MLA Conference - St. Cloud - Oct. 14, 2009

My highlight for the MLA Conference was the Pre-Conference session entitled “Cataloging Streaming Media.” The timing of this was perfect as we have just started to catalog our streaming videos this year at Minnesota West. While we started the collection a few years ago, I hadn’t taken steps to get the titles listed in our catalog, but this year we are putting more resources into that collection so the titles need to get into the catalog. Mary’s presentation was well done and highlighted areas we need to focus on when cataloging streaming video or audio resources. This entire presentation was practical and will be useful to my work! Thanks to SAMMIE for funding this professional development activity.
