[DCRM-L] CFP for lightning alks on "cool things we've cataloged"

[Jessie Sherwood]

The RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee is seeking presenters for
lightning talks on "cool things we've cataloged." Presenters will discuss
any memorable objects that have crossed their desks, whether they were
books, collections, maps, images, manuscripts, kitchen implements, or
anything else! Our aim is to present the various tools that catalogers use
to solve mysteries (for example, learning new software, developing new
content standards, new languages, cultural competency training) and
describe unusual artifacts. We want to highlight this work since it is
often invisibilized. We are looking for presenters to talk about an
interesting item or collection cataloged for special collections, describe
why it was a challenge, share how they cataloged it, and (if applicable)
how they publicized it. Presentations should be 7-10 minutes and will be
presented via Zoom in summer/fall 2021 (date TBD). The full session will be
approximately one hour and will include a questions and discussion period.
Based on interest, we may offer multiple sessions. All interested people
are encouraged to apply, whether they are a member of RBMS or not. We're
hoping to identify a broad range of presenters (catalogers, archivists,
students, interns, paraprofessionals, etc.). Presentations will be selected
based on their relevance to these themes. Please submit proposals by May
24, 2021 by completing this form
