Charge:
Background:
The
collection of electronic resources, both networked and direct access, has
introduced a new set of questions about cataloging procedures and practices,
and it has become clear that guidance is needed. Last year Matthew Beacom
convened a group to develop cataloging guidelines for electronic journals. It
is now time to expand those guidelines to encompass a wide range of
electronic resources. Attached is a charge for the Committee.
Charge:
The
Committee on Cataloging Electronic Resources is charged to:
- Draft policy
statements and procedure documents for cataloging direct and remote
electronic resources;
- Support training
by identifying needs, writing documentation, and sponsoring workshops;
- Monitor national
developments and keep the library staff informed appropriately
- Assess the value
and utility of the catalog records to our users and librarians
- Make semi-annual
reports to the Chief Catalog Librarian and the Cataloging Coordinating
Committee
