Miller (Library of Congress) Subject: CIP Survey Results at ALA THE FOLLOWING IS BEING CROSS-POSTED TO ACQNET, COLLDV-L, LIBRARY, PACS-L, AUTOCAT, ACRLNY-L, and LIBADMIN: Please note the addition of a location and date, as well as the time change: RESULTS OF THE CATALOGING IN PUBLICATION PROGRAM SURVEY TO BE DISCUSSED AT ALA MIDWINTER Please note the following change in time and the addition of the location for the reporting session on the CIP program survey. The report of the CIP program survey will be held at the American Library Association Midwinter Conference in Denver during the CIP Advisory Group Meeting on Sunday, January 24, from 4:30-6:30 p.m., at the Hotel Denver, Downtown, in the Gold Links Room. Librarian satisfaction with the Cataloging in Publication (CIP) program is generally high, and the more titles included in the program the better. MARC tape recipients want CIP data in advance of a book's publication, and the more in advance the better. Publishers can live with a ten working day turn around time to obtain the CIP data, but the faster the better. These were some of the findings from a survey of uses of CIP data by publishers, libraries, and MARC tape subscribers done by the Library of Congress, confirming the CIP program's central role in the bibliographic control of monographs published in the United States. The survey was designed to assess the program after its first 20 years and to identify possible future directions for CIP. Separate surveys were sent to MARC tape subscribers, libraries of all types, and publishers in late 1991. This major study of the CIP program was funded by the Council on Library Resources, and the surveys were designed by SKP Associates of New York and Myers Consulting Services of Adelphi, Maryland.

Jasper (Emory University) Subject: EPDG MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR LIBRARY COLLECTIONS AND TECHNICAL SERVICES Electronic Publishing Discussion Group 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Sunday, January 24, 1993 Colorado Convention Center A110 PROPRIETARY OBSTACLES ON THE ROAD TO THE ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING ERA: A CONVERSATION WITH ANN OKERSON Dr. Richard Rowe, president of the Faxon Company, coined the term "proprietary obstacles" at last year's ALA Midwinter Meeting in San Antonio as an umbrella covering "several interrelated issues swirling around the basic concept of information as property and as having increased perceived value." Included are such issues as privatization of knowledge, control of copyright, and the potential reluctance of librarians to shift from the ownership paradigm. Please join us as Ann Okerson, director of the Association of Research Libraries' Office of Scientific & Academic Publishing and recognized expert on the emerging electronic information environment, helps identify these obstacles and discuss strategies librarians might employ to become key players in the decision-making processes of the new information industry. Note: This topic was to have been discussed at the ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco but a scheduling problem necessitated postponing it until this time. Our thanks to Ann Okerson for agreeing to the rescheduling. For more information, please contact me at the address in the header of this message.
