[Web4lib] Announcing LITA Next Generation Catalog Interest Group

[Thomas Dowling]

Announcing a new LITA Interest Group and mailing list: the Next
Generation Catalog Interest Group (NGCIG).  This interest group was
established as an outgrowth of an informal meeting held at ALA
Midwinter in Seattle.

NGCIG gives LITA a discussion space devoted to developments in the
library catalog, its nature and scope, and its interfaces.  It
provides a forum for presentations and sharing of innovation in
catalogs and discussion of future directions.  Collaborations with
other LITA interest groups, such as in the areas of emerging
technologies and open source software, will provide opportunities for
programming.

NGCIG is open to all LITA members - the mailing list is open to
anybody (but we envision the list will primarily be used for IG
business - the NGC4Lib list is already available for broader
discussions of catalog design).  To subscribe to the mailing list, go
to <http://lists.ala.org/wws/info/lita-ngc>.
