ALCTS Catalog Form & Function Interest Group
ALA Annual, Chicago, Ill.
11 July 2009, 10:30-12:00 AM
Hilton Continental C
---------------------------
The ALCTS Catalog Form & Function IG will be meeting in its usual
high-impact, high-conflict time slot at ALA Annual this year, this time
at the Chicago Hilton, the main conference hotel. Our topic this summer
will be *Accentuating the "e-"*, and we are currently looking for
presenters for that session. Presentations should be approximately 15
minutes in length with 10 minutes for follow-up questions.
*Accentuating the "e-"*: Libraries are increasingly looking for ways to
draw attention to their growing local and consortial investments in
e-resources by flagging these titles in the catalog, adding URLs to
print and e-versions, adding search filters or facets for "Online",
"Internet", "e-book", and "e-journal" offerings, creating external
lists, RSS feeds, and so on. We will look at some of these methods and
see if they are really serving the need they were intended to serve.
A separate call will be made within CFFIG, seeking nominations for the
office of Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect. At the conclusion of Annual, the role
of Chair is to pass to Richard R. Guajardo of the University of
Houston. Congratulations Richard!
Charley Pennell
Chair, CFFIG
