FROM THE PRESIDENT
Rebecca Lubas
Greetings, OLAC members! It was wonderful to see many of you at the OLAC meetings during ALA Midwinter.
If you were not able to make it to San Antonio, please do look at the meeting minutes in this issue, as there were some important reports from our liaisons to cataloging groups.
Thanks to all of you who stepped up to the plate to volunteer for CAPC positions or to be candidates for the OLAC offices in this year’s elections. We have an excellent slate of candidates for OLAC Secretary and Vice-President/President Elect. Please take the opportunity to meet the candidates in the brief biographies in this issue.
Planning for our 2006 Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, "Preparing for a Brave New World: Media Cataloging on the Threshold of RDA", is reaching fever pitch. Please see the OLAC Conference Website <http://www.asu.edu/lib/olac/> for details, and get your hotel reservation in early! In addition to having the very latest on RDA developments, the Conference will be an exciting blend of the latest information on traditional formats, as well as several workshops offering practical advice on the use of non-MARC metadata for AV materials. It will be a terrific opportunity to learn a new format, brush up your core cataloging skills and hear about real live implementations in the wider world of metadata.
Before Phoenix, there will be another opportunity to meet as OLAC. OLAC will be having its regular CAPC, Executive Board and Membership Meetings at ALA Annual in New Orleans. I hope as many of you as possible will be able to come to the OLAC meetings at that Conference and help the Big Easy return to is former glory by participating in the city’s cornerstone economic activity, tourism.
