Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce a new CCO website. http://www.vraweb.org/ccoweb/cco/index.html
The first thing you will notice is that the "CCO February 2005 draft" is no longer posted. The Feb 2005 pdfs are out of date and superceded by the CCO print publication, now available from ALA. http://www.ala.org/ala/productspublications/Products_and_Publications.htm The CCO website will soon include selections from the print edition in the "CCO selections" area of the new website. The text is being marked-up now and will be posted within the next two months. Another new area of content that will be available sometime over the next two months is the "Cataloging Examples" section, categorized by work type (e.g, Architecture, Photographs/Film, Decorative Arts and Utilitarian Objects, etc.). These examples are full CCO cataloging records for your "enjoyment." They are available on the web site as an enhancement to the print publication. Once we get the initial set of examples posted we hope to add examples from the community. The "News and Events" section lists CCO training opportunities in the near future. As we move forward with the new VRA CCO committee we will be adding more content. We'll post announcements on the listservs when important new content -- such as the "CCO selections" and the "Cataloging Examples" -- is added. We'd like to thank Diane Zorich (CCO Project Manager), Murtha Baca, Linda McRae, and Patricia Harpring (the other CCO editors), and Kalika Yap of Citrus Studios, who designed the attractive site.
