Welcome to the new Educat discussion list.
You have been automatically subscribed because you participated in the
ALA Midwinter 2004 workshop: Preparing 21st Century Cataloging and
Metadata Professionals: A Workshop for Educators and Trainers,
sponsored by ALCTS, ALISE, LC, and OCLC.
The list has been established as a forum for issues in teaching cataloging
and metadata principles and techniques for electronic resources, as well
as the broader issues relating to cataloging education and training. In the
short term, we will give the workshop attendees an opportunity to comment
on the topics covered in the workshop, then we will make a general
announcement about the list’s availability to the wider cataloging
community.
We hope you will use this vehicle to continue the discussions begun at the
workshop, such as the Levels of Expertise delineated in Ingrid Hsieh
Yee’s report, and the role of catalogers and cataloging education in
preparing professionals to work with digital resources and collections.
Many thanks to the Cataloging Distribution Service at the Library of
Congress, which is hosting the list.
You will receive a second message shortly with instructions for using the
list, including how to unsubscribe if you decide not to participate.
