THIRD QUARTER COMPARATIVE REPORT
1996 OLAC CONFERENCE REGISTRATION FORM
ALA 1996 ANNUAL CONFERENCE MEETINGS OF INTEREST
This is indeed the 1996 OLAC Conference preview issue.
Everything you
need to know about the October conference in Denton, Texas is in
this issue
including full details of workshops and speakers, reservations,
transportation,
tours, entertainment and a call for poster sessions. The
registration form is
stapled in the center following p. 18.
As promised in the March issue, the OLAC Business and Board
meeting
minutes and the ALCTS AV report from ALA Midwinter in San Antonio
are
included. The index for volumes 11-15 is folded in the center
where it can be
easily inserted with the 1995 issues. Once again, Johanne
LaGrange has
compiled a comparative Treasurer's report from the last 3 years.
The News and
Announcement column is filled with interesting tidbits such as
the OLAC
election results and Nancy Olson's summer workshop on audiovisual
and
computer file cataloging.
As always in the June issue, I have compiled the ALA Annual
Conference
meetings of interest to AV catalogers which were recently posted
to E-media and
Autocat. Two preservation programs (PARS) have been added since
those
postings. For current changes, corrections and additions, please
check the
OLAC Web Page at:
Speaking of the OLAC Web Page, it was mentioned in Barbara
Stewart's
"Top 200 Technical Services Benefits of Home Page Development."
Under
Cataloging: Related Sites it states: "OLAC - Online Audiovisual
Catalogers Web
Page - Check out the 'Rationale for cataloging nonprint
collections.'" Congratulations to CAPC for catching Barbara's attention! For the other
top 199 benefits

The search for the OLAC Newsletter Editor-in-Chief is currently
still open.
If you would like more information regarding the position, please
see p. 34 of
the March 1996 Newsletter or contact me at neumeist@acsu.buffalo.edu. It
truly is an enjoyable and rewarding experience when you have four
excellent co-editors who do a wonderful job of compiling and editing their
individual columns.
Since the last time I wrote to you, most of OLAC's activities
have been focused on the preparations for the 1996 OLAC Conference in
Denton, Texas on October 3-5. Sharon Almquist, Ralph Hartsock, Mary Konkel and
the other Texas conference committee members have been working their hearts
out and coming up with some mighty fine programs and local arrangements.
Thank you, all of you, for your incredible efforts so far, and keep up
the good work!
Putting on a conference like this is an enormous amount of work,
and you don't really appreciate how much until you've been involved. I, for
one, am very excited about the Denton conference, and if you need a little
more help in deciding whether to pack your bags and head for Texas in
October, look for the
detailed article later in this issue describing all of the
offerings. You'll find the
offerings pretty irresistible.
This issue also carries the conference registration form and a
second call for
poster session submissions. This is the first time we've added
this option to our
conference, so do consider taking advantage of this fun way to
share a local
project or study with your colleagues. And you first time
conference-goers:
have you applied for the 1996 OLAC Conference Scholarship, as
advertised on
p. 8 of the March '96 OLAC Newsletter?
But enough about the conference. There is more good news to
share. The
Elections Committee has just reported its results to me. I'll
keep you in suspense
and refer you to p. 31 for the winners. Thanks go to the
Elections Committee,
Karen Driessen and Jo Davidson, for putting together such a fine
slate of
candidates, getting the ballots out and the results back in!
The new CAPC appointments have also been made. Congratulations
to
Cathy Gerhart, University of Washington, a familiar face to all
of us, who will
be moving from her position as OLAC Secretary onto CAPC after the
summer
meeting, and to Mike Esman, National Agricultural Library, as the
other new
regular member. CAPC's new intern will be Marcia Evans, from the
University
of Alabama. Welcome to OLAC CAPC, the hard-working body that gets
things
done for the AV cataloging community!
Omygosh, I just realized that this is the last "From the
President" message
that I'll be writing for this publication. Wait! I'm not ready!
