Re: [CODE4LIB] Cataloging4Coders @ C4L12 - We need your brains
It could be very helpful to have a short history of MARC. AIUI, MARC's purpose was to make automate the printing of catalog cards. Searching, OPACs, etc, were bolted on later. Maybe having an understanding of why MARC looks like it does will help coders feel less frustrated with some of its weird quirks - like Uniform Title. I've found programmers to be fascinated by MARC once they begin to understand why it is structured the way it is and (most importantly) understand why it's not going to metamorphose either quickly or soon into a form they might see as more logical or useful. :-) -- Tania Fersenheim Manager of Library Systems Brandeis University Library and Technology Services 415 South Street, (MS 017/P.O.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2011 Proposals
The Statler is a nice facility and could probably accomodate the number of attendees, but I suspect that even with a negotiated conference rate it will be fairly expensive. And, while campus is beautiful, it's a bit out of the thick of things night-life wise, unless we're all willing to channel our inner college student and hit the Palms and Chapter House. ;-) I would prefer the Hilton Garden Inn downtown. As you point out, the downtown location is ideal for restaurants, pubs, etc, and absolutely perfect for hopping on public transportation. It's fairly new, they do conferences/meetings regularly, though I don't know what size groups they usually work with. The Holiday Inn is, IMO, completely out of the question. They try hard but never seem to hit the mark when it comes to facilities and services. HTH!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2011 Proposals
Born & raised in Ithaca, went to college there (Go Big Red!) and I love it there. BUT I have to agree that February in Ithaca can be dreary. They have a decent restaurant and pub scene but one of the key attractions for Ithaca is the outdoor activities. Though we could do a wine tour! And visit Wegmans. And eat good bagels. And half moon cookies. And drink Ithaca beers. I've changed my mind - I'm all over Ithaca for C4L11. I have some very strong opinions on venue though. :-) Tania -- Tania Fersenheim Manager of Library Systems Brandeis University Library and Technology Services 415 South Street, (MS 017/P.O.
