Dear CLA members,
I'm delighted to let you know that registration for CLA?s 117th annual
conference is now open!
Please join me November 5-8, 2015 in beautiful Pasadena, CA. The theme for
this year?s conference is Reimagine / Reinvent, and in addition to over 125
great programs and preconferences, inspiring speakers, awards honoring the
best in our profession, great library vendors, and some just plain fun
social events (can you say Battledecks and Librarians Got Talent?), for the
first time in library conference history we are going to have a Night Track.
Yes, CLA is going ?After Dark? on Friday November 7th!
For those who want the traditional library conference experience, there will
be a full slate of programs from 8:30am through 5:00pm. AND for those among
us who thrive at night (or just can?t get enough library conference), we
will start up again at 7:00pm with a kickoff program featuring library
visionary, Ben Bizzle, and more (unique) programs until late into the
evening.
If all of this wasn?t enough, Sunday the 8th is Sunday FUNday. Say that
without breaking into a smile! This is a great opportunity to network with
your old (and new) library friends and do some things very uniquely Southern
California-ish.
Oh, and did I mention the Midnight Cat Video Film Festival? Nevermind, come
to the 2015 California Library Association Conference and experience this
(and everything else ?Reimagine / Reinvent? has to offer) for yourself. And
in the meantime, I will reserve a seat at the cat video film festival and
breakfast burrito bar just for you...

Proudly presented by CLA Technical Services Interest Group. Join us for this
fabulous workshop at CLA 2015 conference!
Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the new cataloging standard
designed to replace AACR2. This Basic Serials Cataloging Workshop, part of
the Serials Cataloging Cooperative Training Program, will offer an
introduction to cataloging serials with RDA. It will cover RDA and CONSER
standards, RDA core elements and terminology, transcribed versus recorded
elements, new or revised areas of information, and creation of new records
and serial maintenance. Attendees will participate in hands-on exercises
which will include use of tools and documentation in support of cataloging
with RDA. Access to the PowerPoint presentation will be given to
participants ahead of the workshop via email. Ticketed event.
Presenters:
Valerie Bross has performed CONSER cataloging at UCLA as a member of the
ERM/Continuing Resources Cataloging Team of the UCLA Cataloging & Metadata
Center since 1998. Beginning in 2003, she has served as a trainer in the
Serials Cataloging Cooperative Training Program (SCCTP); and she
participated in the most recent revision of the Basic Serials Cataloging
Workshop.
Becky Culbertson, electronic resources cataloging librarian at the
University of California San Diego, is part of the California Digital
Library?s Shared Cataloging Program and a recipient of the 2015 Ulrich?s
Serials Librarianship Award. She has been an active contributor to CONSER
and Program of Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) task groups and has chaired the
PCC Standing Committee on Standards since 2009. Through her work with the
PCC, Becky has contributed to the development of such widely used standards
as the PCC BIBCO Standard, PCC CONSER Standard, PCC Provider-Neutral
Standard, LC-PCC Policy Statements and PCC Vendor Records Guidelines.
She played a key role in updating these and other standards to accommodate
the new cataloging code, Resource Description and Access (RDA).