My year isn't
coming to an end, is it? Not really. I'll see lots of you at the
OLAC meetings
on Friday (CAPC) and Saturday (Business Meeting) night in New
York, oh,
around the 5th and 6th of July. I hope to see even more of my
fellow OLAC
members in October in Denton, Texas. And there's plenty of work
to be done
in the meantime! End? Not a chance!

tour. Thanks also go to Heidi Hutchinson, President of OLAC, who
provided
the OLAC CAPC/Business/Board information.
Minutes
The Business meeting was called to order by OLAC President
Heidi
Hutchinson at 8:04 p.m. Officers were introduced: Heidi
Hutchinson
(President) Richard Harwood (Vice President/President Elect),
Johanne
LaGrange (Treasurer), Cathy Gerhart (Secretary), Sue Neumeister
(Newsletter Editor), Diane Boehr (CAPC Chair), and Mary Konkel
(Past
President).
H. Hutchinson announced that the OLAC Directory has been mailed
out.
Any errors in the Directory can be sent to H. Hutchinson
through e-mail to
heidi@citrus.ucr.edu. She thanked Sue Neumeister, Johanne
LaGrange, and Brian McCafferty for their work on the Directory.
The photos from the Birthday party were passed around for all
to enjoy and request copies of.
Molly Hand is resigning as ALCTS AV liaison starting after ALA
Annual.
Interested parties please respond to the announcement that will
be appearing in the Newsletter. Also, Sue Neumeister will be resigning at
the end of 1996. A replacement is being sought well ahead of time so that
they may have a short apprenticeship with her to ease the transition
into this role for the new editor. Contact H. Hutchinson if interested.
Two grants are in the final planning stage. One, a scholarship
to fund someone's travel to the next, and subsequent, OLAC Conferences
and the second, a research grant. The scholarship grant will be
available in time for someone to attend the 1996 OLAC Conference in October.
The next OLAC Conference will be in October 3-5, 1996 in
Denton, Texas. More information will be in the next few Newsletters.
The NACO funnel project is underway. Ann Caldwell is
coordinating the project. She is looking for people to be involved. An article
appeared in the December 1995 Newsletter along with her e-mail address.
The minutes of the Business meeting
of June 24, 1995 (ALA Annual
Conference) were approved as published in the September 1995
OLAC Newsletter.
J. LaGrange gave the Treasurer's report current as of December
31, 1995. Beginning with a balance of $27,129.45, we ended with a balance
of $28,392.81. The balance seems a little low because of 200
members that have not yet paid their membership but that should be up to its
normal amount soon.
S. Neumeister reported that the deadline for the March issue
will be February 5. The index for v. 15 will be coming out soon.
After four and a half years, Sue has decided that she'd like to spend more
time on the OLAC Web Page (http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/units/cts/ olac/ )

responsibilities of the Newsletter Editor which are: maintains the quality and accuracy
of, and see to the overall organization of, the Newsletter; sets

Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collection Libraries,
the American Theological Library Association, the Hebraica Funnel Project,
North Dakota State Funnel, Detroit Area Library Network, and Dance Heritage
Coalition. She also talked about the beginnings of BIBCO. PCC has begun
the BIBCO training which entails training the trainers.
Norma Hendrikson sent word that computer files cataloging
production is up 311%. In addition to cataloging computer files, their team
is also cataloging microfilm. They have implemented the interactive
multimedia guidelines and they are cataloging Internet resources put up by
LC.
Deta Davis sent word that the sound recordings catalogers have
put together a group that is working on form/genre terms for sound
recordings. Opportunities to learn LC sound recordings cataloging for three
months are still available.
The moving image catalogers are working on a revision of
Archival Moving Image Materials: a Cataloging Manual (AMIM) and Moving Image
Materials: Genre Terms (MIM). They continue to work on the
cataloging of collections of material, currently TV programs from NBC.

There was no old business.
There was no new business.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. and followed by a Question
and
Answer Session with a panel of experts.
Respectfully submitted,
The Board meeting was called to order by OLAC President Heidi
Hutchinson at 8:08 p.m.
