OBJECTIVES:

The Technical Services Workstation is a technology which brings all the
tools for cataloging together online. The Library of Congress has stressed
development of this technology as a means of increasing cataloging output
and creating more cataloging in less time with fewer dollars. Grassroots
development work in TSWs is beginning to develop momentum and new
infrastructure developments such as McGill's telnet packages and the
upcoming releases of OCLC and RLIN under Windows make integrating various
off-the-shelf software packages increasingly feasible.

Participants will see demonstrations of programs currently in use and the
revolution in macro-based cataloging which these programs have initiated.
Faculty will also present issues of management in relation to
implementation and how and why workflow is affected.

AUDIENCE:

ALCTS and regional networks are sponsoring this institute for catalogers,
managers and administrators planning to develop TSWs

FACULTY:

- Michael Kaplan, Harvard University
- Janet McCue, Cornell University
- Matthew Beacom, Yale University
- Bruce Johnson, Library of Congress,
- Mark Bendig, Office of Research, OCLC
- Julianne Beall, Library of Congress (Washington, D.C., only)
