Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) Technical Services Interest group
URL: http://www.alaoweb.org/comsigs/tsig/
Jody Perkins and I are planning the spring ALAO Technical Services Interest group meeting currently. We would like to know if anyone has recommendations for topics for this meeting. Typically this meeting is one day long and includes 3 or 4 sessions grouped around a unifying topic. Here are a few example options that we have been tossing about so far:
-Current issues in acquisitions
-Deep dive into FRBR / RDA
-Overview of various Metadata Standards – Dublin Core, EAD, etc.
-Crosswalking between MARC and other formats (although this increasingly being automated)
-Learning Object metadata – LOM, SCORM, etc.
-Ohio NACO Funnel – is there potential?
-Authority control
-Cooperative technical services – I mean shared tasks between institutions
-Current issues in serials
-ISBN-13 / Edifact
-Libraries in the age of Amazoogle – how this all fits with Technical Services
-Preservation – digital and otherwise
Please – don’t let this list limit your thinking. We are open to all suggestions and ideas. Thanks in advance for your contributions!