Members present: Heidi Hutchinson (President), Richard Harwood
(Vice
President/President Elect), Catherine Gerhart (Secretary), Sue
Neumeister
(Newsletter Editor), Mary Konkel (Past President), and Johanne
LaGrange
(Treasurer)
H. Hutchinson announced that Martha Yee has accepted a one year
extension to her appointment as AMIA liaison which will include
that
position in the same rotation as our other liaison positions.
Molly Hand's
resignation begins before the 1996 ALA Annual Conference, not
after, so
the Board will need to recruit for that position earlier than
anticipated.
The OLAC Board meeting minutes of June
25, 1995 were approved
as
printed in OLAC Newsletter v. 15, no. 3, September 1995.
Minor changes to the Handbook were discussed.
The Treasurer's report through December 31, 1995 and the second
quarter
comparative report was distributed. It was decided that the
quarterly reports
should be printed in the Newsletter.
Advertisements for the new Newsletter Editor need to go out.
Autocat and
other lists are a good place to put these announcements. The
OLAC Web
Page and MOUG Newsletter are other possibilities. It will be
particularly
important for this person to have access to production
facilities and
experience. Applications should be formal and are due by
Saturday June 1,
1996 to H. Hutchinson.
H. Hutchinson reported that the Directory has been mailed.
Some
corrections have already been sent. The mechanism for keeping
the
Directory Project going in the future was discussed. It will
be issued every
two years, the next edition being 1997/98. H. Hutchinson
offered to
coordinate the Directory Project in the near future. Changes to
member
addresses should also go to the Treasurer. There was general
agreement that
the Directory would not go up on the OLAC Web Page. Also, the
Secretary was asked to consider putting something in the
Handbook about
the Directory schedule and who does what.
NACO Funnel Project report -- Training will be done for the
NACO Funnel
Project at the OLAC Conference by Ann Caldwell. There was
lengthy
discussion about whether it was better to have the session
before, during or
after the Conference. It was decided that one workshop session
during the
Conference would be used for NACO and an additional four hours
on
Saturday afternoon, equaling six hours of training. NACO
materials will
go out to all participants ahead of time so they can read them
and be ready
for training. The training will be open to only those who have
made
themselves known beforehand to A. Caldwell. A. Caldwell will
need a
backup coordinator whom she will identify. CAPC will perform
the
function of advisory committee for the Project.
M. Konkel reported on the Conference planning. Sharon Almquist
is
coordinating plans with the hotel and Ralph Hartsock is helping
with
program ideas and tour planning. Each has found an additional
person to
help on local arrangements, Jean Hardin and Kathy Loafman.
These four
people will constitute the Local Arrangements Committee. The
keynote
speakers will be Barbara Tillett, Erik Jul, and Sheila Intner.
The workshops
will be selected from the following list depending on presenter
availability:
interactive multimedia, maps, photographs/graphics, Internet
resources,
computer files, kits/games/curriculum, videos, and format
integration.
Poster sessions will be coordinated by S. Almquist. The
sign-up to give a
poster session will be in the March Newsletter. There will be
opportunities
for 8-10 presentations in the lobby.
Tours will be both short and long. The short tours will be "on
your own"
tours within walking distance of hotel. The longer tours will
be in Fort
Worth. The museums are all within walking distance of each
other so there
are lots of possibilities.
There is also the need to get sponsors for the funding of
breaks. The breaks
cost about $300 or $400. We are planning on 150 people. R.
Harwood
agreed to work on this. A table could be provided for donors
to place
advertisements on for anyone to take or read.
The other thing that will need to be looked into is adequate
transportation
to the hotel from the airport which are far apart.
Catherine Gerhart
REPORT FROM ALCTS AV MEETINGS
Submitted by Molly Brennan
The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services
Audiovisual
Committee (ALCTS AV) met several times during the conference.
The main
Committee met twice, and the various subcommittees held separate
meetings.
The subcommittees made reports at the Tuesday morning meeting.
On Sunday, January 21, Mary Beth Fecko reported to the
Committee on
business before the Committee on Cataloging: Description and
Access (CC:DA).
In the second part of the meeting, Eric Childress presented the
work thus far
completed by the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) Core
Bibliographic
Record for Audiovisual Materials Task Group. Eric received
feedback from the
Committee on the proposed core records for moving image materials
(AACR2R
Ch. 7) and graphic materials (AACR2R Ch. 8).
