[SAC-FAST] FAST Plans

[Lundgren,Jimmie Harrell]

Dear FAST Subcommittee: 

The meeting scheduled for FAST at ALA Annual conflicts with the PreConference on Genre/Form which lasts until 5 PM, Friday, June 24. It may be possible to change the FAST meeting to later that day if the change is submitted very quickly, perhaps 7:30 PM. Would that change work well for you? Do you have other suggestions? My understanding is that the group will meet one last time as a Subcommittee in June.   

I submitted the petition to form an Interest Group to the Cataloging and Classification Section Executive Committee after our meeting Jan. 7 and there was a discussion about revising the charge slightly, using "discuss" rather than "explore" in the first sentence. 

There was also a discussion at the SAC Meeting Jan. 10 about revising the name by deleting the word "subject" or adding the term, "genre/form" to correspond better with the charge which extends beyond subjects to include genre/form terms. That would make the name, "Faceted Access Interest Group" or "Faceted Subject & Genre/Form Access Interest Group." 

Please send comments on the schedule change as well as these name and charge revision ideas. Thanks and have a great day,
Jimmie
