BCR Looking Forward
to 2003 Alaska Library Conference

BCR's Rosario Garza, assistant director for Member Services, is looking forward to the Alaska Library Association 2003 annual conference where she can meet and talk with Alaska librarians. The conference will be held in Juneau March 7-9.

Garza will present two programs. "Your Friend MARC" is scheduled from 2-3:30 p.m. on Friday, March 7. Those attending will get a brief introduction to the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data and learn about its importance in helping librarians create online catalogs that are useful to patrons. During "Making Digital Collections Findable," scheduled for 4-5:20 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, Garza will talk about digitizing collections, making the collections available on the Internet and how to catalog them. Of particular emphasis will be the standards now used in cataloging online collections.

Between programs, Garza will staff BCR's booth in the Exhibit Area. Please stop by to get acquainted and take a look at all that BCR has to offer libraries, including discounts on numerous reference databases.
