CC:DA TASK FORCE SURVEY ANNOUNCEMENT
Posted to multiple lists


We invite your participation in an electronic Web-based survey directed
at library staff involved with the creation of bibliographic records for
electronic resources.  The survey form is now up on the ALA/ALCTS/CC:DA
Web site. It takes 15-20 minutes to complete.

 This survey focuses on specific elements in Areas 3 and 5 of Chapter 9
of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (file size, extent, sound,
color).  It is being conducted under the auspices of the Task Force on
Specific Characteristics of Electronic Resources of the Committee on
Cataloging: Description and Access (CC:DA), Association for Library
Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS), American Library Association
(ALA).

There are two goals: (a) to determine attitudes and opinions of members
of the library cataloging community who work with electronic resources
regarding the bibliographic description in Areas 3 and 5 and (b) to
learn from the survey results what relevant changes in Chapter 9, if
any, might be recommended.

Friday, November 3 is the deadline for completing the survey form.
Responses will remain confidential to the CC:DA Task Force members.

The survey is presented as a Web form. Follow the URL given below and on
the Web site click on "Survey Form." Please completely fill in the
responses to all of the questions. At the end of the form is a button
for submitting the form to the Task Force. URL is:
