This is a great forum for posing questions to and exchanging ideas with members of the cartographic resources cataloging community. All are welcome to attend the meeting. Our meeting is held jointly with the MAGIRT Cataloging & Classification Committee. Please note the 8:00 AM start time: The interest group meeting will begin at 8:00. Following a brief break, the committee's business meeting will begin at approximately 9:00. All are invited to stay for the committee meeting. Currently on our agenda: Continuing discussions from Midwinter and earlier: 1. Best practices for MARC cataloging of geospatial datasets: * Some of us have begun collecting examples of records created by colleagues (see tiny.cc/geocat2<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__tiny.cc_geocat2&d=DwMFAg&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=WkOQgrd4CbSmMZgd_kcpFw&m=YMrR0r4sR2GDTYV4nxHQVomoksT30OyEOQS_PJLAYjQ&s=0yBWHKE-F8TI-_2Sn2KvIk6_aZcLTRdWGibIEfjbWjA&e=> for examples representing the start of our IG's collection at ALA Connect). Do we have updates or additional needs for specific kinds of records? * "I would like MAGIRT to move toward identifying elements that we consider 'core' for describing datasets, regardless of the record format or platform. What is the minimum essential metadata that will allow users to search for and find what they need?" (Submitted by Louise Ratliff, University of California, Los Angeles.) 2. New PCC Policy Regarding Terminal Periods in MARC Bibliographic Records<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.loc.gov_aba_pcc_documents_guidelines-2Dterminal-2Dperiods.pdf&d=DwMFAg&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=WkOQgrd4CbSmMZgd_kcpFw&m=YMrR0r4sR2GDTYV4nxHQVomoksT30OyEOQS_PJLAYjQ&s=wpjYAQ-e9ilLlRkMcOs__62LcdgqUomtDc4MhWfjCv8&e=>: Questions/comments, concerns, etc. Have any of our institutions taken steps to implement or prepare for this? (Submitted by Paige Andrew, Pennsylvania State University) 3. Geographic coordinates in catalog records: decimal degrees vs. degrees-minutes-seconds. Have there been recent changes in practice at your institution? Do we have questions/concerns about which format to use? Would we like additional guidance regarding best practices (and if so, from whom?) New discussions: 1. Are we seeing any trends regarding the hiring and training of map catalogers (both specialists and more generalist catalogers whose responsibilities include maps?) How are people managing needs for training? (Submitted by Paige Andrew, Pennsylvania State University) Notes from the IG discussion session will be posted to various resources including the MAGIRT email list soon after the conference, as well as printed in the next issue of our newsletter, Base line. We look forward to your attendance and the opportunity to share comments, concerns, and resources at the meeting in Washington!
