[Web4lib] LITA Next Generation Catalog Interest Group - Meeting atALA Annual

[Robert L. Balliot]

Greetings,

I have seen lots of great programs like the one below
advertised for ALA Washington. My time commitments do
not allow me to attend this year, but it would be great
to be able to participate virtually through other means.

I know that the ALA Washington Office has a presence
in SecondLife.  So, if we have already put resources
into that medium, would it be possible to try to broadcast
at least a few of the meetings devoted to high level
technology?  I am sure that there are many other 
ALA members who would like to see at least a tiny
percentage of our dues go towards real-time networked 
information delivery of the proceedings.

LITA Next Generation Catalog Interest Group - Meeting at ALA Annual

The LITA Next Generation Catalog Interest Group (NGCIG) will hold its
inaugural meeting at the ALA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, on
Saturday, June 23, from 1:30 to 3:30 in the Madison Hotel Montpelier
Salon I.  We will have a managed discussion featuring presentations
on three libraries' approaches to next generation catalogs:

  Don Barlow, Westerville Public Library, will discuss their work
  with Innovative's Encore product

  Dale Poulter, Vanderbilt University, will discuss their work with
  Ex Libris' Primo

  Steve Shadle, University of Washington, will discuss their
  implementation of OCLC's WorldCat Local


LITA IG meetings are open to all ALA attendees (and for non-attendees,
we already have a couple of bloggers lined up).  Since this is a
discussion and not a formal program, we're relying on you to show up
with questions and input.
