Library Cataloging
TLA Talk
I'll be on a panel at the Texas Library Association annual conference (see the calendar on the lower right). The panel will be discussing
"Who's Going to Catalog This Stuff" (Event #387) which will focus on the priorities we must consider for continuing to recruit qualified catalogers for the 21st century, ask how can cataloger education and training change to meet new needs and demands and how can we ensure that the cataloging profession continues to grow and adapt to the evolving information environment?
I'd be happy to hear any suggestions for issues to cover in that event.
