alawon-2-31 LC MARVEL uses Gopher software and is therefore most easily accessed from another Gopher server or by using a PC-based Gopher client. ALA Council Documents sponsored by the Committee on Legislation are also available from the listserv. For direct connection, TELNET TO: marvel.loc.gov LOGON AS: marvel ------------------------------------------------------------------- The goal of LC MARVEL is to serve as the Campus-Wide Information System for the Library of Congress' staff and additionally to offer service to the U.S. Congress and constituents throughout the world. www.eff.org /Censorship/Academic_edu/CAF/civics/alawon-2-31

Time Line of ALA Activities: 1996-1997 The home page, http://www.loc.gov, inaugurated on December 9, 1996, was provided by an initiative between ALA and LC in an effort to strengthen LC's ties to the library community. ALA and NCLIS want to "provide a national picture of public-library electronic-network infrastructure that will help to inform policymakers and assist libraries in planning for the 21st century." "The survey is funded in part by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation." American Libraries, May 1997.

Conference on Bibliographic Control in the New Millenium (Library of Congress) LC was more robust in those days and, rather than issuing Rule interpretations that contradict the rules, you will find in the 1908 rules flat statements of LC practice that differs from the rules in matters great and small. In North America, in which the LC card was to dominate cataloguing for at least the next 80 years, there was a strong tendency to follow LC practice and to hell with the rules to which LC practice was an alternative. Almost all you need to know about the Red Book (The ALA cataloging rules for author and title entries [11]) is summed up in the fact that one rule, 116A(3), is devoted to and only to the Basilian Monastery at Mount Sinai. www.unicamp.br /bc/gorman_paper.html

Chapter 11 ALA, LC, and NISO-2 each distinguish between punctuation marks which should be considered as equivalent to a space because they usually mark divisions between words, or at least word segments. LC and ALA also ignore the meaning of decimals following integers, so that 1.3 is arranged as if it were 1+space+3. ALA puts the period (full stop) in the first category (to be considered equivalent to a space), but in all four of these standards, multiple spaces (or the equivalent) are to be treated as a single space, so this difference affects only "words" with internal periods, such as initialisms. www.scils.rutgers.edu /~carballo/chapters/chapter17.htm

GRS12 - Contributor Meeting at ALA Midwinter 2004 Others note that LC records are complicated to find and often incomplete and that serials are hard to work with in the Import search, especially given that LC may have analytics for items in a serial but no record for the serial itself. The group talked about their experience with the LC server, from which we are obtaining records, and LC records themselves. Discrepancies in LC control numbers are making it difficult for Paratext to recreate the full set; we have a test file of 6333 MARC records searchable under Paratext's search engine. www.haverford.edu /library/grb/mid2004.html

PUFA: Newsletter The consumption of ALA was accompanied by an increase in triglyceride levels by about 11%, but this was not significantly different from changes in the other groups. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in plants, mainly as the 18-carbon ALA, and in their long-chain forms in fatty fish, mainly as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA consumption was not associated with any change in DHA. www.fatsoflife.com /article.asp?i=c&id=112

BCC2002/Auth/5 2002 MRC, ALA Annual Report There is also substantial overlap between MRC and OLAC (although OLAC is not an ALA body), and several people felt that the MRC charge is too broad and vague to be effective. How MRC might most effectively communicate with other ALA bodies, as well as external bodies, was one topic of discussion. LC announced that the scanned text of the 1997 ed. www.musiclibraryassoc.org /BCC/BCC-Historical/BCC2002/BCC2002Auth5.html

Joint Steering Committee Representative Report, 10/1997: Summary of Actions on JSC Documents Since we covered as much ground as we did at ALA Annual in San Francisco, and were awaiting CSSC input thereafter, I thought you all might find useful a summary of where we are with the various documents for which ALA responses are pending. ALA action: Endorse the modified language contained in the CCC response, with recommendation that example be added. Below, I have grouped documents into two categories: 1) those on which CC:DA made final decisions at Annual and 2) those on which CC:DA was awaiting CSSC [ALCTS Serials Section Committee to Study Serials Cataloging] input. www.libraries.psu.edu /tas/jca/ccda/jsc9710.html

