FASCINATING FACETS
Faceted Subject Access Interest Group, ALCTS Cataloging & Metadata
Management Section Meeting

Date:   Saturday, June 23, 2012
Time:   4:00-5:30 PM
Location:   Hyatt, Imperial Room

Subject Facets are key aspects of next generation catalogs and discovery
tools. Where do these limiting terms come from and how do they work? How
many subjects facets can be displayed? How many records from a large
retrieval set are subject to faceting? The answers may change depending
on the system and on search options used. Please join in an open
discussion featuring representatives of Encore, Summon and WorldCat as
we take a closer look at subject facets in these systems.

Please join us at "Fascinating Facets" as we consider these and related
questions. Bring along your questions and observations and be prepared
to share them with the group.

We will also elect a new Vice Chair for FSAIG, so please consider
nominating yourself or someone else.
Hoping to see you there,
Jimmie
