We're currently working on digitizing finding aids that were done using a typewriter in the 1970's and 80's. If someone can't lead a session, perhaps we can have a session where we bring things we're digitizing using EAD and DACS for participants to look at and comment on the contents of different fields. It would be a great learning experience -- and hopefully not the blind leading the blind!

I found some co-conspirators and we are planning to propose a pre-conference on cataloging/library metadata creation geared towards the huddled code4lib masses (otherwise known as coders) who are yearning for knowledge of this Darkest of Library Arts. We need you help before we post our proposal. We realize that there's a wide range of cataloging knowledge and experience in the community, and we want to make sure that those interested get the most out of the pre-conference. If this pre-conference has perked your interest, can you help us in letting us know: - What experience do you have with cataloging/library metadata creation? - What do you want us to cover? Do you have any questions that you want covered? This information will help us greatly in how we structure the pre-conference both in content and schedule. For now, we're planning a half-day pre-conference, but if there's enough interest between beginners and more experienced folks, we will consider offering two half-day preconferences in order to focus on specific participant needs. Feel free to ask questions as well - I'll try to answer them as best as possible given what our group has brainstormed so far.
