I don't know if anyone else is on the OCLC-Cat List, but I thought I'd
forward it to this group.  It should be right up a few of our alleys!!

Subject: [OCLC-CAT] 2nd Call for papers -- Cataloging education JELIS
Special Issue

Because the education and training of catalogers concerns all types and
sizes of libraries and information organizations, this call is for
papers for a special issue of the Journal of Education for Library and
Information Science (JELIS), the official scholarly publication of the
Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE),
(http://www.alise.org/publications/jelis.html). Papers should focus on
education and continuing education in an age of Google, electronic
resources, digital libraries, shifting standards, and metadata
developments. 

This issue of JELIS will supplement and extend the presentations at
"What They Don't Teach in Library School: Competencies, Education and
Employer Expectations for a Career in Cataloging," a preconference
during the American Library Association Annual Conference. This
preconference at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
on Friday, June 22, 2007 is sponsored by the Association for Library
Collections and Technical Services, ALISE, and the Library of Congress.
Nationally known librarians, bibliographic access services
administrators, technical services managers, and educators have been
invited to address the theme. The papers scheduled for presentation at
the preconference are:

Core competencies required for a cataloging career in public libraries
(J. Randolph Call, Detroit Public Library) 
Managing a shortage of catalogers: a research library perspective
(Beacher Wiggins, Library of Congress)
Integration of "old" and "new" cataloging competencies in academic
libraries: bridging the gap (Karen Calhoun, Cornell University) 
Methods and materials for recruitment to a career in cataloging (Janet
Swan Hill, University of Colorado - Boulder) 
Employers' expectations for cataloging recruits (Brian E.C.
Schottlaender, University of California at San Diego)
Training issues managers face: increasing awareness of employer and
educator needs (Matthew Beacom, Yale University) 
Improving education across the U.S. for catalogers: placing emphasis on
the library and information science curriculum (Sylvia D. Hall-Ellis,
University of Denver)

Additional manuscripts for the JELIS issue should be double-spaced, with
ample margins, and follow JELIS manuscript guidelines
(http://www.alise.org/publications/jelis_submission_guidelines.html).
The deadline for submission is October 15, 2007. A committee of experts
will referee all of the submitted papers. Contributors will be notified
of the referees' decision by December 1, 2007.
