Anyone have anything they want LC’s Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control to hear? Humble, little me is a registered attendee for the 2nd meeting which is on “Structures and Standards for Bibliographic Data”.
I can’t nor won’t make any promises, but if you have some thoughts you’d like epxressed I’ll see what I can do. Kathryn and I will begin working on our statement next week.
Several of us are carpooling up to Chicago. It’ll be a long day, but I wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
The background paper can be found here.
Feel free to comment here, use the comment form, or email me directly sometime prior to Wed., May 2nd with your concerns that you’d like expressed to the working Group.
Of course, you are free to submit your own written testimony and I highly encourage you to do so! But if you don’t have the time or energy to do a full-fledged proper submission send me your thoughts and I’ll see what I can do to incorporate them.
I’m goin’ to Chicago, sorry but I can’t take you
Yes I’m goin’ to Chicago, sorry but I can’t take you
lucky!
i should be working on a paper right now, so i can’t write much. but…
something something false distinction between bibliographic objects and information objects limits progress and future potential for role of libraries in an information society. something something blah blah blah. principle danger of having objectives determine ontologies (a la Svenonius) is in the limitations this can place on data created within a system with respect to moving data between systems. something something yeah yeah yeah.
(in response to no.5 in the background paper)
Hi Karen,
Thanks for the comments. If you have some breathing room now, feel free to flesh them out a tad. Kathryn and I are meeting on Monday, or perhaps Tuesday, to discuss our message.
Anyone else?