LC Report Summer 1997 The implementation and application of these elements with LCSH and other LC thesauri is an extremely complex issue affecting many parties, most of whom are represented on this Library-wide Working Group presently headed by the assistant chief of CPSO. With the obsolescence of field 755 (Added entry--Physical characteristics) in 1995, LC cataloging units (the Rare Book Team, the NUCMC Team, the Prints and Photographs Division) are now tagging these subject terms as 655 with the source codes $2 lcsh or $2 gmgpc. The "Friday Group" will resume its weekly meetings after ALA in order to finalize guidelines for electronic resources and works about electronic resources, incorporating comments and recommendations received as a result of their "Demystifying" preconference program. www.pitt.edu /~agtaylor/ala/lcrep972.htm

OLAC NEWSLETTER, vol. 22, no. 3, September 2002 LC’s implementation date is being postponed from the previously-announced September 1, 2002, date due to the delay in the publication of the amendments package by ALA Publishing and concerns expressed from constituents about adequate time to schedule training before implementation. The liaison reports from LC and OCLC, along with the topics found in News and Announcements or in Nancy Olson's column, give unmistakable proof that the ears of OLAC members are always to the ground, in order to stay abreast of the latest information and expert advice. LC is collaborating with the Internet Archive (Alexa) and two new groups, SUNY and the University of Washington to expand the project. ublib.buffalo.edu /libraries/units/cts/olac/newsletters/sept02.html

Introduction to Fatty Acids: Metabolic Fate of LA, ALA, and LC-PUFAs The 18-carbon essential fatty acids (EFA) precursors, linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) can be elongated and desaturated to form long-chain derivatives arachidonic acid (AA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), respectively. ALA and LA in adipose tissue have been used as markers of dietary intake. More than 80% of ALA is dispatched by this pathway. www.fatsoflife.com /intro_7.html

ALA LC 2002 Annual Report The intention is to provide a single organizational entity which will handle all requests for items in the collections, whether the request is from a Member of Congress, an interlibrary loan client, a reading room patron or an LC staffer. So, all interlibrary loan contacts at LC, with the exception of Chris Wright, are still valid. Until the reorganization and merger is completed, in about a year's time, all other managers, supervisors and staff of the former two divisions are performing the same duties in the same organizational alignment as before. www.ala.org /ala/rusa/rusaourassoc/rusasections/mouss/moussection/mousscomm/ill/lc2002annual.htm

Food, nutrition and agriculture - 27 The use of labelled isotopic ALA has shown that, with a diet high in saturated fat, conversion to metabolites is 6 percent for EPA and 3.8 percent for DHA (Gerster, 1998). The parent fatty acid, ALA, is used partly as a source of energy and partly as a precursor of metabolites, but the degree of conversion appears to be unreliable and restricted. It was shown that the placental selectivity for ALA and DHA appears to be relatively unresponsive to changes in the mixture of fatty acids in the maternal circulation, but the selectivity for AA increases with a rise in maternal AA concentration (Haggarty et al. www.fao.org /docrep/003/X8576M/x8576m05.htm

lccn-v10n02.txt For the aspects of both 5.1 and 5.3 that are related to library school curricula, it has formed the ALCTS/ALISE Task Force on Educational Needs with the cooperation of another ALA division, the Association for Library and Information Science Education. It was also announced that the participation of three BIBCO members on the LC task group will provide guidance and help in the development of LCRIs for revised AACR2, Chapter 3 and 12, to be published in July.

THE LCSH CENTURY Written by the Chief of the LC Subject Cataloging Division, David J. Haykin, it was a 140-page book that basically reiterated most of Cutter’s principles and tried to explain or rationalize some of the seeming inconsistencies in LCSH. For the first time, “outside” catalogers were able to read the same memoranda, or instruction sheets, available to LC catalogers, and thus acquire the opportunity to become more consistent and improve the quality of the LCSH strings that they assigned to original-cataloging records for the bibliographic utilities. These structured but perceivably helpful collocations are lost, however, in most online catalogs that simply arrange LCSH strings in a word-by-word fashion, causing Wool to wonder if LC and the library community as a whole have virtually abandoned their faith in a precoordinated controlled vocabulary. www.catalogingandclassificationquarterly.com /ccq29nr1-2ed.htm

