E-Readers for E-Books: Options for Libraries
An SCTPG Workshop
Anaheim Public Library Central Branch
Thursday, June 21, 20121:00 – 5:00 P.M.
Heading to ALA this June? Wondering just what to do (or *not* to do) with e-books, and e-reader devices that seem to proliferate every 2.5 seconds? Then spend an afternoon with the Southern California Technical Processes Group as we take on the issues surrounding e-readers and e-books.
The adoption of e-reading devices and e-books in libraries presents a number of challenges, including implementation, selection, management, use, and access. This workshop will provide an overview of the current landscape of devices, platforms, and issues related to the adoption and implementation of e-readers and e-books, with speakers from academic and public libraries, as well as e-book vendors. The panelists are: Michele Potter, Engineering Librarian, U.C. Riverside; Shirley Quan and Donna Watkins, Orange County Public Libraries; Neil Sorensen representing Ebrary; Kevin Coon, representing OverDrive.
Registration coming soon – please contact Wendy Vermeer (wcvermeer@csupomona.edu) with any questions or comments.

Patron-Driven Acquisitions (PDA) Workshop
Patron-Driven Acquisitions (PDA) has been identified as a model to meet users’ demands while potentially saving thousands of dollars in purchasing costs. If you are interested in learning more about how PDA works, how to implement it at your library, how others have implemented it at their libraries, or looking to add a different vendor or format of PDA to your library, then this workshop is for you! Library representatives will present their experiences with print or electronic PDA at their library – the what, why, and how’s – while YBP representatives will provide the vendor’s perspective in setting up a PDA program at your library.

Managing Digitization Projects
Has your library been interested in beginning or continuing a digitization project? Have you come up against barriers to such an undertaking, be they large or small? At this workshop you will hear stories of digitization from the field, covering aspects from initial planning to ongoing maintenance, and the all things that come in-between. Our presenters will share with you what they have learned in carrying out their digitization projects, and provide you with tips and tools to apply to your own digitization needs. An afternoon question & answer panel will address your burning questions – if you have an in-depth or detailed question, please e-mail it to wcvermeer@csupomona.edu so it may be shared with the panelists in advance.

This two-day workshop, organized by SCTPG and co-sponsored by NASIG and CLA-ACTSS, presents bibliographic control concepts, including specific metadata standards and applications. The goal of the workshop is to relate what library staff already know about library catalog metadata to digital library metadata, thereby preparing staff to apply their current knowledge to new areas. This instruction in bibliographic control practices will help them continue to play a significant role in shaping library services in the emerging digital information environment.

A Joint California Library Association and SCTPG Workshop
The primary objective of this workshop is to give the participant a basic
knowledge level, and the necessary skills, to ensure creation of accurate
and high-quality bibliographic records for sheet maps. At the very least,
the participant will come away with a good understanding of the differences
inherent between maps and other formats of material, primarily monographs,
as well as the variability encountered in individual maps and map sets.
Basic skills that will be taught include: how to decide which title to
choose when more than one appears on a map; providing access to other forms
of a single title; the proper techniques for measuring a map/group of maps
and how to record that and other physical description information; recording
scale information correctly when provided and determining a scale when it
is not specifically stated; using map-specific fields correctly, and others.
The participant will receive a set of reference materials that will assist
them in the process of record creation.
This workshop will not cover how to catalog: map
serials; cartographic CD-ROM products; map analytics; globes; geologic
sections, and electronic datasets (GIS or online sites). However, a brief
bibliography of source material that will assist the user in cataloging
the above material types is included in this packet of information.
