Good Morning,

You are cordially invited to attend the following ALA Midwinter program
sponsored by the ALA ALCTS CRS Committee on Holdings Information.

Holdings Information Forum: E-serials Holdings: Whether, Why, and How?

Time: Saturday Jan 24, 4:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m.

Location:  Colorado Convention Center Room 301 (Denver)

Program Description: Unlike the Print world, libraries are no longer the
sole suppliers of holdings data for electronic serials.  The forum will
examine this new reality and address such questions as: Who has the data?
Who provides e-content coverage? Who needs and uses the data? How is the
data exchanged?   In what format?  What are the format standards for
electronic holdings data?  And will a crosswalk between MARC21 and ONIX SOH
(currently in version 1.1) benefit the display of serials holdings
information in local systems?

Speakers:

Heather Staines (Springer US): The Many Facets of Metadata Exchange Between
Publishers and the Research Community, and the Role that A&I Services and
DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) Play in Providing Access to Electronic
Content.

Rebecca Gunther (LC) for Linda Miller (LC): ONIX for Serials: How it Can Map
to the MARC21 Holdings Format

Peter McCracken (Co-founder and Director of Research, Serials Solutions):

Tools, Such as A-to-Z Lists and Link Resolver Knowledgebases
