Carol S. Shapiro, Chair, called the meeting (66 attendees) to order and designated Pam Deemer (Emory University) secretary for the meeting. Ms. Shapiro then announced that the program "Format Integration--Finally," coordinated and moderated by Alva Stone, would take place on Tuesday afternoon and reminded everyone about the Tuesday morning meeting of the Cataloging and Classification Issues Roundtable and the Wednesday afternoon Library of Congress update meeting with Aaron Kupperman, Mark Stratner, and Jolande Goldberg.

Ms. Shapiro also called for program proposals for the 1997 Baltimore and 1998 Anaheim AALL Annual Meetings and asked that the proposals be given to the TS SIS Education Committee, Rhonda Lawrence or herself. Rhonda Lawrence encouraged people to attend the Wednesday noon meeting of the Education Committee and to volunteer to be a moderator or coordinator. New members were especially encouraged to be moderators or coordinators, as doing so is a good way to begin to become active in AALL and the TS SIS.

The Chair ended her announcements by congratulating Melody Lembke on her receipt of the Rene Chapman award.

Reporting for Regina Wallen on last Annual Meeting's program, "Cataloging Problems: Now and Forever," Ms. Shapiro said the program received rave reviews.

Marie Whited, Director of the 1996 Cataloging Institute, reported that 47 attendees undertook intensive training all day and into night at the Institute, which was held at Notre Dame. Ms. Whited said it went well.

This report was followed by those of various AALL representatives. (Kathleen Price, AALL Representative to the LC Committee on Class K, Ann Sitkin, AALL Representative to CC:DA, Jean Pajerek, AALL Representative to SAC, and Rhonda Lawrence, filling in for Phyllis Post as AALL Representative to MARBI) Carol Shapiro read the report for Ms. Price, which stated that the Committee has been pushing to have the K schedule completed and published in a timely manner. Ann Sitkin stated that the proposal for a rule for cross references for certain legal headings was dead for now because the British Commonwealth countries wish to wait until after the 1997 Conference on Cataloging Principles before considering the proposal. Jean Pajerek described four subcommittees of SAC, one dealing with subject authority, one with the subject relationships in authorities and classification/reference structures, one with subject access to computer files, and one with form headings and subdivisions. Form/genre tag (655) and indicator $v are still being considered. Library of Congress has not made a decision. Ms. Pajerek announced that the 19th edition of LCSH has been published as well as the 5th edition of the LC Subject Manual and other publications. Rhonda Lawrence said MARBI is still working on a character set to the Unicode. Diacritics and online catalogs are problematic. The section symbol is still not there. Although Diane Hillman is no longer a law librarian, she will be a voting MARBI member in 1997 and is a section symbol pusher. These reports should be published in full in this fall's TSLL.

Jolande Goldberg told the Cataloging and Classification Committee that she was pleased with the Committee's cooperation with the proposed classification form division tables' revisions and that she was close to finishing. It was decided that the revisions and the report of the Working Group on K Schedule Form Tables, headed by Regina Wallen, which studied the revisions would be discussed at the Roundtable the next morning. New and revised law schedules final product should be done by 1997. The civil law and uniform law tables have been worked on, although the common law tables have yet to be touched. KZ is finished and the paralleling JX has been developed to her satisfaction. Now the political characteristics of the relation between E and F must be struggled with. Ms. Goldberg provided handouts showing comparative classification patterns for K and KZA (international regime theory). Canon law schedule work has been begun. The Committee and Ms. Goldberg also discussed the problem of classifying and reclassifying intergovernmental agency materials (ex.: UN, OAS, WHO) and how the schedules dealing with these materials should be organized. The Committee decided comments from a working group will be wanted and a note will be placed on LAW-TECH to elicit volunteers.

The Committee next heard study group reports, beginning with Melody Lembke's Task Force on Constitution Headings. (See report). The Chair commended Ms. Lembke for the work of the Task Force.

Ellen McGrath, Working Group on Cataloging Documentation, apologized for lack of action this year and asked for approval to publish a survey in TSLL to determine who has what documentation and to investigate the possibility of someone's working on a web site for the gathering together of online documentation and a possible bibliography. The Committee charged the working group to do both.

Brian Striman, Chair of the Working Group on Classification Notes, said notes have been gathered from experienced catalogers and a listserve has been set up. Although Larry Dersham has been working on a classification CD-ROM which could have links and pop-ups to these notes, Aaron Kupperman warned that notes created for ones' job and published by a commercial publisher could cause copyright problems, i.e., the employer could claim the rights. Other possibilities for distribution of the notes will have to be explored.
