CFP: ALCTS CCS Catalog Management Interest (ALA Annual, Chicago)

CFP: ALCTS CCS Catalog Management Interest (ALA Annual, Chicago)

The ALCTS CCS Catalog Management Interest Group invites proposals for presentations for our meeting at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago. The group will be meeting on Saturday, July 11th, from 1:30-3:30.

Topics for presentations are open, but must fit within the group's mission statement, outlined below:

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.

Deadline for submissions is May 22, 2009. Please submit proposals and any questions to:
