Dreams D.

*1. Nuts and Bolts of a Serials Retrospective Batch Load Project with
OCLC. *

*Presenter: Xaoli Li (Head of Serials Dept., University of California,
Davis)*

**In 2006, the Serials Department of Shields Library at the University
of California, Davis, launched a retrospective batch load project with
OCLC to convert over 32,000 RLIN serials records. The presenter will
provide an overview of the project and discuss issues and implications
for the University of California pilot of OCLC WorldCat Local.

*2. Project TRANSFER.*

*Presenters: Yvette Diven (Ulrich's Product Manager at Serials
Solutions) and Beth Bernhardt (Electronic Journals / Document Delivery
Librarian, University of North Carolina at Greensboro)*

Journal transfers between publishers can present special challenges in
the electronic environment that affect not only the publishers involved
but librarians, intermediaries, and the end-users of scholarly
information. The presenters will talk about the important work of the
UKSG's TRANSFER initiative, established in April 2006, from a
publisher's and librarian's perspective.

*3. RDA and the cataloging of reproductions, facsimiles and microforms.*

*Presenter: Steve Knowlton (Library Holdings Analyst with the UMI
Division of ProQuest)*

**The emphasis will be on the ways that the FRBR model informs
cataloging of reproductions, and how RDA expresses that model.

Hope to see you there!
