Rare Book Cataloging Roundtable

Greetings, rare book catalogers and friends!

I hope you are all planning to attend this year's Rare Book Cataloging Roundtable, which will take place Monday, 12:00-1:00 p.m., in the Sheraton--Berkeley B.

So far we have only two agenda items, which leaves a lot of time for open discussion. If you have a topic you would like to add to the agenda, please shoot me an e-mail: yates006@umn.edu.

Here's what we have so far:

I. Introductions/Round robin reports: What are you working on? (Optional--you don't have to talk if you just want to listen.)

II. Archives, in comparison with rare books and special collections. Special emphasis on description of archives. I highly recommend Stacy Etheredge's great article on archives in law libraries in the latest Spectrum: http://aallnet.org/main-menu/Publications/spectrum/Vol-16/No-9/archives.pdf as background.

III. Open discussion or your agenda items!
