[Sigcr-l] Proposals for SIG/CR panels for next year's conference

[Barbara Kwasnik]

Hi Kathryn. Thanks for the ideas.

Could you draw up a first draft short paragraph on what you just wrote.
This wouldn't commit you to running the session or anything, but  was
wondering what you were thinking of specifically in terms of the ALA
summit connection.

As for FRBR, I've just started to look at it in depth and find it
conceptually intriguing. I haven't thought much about it's connection to
classification, but then of course, any interesting problem is at heart
a classification problem. Your thought? Barbara

Greetings!

At the recent SIG-HFIS planning meeting, the general consensus was that
the
joint CR-HFIS panels were quite successful and well received. We would
like
to see continued cooperation between the two SIGS. At the SIG cabinet
meeting, SI (social informatics) proposed a panel on the library of
the
future - which seems to me to be a grand possibility for multiple
collaboration given the current discussion of next generation
catalogs,
FRBR, RDA and the changes afoot at the Library of Congress.

HFIS interest is quite keen in another reprise of the FRBR panel, as
is
interest in full engagement in the current debates that were set off by
the
recent changes at Library of Congress, the planned bibliographic summit
at
ALA this summer and the possibilities currently being discussed of
several
pre-summit gatherings in the coming months, that are being planned in
order
to formulate responses to these changes and their broader implications
within the LIS community.

I would very much like to see CR and HFIS play a significant role in
the
discussions at these upcoming gatherings. In the context of panels for
the
upcoming annual meeting of ASIST, we might also want to consider
planning a
panel or two in order to address these developments. The January
deadline
comes long before any of the planned meetings, but I think we could
draft a
abstract or two that would be sufficiently general to allow the
incorporation of the developments that occur post-January to engage
the
interest of ASIST.

Best,

Kathryn
