> "On the Record", the report of the Library of Congress Working Group on

> librarians involved in bibliographic control (writ large) and educators.
> This hour and a half-long forum will feature three speakers, providing

> other’s presentations, and to questions and comments from the audience.

> well they prepared her for her current position.
>
> *Beth Picknally Camden*, Patricia and Bernard Goldstein Director of
> Information Processing, University of Pennsylvania.
> As a library administrator, responsible for managing catalogers and
