“Since many government publications become known by short titles that appear nowhere on the piece,
and since libraries catalog them under institutional titles, a device for

The present catalog is the fourth edition of a work the Library of Congress first issued in 1966.”
…. From the Foreword. Donald F. Wisdom, Chief, Serial and Government Publications Division.
