CE G: Cataloging 411 – Preconference CE Workshop

This is a basic introduction to cataloging, covering four elements: content (AACR2), communication (MARC), classification (subject headings, call numbers), and presentation (the catalog). The workshop will be a mix of presentations and hands-on exercises, with a focus on monographic cataloging. Participants will learn to be more comfortable in the cataloging environment. Those who are not catalogers will learn how their catalogs work and why the catalog works the way it doe. This program is appropriate for anyone looking to refresh or acquire basic cataloging skills.

Welcome to NYLA 2006 Annual Conference in Saratoga Spring, NY!

I hope everyone had a safe journey getting here. My name is Ken Fujiuchi, the Emerging Technology Librarian at the E. H. Butler Library at Buffalo State College. I am also a member of the NYLA SMART Section, and I will be your conference blogger for the duration of this conference. Here is some general information about this years conference.

Adding Value: Formula for the Future

This theme represents so much about librarians and libraries. We are passionate about our profession, our services,and our future in society. What exactly does the future hold for libraries? What is that “formula” that will make us vital for years to come? This year’s conference will help you discover what that formula may be for you and your library, leaving you recharged and ready to move forward.

NYLA’s sections, roundtables, committees, and affiliates have worked diligently to organize and present a wide range of experiences. From highly specialized presentations, to programs that will appeal to everyone, there is no shortage of quality information.
