[IUG] ALA Midwinter: ALCTS DG: Role of Professional Librarian in Technical Services

[mikerice at umich dot edu]

How does your library divide cataloging tasks between MLS and non-MLS 
catalogers?

We think this is an important question as the cataloging landscape 
continues to evolve.  Please join us at ALA Mid-Winter as we think 
together about various approaches:

ALCTS DG: The Role of the Professional Librarian in Technical Services
Topic: Appropriate Roles for MLS and Non-MLS Catalogers
Date: Sunday, January 13, 2008
Time: 4-6 PM
Location: Pennsylvania Convention Center - Room 308
Moderator and Chair: Ruth Fischer, Partner, R2 Consulting LLC

Mary McKeown (Cataloging Librarian at Notre Dame University) will 
kick-off the session with a 15 minute presentation about how she and 
her staff at Notre Dame University have developed a formal MLS/non-MLS 
partnership approach. A moderated discussion will follow which we 
expect to include topics related to MARC and non-MARC metadata creation.

If you will be unable to attend, we would love to hear your thoughts 
and experiences ahead of time.  Please reply for the list or send them 
directly to Michael Rice (mikerice at bus dot umich dot edu), who will share your 
input with us at Mid-Winter!

Happy Holidays!

Mike
