The ALCTS CCS Catalog Management Interest Group invites proposals for presentations for our meeting at ALA Annual in Washington, D.C. The group will be meeting on Saturday, June 26, from 1:30-3:30.
The charge of the Catalog Management Discussion Group is to discuss the various issues involved with cataloging, classification, and authority control after the initial cataloging has been performed. In this respect, catalog management is defined as the continuous upgrading and updating of a catalog, regardless of its format, be it card, microform, book or on-line. The group will provide a forum for exchanging information and discussing techniques, new developments, and problems in managing the bibliographic integrity of library catalogs.
Past presentations have covered merging catalogs, managing e-books, the single-record approach for monographs, adding genre headings to the catalog, and more.
Proposals are due by May 28, 2010.
