I'm forwarding the following on behalf of Heidi Hass and our hosts at the
Morgan Library :
Danny Fermon
The next Catalogers' Discussion Group meeting will be held at the temporary
quarters of the Pierpont Morgan Library, on the 24th floor of the U.S. Trust
building (114 W. 47th St.).
Topics:
First, a live demonstration of CORSAIR, the Morgan's online collections
catalog, on the web as well as via the Voyager Cataloging module. Special
emphasis will be placed on the extensive locally-defined indexes, the use of
special vocabularies, and customized record displays.
Next, a discussion of CORSAIR's supporting documentation, including help
pages, collection descriptions, and the voluminous manuscript descriptions
that are linked to bibliographic records.
Finally, Bob DeCandido, database coordinator, will demonstrate and discuss
his work designing databases for museum collection management functions,
including Conservation, Photo Rights, and Registrarial functions. These
databases all pull data from CORSAIR records.
Refreshments will be served.
Please pass this invitation along to anyone in your institution who might
want to attend.
When:
Mon., September 29, 3:00-5:00 p.m.
Where:
24th floor, 114 W. 47th St., just west of 6th Ave. Please check in at the
security desk in the lobby, then proceed up to the 24th floor. Morgan staff
will meet you there.
