[Sigcr-l] SIG-CR: New chair and chair elect

[Miksa, Shawne]

I'm 100% behind Allyson and her suggestion for 2010 being the year of cataloging research.  Count me in for helping with that.  I just finished up a short piece-- to appear in the next ASIST Bulletin--addressing Resource Description and Access (RDA) and new research potentials coming out of its implementation and use.

Hello Diane and Megan and all,
I am very interested in helping with the Classification Research Workshop next year.  I am working on an ALA Task Force (with a complicated charge, which I will spare everyone) that is working to increase awareness and support for research in library cataloging.  We are planning on declaring 2010 the year of cataloging research, and so I would like to propose that this be the theme of the workshop for 2010.  I know this needs support of the group, but I thought I would put it out there early, to let people think about it.
Allyson
