Box 140 Ghlitlotte alie, St. Thomas I am leased to welcome this first iwssue of Virgin Islands Government Docu ts, a quarterly checklist of local government Publications received by 9 posit9ry libraries. I ° By the passage of legislation creating deposit6ry libraries, the Govern- ment of the Virgin Islands recognizes its committment to preserve our his tory and our heritage. By establishing depositories on all 'three islands, it further recognizes its responsibility to make these records accessible and, vavailable to the. public. a We hope_that the' ystematic building of collections of Virgin Islands goverriment"publication as well 'as the maintaining of an already existing collection, will encoue researchers, teachers, and students to explore the many areas of governmespt that have yet to be documented. We further hope that the depository collections will provide "invaluableeource material and historical record's for Virgin Islanders of the,future. Virdin C. Brown Commissioner , OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION & cuLTp RAL -AFFAI RS BUREAU OF LIBRARIES, MUSEUMS, & ARCHAEOLOGICAL SERVICES PREFACE Virgin Wands government publi tions constitute one of the major resources available to the community In recent years we have seen a gr;at.., proliferation of documents produced y Virgin Islands government agencies, accompanied by a cor sponding ne by 'the public for access to the great quantity of information uced. It is in response to this need that the Bureau of Libraries is pleased to initiate thji publication of a check- list of territorial government documents. The purpose.of this publication is to prov,ide a Comprehensive guide to the government documents resources of the territory, and to thereby avail the public and interested scholars of *the tremendous cultural and informa- tional resources represented by the vast numbers of Virgin Islands govern- ment publications. Special emphasis is placed upon encouraging the derloti- ment of a cooperative territory-wide network for Overnment documents 1 sources. This checklist of Virgin Islands gOvernment documents hopefully' - will serve as an impetus for this network. The need for this checklist is an imMediate one, as there currently exists no comparable list dealing with documents resources in the Virgin Islands. The systematic collecting of 'public documents not only makes availabie government sources to scholars and the general public but also ensures their preservation as historical .records. Although, the Bureau has 'been active in this area for. many years, new depository library legislation makes possible for us to build and maintain a better and more complete collection, as lye!! as to provide more comprehensive service to the govern- ment and people of the Virgin Islands. The depository law also provides for a records management program to be admitistered through the Bureau. Unfortunately, fiscal restrictions have made it impossible to implement this program although there are'plans to do so in the near future. In view of the fact that We have carried out this project without any additional financial support, the projeCt staff, particularly Ms. Jeannette Allis, should be com- mended for their fine work. We are pleased to provide Virgin Islandkgovernment agencies and the ge'neral public with this valuable research- tool. We hope that this check- list and the succeeding issues thereof will encourage 'scholarly work in the area of Virgin Islands history and government; we are very proud to be able to offer a contribution-to these worthy endeavors. 112 14L-7 enry C. thong; Ph. . rz ' Director and Territorial Librarian V INTRODUCTION tr ., ,.... , / `111 Virgin: islands Goderninent Documents is a checklist of local govern- ,ment.t5publications received by the Territoriar Librarian during each three- month period under the provisions,of the.Depository Law. In addition, each checklist includes some older non-current government publicati?ns taken from thealready existing documents collections and inc.illorated 'into'the depository. . . , / In Ire 1977, depository libraries for territorial public documents were established the U.S. Virgin Islands Act No.J3955, Bill No. 7500). .1ri The law designat l' five libraries in the territory as legal depositories: Enid M. Baa Library, Sc. Thomas; Florence WilliamsLibrary, St. Croix, Cruz Bay s Library, St. John; Ralph M. Paiewonsky Library, College of the Virgin Is- landS, St. Thomas;*St. Croix Campus Library, .College of the Virgin "Island-Nz The , aw l requires that each government agency deposit at least, ten --. , - , public document 'opies,of each p with the Territorial Librariah. The Territo- rial Librarian -of the Bureau of Libraries, Museums, and Archaeological' 4 Services, Depahment of Conservation and Cultural Affairs, in aim, dis- tributeo copies of each documen; to each depository library. He also (" , - administers the depbsitory system. 4 The Office of the Territorial Librarian at the Enid M. Baa Library, St. Thomas, receives and distributes all government documentp UP deposit.

