Continuing Resources Cataloging Forum
Monday, June 26
1-2:30 PM
McCormick Place W190a
Program theme: “The Serialist Mindset: Working with Continuing Resources and other Unsolvable Problems”
Describing and providing access to continuing resources is an intellectually challenging endeavor, which requires catalogers to make full use of their skill, wit, imagination, and powers of observation. What lessons
do the people engaged in this work bring to other aspects of their jobs as librarians and researchers? This fascinating discussion will look at how the serialist mindset, trained by complexities of describing and providing access to continually changing resources,
can be applied to other situations in a useful way.
Speakers:
Christopher H. Walker (Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA)
Tina Shrader (U.S. Nat’l. Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD)
