[DCRM-L] Corrected Submission: CFP for “Cool Things We Cataloged” Webinar

[Benjamin Eskin Shapson]

Hello all,
Apologies for the double post. There was an error in the prior-submitted version that has been corrected below.
The Bibliographic Standards Committee of the ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section is seeking presenters for our webinar, “Cool Things We Cataloged”. This will be the fifth year that we have hosted a webinar with this topic. We are hosting this webinar in Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. Accepted presenters will present at either the Fall or the Spring webinar, but not both.

We are looking for a broad range of presenters (catalogers, archivists, paraprofessionals, students, interns, etc.). If you have cataloged something that you think is cool, then consider presenting it. These objects may be a book, map, globe, kitchen implement, garden tool, educational kit, music score, or anything else. Presenters will discuss why an object or a collection of objects was a challenge to catalog, how they cataloged it, resources (such as content standards) that they used to catalog it, and information that they learned while cataloging it.


Presentations should be 7-10 minutes. The full session will be approximately one hour and will include a period for questions and discussion. The Fall webinar will occur in late October or early-to-mid November on a week day. The Spring webinar will occur in April or May on a week day. It will take place in mid-afternoon if you live in the Eastern time zone or late morning if you live in the Pacific time zone or early to mid morning if you live in the Hawaii-Aleutian time zone. 

If you are interested in presenting, fill out the form linked below by Friday, September 12th, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian time. You do not need to be a member of the ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section to be a presenter.
