FYI
There is also a program on CCO that may be of interest to MARBI folk. Note
that the third speaker, Maria Oldal, Head of Cataloging & Database
Management at the Pierpont Morgan Library, applies the CCO in a MARC
framework and a library OPAC.

Program title:
Cataloging Cultural Objects: Toward a Metadata Content Standard for
Libraries, Archives and Museums
Program date:
Saturday, June 25, 2005 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Program location:
See Conference Program for location
Abstract:
An introduction to Cataloguing Cultural Objects, A Guide to Describing
Cultural Works and Their Images. CCO is an emerging metadata content
standard for a broad range of cultural materials that addresses the needs
of libraries, archives and museums. CCO is based on the Categories for
Description of Works of Arts (CDWA) and the Visual Resource Association VRA
core.
Speakers and abstracts:
Elisa Lanzi, Past President, Visual Resources Association and Director of
Image Collections, Smith College Dept. of Art, Northampton, Massachusetts
Where did CCO come from? What is it? Why is it needed? Lanzi explains the
methodology, influencing factors, and community involvement in building CCO
as a collaborative standard. Lanzi also reports on plans for the future of
CCO which include an ALA print publication and a "CCO Cataloger" Web site.
Ann Whiteside, Vice President, ARLIS/NA and Director, Fiske Kimball Fine
Arts Library, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia
Whiteside gives an editor's overview of CCO showing, in some detail, just
how CCO is laid out and what it covers. A virtual walk-through will be
given to provide images and examples from the CCO manual.
Maria Oldal, Head of Cataloging & Database Management, The Pierpont Morgan
Library
CCO is a promising alternative to AACR for the cataloging of art and
cultural objects in libraries. Oldal applies CCO within the framework of
MARC, discusses MARC coding of CCO records, and analyzes MARC records
created according to CCO guidelines.
Jonathan Furner, Assistant Editor, Dewey Decimal Classification, OCLC
Online Computer Library Center, Inc.; prior to April 2005, Assistant
Professor in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at
the University of California, Los Angeles
Furner focuses on the CCO rules for identifying, describing, and recording
the subjects of works and images. He reviews the challenges faced by
providers of subject access to cultural objects, evaluates the responses in
the library, archives, and museum fields, and previews the opportunities
promised by CCO.
