>>
>> Registration for the OLAC-MOUG 2008 Conference is open at 
>> http://www.notsl.org/olac-moug/home.htm
>>
>>  
>>
>> The joint conference of OLAC (Online Audiovisual Catalogers) and MOUG 
>> (Music OCLC Users Group) will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, between 
>> Friday, September 26 and Sunday, September 28, 2008.  Attendees will 
>> enjoy their choice of four workshops about cataloging various 
>> non-book materials, a Question and Answer period with a panel of 
>> experts, and a session about the new cataloging rules called RDA 
>> (Resource Description and Access) which will take effect within the 
>> next few years.
>>
>>  
>>
>> On a personal note, as a former public library cataloger, I believe 
>> the conference offerings to be highly beneficial to copy catalogers 
>> as well as original catalogers.  Determining which bibliographic 
>> record matches your video recording, sound recording, or CD-ROM is 
>> regularly more complex than doing the same for books.  This 
>> conference offers the opportunity to gain non-book cataloging 
>> training in multiple formats within a short period of time, by 
>> experts conveniently gathered in one location.  As icing on the cake, 
>> OLC members (Ohio Library Council) will earn 15 
>> certification/recertification credits for the full conference.
>>
>>  
>>
>> A roommate matching service is provided to minimize the cost.
>>
>>  
>>
>> Please see the conference website for more information and the 
>> registration form http://www.notsl.org/olac-moug/home.htm

>>
>> Feel free to get in touch or have your director contact me for more 
>> information.

"There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, 
nor wealth receives the slightest consideration."  Andrew Carnegie (1835 - 1919)
