CFP: ALCTS CCS Catalog Management Discussion Group (ALA Midwinter)

CFP: ALCTS CCS Catalog Management Discussion Group (ALA Midwinter)

The ALCTS CCS Catalog Management Discussion Group is tentatively scheduled to meet at ALA Midwinter in Seattle on Saturday, January 20, at 1:30-3:30. Please consider submitting a proposal for presentation and discussion. I've included the charge to this Discussion Group below.

Charge: 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.
