[Robert Scheier]

Can anyone suggest some resources for cataloging standards for
electronic resources, particularly databases. I am wondering what is the
definitive source for questions like, in the 362, should this data be
the content coverage or the date the database began. Should the record
be vendor neutral, it look like it should not be based on OCLC records
in the system for databases. But, I just want some reassurance based on
a authoritative source. Is this ACCRII/III? Any info to get me started
would be great.

Mostly so far I have looked at the "Cataloging Electronic Resources:
OCLC-MARC Coding Guidelines" and some conser web pages.

Thanks,
Bob

hi everyone -

    at the public library where i work in maryland there are several
community
members working on a collaborative multimedia project -- coordinated by
a
library staff member.

     our library is also thinking of trying some group creative writing
projects
on our wiki.  just curious to hear if others have walked down this
path.
