Competencies, Education, and Employer Expectations for a Career in Cataloging

The Library of Congress has posted materials and webcasts from the ALA pre-conference "What They Don’t Teach in Library School: Competencies, Education, and Employer Expectations for a Career in Cataloging" held last June in Washington, DC.

On June 22, 2007, librarians from across the United States and Canada gathered in Washington, D.C. during ALA Annual to discuss the future of cataloging at a preconference sponsored by the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services, Committee on Education, Training & Recruitment for Cataloging (ALCTS/CETRC), the Library of Congress and the Catholic University of America. The preconference was designed to assess the current state of recruitment and education in cataloging and its suitability for the current library environment.
