Behind the Scenes of the Senate

Tim will regale us with his
experiences serving as an appointed member of the committee which advises
the Senate on their
official records.
Amy West, University of Minnesota and Kathryn Fuller, University of

Because the dissemination of the 2000 Census results will be the first
large scale attempt to migrate from a
print-with-some-electronic-files format to an
internet-with-some-tangible-media format, and because of significant
changes in the definitions of race, and continuing controversies over
redistricting and the validity of statistical procedures used to adjust
counts, bibliographic management decisions and reference procedures will
need to be revised and updated. To assist librarians in their decision
making process, we will be covering:
Kay Christensen, Augustana College
Kay Christensen of Augustana will compare legislative resources
available
through GPO Access with legislative resources available through other
sites
(commercial and other government sites.)
Sandy Roe and Mark McCullough, Minnesota State University, Mankato
Sandy and Mark will discuss Memorial Library's efforts to provide
access to
electronic federal government information without the aid of a commercial
tape service such as Marcive. Topics covered will include: identification
of electronic sites, format selection/deselection, workflow issues and url
maintenance.
There will also be some discussion of integrating URLs by using the
Marcive service.
Dicksy Howe-Noyes and Conni Stensrud, Southwest State University
Conni's plans for the meetings are set forth below:

For example, the Subject Bibliographies (GP 3.22/2:) were superseded
in paper. Now they are only available online. Do we still have to keep
the older ones for five years? And what if you've found it in cyberspace,
but don't
have a record?
How are you handling "shorts?" (if you have written
procedures,
please bring copies with you to share with the group)

After receiving approval from your
Regional to

so, what kind of
response are you getting?
If you

procedures, please bring copies with you to share with the group
Which you may not have directly selected, but which are
"attached" to an
item number that you DO select), how do you handle them? Do
you load each
one to see if it is something you want to add to the
collection, do you
automatically NOT add it, or do you add all CDs that you
receive without
trying to determine if the content is valuable or not?
What databases work well? What information do you
enter for each title?