The Committee met again on Tuesday, January 23. After
introductions,
roster corrections, and the approval of the June minutes, the
first order of
business was announcements. Sheila Smyth, Chair of ALCTS AV,
discussed the
new joint working group composed of members from ALCTS AV and the
ALCTS Digital Resource Committee (DRC). This joint working group
will look
at the respective charges of the two committees and identify
common areas of
concern. A report from the group is due to Organizations and
Bylaws at ALA
Annual in New York. Merle Slyhoff, Johanne LaGrange and Richard
Harwood
are the ALCTS AV members appointed to this joint working group.
The formal
name, established after the meeting in San Antonio, is the Joint
Working Group
to Evaluate the Similarities and Differences Between the Digital
Resource
Committee and the Audiovisual Committee of ALCTS.
The next order of business was liaison reports. Based on a
decision made
at the last Committee meeting in Chicago, liaison reports were
distributed via
e-mail to Committee members prior to this meeting. These reports
were briefly
discussed and updated.
Reports were made by the various ALCTS AV subcommittees and
task
forces. Merle Slyhoff reported on the AV
Publisher/Distributor--Library
Relations Subcommittee. The Subcommittee is continuing work on a
series of
brochures, each covering a different nonprint format, which
address the
production of quality nonprint with consistent title and
packaging information.
A draft of the brochures should be sent to Committee members by
mid-March,
and the final draft will be presented to the Committee at ALA
Annual in New
York.
Virginia Berringer reported on the work of the Standards
Subcommittee.
The Subcommittee is still waiting to receive feedback from the
National
Association of Photographic Manufacturers in regard to the
videocassette
standard. They are continuing work on the draft standard for
interactive
multimedia.
Molly Brennan reported on the Task Force on "Labels." The Task
Force
examined the meaning and the use of the term "label" in AACR2R,
Chapters 6,
7, 8 and 9. The final report of the Task Force, which was
distributed prior to
Midwinter, was discussed. Brennan will make final editing
changes and forward
the report to Smyth. The Task Force was then discharged.
Ann Moore reported on preparations for the 1996 New York
program. The
title for the program is "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow?" The
program will
address preservation issues relating to media resources. The
Video Round Table
and Preservation and Reformatting Section (PARS) of ALCTS will be
co-
sponsors. The program will be held Saturday, July 6 from 9:30
a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Marlyn Hackett discussed tour possibilities for ALA in New
York. Four
different tours were discussed, and the Committee recommended a
tour of the
American Museum of Moving Images in Astoria, Queens. The Museum
details
100 years of the art, history, technique and technology of motion
pictures,
television, video and digital images.
Regarding new business the Committee discussed meetings times
and the
Committee agenda in light of a request from the ALCTS Executive
Board to
streamline meetings. The committee has already shortened meeting
times as well
as time spent on liaison reports, and will continue to examine
ways to streamline
meetings.
The Committee decided not to sponsor any tours at Midwinter in
Washington, D.C. Marlyn Hackett and Jo Davidson were asked to
investigate
tour possibilities for 1997 ALA Annual in San Francisco.
A letter received from the Library of Congress clarifying the
LC rule
interpretation 25.5B, as it relates to motion pictures, was
discussed. After
discussion, the Committee still felt the rule interpretation, as
it applies to motion
pictures, should be rescinded. Smyth will investigate other
avenues that will
allow further discussion on this topic.
The last item of business was further discussion on the PCC
Core Record for
AV Materials.
Pat Thompson, from the University of the South in Sewanee,
Tennessee, is the new OLAC Secretary. Pat currently catalogs a variety of
formats and manages copy cataloging operations at the University of the
South's duPont Library. She has served as the CC:DA audience observer for
OLAC the past 2 years.
