The program is scheduled for Saturday, January 21 from 1:00-2:30 p.m. The Theme is: Librarians as a Developer Community: Projects that Can and Should be Replicated With the development and implementation of RDA, BIBFRAME, linked data, etc., libraries are increasingly being asked to adapt and innovate. At the same time there is rarely adequate funding or staffing available to devote to such projects. We are seeking presentations on projects that succeeded in implementing a new or enhanced service, or developed a forward-thinking approach to improving or customizing discovery and access within your discovery platform or catalog. These projects should have been accomplished without requesting additional funds (or perhaps allocating minimal funds) and that can be replicated by a peer institution that does not have the resources to develop it, but could apply it. We encourage projects that used talent culled from your wider community, but ask that your presentations are kept ILS platform agnostic. While the project can include developing an "add on" by writing code or using APIs, we are open to any innovative project that enhances cataloging services. No project should be considered too small or too large for submission. Each presenter will be given approximately 20 minutes. Additional time will be allowed for questions and discussion. The charge of the Catalog Management IG is: To discuss the various issues involved with cataloging, classification, authority control, and metadata application after the initial cataloging has been performed, including its impact on discovery. The group will provide a forum for exchanging information and discussing techniques, new developments, and problems in managing the data integrity of library catalogs and related discovery tools. Please email proposal titles, abstracts, name(s) and affiliation(s) of presenter(s) to co-chairs by Friday, November 18, 2016. If you have questions, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you. Co-chairs of CMIG Kimberley A.
