Here are the details: Online Audiovisual Catalogers (OLAC) - Membership Meeting ALA Midwinter 2013 (Seattle, WA) DATE: Sunday, January 27, 2013 TIME: 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm LOCATION: WSCC (Washington State Convention Center) - Room 210 Add this event to your ALA MW schedule: http://alamw13.ala.org/node/9049 Presentation Descriptions: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "FRBR for Movies and Finding FRBR in MARC" by Kelley McGrath - Metadata Management Librarian, University of Oregon This presentation will look at how the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model could be used to improve access to film and video in libraries. The prototype end-user discovery interface (http://blazing-sunset-24.heroku.com/) sponsored by OLAC will be discussed as an example of how FRBR might benefit people looking for videos in libraries. The program will describe practical steps towards implementing this vision, including current work on converting existing MARC bibliographic data for videos to machine-actionable data mapped to the FRBR group 1 entities. Opportunities to get involved in this project will be discussed, such as a current project to annotate existing MARC bibliographic records to create training data to help a computer identify names and roles. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "NOOBS FTW! (Music cataloging for new librarians)" by Autumn Faulkner - Cataloger, Michigan State University Significant challenges face rookie catalogers who must also learning music cataloging. To begin with, there are numerous standards and manuals any new cataloger must learn-no small feat. To add to this, catalogers now joining the ranks must scurry to master AACR2 before the transition to RDA. All these challenges are doubly true for the music noob, who must tackle the complexities of music cataloging in both AACR2 and RDA, often without a strong foundation in the basics. This presentation is intended for noobs and those concerned for noob welfare. It will focus on describing challenges but also suggesting resources (listservs, documentation, training). The presenter hopes this information will be useful for the AV community in understanding the obstacles its new members may face and helping them succeed. These presentations will be followed by activity updates and business reports from the OLAC Executive Board. Please see the full agenda in the attachment. I truly hope you are able to come to this event, and I look forward to seeing you there!

Description: OLAC-Membership Meeting-2013-01-ALA Midwinter.docx
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
