The LSW Cataloging Working Group
Fri, 04/03/2009 - 09:11 — Chris Zammarelli
The LSW Cataloging Working Group, shortened LSWCWG and roughly pronounced the way the Welsh would pronounce it (Lisookoog), will study issues in cataloging, then make light of them, the way Andy Rooney does every week on 60 Minutes. "Didja ever notice there's no LC subject heading for the Mariana Trech?"
Our primary activities will be drinking, taking potshots Library Thing, mocking AUTOCAT, whining about DTIC-created records, condemning OCLC, and drinking. I'll have a Newcastle.
Our meetings will be very informal, because we don't live near each other.
Our theme song will be "Standing In the Way of Control" by The Gossip.
If this sounds appealing, feel free to complain about FRBR in the comments. I will follow suit as soon as I figure out what the hell FRBR is. (Pronounced Verber.)
Comments
Is this really happening?
But someplace I can't find it? In a shoe, perhaps?
No, F that RBR!
FRBR always reminds me of the brand FUBU.
Perhaps it really means "For Rcatalogers By Rcatalogers" (the C is silent)