The Program for Cooperative Cataloging Core Bibliographic
Record for Audiovisual Material Task Group (PCC CBR-AV Task Group) is
soliciting comments on the final drafts of the proposed standards for
core-level records for Moving Images (MI) and Graphic Materials (GR). The
full drafts of the AV
core-level record standards are now available on the PCC Home
Page at
http://lcwe
b.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/pccavcore.html
Please send comments to Eric Childress, Chair, PCC CBR-AV Task
Group, through e-mail at avcore@numen.elon.edu or
via fax at 910-538-6547.
The existing core-level standards for monographs, JACKPHY
monographs, scores, sound recordings, and serials are also available
through the PCC Home Page.
OCLC cataloging users can now access the OCLC NetFirst database
from PRISM and use NetFirst records as the basis for full cataloging
records for Internet resources. You can choose (cho) NetFirst (nfirst) as
the active database and then search NetFirst using PRISM keyword techniques. Having
found a record for an item to be cataloged, you can then derive (der) the
record to create a PRISM cataloging workform. The data from the NetFirst record
transfers to the workform. You can then edit the record as necessary and then
Save, Produce, Update, or Export the record. Please see Technical
Bulletin 214 for complete details. Beginning now through July 31, 1996, you can
search the NetFirst database from PRISM cataloging at no cost for the
keyword searching.
Due to the election of Pat Thompson to the post of OLAC
Secretary, we are
looking for a volunteer to fill out her term as OLAC's audience
observer to
ALCTS CCS CC:DA. That term expires at the end of ALA Annual
Conference
in 1997. The successful candidate must be willing to attend both
Midwinter and
Annual ALA meetings in 1997. Renewal for a further 2-year term is
possible.
The CC:DA audience observer attends all CC:DA meetings at ALA
conferences and reports on the issues of interest to the
audiovisual cataloging
community via brief presentations at the OLAC Business meetings
and written
reports in the OLAC Newsletter. Presentations are made at those
Business
meetings which are held during the ALA Midwinter meetings and
Annual
conferences. Reports are submitted to the OLAC Newsletter's
Conference
Reports Editor summarizing matters relevant to OLAC areas of
interest.
The OLAC Executive Board will consult and appoint the new CC:DA
audience observer during the OLAC Conference in Denton, Texas in
October.
Please express your interest in this position by August 31, 1996

A workshop on cataloging audiovisual material and computer
files will be
held at the University of Pittsburgh July 29-August 2. The
five-full-days
workshop, taught by Nancy B. Olson (Mankato State University)
will include
cataloging of all kinds of audiovisual and special materials
collected by K-12,
public, academic, and special libraries. Focus will be on video
and computer
software. Descriptive cataloging using AACR2 (1988 rev. and 1993
Amendments) will be emphasized, with participants doing actual
cataloging in
small groups each day. Discussion will also cover cataloging in
the online
environment, access to the bibliographic record, MARC coding and
tagging for
OCLC input (with format integration), processing materials for
circulation,
weeding, and preservation concerns, as well as other topics as
requested.
Participants are encouraged to bring problem items for cataloging
and
discussion.

QUESTION: I work for a community college library as
head of technical services and I catalog all the videos. I came to this
job as a new MLS grad about a year ago. I have a dilemma regarding
copyright infringement. I
realize this question is not specifically about cataloging AV but
thought you might be able to help.
In the course of cleaning up duplicate records in
the OPAC, I noticed that a portion of our collection from the 70's
and 80's were 1/2 in. VHS recordings made from commercially produced 16
mm. films and U-matic format videotapes. The original OCLC record in our
OPAC has been locally edited to reflect the VHS copy. I am wondering if
it was legitimate for these copies to have been made? Do blanket licenses
exist for this type of
duplicating? Or, would it be more likely that individual
permission would have been obtained for each copy? In some cases there
has never been a commercially produced VHS version issued for a title.
My director is not very receptive to my delving
into this and is upset that I went to the media room and made lists of
the titles we own in the 16 mm. and U-matic formats to help identify which
of our VHS tapes were originally in the older formats.
ANSWER: I am by no means an expert on copyright,
but it is my understanding that to duplicate any film or video locally
without written permission from the publisher is an infringement of
copyright and puts those
duplicated titles in your collection at some risk of legal
action. Our media librarian has found that obtaining permission to
duplicate is done one title at a time. It is often difficult to know who
to contact for permission. The time lag
between inquiry and response is often long and most of the time
permission to copy is denied. In addition, locally reproduced videos are
often poor quality, especially if done from an already well used original.
