I sent my book to the Library of Congress. Why can't I find it?

The first place to look is the Library of Congress Online Catalog to see if the item has been cataloged. If it is not found there, check with the office to which you sent your book: Copyright Office, Cataloging in Publication program, or the appropriate Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access acquisitions division.

Please note: not all items that are submitted for copyright registration or donation are added to the Library's collections.
