Dear Colleagues:
ALCTS again is bringing you a quality Preconference.
You are cordially invited to attend the 2003 ALCTS Preconference on
Knowledge Without Boundaries: Libraries in Collaboration, to be held
from Thursday to Friday, June 19-20, 2003 in Toronto. We wish to
extend a special invitation to our Canadian and worldwide colleagues to
join us at the first joint CLA/ALA/ALCTS Preconference to explore the
latest development in Metadata.
Please visit ALCTS Web Site at:
http://www.ala.org/alcts/education/preconference.htm
Libraries have expanded their role as knowledge managers beyond the
boundaries of the library. They have entered into collaborative projects
with other information-bearing institutions to create new forms of
access to a variety of materials. Librarians need to be aware of
metadata standards that are being integrated into library portals, which
will precipitate cataloging rule revisions. This program will present
collaborative projects and programs that impact library methods of
providing access to information and will also present changes and trends
in cataloging.
Main Objectives of Program:
1. Participants will become more informed about the choices of
metadata standards and their integration with traditional library
cataloging.
2. Participants will have a better understanding of the current
changes and trends in cataloging.
3. Participants will become more knowledgeable about specialized
projects being conducted at home and internationally in the Web
environment.
Keynote Speakers: Dr. Clifford Lynch, Executive Director, Coalition
for Networked Information; Beacher J.E. Wiggins, Acting Associate
Librarian for Library Services and Director for Cataloging, Library of
Congress.

the Dublin Core Usage Board; Dr. Howard Besser, Professor and Director,
