Forwarding this announcement for a colleague:
The ALCTS Cataloging and Classification Section Subject Analysis
Committee would like to invite you to subscribe to the list
http://lists.ala.org/wws/info/headings
to discuss the future of subject analysis.
The ALCTS Subject Analysis Committee established a new SAC
Subcommittee on the Future of Subject Headings at ALA Annual 2006. Its
charge:
"To analyze the future of subject cataloging, with emphasis on
Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), through the use of SWOT
(Strengths,Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis, taking
into consideration both internal forces within the library community
and the external environment. A preliminary report will be made at
Midwinter 2008 with the final report and program made at Annual 2008."
Your participation in this discussion would be most welcome.
Thank you,
