Apologies for duplication, this has been sent to several lists.

 

The ALCTS Continuing Resources Cataloging Committee

invites you to the Monday Update Forum

at the 2009 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago,

Monday July 13, 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM,

in Room W-474  at McCormick Place West.

 

After a short update on current news in the serials cataloging world from

representatives of the ISSN program, CONSER, and the Library of Congress,

and a quick digest of the news from CC:DA by CRS's liaison, Jennifer Baxmeyer,

 

the Committee is pleased to present a special panel on

 

Article-Level Access to Resources

 

Panelists :

Diane Boehr,  Head of the Cataloging Section at the National Library

of Medicine,

Glenn Patton, Director of WorldCat Quality Management at OCLC,

Paul Burley, Technical Services Librarian at Northwestern

University's Transportation Library

 

Whether we are contributing records for institutional repositories,

special collections material,

or trying to smooth federated searching among the information silos,

many of us confront a gathering expectation that detailed information about

article-level resources should be available to our patrons.

 

These panelists will address some of the avenues through which

these expectations are being met.

We expect this topic may be of interest to the entire resource

description community,

so please plan to join us in Chicago for what may be an eye-opening

peek into the future.
