Dear ARLIS and VRA colleagues:
The Cataloging Section sponsors participation at the ARLIS/NA annual
conferences, mainly on issues concerning bibliographic control, access,
authorized formats, but also topics related to these aspects, such as
impact/correlation between reference and technical services, bibliographic
instruction. The deadline for proposals for the year 2002 conference in St.
Louis is May 1st, 2001.
Many topics in need of discussion/clarification have been pointed out during
the Cataloging Discussion Group, Cataloging Section meeting, SCIPIO Users
Group meeting, and on other occasions. Here are some:
Cataloging: Exhibition Catalogs
Manuscripts
Facsimile
Visual materials
Collection catalogs
Special collections
Collection level records
Auction catalogs (SCIPIO)
Cataloging/Reference Services:
Impact of changes in the LCSH on reference
services, users, OPACs
SH -- providers and users
How can catalogers help in Bibliographic Instruction
Topics mentioned at the annual conference in 1999, but not pursued:
Involvement of catalogers in bibliographic instruction
Authority records as sources of information
Please meditate upon these topics and take courage to structure ideas you
might have already had on these topics, or decide to share your knowledge
and expertise in any of these areas through a panel/session/workshop
participation. The annual conferences are wonderful fori for sharing and
enhancing our professional experiences. What could be more desirable than a
direct solution from a colleague or the satisfaction of authoring one?!
Please remember that the deadline is May 1st, 2001. Send your proposals to
the moderator at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> . Thank you.
