The charge of the CaMMS Research & Publications Committee is to promote awareness of the current status of research in cataloging and classification and to identify areas where research is needed; to encourage librarians to initiate research in bibliographic control; to solicit essays or white papers on bibliographic control; to facilitate proposals of topics for discussion, research, publication and action. (adopted January 2016)
