---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 On Behalf Of Geisler, Linda The following may be of interest to those attending ALA Annual Orlando: Creating a Model License for the Purchase of Electronic Resources at the Library of Congress / Linda Geisler ALA Annual Orlando Library of Congress Booth, Exhibits Hall June 26, 11:00-11:30 am I'll be giving a short presentation regarding a project at the Library of Congress to create a model license for the acquisitions of electronic resources. The library has always been interested in having a "Model License" for electronic resources to improve the process of acquiring electronic materials. A project group was put together to research and create a draft license for use by acquisitions staff at the library. The presentation discusses the approach taken by the group to develop the license, areas of importance in the license for our work, as well an update on the current status of the license. Plan to attend the presentation to learn more about licensing issues. I hope to see some of you there. Linda S.

Olson Award Officer Reports President?s Report Vice President?s Report Secretary?s Report Treasurer?s Report Outreach/Advocacy Report CAPC report Other Executive Board Activities Website Steering Committee Conference planning update Presentation Cataloging Videorecordings Defensively Jay Weitz, OCLC ?Cataloging Videorecordings Defensively? is not a cataloging workshop, per se, but has been designed to give some background to how OCLC?s Duplicate Detection and Resolution (DDR) software deals with bibliographic records, both generally and for videorecordings. It should help catalogers use MARC 21 and the instructions in both RDA and AACR2 to the best advantage in making sure that DDR performs appropriately when encountering a bibliographic record for a videorecording that is legitimately unique according to the descriptive conventions.
