Aloha Allyson!

When I see the term "Library cataloging" I feel excluded (I consider
myself a system designer, with limited knowldge on library cataloging :);
when I read the term "metadata" it matches the most important part of my
work

I would go for something broader than library cataloging; I teach in three
programs: MLIS, ICS (Information and Computer Science, undergraduate and
graduate) and CIS (Communication and Information Science, doctoral
program); topics covered in my teaching include digital libraries, IT in
libraries, web 2.0 based services, information retrieval, personalization
/ filtering, information architecture, relational database systems, user
modeling / profiling). In my readings for all those classes, the term that
bridges those courses is metadata and ontological research. They include
research on goals (e.g. interoperability, integration of services), the
schemes themselves (e.g. types, purposes), implementation (languages,
frameworks, technologies), applications (e.g. domains, services) and use
(e.g. evaluations).

Anyway, as you say, it is up to the group to decide what to highlight for
2010; glad to be part of SIG CR!

Luz

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.
