Subject: Position Announcement
The ALCTS Pre-Order and Pre-Search Catalog Discussion Group is pleased
to invite all interested individuals to its ALA Annual meeting in New
Orleans on Monday, June 26, 2006, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Morial
Convention Center, Room 335. The discussion topic for our meeting is
media searching (audio and video).
The increasing demand in research libraries for audio and video
materials has created new challenges for acquisitions staff in search
of these types of materials. The discussion will address how
librarians might more effectively find records to assist in ordering
audio/visual materials, the types of vendor services offered to assist
libraries with this need, challenges libraries face in ordering and
cataloging media materials and their various media and language
formats.
Our discussion will be led by several individuals that will offer their
varied perspective and approach to these issues:
Christine Godin, Director of Learning Resources, Northwest Vista College
David Hargrave, Western Regional Director, Baker and Taylor
Mary S. Konkel, Head of Technical Services, College of DuPage
Randy Pitman, Publisher and Editor of Video Librarian
We anticipate a lively and interesting discussion and hope to see you
there.
