The ALCTS Catalog Form & Function Interest Group is looking for presenters
for its session at ALA Midwinter, to be held from 10:30 to 12:00 on
Saturday, January 16th. CFFIG, is interested in exploring the relationship
between the catalog and external tools that feed off of the catalog. Our
topic will be "Recent Trends in Catalog Architecture," and we are currently
looking for presenters for this session. Presentations should be
approximately 15 minutes in length with 10 minutes for follow-up questions.
Discussion will focus on the support for multiple service layers such as:
Summon, Ebscohost Integrated Search, World Cat Local, Endeca, Encore,
AquaBrowser, and the local catalog. Suggestions for approaches to the
presentations might include:
* Workflow: data creation, harvesting, transformation
* Synchronization: post-creation record maintenance & synchronization
between data stores
* Economics: cost to benefit ratio - Can we afford to support multiple
service layers?
The level of discussion will be determined by the level of
interest/involvement of you, the presenter! So please indicate your interest
in presenting to Richard Guajardo, Chair, CFFIG (guajardo_at_uh.edu) by
December 9th.
