[Eril-l] [EXTERNAL] Hold it Together!: MARC Format for Holdings Data in Practice and Transition

Tue May 20 04:48:27 PDT 2025

I also would like to join this, but as Vickie said, the links aren't too
helpful.

The link "for more information" clearly shows that it's for a different
forum, which took place in March. There's nothing on the ALA website about
this one.

>>
>> Learning Outcomes:
>>
>>    -
>>
>>    Participants will network with a community of practitioners to answer
>>    specific questions about the MARC format for holdings data (MFHD) standard
>>    and its application across Library Management Systems (LMSs)
>>    -
>>
>>    Participants will gain an understanding of how MFHD is searched and
>>    displayed in different LMS's in order to inform decisions about migrations,
>>    configurations, and cataloging or resource sharing workflows
>>    -
>>
>>    Participants may consider how the differences in modeling across
>>    Library Management Systems affect interoperability and integration of the
>>    LMS with other software and systems
>>    -
>>
>>    Discussion will inform the Continuing Resources Holdings Information
>>    Interest Group's future efforts to assemble documented best practices for
>>    MFHD in a variety of LMSss
>>
>>
>>
>> Who Should Attend:
>>
>> Technical Services or Resource Sharing professionals and
>> paraprofessionals in Academic, Public, or Special Libraries who use, enter,
>> or configure holdings records in MARC or other formats. Any experience
