Calling all Internship Supervisors and Interns: 

Have you been part of a successful cataloging and/or metadata internship
experience? The ALCTS CaMMS Competencies and Education for a Career in
Cataloging Interest Group seeks speakers to present at its session during
the 2017 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Atlanta on Friday, January 20, 2017,
1:00-2:30 pm. 

 

We are interested in the keys to effective internships in preparing future
cataloging and metadata professionals, and we would like you to share your
strategies and best practices with us. Our interest group discusses the
current state of education and employment in cataloging and explores the
relationship of cataloging practitioners and employers with library
educators.

 

Presentations (not including time for questions and answers) should last no
longer than 20 minutes.

 

Please submit a presentation proposal to Susan Rathbun-Grubb
([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ) and Allison
Yanos ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ),
Co-Chairs of the Competencies and Education for a Career in Cataloging
Interest Group by Friday, November 18th. Your proposal should include: 1)
Proposed presentation title; 2) abstract (up to 150 words); and 3) name and
