Core IG Week MARC Format Transition IG session on Mar. 8, 2023 : "There's A LOT Still Happening in MARC : Some Updates on MARC Formats"

  • 1.  Core IG Week MARC Format Transition IG session on Mar. 8, 2023 : "There's A LOT Still Happening in MARC : Some Updates on MARC Formats"

    Dear fellow members of the MARC Format Transition Interest Group,

    I am pleased to announce formally that our IG is holding a session during the Core IG Week on Wednesday, March 8th at 1pm(ET)/noon(CT)/10am(PT).  

    session title: "There's A LOT Still Happening in MARC : Some Updates on MARC Formats" 
    session description: The MARC Format Transition Interest Group is pleased to hold a session on what is happening to the MARC Format while Linked Data initiatives are intensifying and progressing. The IG is fortunate to hear from three groups on their latest activities and reports:
    Whether your institutions will transition to Linked Data in the near future or not, It seems MARC will co-exist in the library world for a long time to come. So what do we need to be aware of in the MARC format's transition?

    I am still looking for any IG members who are interested in helping out during the session. Also if you have any initial questions (i.e., what would you like to know from each respective group), or any ideas or adjustments that would help realize the purpose or goals of this session., please post here or contact me (suzukik@newschool) directly.

    To register the session, go to the Core IG Week website or via the direct link: https://ala-events.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEuc-mupj8uEtFYlChf3vOZdUqoCTiY0WET 

    Best,
