Greetings friends,

http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/sc-cs/anthem_e.cfm

I provide a link to the Canadian Heritage/Patrimoine canadien web site which allows you to see the text of "O Canada." On this page there is a link that will play the anthem while you read the following email. It makes wonderful listening. Singing along is quite fun and is encouraged.

Following the excellent announcement of LAC/BAC regarding their decision to continue creating series authority records -- see below -- I was ruminating this fine Saturday morning on some of my favorite series and on the notion of the series publication in general.

Two immediately came to mind -- Phaidon's excellent Themes and Movements and their Contemporary Artists. I have always found these titles to be first rate works, well written, well researched, and, joy, well designed. I'm sure many of you are familiar with them. The Themes and Movements title on Arte Povera is on my desk now. Its Documents section provides an excellent collection to primary texts of the movement.

Cheers to all,

Peter Blank

LAC Decision on Series Authority Records

Although LAC supports the goal of more cost-effective cataloguing and is undertaking its own review of policies, LAC has decided not to follow LC's recent decision to cease the creation of series authority records. The results of a costing analysis and consultation with the Canadian library community and with the public service areas of LAC indicate that the benefits of controlled series access points and authorities outweigh the cost of their creation.

La décision de BAC concernant les notices d'autorité de collection

Bien que BAC a comme but d'appuyer le catalogage d'une manière rentable et est à revoir ses propres politiques, BAC a décidé de ne pas se conformer à la dernière décision qu'a prise LC concernant la cessation de création de notices d'autorité de collection. Les résultats d'une analyse de coûts et des consultations avec la communauté des bibliothèques canadiennes ainsi que les différents secteurs des services publics de BAC nous ont démontré que les avantages des points d'accès de collections contrôlées et des autorités l'emportaient sur le coût de leur création.
