*** Call for Speaker(s) for the OLAC Membership Meeting at ALA Annual ***

[This message has been sent to multiple lists.  Apologies for any
duplicate cross-postings.]

OnLine Audiovisual Catalogers, Inc. (OLAC) is an international
organization for catalogers concerned with all types of nonprint
materials. Through conferences, workshops, publications, and e-mail
lists, catalogers exchange information and enjoy expert & practical
advice on cataloging audiovisual materials.

The OLAC Executive Board is sending a call for a speaker or panel of
speakers to present a brief discussion on a current hot topic in the
cataloging and metadata communities as it affects audiovisual and
nonprint media cataloging.  Possible topics might include: RDA, FRBR,
library linked data, non-MARC metadata, or other, but with a focus on
the AV/nonprint formats.

The 30-45 minute presentation or discussion would be held during the
OLAC Membership Meeting at the ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim,
California, on Sunday, June 24th, between 4:00-5:30pm in the Sheraton
Park Hotel (SHERP-Park BC).  The presentation will directly follow the
general membership meeting agenda.

If you are interested in presenting a discussion, please submit your
topic proposal in an abstract not more than 200 words, by Friday, May
18, 2012, to:

Heidi Frank
