Hello Alaska Catalogers,

The AkLA Cataloging Roundtable is attempting to invite a speaker from the Library of Congress when the AkLA conference meets in Anchorage next March. I would like to ask anyone who may be attending a couple questions in order to help us prepare.

1. We are planning to have a two-day pre-conference workshop on Library of Congress Subject Headings. If you are interested in this workshop, what level of LC subject heading analysis are you are most interested in (beginning level, intermediate, etc.) ?
2. If we are able to schedule an informational presentation on cataloging during the conference, what topic in the area of subject headings, genre headings, or LC classification would you like the most to hear about? Or perhaps there is another cataloging-related topic you are more interested in?

Thank you,

Ed Kazzimir, Vice-Chair Cataloging Roundtable Alaska Resources Library and Information Services (ARLIS)
