Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Eastern: 10am 6pm
This e-forum will focus on creating MARC records for e-books using
standards such as AACR2, Provider-Neutral Guidelines, and RDA, as well
as issues related to managing those records. Topics may include the
appropriate application of standards, specific MARC fields, batch
processing and workflow, hybrid and merged records, macros, and
customization. We intend for this to be a productive dialog involving
libraries and consortia, authors of standards, and vendors in order to
understand how each approaches the characteristics of e-books and
resolves cataloging issues they may generate.
Amy Bailey is a Catalog Librarian at ProQuest. The cataloging department
creates full, I-level MARC records for a variety of microform and
digital products including e-books. Prior to joining ProQuest, Amy
worked in cataloging, institutional repository metadata, interlibrary
loan, and circulation at academic and public libraries.
Becky Culbertson is Electronic Resources Cataloging Librarian for the
California Digital Library housed at the University of California, San
Diego. She gathers, catalogs, fixes, replaces, and distributes online
serial, monographic, and integrating resource records for the ten
University of California campuses. She was a co-editor of the task group
that developed the PCC Provider-Neutral Guidelines (both AACR2 and now
RDA) and currently is the chair of the PCC Standing Committee on
Standards. Her main interest and professional goal is in promoting
cataloging standards of all kinds. She attended library school at the
University of Michigan and has previously worked as a cataloger at the
University of Michigan and the University of Georgia.
*What is an e-forum?*
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to
participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:

*To register:*
Instructions for registration are available at:
http://bit.ly/eforuminfo. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you
do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email
list. Participation is free and open to anyone.
