Tools of the Trade - The Basics
What is involved in preparing an approval plan? How does a plan work?
Are there selection criteria for choosing one plan over another? For
the answer to these and other questions about approval plans attend
"Approval Plans: Review, Preparation, and Selection". Attendees will
participate in exercises useful in developing approval plan profiles
for their libraries. Participants should bring current collection
development policy statements, mission statements, and course catalogs
or photocopies of pertinent institutional programs.

"Subject Cataloging First Aid for Art Librarians" will be useful to any
librarian. The workshop will provide specific instructions for
cataloging art-related materials, and demystify art subject headings
and classification for those just entering the field, as well as
sharpen the subject cataloging skills of those who have not had
cataloging instruction since library school. The speakers will guide
participants in constructing Library of Congress (L.C.) subject
headings and classification numbers for art-related materials.
Exercises and handouts will provide participants with hands-on
practice. The basic print and electronic tools needed to catalog for an
art library will also be surveyed.

Where is the next generation of Art Catalogers? Learn how you can help
answer this question by attending the Ask ARLIS session on "Renewing
the Profession: Recruiting and Mentoring Art Catalogers". Ideas will
be presented for recruiting and mentoring as well as how to plan and
supervise internships.

Statistics. We all take them but do we make good use of them?
"Statistics You Can Use" will look specifically at areas such as:
Sampling, or how to be sure your numbers are valid so you can use them
with confidence; What kinds of numbers might you want about patrons?
What kind of numbers might you want on collection use? What is
benchmarking all about? How can you do it and why would you want to?
How can it result in a better library?
