Does content in the catalog change?

Yes. Important catalog content does sometimes change after original printing, thus requiring modifications and enhancements. These changes are typically addressed through the production of Catalog Addenda. Time-sensitive information that cannot wait for the next addendum to be printed is posted alongside the online digital version of the catalog. Please view the Catalog Updates & Policies page for more information.
