Subject: ALA/ALCTS Discussion Group Meeting Announcement

The ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical Services Discussion Group will
meet 
at ALA in Orlando.

WHEN:   Sunday afternoon, June 27th, 4:30-5:30 p.m.
WHERE:  Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes Resort, Sienna I/II

This meeting consists of round table discussions with eight to ten
people 
participating at each table.  We will need volunteers to serve as 
facilitators and/or recorders at each discussion table.

Facilitators introduce the topic, ask persons to introduce themselves,
keep 
track of the meeting time, and most importantly, keep the discussion
moving 
and ensure that everyone has a chance to participate.  Each table will
have 
some suggested talking points or questions that facilitators can use to
get 
the discussion started, and anyone may add their own questions as well.

Recorders participate in the discussion and take notes which will be 
forwarded to the co-chairs.  These notes will be used to prepare a
report 
which will be posted on the ALCTS web site.  Facilitators and recorders
will 
receive acknowledgement in the report.

TOPICS:

Encoding standards for acquisitions data
Merging catalog and acquisitions departments
Division of responsibilities between professional and paraprofessional 
catalogers
Methods of quality control in cataloging
Continuing education for technical services staff
Electronic resources cataloging in the age of integrating resources
Changes in roles and responsibilities within technical services
Non-roman scripts in the catalog: current conditions and UNICODE

If you would like to serve as a facilitator or recorder for one of these

topics, please let us know.  Do not reply to the listservs; reply to
Susan 
Pinckard at shpinck_at_emory.edu or Michael Babinec at
m-babinec_at_northwestern.edu.

Come join us in Orlando.
