Bibliographic Control
Committee
2001 Annual Report
Voting members: Matthew Wise (Chair), Terry Simpkins (Chair, Authorities Subcommittee), Nancy Lorimer (Chair, Descriptive Cataloging Subcommittee), Kathryn Glennan (Chair, MARC Formats Subcommittee), Michael Colby (Chair, Subject Access Subcommittee), Michelle Koth (Editor, Music Cataloging Bulletin), Susan Vita (Library of Congress Representative) Non-voting members: Jay Weitz (OCLC Representative), Beth Tice (Recording Secretary/Webmaster). The Bibliographic Control Committee has had another busy year overseeing its four subcommittees, three working groups, and advisory task force. I would like to again thank the several Committee members who completed their terms of service following the annual meeting, including Mark Scharff, Chair, Authorities Subcommittee (succeeded by Terry Simpkins), Dennis Davies-Wilson, BCC Recording Secretary/Webmaster (succeeded by Beth Tice), and Phil Schreur, Editor, Music Cataloging Bulletin (succeeded by Michelle Koth). Thanks also go to Nancy Lorimer, who acted as the MCB's interim editor. The BCC also made twelve recommendations for appointment to fill vacancies on its subcommittees. The Committee's annual open meeting in New York City included a report by Susan Vita about the Library of Congress' Bicentennial Conference on Bibliographic Control for the New Millennium, as well as interim reports from the International Music Metadata Projects Working Group and the Dublin Core "Relations" Element "Type" Qualifier Working Group. Both working groups have asked for and were granted one-year extensions to their charges. Following upon a successful joint meeting of two subcommittees in New York, and due to the increased trend of posting announcements and reports to the BCC website, the Committee has chosen to condense its entire schedule of open meetings in Las Vegas. The Committee's open meeting will be shortened to one hour and will be followed immediately by a two-hour joint meeting of two subcommittees. After a break for lunch, the remaining two subcommittees will meet jointly for two hours. This shortens the total public meeting time of these five groups by 2-1/2 hours and allows them to all meet on the same day, with a lunch break! The four subcommittee chairs attended ALA meetings in Washington, DC and San Francisco, where they represented the "music perspective" in the broader cataloging community. Written reports of these meetings are available on the BCC website at http://www.musiclibraryassoc.org/BCC/bcc.html ,along with reports provided by representatives from the Library of Congress and OCLC.
