Call for Proposal - Catalog Management Interest Group Program at 2011 ALA Mid-Winter

Call for Proposal - Catalog Management Interest Group Program at 2011 ALA Mid-Winter

The ALCTS CCS Catalog Management Interest Group invites proposals for presentations at our meeting to be held at the 2011 ALA Midwinter Meeting in San Diego, CA. The group will be meeting on Saturday, Jan.
8th from 1:30pm to 3:30pm.

The charge of the Catalog Management Interest Group is to discuss the various issues involved with cataloging, classification, and authority control after the initial cataloging has been performed. In this
respect, catalog management is defined as the continuous upgrading and updating of a catalog, regardless of its format, be it card, microform, book or online. The group will provide a forum for exchanging information and discussing techniques, new developments, and problems in managing the bibliographic integrity of library catalogs.

Past presentations have covered merging catalogs, managing e-books, the single-record approach for monographs, adding genre headings to the catalog, and more.

Proposals can be submitted to awu@uh.edu. The deadline for proposals submission is Nov. 5, 2010.

Thanks in advance.
