Hi -- You're right, it's at SJSU and it's new (first year) but the 
collaborating institution is QUT -- Queensland University of Technology -- 
in Australia.

> I wasn't following this thread closely until I saw Hope's note yesterday, so I apologize if I miss the point a bit. We have about 60 students in our Ph.D. in Information Studies program. I wouldn't say that any of them are "doctoral students in cataloging," although certainly we would welcome that. I have two graduates who are teaching basic courses in library schools, and a candidate who teaches our basic course for us. I have 7 students writing dissertations at the moment, all of them squarely in knowledge organization, but none directly related to cataloging. In my knowledge organization seminar this semester I have 11 students, all working on KO research; two are working on cataloging issues--one on subject headings for Spanish speakers, the other on 5th-grade-friendly terminology. So that's sort of a toss-up from LIU I guess.
