Posted to multiple lists; apologies if you see this more than once.  The following is directed to those readers planning to attend the American Library Association Annual Conference in Washington, DC.  For those who might be wondering, CCS stands for Cataloging and
Classification Section, and SAC stands for Subject Analysis Committee.  Oh yes, and SLIS stands for School of Library and Information Science, which may or may not be the actual name of that particular organization.  (Next time I promise to check the authority file first.)
