----------------------------Original message---------------------------- To decipher the alphabet soup. This message is an invitation to the January 1997 meeting of the ARLIS/NY Cataloging Discussion group to be held in room 503 Butler Library, Columbia University. (Room 503 is the computer training center.) The meeting will start at 3 p.m. (a little earlier than usual) as the library closes at 5 p.m. on the eighth. I do not have an agenda for the meeting viewing it as an opportunity for people to see the training center and the resources mounted on our "MOSIS" workstations, although this gathering might serve as a tie-in to a future discussion on the cataloging of internet (or other resources governed by access rather than ownership). To get to Columbia by subway take the IRT no. 1 or 9 ONLY to the 116th Street stop. As you exit, you should see the gates to the University either immediately to your left at 116th St. which dead-ends into them. Enter the gates. Walk to the sundial which is a stumpy stone structure halfway across the walk. To your right is a large ersatz Georgian block of a building. This is Butler Library. There will be a guard posted at the door. PLEASE RSVP TO CAROL PARDO AT EITHER [log in to unmask] OR PHONE 212 854-7564 so that I can inform the guard who is coming and so that your access card can be made ahead of time. This will make it a lot easier to get in the building. Once inside, turn left and left again to get to the elevators. At the fifth floor exit turning right. Room 503 is four (I think) doors down--at any rate the doors are all numbered. By bus take the 5 to 116 and Riverside Dr. and walk up the hill to the gate or the 104 or 4 which let you off at the subway exit. I hope this doesn't sound too condescending but there is a lot of construction on campus and it is very easy to become lost. See you on January 8, weather permitting (remember last January 8th, with 30 inches of snow on the ground?). Carol Pardo
