Don’t Fear the eBook
A public services perspective
Presented by the Computer and Technical Services Division of SCLA
You can’t escape from them, can’t avoid them and can’t run from them. Library systems have started adopting and adapting to this new digital marketplace.
Support and service may be easier than you think.
Come join us as we talk about how libraries are teaching patrons and distributing this technology and how we might be using it in the future.
The program will describe the basic barriers that patrons and staff face connecting patrons to our eBook collection. Presenters will also talk about their success in distributing eBook readers to their patrons and their experiences.

Among the topics discussed were:
Correct way to catalog two novels in one volume, e.g., A Temporary Wife, A Promise of Spring?
How to assign Place of Publication for self-published CDs (e.g.,Panic of Girls)?
Correct way to assign pagination in the the 300 field?
How do we type symbols over foreign names?
How do we catalog games (e.g., Deluxe Wooden Chess Set)
What do you do if a title has a word crossed out as a joke (e.g., The diva code : Miss Piggy on life, love, and the 10,000 idiotic things
men frogs do).
The Roundtable is intended as a free and open exchange of ideas on best practices in cataloging. We do not make cataloging policy for PALS, SCLA, or any other library or consortium, what we do is solve cataloging problems we encounter in our day-to-day endeavors through application of AACR2, the fledgling RDA, MARC, and other cataloging standards. We’ve been holding forth since 2005.
Our next meeting takes place on Tuesday, October 30th.
