INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA CATALOGING INSTITUTE Friday, Nov. 1, 1996 Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass. Presented by the Cataloging and Classification Section of ALCTS and cosponsored by NELINET Goals and Objectives This institute will provide guidance and training in applying the 1994 ALA _Guidelines_ for Bibliographic Description of Interactive Multimedia through both a general review of the __Guidelines__ and hands-on instruction in their use. In addition, some of the latest examples of commercially available interactive multimedia titles will be demonstrated by creators and producers from the industry. The institute will enable catalogers to understand the overlapping concepts as well as the differences found in the __Guidelines__ instructions compared to current AACR2R rules for computer files, videos, etc. The instructors will address future issues regarding the __Guidelines__ and will actively encourage comments on them from the institute participants. Audience Catalog librarians, copy catalogers, cataloging instructors (including trainers in library catalog departments, faculty from graduate schools of library and information science, and trainers from network/consortium offices, etc.) as well as cataloging administrators involved in the creation of interactive multimedia. Representatives from academic, public, school, and specialized libraries (medicine, law, music, etc.) will also find this institute relevant. Bring your copy of the __Guidelines__ to derive the most benefit from the institute. An order form will be included in your registration confirmation.
