2003 ALA ANNUAL CONFERENCE MEETINGS
OF INTEREST TO AV CATALOGERS
This information was taken from the online event planner for the 2003 ALA Annual Conference <http://planner.ala.org/index_main.asp>. Please confirm all dates, times and locations on the final Conference program. This list is not intended to be comprehensive; OLAC meetings and the major cataloging meetings are listed, as well as AV meetings of long-standing or current popular interest. The size and broad scope of this list is a reflection of the increasing interest of OLAC members in database enrichment activities, demonstrated most materially by the growing membership in the NACO-AV Funnel Project. A few workshops requiring registration are listed as well; although they may well be full at this late date, it could yet be worth trying if interested.
Note that meetings are mostly entered by their direct names (task force, committee, subcommittee or other group name), not by their supporting organization (which is generally indicated parenthetically), unless the supporting organization is integral to the name. Please also note that this list will be updated on the OLAC Website until the Conference begins. If you have information on other meetings of interest or have information about the content of any of the meetings listed, please contact Sue Neumeister <neumeist@buffalo.edu> so she can add that information to the Website.
