The Cataloging Norms Interest Group (CNIG) of Core seeks facilitators for
virtual roundtable discussions for its session on Friday, June 25, 2021 from
10am-11am Central time / 11am-Noon Eastern at the 2021 Virtual ALA Annual
Conference
Housed within the Core division of ALA, the Cataloging Norms Interest Group
(CNIG) offers a forum for the exploration, communication, and exchange of
ideas on the dynamics and evolution of cataloging/metadata norms and
workflows. We encourage and seek out participation from anyone with an
interest in cataloging – from public, academic, school or special libraries –
regardless of experience level or training.
Roundtable discussions are small, informal group discussions intended to give
participants the opportunity to network, discuss best practices, and share
information. Discussion facilitators are responsible for identifying and
developing a topic, creating discussion questions, and facilitating a
discussion. Discussion facilitators will also provide a quick report back to
the group at large toward the end of the session. If similar proposals are
submitted and accepted, facilitators may be asked to co-facilitate.
Those interested in participating as a discussion facilitator should submit a
proposal that includes:
The topic you wish to explore. Topics should relate to cataloging and/or
metadata and its related aspects in academic, public, special, or school
libraries. We particularly encourage and seek out diverse voices.
An abstract that explains the topic
Three sample discussion questions.
Interested participants should try to attend a 1-hour practice session to be
scheduled sometime before the conference. Exact date and time to be
determined.
Please submit your proposal to Susan Martin (susan.martin_at_mtsu.edu) and Alex
Whelan (aw3195_at_columbia.edu) CNIG co-chairs by May 7, 2021.
