Re: [CODE4LIB] marc documentation?
I've found this useful at times: http://www.itsmarc.com/crs/bib1468.htm It's apparently not maintained, but lists more fields as "obsolete" than the "selected" ones on the LC list - probably best to use both together. --Andy On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 12:23 PM, Jonathan Rochkind wrote: > Aha!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Kingston? And now the date (was Re: [CODE4LIB] Location of the first Code4Lib North meeting?)
Well, the 6'th is bad for me because I have a meeting that I might not be able to get out of that is scheduled to end at 5:00 PM. However, I could still show up for drinks about 9:00 PM on the 6th, and make the 7'th. I might miss out on the beginning but as long as Friday is a full day (vs. ending at lunch time) it would be worth it for me to drive up there And who knows, maybe by the time May 6 comes around this meeting won't be all that important. If that is the case, it would be best for me if it didn't start until after, say 3:00 or 3:30 PM so I could work a half day if need-be. Edward David Fiander wrote: I concur.
