The Cataloging Problems Discussion Group is scheduled to meet in Toronto on Sunday evening at 6:30. This conflicts with the Book Arts SIG and several other special interest groups. The Book Arts SIG will be discussing "the artist book form that 23 Sandy Gallery is collecting to facilitate cataloging/discovery/info exchange about their book artists and their work." There is always conflict on the conference schedule but it is really too bad that we cannot share the discussion.
Years ago, before email lists and the internet, CPDG was a vital chance for catalogers to talk about specific issues that came up in applying the rules and procedures, putting scope on LCSH terminology, classification nuance, etc. etc. We can now ask these questions as they come up (or just accept the cataloging copy we find in OCLC). Please let me know if you think we should abandon a CPDG gathering in Toronto and invade the Book Arts SIG.
