<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>The meeting will begin with <b>Jina
Choi Wakimoto</b>’s (Faculty Director, Cataloging and Metadata Services
Dept. University of Colorado at Boulder) “<b>Scope of the Library Catalog
in Time of Transition</b>."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There has been a flurry of healthy discussions and debates
about the future of cataloging and the catalog, from FRBR and RDA on cataloging
rules (focus on content) to next-generation discovery interfaces on the catalog
(focus on carrier). A segment that is not receiving as much attention in
the midst is the scope of the library catalog. Library catalog can be
viewed as the Web in the local context. This presentation offers an
opinion on the scope of the catalog in a research library, the role of the
catalogers in this time of transition and some practical approaches catalogers
can take to reposition the catalog. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Next, <b>Elaine L. Westbrooks</b>
(Head of Metadata Services, Cornell University Libraries) will present “<b>Access,
Fear, and Change: Bringing Catalogers along in the Non-MARC Metadata
Arena</b>.” According to <i>On the Record: Report of The Library of
Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control</i>, the future
of cataloging will be shaped by the way in which we redefine bibliographic
control and the bibliographic universe. Redefining these critical
concepts would require library administrators and catalogers to abandon the
prevailing system of cataloging. For administrators, the use of fear to
instigate change (while ignoring the shortcomings of MARC encoding and the
poorly constructed integrated library system) within technical services has
been a widely implemented yet largely ineffective- hence a paradigm shift away
from fear to use of positive incentives for change is necessary. For the
cataloger, the shift from perfecting the MARC record has taken place in many
institutions however, the sense of accomplishment that could be gained from
creating access and facilitating discovery require a paradigm shift that would
highlight the connection between the cataloger and the end-user. The
purpose of this talk is to discuss methods by which this paradigm shift can be
cultivated within research libraries to begin thinking about a new system of
cataloging which can be less resource intensive and one that focuses on the
user.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The final presentation will be “<b>A California
Adventure: WorldCat Local and Next-Generation Cataloging</b>,”
presented by <b>John Riemer</b> (Head, UCLA Library Catalogin & Metadata
Center) and <b>Linda Barnhart</b> (Head, Metadata Services Department, UCSD
Libraries). WorldCat Local implementation could bring major technological and
sociological changes to cataloging work. The University of California
libraries released their union catalog on the WorldCat Local platform on May
19, 2008. John and Linda will present some of the key lessons learned
from the implementation process as well as their thoughts about how this new
product moves the profession toward next-generation cataloging.<o:p></o:p></p>