This checklist is available free of charge to depository libraries, govern- - .ment agencies, and any other individual or institution requesting it. Further . inqUiries concerning depository collections should be directed to Opcult, rnents,Enid M. Baa Library, St: Thomas. 0 Jeannette B. Allis Documents Librarian 4 c This checklist of 'Virgin Islands public documents is arranged by classification number. The classification .scheme reflects the government organization, by Departments, Instrumentalities, and Boards and Commissions rather of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government. It was felt that preserrvi the integrity of The various govei-nment units by specific function and authority would facilitate identification, accessibility, .and wability to the public. Each Departmen't is assigned two letters in an alphabetical sequence preceded by V for Virgin Islands. Divisions within each Department are assigned numbers based on a.notation table. A docu- ment is fu'rthe; divided by type of material. (i.e annual report, newsletter), and by title or year, ,(see appendix 2). For example: Information, v. 2, no. 1,'1977, published by the Bureau of Libraries, Museums, ari,d Archaeological. NOTE ON THE ARRANGEMENT Services.

In accordance with the classification scheme, items in the checklist are listed under Department and arranged by Division or Bureau with these being in alphabetical order by key word.

Intboth indexes, the entry is keyed to the classification number of the document. The Subject Index utilizes LikariOf Congress Subject Headings which are reflected in the card catalogues of the depository libraries, as are the Author/Title entries. ., Where more than one issue of a' serial has been accessioned in any one quarterly period, each issue is listed separately under tkentry. Theentries.and issues will reflect not only items currently received but also older documeNts which are already part of the Documents collection but are now being made... part of the Depository. For example., Annual' Reports for the Department of Educ.-"- listed-in this issue include, not only the ?host current report, bu-t also those going back to 1922. Where the frequency of a serial is notself-evident from its title, this information is provided as part of the entry. An illu-st-r--ation'not(k and "pagination is also included.

VIRGIN IsLANo& DOCUMENTS CLASSIFICATION SCHEME The Virgin Islands Documents Classification (VIDC) is adapted from the Superintendent of Documents Classification, and the Classification Scheme for Pennsylvania State Publications. The Classification notation is composed of a combination of letters and numbers. The first part of the VIDC consists of one or two letters to distinguish the issuing Department or Agency, preceded by 'a V to -identify Virgin Islands, i.e. VAD = Virgin Islands Department of AgPiculture. VLE = Virgin Islands Legislature, VGO = Office of the Governor.' The next part of the notation designates the Division or Bureau within the department that is directly responsible for the publication. A publication issued by the department as a whole or by the Com- missioner's Office receives a 1. A publication issued by a division or a burea,receives two digits derived from the first two letters of the name of the division and based on the following tables: TABLE I A - 2 -10 Q - 18 Y - 26 B - 3 J - 11 R - 19 Z - 27 C - 4 K- 12 5 -20 Q 5 L- 13 T - 21 E - 6 M - 14 U - 22 F - 7 N - 15 V - 23 G =8 0 -16 W - 24 H - 9 7 P - 17 X - 25 TABLE I I a,b -2. e,f -4 c,d-3 0-5 i,j,k - 6 I,m.n - 7 o-t - 8 u-z - 9 thus, VCD218.= DepartMent of Commerce, DiNiision of Tourism VCN136. = Department of Conservation and Cultural Affairs.' Bureau of Libraries, Museums, and Archaeological Services. Following the period, comes,the number for series form. The following numbers are assigned to series forms: 1: Annu I Reports; 1/2: Monthly Reports ' 2: Gen ral Publicatiorls (Unnumbered publications of a miscel- - lane s nature) 3: Bulletins or newsletters 4: Circulars 5: Laws (administered by the agency and published by it) 6: Regulations, rules and instructions 7: Releases 8: Handbooks, manuals; guides A root number is thereby created consisting of Department, Division, and type -of publication, i.e. VCD 1.1: ,= Annual Report of the Department of Commerce. 21 I , For publications with no distinctive title, dates or series numbers are added to this root number, i.e. VCD 1.1:977 = Department of Commerce, Annual Report for'1977. Wheh there is a distinctive title, the two tables above are used for la notation based on the first two letters of the key word of the title. If fprther distinction is necessary, the first letter of the second word is also used. Since there may be several titles of series starting with the same,letters, a diagonal mark " / " is used to separate the first, second, and/or third numbers 41 the notation, thus keeping the materials as alphabetical as possible. If the title is part of a series, dates or series numbers may also be added. example: Information, v. II, no. 1, 1977, published by the Bureau of Libraries, Mu- seums and Archaeological Services. VCN 136.3:10/7/977/no.1 VCN = Department of Conservation 136. = Bureau of Libraries 3: - newsletter (form) 10/7 = Information (title) 977/no.1 = year and number Instrumentalities are -designated yY followed by the initial letters of the key word, or an assigned letter and the numbers. Boards and Com- missions are designated VX. For example: VYCV42 = College of the Virgin Islands, Caribbean Research Institute. As the collection. expands and as changes occur in the government structure, it may become necessary to adapt the rules outlined above. Al- though it is expected that some discrepancies will develop, it is hoped that the VIDC will be able to accommodate most of these changes without major adjustments. do. 22
