Without this service HQ/HECSA Library would be forced to catalog each acquisition from scratch at the cost of one man-hour for description, subject heading selection and determining where each resource should sit on a Library of Congress shelving system per item.� The HQ/HECSA library would also become separated from the interlibrary lending economy, thus unable to receive loaned resources necessary for the USACE mission.
