CFP: Catalog Management Interest Group (ALA Midwinter, Boston)

The ALCTS CCS Catalog Management Interest Group invites proposals for presentations for our meeting at Midwinter in Boston. The group will be meeting on Saturday, January 16th, from 1:30-3:30.

The charge of the Catalog Management Discussion Group is as follows: 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 on-line. The group will provide a forum for exchanging information and discussing techniques, new developments, and problems in managing the bibliographic integrity of library catalogs.

Proposals are due by November 30, 2009.

Are you attending ALA Midwinter in Boston? Each year at ALA Midwinter IUG holds an afternoon meeting for IUG members. Our next meeting is January 15, 2010, 2-5pm in Boston, MA.

I am still looking for two more presenters. Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to present at this meeting. We're a friendly crowd.

Would you like to do a group presentation? Or one by yourself? It can be 30 minutes or an hour. This is a great time to share something innovative you are doing with your Innovative system. Doing something new and different you would like to share? Web 2.0? Breaking out of a mold? Encore? AirPAC? Technology planning?

If you are local to the Boston area, all the better. We like to showcase local talent.

There is no cost for the meeting and you do not need to register for ALA to attend or present at our meeting.
