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

[Benjamin Eskin Shapson]

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 sixth year that we have hosted a webinar with this topic. We are hosting this webinar in Winter and Spring 2027. 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 Winter webinar will occur in January 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 this form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdKwZ2cNtRdRWW20kpwVAx0f4O5sNMTHsvg0LtcedpBB0vUOg/viewform) by November 11 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.
