The ALCTS CaMMS Catalog Management
Interest Group (CMIG) invites
proposals for presentations at ALA's 2014 Midwinter Meeting in
Philadelphia. The group will be meeting on Saturday, January
25th from 1:00 until 2:30.
CMIG's charge is to discuss the various issues involved with cataloging, classification,
and authority control after initial cataloging
has been performed. Catalog management is defined as
the continuous upgrading and updating of a catalog,
regardless of its format, be it card, microform, book, or online.
The group will provide a forum for exchanging information and
discussing techniques, new developments, and problems in managing
the bibliographic integrity of library catalogs.
Presentations should be 15-20 minutes in length. Past presentations
have covered topics such as adapting catalogs
for RDA, patron driven acquisition programs, adding facets and genre
headings to the catalog, and
managing a batch OCLC reclamation project. Other catalog
related topics such as record retention policies, gathering
collection information from the catalog,
batch generation of records, are also welcome.
Please email your proposal to Wanda Jazayeri ([log in to unmask]).
Proposals are due by Wednesday,
November
26th.
