Library Cataloging
This October there will be a Web based conference, Learning Times Library Online Conference 2003. Steve Cohen, of Library Stuff, is a keynote presenter. A rather unique method of having a conference.Tomorrow, June 5, is the on-line Web conference, Chief Considerations in Choosing an ILS. A much smaller event. One speaker on one topic.Recently I attended a meeting of the Cataloging Focus Group of the Texas Library Connection using closed circuit TV (I think). It worked well. We were able to meet, which would not have happened otherwise. It saved considerable time. I just drove across town, rather than flying to Dallas or San Antonio. However, it did not provide for dining together and the serendipity that occurs in that setting. The free exchange of ideas outside the meeting proper is something I missed. There is a place for browsing the stacks as well as using the catalog. With budget problems everywhere, on-line meetings allow for some important meetings to occur, but at a price. I expect the same from the conference tomorrow. It is not something I'd have flown to Denver to attend, so it is nice to have it available on-line, but I don't expect it to be as rich an experience as meeting in person.
