Seeking Proposals for Presentations at the Copy Cataloging Interest Group at
Midwinter ALA
We would like to invite you to submit a proposal for a presentation and
discussion at the upcoming Midwinter meeting of the Copy Cataloging Interest
Group. The presentation should be about 15-20 minutes long and the presenter
will lead the discussion. Topics can cover any aspects of copy cataloging in
all types of libraries. Some topics of interest to the group are below. This
is not inclusive or meant to be prescriptive or limiting, just a suggested
list of topics that seem of current interest or were raised in the IG
itself. If you would kindly submit an abstract or outline of your proposal
and I and the vice-chair/chair-elect will review them and shape a program. I
would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to our new
vice-chair/chair-elect, Margaret (Meg) Mering from the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries.
* Copy cataloging for special collections.
* Training and preparing copy catalogers for FRBR and RDA, FRBR being
here already and RDA on its way.
* Copy cataloging for special formats, such as electronic resources.
* Copy cataloging and vendor records.
* Foreign language records, parallel records and other issues.
* The effects the current economic crisis in libraries has on copy
cataloging and how are you coping?
* Copy catalogers and the next generation catalog. Training copy
catalogers about searching for resources on a next generation catalog as
compared to the traditional catalog. What do they need to know about yours?
* Core competencies for copy catalogers of the future.
* Implications of the Library of Congress Study of the North
American MARC Records Marketplace.
Topics covered in recent meetings have included:
* Experiences and issues related to OCLC WorldCat Local.
* The PCC Provider-Neutral E-Monograph Record Standard.
* Integrating vendor copy cataloging into your library catalog
Looking forward to hearing from you! Our ALA midwinter schedule has not been
finalized yet and we'll let you know as soon as it is released.
