Where are we going?</FONT></SPAN><BR></STRONG>Speaker: <STRONG>Renee Register

<DIV>Cost: <STRONG>Free</STRONG> to Library Staff of Oregon Libraries<BR>Date:
<STRONG>Friday, February 19, 2010</STRONG> <BR><BR>Description: <BR>
<P class=bodytext>Librarians are justly proud of their accomplishments in
organizing the world’s published information through the use of standard subject
headings and the ubiquitous, demanding MARC record. But, with the
explosion of more information stored electronically, are our old standards still
relevant today? Has keyword trumped the subject heading? Librarians
also see their roles changing as more information description and metadata
production are handled by other professionals. Will online tagging
or vendor descriptions diminish the need for librarians? Questions are
rife on what exactly are the thrust of RDA and the new AACR2? </P>
<P class=bodytext><STRONG>Renee Register</STRONG>, Senior Product Manager at
OCLC and <STRONG>Karen Coyle</STRONG>, noted consultant and leader in the area
of digital libraries will review current cataloging practices and discuss the
future of metadata, the MARC record, the Resource Description and Access
standard, and the librarian's place in online information organization and
access. </P>
