Good afternoon,
The ALCTS Cataloging and Metadata Management Section's Subject Analysis Committee would like to invite you to join us for a program at ALA Annual 2015 in San Francisco entitled Coming to Terms with the New LC Vocabularies: Genre/Form (Literature, Music, General), Demographic Groups and Medium of Performance. The Library of Congress, ALCTS/SAC and MLA have collaborated on new vocabularies to provide genre/form access to literature, music, and "general" works as well as controlled lists of demographic terms and medium of performance terms; new MARC fields are in place for attributes of works including audience, creator characteristics, and time period of creation. Leading contributors to this work will describe the context, development, and practical application of these new vocabularies and fields. Speakers will include Janis L. Young, Senior Cataloging Policy Specialist in the Library of Congress' Policy and Standards Division (PSD), Adam Schiff, Principal Cataloger at the University of Washington Libraries in Seattle, and Hermine Vermeij, Team Leader of the Subject Specialist Catalogers at UCLA. The program will take place on Monday, June 29th, from 1:00-2:30 pm in the Moscone Convention Center, 2003 (W) Thanks, Christopher Case Content Management Librarian Milton S. Eisenhower Library Johns Hopkins University
