LCSH volumes

"Since I retired I have no need of these volumes of Library of Congress Subject Headings, aka LCSH, aka The Red Books. Free to a good home along with a handful of other cataloguing and professional library books and yes, your eyes do not deceive you, that is my beloved copy of AACR2. These look very impressive on the shelf and are useful to boot. Maree Pavletich"

ALCTS webinar: E-Books via the Cataloging in Publication Program Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time. Description: The Cataloging in Publication (CIP) Program is now accepting e-books from major U.S. publishers to help build the Library of Congress’ collections. This is a major step forward in management of e-book collections at the Library of Congress as the process for ingesting CIP e-books will be used as a model for acquiring e-books from other acquisitions sources. The presentation will discuss all elements of the CIP E-Books Program, including the application process, publisher participation, e-book metadata creation, and ingestion of the e-books into the Library’s Content Transfer System to add to the Library’s collections. Learning outcomes: Attendees will become more knowledgeable about e-book metadata and ingestion workflows in a large library setting and how to identify high-quality pre-publication e-book metadata in bibliographic utilities. Who should attend? Metadata librarians and e-resources librarians of all types of libraries. Presenters: Caroline Saccucci is the Dewey Program Manager in the U.S., Programs, Law and Literature Division. She is also currently the Acting CIP Program Manager and was formerly a CIP program specialist. She is an active member of the American Library Association and serves as Chair of the ALC Public Libraries Technical Services Interest Group and Dewey Section Liaison to the ALCTS Cataloging and Metadata Management Section Subject Analysis Committee. Camilla Williams is a Program Specialist in the Cataloging in Publication Program. Her responsibilities include responding to inquiries from publishers and cataloging staff, recruiting and training new libraries and institutions to the ECIP Cataloging Partnership Program, and participating in new automated and metadata initiatives. She is the primary contact for the CIP E-Books Program, and regularly gives presentations about the Program to the CIP Advisory Group and at the Library of Congress Exhibit at ALA. ***************** Registration Fees: ALCTS Member $43 ; Non-member $59 ; Group rate (members/non-members) $99/$129 ; International $43 For additional information and access to registration links, please go to the following website: http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/102115 ALCTS webinars are recorded and registrants receive a link to the recording shortly following the live event.

ALCTS webinar: The New CIP Data Block: How To Use It For Cataloging
by Joanne Rowan 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

*Apologies in advance for multiple postings.* ALCTS webinar: The New CIP Data Block: How To Use It For Cataloging Date: Wednesday, October 14, 2015 All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time. Description: In July 2015 the Library of Congress will implement a new layout to the Cataloging in Publication Data Block which appears on the verso of the title page of print books and on the Copyright page of electronic books. The new layout is the result of an analysis of survey results done in 2014 that asked institutions what should be kept, added, or removed from the CIP Data Block to meet the needs of the twenty-first century bibliographic environment. There are numerous changes to the layout including the use of labels to clearly identify the different components within the block, addition of RDA and electronic data elements, and a URL that links directly to the LC catalog for easy download of bibliographic records. This webinar will introduce attendees to the new CIP Data Block, including instruction on how to interpret the elements of the Data Block for cataloging purposes. Learning outcomes: Attendees will become familiar with the CIP Data Block, be informed of its data elements, and learn how to use it to create catalog records. Who should attend? Catalogers in smaller libraries, particularly school, public, small college/community college, small special, and other libraries where the CIP Data Block is still referred to for creation of bibliographic records. Presenters: Karl Debus-Lopez is the Chief of the U.S. Programs, Law, and Literature Division at the Library of Congress. Caroline Saccucci is the Dewey Program Manager and Acting Program Manager of the Cataloging in Publication Program. ***************** Registration Fees: ALCTS Member $43 ; Non-member $59 ; Group rate (members/non-members) $99/$129 ; International $43 For additional information and access to registration links, please go to the following website: http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/101415 ALCTS webinars are recorded and registrants receive a link to the recording shortly following the live event.

Information Management and Services qualification review update
by Amanda Cossham 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

[apologies for cross-posting] Information Management and Services qualifications (including library, archives, records and heritage information) have been reviewed as part of the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) Mandatory Review of Qualifications at levels 1-6 (i.e., up to but not including bachelors' degrees at level 7). The aim of this NZQA review is to reduce duplication of qualifications and ensure the system is easy to understand, and also to ensure the qualifications meet the needs of the relevant sector. Phase 1 of the review was completed in 2014 following extensive stakeholder consultation, and five qualifications were approved by NZQA for development. Phase 2 development has been done by the IMS Governance Group (https://imsqualreview.wordpress.com/governance-group/) and their three working groups, in consultation with industry. The five qualifications are now available in final draft form. Major stakeholders including professional associations, major employers, education providers and interest groups have been asked to provide feedback on these drafts. Following this consultation, the qualifications will be submitted to NZQA before the end of the year, for listing on the NZ Qualifications framework as national qualifications. The qualifications can be seen here: https://imsqualreview.wordpress.com/phase-2-final-qualifications/. Please contact me if you have any questions.
