Poor guy, he gets to follow Stephen, lunch and will speak about cataloging!
His speech could be titled Cataloging 3.0 - it's all about being more collaborative, fast,
Charge was to present findings at how bibliographic controls could affect access and management. Public hearings March - July 2007. Held at Google, Library of Congress and ALA headquarters. Invited 20 presentations speaking as individuals or on behalf of institutions. Draft report issued in November of 2007. Issued for public comment. Reviewed with LC management and presented to LC staff. Presentation was web cast. Report was revised quite substantially. Final report was presented January 2008.
Audience is LOC, others in the bibliographic sphere, policy and decision makers.
3 Guiding Principles:
- Redefine bibliographic control, embraced it all, not just codex based
- Redefine a bibliographic universe, libraries are but one group of players. We need to interact with commercial and other sectors. LOC needs to rely on us as much or more than we rely on them.
- Redefine the LOC in such a way that the Library can determine when it needs to be the sole provider and when it can delegate bibliographic control.
RDA is the successor to AACR2. It's being developed in isolation and in groups.
One recommendation - be less agnostic about cataloging rules. Strong recommendations about getting some user behavior to learn how to best to bibliographic authority work.
Cataloger group at Netflix wants to share their work with us and we certainly want to take advantage of all this work being done but they need tools to do this.