If permission were granted to duplicate locally, the library would need to
keep a file of letters granting permission to prove the VHS copy was
legitimate until the copy is discarded. Sounds pretty messy, doesn't
it?
It is a good thing to try to get moving on
clearing these titles out of your collection, or, replace them with
legitimately purchased ones. Sometimes a publisher will replace a 16 mm.
or U-matic title with a VHS version at a lesser cost, but that involves
paperwork and logistics you may not
have the staff to manage. We will hope that your director will
become more supportive of your efforts to maintain a legal collection.
He/she may want to consult the school's legal advisor to gain an
appreciation of the serious nature
of copyright infringement.

QUESTION: Our media coordinator and I have been
discussing using the newest GMD "Interactive multimedia" in our catalog
records. Some of the titles that we think qualify as interactive
multimedia currently use "computer file" as the GMD? Is it ok to change the GMD and use
the same record? Can you supply a definition for interactive multimedia
or tell me where to locate one? My media librarian tells me that soon almost all
digital technology will fall under that category.
ANSWER: It is certainly ok to use a computer file
record and change the GMD to interactive multimedia for items that qualify.
If you are an OCLC user, you can request a type code change to the computer
file format for bib records that were cataloged earlier using the Visual
materials format.
Currently the "best" definition for interactive
multimedia for cataloging is to be found in the Guidelines for
Bibliographic Description of Interactive Multimedia published in 1994 by the
American Library Association. The Guidelines provide a discussion of what
qualifies as interactive multimedia and what does not qualify along with
several sample bibliographic descriptions. The Guidelines are still under
review, but you certainly cannot go to far wrong using them.
If you are like me, your brain will exhibit a
certain amount of hysterical confusion even after you finish reading the
Guidelines. Do not be alarmed. Just consider it the cost of "progress." After
several months of "what is interactive multimedia REALLY?" paralysis, I found
myself most comfortable with a "liberal" (Oh! No! Not the "L" word!!!)
interpretation of what qualifies as interactive multimedia as opposed to the "in
case of doubt" instruction in the Guidelines which recommends the conservative
approach of not calling an item interactive multimedia in case of doubt.
Your media coordinator may be right. Soon so many
things may be interactive that it will be pointless to try to
discriminate. But for
now, I think it is useful to try to use the Guidelines and begin
to sort the titles
that exhibit interactive characteristics from the purely
utilitarian databases.
---VU
QUESTION: I am having trouble deciding what to do
with
variations in forms of series on videos. Sometimes the form is
really quite
different and I am unsure of what to do with the variations.
Should they be
made added entries?
ANSWER: If your OPAC has an authority module, all
you need
to do is make sure the variant series forms are part of the cross
reference
structure on the series authority record. If there is no
authority record, you
could add the variant series form in a 500 note, but I wouldn't
make an added
entry for it.
---VU
QUESTION: Now that we are format integrated, I have a
question
about the 546 field. Is this the tag we are supposed to use for
statements such
as "Silent with English intertitles. New version with Rosa Rio
at the Hammond
organ?" I recently saw a record on OCLC with the following
statement in a
546: "Originally released in Germany 1925. New version with Rosa
Rio at the
Hammond organ."
ANSWER: I would use a 500 note for these two
statements. If
I wanted to use a 546 note, I think I would use it just for the
"Silent with
English intertitles" statement and put the "New version with Rosa
Rio...." in a
separate general 500 note.
---VU
QUESTION: Do you know if anyone has started
cataloging the new
Sony video "Hi-8 mm."? I am wondering what to put in the 538.
ANSWER: I have not seen cataloging for this type of
material.
The additions to the USMARC format to accommodate it describes it
as ... "an
8 mm. format designed for higher resolution than standard 8 mm.
tape ... a
consumer market format that uses 8 mm. tape housed in a
mini-cassette." I
would guess that the appropriate 538 would restate the whole
phrase: "Hi-8 mm.
format."
