Through conferences, workshops, publications, and e-mail lists, catalogers exchange information and enjoy expert and practical advice on cataloging audiovisual materials. The OLAC Executive Board is issuing a call for a speaker or panel of speakers to present a brief discussion on a current hot topic in the cataloging and metadata communities as it affects audiovisual and nonprint media cataloging. Possible topics might include: Visual resources, Bibframe, RDA, FRBR, library linked data, non-MARC metadata, or other, but with a focus on AV/nonprint formats. The 30-45 minute presentation or discussion would be held during the OLAC Membership Meeting at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, on Sunday, June 30, between 4:00 and 5:30 p.m. The presentation will directly follow the general membership meeting agenda.
