Publisher's Cataloging in Publication Services

Are you a small press that is ineligible for the Library of Congress' Cataloging in Publication program?
Are you a self-publishing author who wants to have your work made more accessible in libraries?
Publisher's Cataloging in Publication (PCIP) adds value and professionalism to your published work and makes it easier for libraries to add to their collections.
Our PCIP is custom prepared for you by professional librarians with years of book cataloging experience.


Publisher's Cataloging in Publication (PCIP) is a catalog record (for the copyright page of your book) which allows librarians to quickly and easily add your title to their collection, using the correct classification numbers and subject headings. We create a customized PCIP to reflect the contents of your title, including:
  • Formatted description of your book (author, title, publisher, edition, etc.)
  • Official Library of Congress subject headings
  • All names in official, standardized forms
  • Library of Congress call number
  • Dewey Decimal call number

What do you need to provide for PCIP?
  • A copy of your book's title page and copyright page
  • Information concerning all named persons associated with your book (author(s), editor(s), illustrator(s), etc.)
  • Your print and/or e-book ISBNs
  • A description of your book's subject matter
We provide a simple form for you to fill out that guides you through all of the required information.
