Actually, the intention is to highlight research in library cataloging, so I will propose the title of cataloging research.  But, if others want to amend, it is up to the group.

Hi all...

could we potentially think of 2010 as a year of cataloging/metadata 
research?

there's a fuzzy line as is (i personally of them as one and the same, 
although maybe everyone doesn't). RDA is inclusive of metadata for digital 
resources.

i believe there could be some really beneficial implications too, letting 
the larger world see the importance of cataloging to many activities, 
including those couched more as metadata.

cheers, jane

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.

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.
