Dear Colleagues,
Please join us for the 2014 ALA Midwinter meeting of the:
ALCTS CaMMS/MAGIRT Cartographic Resources Cataloging
Interest Group
When: Sunday, January 26, 2014, 8:30 am to 10:00
am (EST)
Location: Pennsylvania Convention Center, Room
104A, Philadelphia
Discussion topics will include:
-Applying the WEMI model to cartographic materials and
how this is reflected in catalog records
(e.g. treatment of editions and when it’s appropriate to
have ”preferred title” in a map record)
-Linked open data, especially how it might relate to
geographic name authority records
-Use of geographic coordinates in authority records
-Search interfaces and the use and role of geographic
coordinates in catalog records for spatial search
Please feel free to bring other cartographic resources
cataloging topics of interest and we will try to cover them
as time permits. As usual, notes from the session will be
shared widely after the meeting.
The Cartographic Resources Cataloging Interest Group
meeting is an open discussion session for addressing topics
of interest to the cartographic and geospatial resources
cataloging community. All Conference attendees are welcome
to join and participate.
I hope to see many of you in Philadelphia!
Best,
Marc
Coordinator, ALCTS CaMMS/MAGIRT Cartographic Resources
Cataloging Interest Group
