OLAC 2006

Well, we're back from sunny Arizona and the 12th biennial Online Audiovisual Catalogers conference "Preparing for a Brave New World: Media Cataloging on the Threshold of RDA." Unfortunately we couldn't bring back the warm and sunny weather, but we did return with LOTS of great information!

From Jennifer Bowen's opening keynote address about the future of Resource Description and Access (RDA) to the closing address by John Howard on knowledge organization and marketplace, the conference was chock-full of information pertaining to media cataloging. There were workshops on cataloging videorecordings, maps, sound recordings, metadata (3 workshops: Intro to metadata, VRA Core 4.0/Cataloging Cultural Objects, Audio metadata).

TS staff attending OLAC 2006: Kristi Bergland, Mary Huismann, Stacie Traill, Sharyn Wang
