Subject: ALA Annual 2015 Presentation Co-sponsorship
To: "conferences at rbms.info" <conferences at rbms.info>
Good afternoon,
 
My name is Christopher Case and I am writing on behalf of the ALA ALCTS Cataloging and Metadata Management Section's Subject Analysis Committee (SAC). As chair of the committee's Presentation Working Group, I am writing with regard to a presentation our committee will be hosting at the upcoming ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco. The presentation, entitled "Coming to Terms with the New LC Vocabularies: Genre/Form (Literature, Music, General), Demographic Groups and Medium of Performance," will take place on Monday June 29, 2015 from 1-2:30 pm. A full description of the program can be found at the bottom of this message.
 
I am writing to see if you would have any interest in co-sponsoring this program. Co-sponsorship does not require much work at all on your part; it is merely a way of spreading word about an event to potentially interested audiences who might not find out about it normally. Aside from sharing the information about the presentation to your community, the only other requirement of co-sponsors is to fill out a co-sponsorship form, available at this link:
 
https://alctsprogram.wufoo.com/forms/cosponsorship-form-for-an-alcts-program/
 
If you would be interested in co-sponsoring this informative presentation, please let me know. If you happen to have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me, Christopher Case, via email (ccase2 at jhu.edu) or telephone, (410-516-7757).
Thank you so much for considering this proposal, and I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Best,

Christopher Case
 
Program Description:
Monday, June 29, 2015: ALA Annual
1-2:30 pm
 
"Coming to Terms with the New LC Vocabularies: Genre/Form (Literature, Music, General), Demographic Groups and Medium of Performance"
 
The Library of Congress, ALCTS/SAC and MLA have collaborated on new vocabularies to provide genre/form access to literature, music, and "general" works as well as controlled lists of demographic terms and medium of performance terms; new MARC fields are in place for attributes of works including audience, creator characteristics, and time period of creation. Leading contributors to this work will describe the context, development, and practical application of these new vocabularies and fields.
 
Speakers will include Adam Schiff, Janis Young, Yael Mandelstam, Alex Thurman, and Hermine Vermeij
