ALA MidWinter: Heads of Cat. Discussion Group

ALA MidWinter: Heads of Cat. Discussion Group
San Antonio -- January 23, 2006

I am seeking ideas and volunteers for the Heads of Cataloging Discussion Group meeting at ALA Midwinter in San Antonio in January.

Do you have a topic related to managing a cataloging department in which you are interested, a problem that has troubled you as a cataloger or a cataloging head, or something about which you are passionate? What are your current or ongoing concerns in managing a cataloging department? Would you be willing to speak for fifteen or twenty minutes in order to
get a good discussion going? Do you know someone who would be a good discussion starter? Do you have a topic on which you would like to pick some brains or share some information?

If any of this piques your interest (either as a volunteer or just to suggest a topic), please write to me, David Anderson, at danderso@gsu.edu.

The Heads of Cataloging Discussion Group will meet Monday morning, January 23, 2006. Meeting places in San Antonio have not yet been assigned. I think our new time will be 8:00 a.m., but I'll let you know about that. Come share information and announce vacant positions.