On-Line Audiovisual Catalogers Newsletter, vol. 3, no. 2, June 1983 It will be much like the one done by ALA and LC when AACR2 came out. Since there were several points I wanted to clarify about the CSB RI, I wrote Dick Thaxter at LC to get the "last word" on what the RI meant by a content frame, what a test frame was, and what optional content frames are. Because the $b area will allow for specific dating, LC does not routinely use the more general $a area of the 045. ublib.buffalo.edu /libraries/units/cts/olac/newsletters/june83.html

Techpro minutes 1999 She reported briefly on LC staffing changes, professional activities that included the Asian Materials Cataloging Seminar held at LC, Conferences on Vietnamese cataloging and Conferences on Southeast Asia conducted or attended by LC staff. She gave a general overview about Voyager's integrated functionality and LC strategic implementation planning and training, its benefits to LC and its users, its program management role, database structure of bibliographic holdings, and its biggest changes in the coming year. The rationale for this process was to provide Cooperative Acquisitions Program members quicker access to bibliographic records for those materials that they acquired from LC. www.cormosea.org /techpro/Techprominutes1999.html

bhlc03.html Please consult the LC ALA Update at http://www.loc.gov/ala/an03-update.html ; for the latest information on various LC initiatives and units. For the University of Michigan materials, it proved possible to enhance 1,267 LC bibliographic records, and for the Indiana University project 653 LC bibliographic records were linked to the online versions.   Future directions and the development of distance learning will be the topics of a continuing education forum at ALA on Sunday, June 22 www.acsu.buffalo.edu /~ulcjh/bhlc03.html

ALA LC Midwinter 2002 Report This is consistent with LC's own policy which prohibits readers from removing books from the LC reading rooms (except for Congressional use). The intention is to provide a single organizational entity which will handle all requests for items in the collection, whether the request is from a member of congress, an interlibrary loan client, a reading room patron, or an LC staffer. The good news is that more libraries are aware that LC (aka DLC) is a lender. www.ala.org /ala/rusa/rusaourassoc/rusasections/mouss/moussection/mousscomm/ill/lcmidwinter2002.htm

On the Cataloging/Cataloguing Front Mangan also touched on the practice that LC is calling delineation, a one-record approach for dealing with multiple formats, the equivalent of the dashed-on entry of days past. Since then work has been delayed due to the situation at LC, where a lot of projects are on hold pending the implementation of the new system. Finally, Ellen Caplan offered a clarification of a statement she had made earlier that the 006 and 007 fields are mandatory on computer file records; the fields are not on records for the originals of scanned items. www.sunysb.edu /libmap/cat1298.htm

Standards for Archival Description: Appendix A Another important ALA subgroup is the Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access (CC:DA) within ALCTS. Equally important is ALA's role as a coordinator and monitor of standards developed and maintained outside of the organization itself. For adoption as an official ALA standard, approval must be obtained from the ALA Standards Committee. www.archivists.org /catalog/stds99/appendix_a.html

BCC2005/SDC/1 CCDA Midwinter Report LC’s ILS can now accommodate 550 simultaneous users; this 25% increase was in response to feedback from users. In the area of providing access to electronic resources, LC is investigating a new level of cataloging (“access level”) which would emphasize data elements related to subject access while de-emphasizing those which do not support resource discovery. During the past fiscal year, LC processed material from the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service broadcasts and performed collective level cataloging of the Dayton C. Miller Flute Collection, the Moldenhauer Archives and the Charles Mingus Collection. www.musiclibraryassoc.org /BCC/BCC-Historical/BCC2005/BCC2005SDC1.html

Report of the Society of American Archivist’s Liaison to the Am CC:DA recommends that ALA reject 4JSC/CCC/7, for reasons similar to those stated in our response to 4JSC/CCC/6; and that we prefer that JSC take no action until we have had the opportunity to consider an alternative proposal along the same lines as that which we are considering for chapter 6. CC:DA supports 4JSC/BL/8, agrees with LC that there are ISBD issues that need to be investigated, but agrees with ACOC that this proposal should not need to wait until other issues relating to numbers in Areas 7 and 8 are resolved. A Task Force on FRBR Terminology, to be chaired by Dorothy McGarry, will review documents generated by the Joint Steering Committee’s efforts to introduce terminology from the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records into AACR; the Task Force will prepare draft ALA responses to such documents for consideration by CC:DA. www.archivists.org /saagroups/tsds/ccda2003.html
