Congratulations to Concetta La Spada on her appointment as the CILIP Cataloguing & Indexing Group representative to the BIC Library Metadata Group.
At her first meeting on Wednesday, she will join colleagues Natasha Aburrow-Jones (Faculty of Advocates), Niamh Doran (Civica), Gwyneth Morgan (Nielson BookData), Anne Welsh (Beginning Cataloguing), Dominic Wilson (Dawson Books), Jenny Wright (BDS), Siu Ying Yip (University of the Arts London) and Chair Thurstan Young (British Library).
The group promotes bibliographic standards, and is the UK Advisory Group to the British Library for the revision of MARC 21, and as such, we look at the discussion and proposal papers for the American Library Association’s MARC Advisory Committee (MAC), which meets twice yearly. If you are interested in MAC proposals, you can see them on the Library of Congress’s MARC Development page.
You can find out more about the BIC Library Metadata Group (including how to submit proposals for MARC Development) on its website.
