Midwinter discussion forum on locally mounted databases

On Sunday afternoon, January 7, from 2:00- 4:00, the ACRL BIS Computer Concerns Committee, the RASD Catalog Use Committee, and the RASD MARS Direct Patron Access Committee will co-sponsor a Discussion Forum on The Supercatalog: Service Implications of Locally Mounted Databases.

Four experts in the field will present statements of their own experiences with locally mounted databases. Technical and software considerations, database selection, instructional issues, and the creation and maintenance of non-bibliographic databases will be addressed by Clifford Lynch (director of the University of California Division of Library Automation), Nancy Evans (data and information service manager, Carnegie Mellon University), Susan Varca (head of instruction and information services, Arizona State University), and Daniel Barr (head of the Information and Reference Department, Penrose Public Library, Pike’s Peak Library District).

The Discussion Forum format was chosen for this meeting by the sponsoring committees in order to encourage a lively interchange of experiences, questions, and concerns among the participants and the attendees, and a substantial amount of time has been planned for open discussion. All participating committees hope to identify new areas of interest or concern for future ALA conference programs during this Forum, so the widest possible participation is hoped for.

Mark your Midwinter calendars with the date! 4:00 p.m.; Sunday, January 7,9:00-11:00 a.m.
