SAVE THIS DATE FOR THE FOLLOWING ALCTS (CCS-CC:DA) PROGRAM AT ALA ANNUAL: Title: Cataloging Cultural Objects: Toward a Metadata Content Standard for Libraries, Archives and Museums
Date: Saturday, June 25, 2005 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Location: McCormick Place, Room S405 (Chicago, Illinois) Abstract: An introduction to Cataloguing Cultural Objects, A Guide to Describing Cultural Works and Their Images. CCO is an emerging metadata content standard for a broad range of cultural materials that addresses the needs of libraries, archives and museums. CCO is based on the Categories for Description of Works of Arts (CDWA) and the Visual Resource Association VRA core. Speakers and abstracts: Elisa Lanzi, Past President, Visual Resources Association and Director of Image Collections, Smith College Dept. of Art, Northampton, Massachusetts Where did CCO come from? What is it? Why is it needed? Lanzi explains the methodology, influencing factors, and community involvement in building CCO as a collaborative standard. Lanzi also reports on plans for the future of CCO which include an ALA print publication and a "CCO Cataloger" Web site. Ann Whiteside, Vice President, ARLIS/NA and Director, Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia Whiteside gives an editor's overview of CCO showing, in some detail, just how CCO is laid out and what it covers. A virtual walk-through will be given to provide images and examples from the CCO manual. Maria Oldal, Head of Cataloging & Database Management, The Pierpont Morgan Library CCO is a promising alternative to AACR for the cataloging of art and cultural objects in libraries. Oldal applies CCO within the framework of MARC, discusses MARC coding of CCO records, and analyzes MARC records created according to CCO guidelines. Jonathan Furner, Assistant Editor, Dewey Decimal Classification, OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc.; prior to April 2005, Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles Furner focuses on the CCO rules for identifying, describing, and recording the subjects of works and images. He reviews the challenges faced by providers of subject access to cultural objects, evaluates the responses in the library, archives, and museum fields, and previews the opportunities promised by CCO.
