This is a reminder of next week's “Chat with GPO” OPAL session on the Cataloging Record Distribution Pilot Project.

At 1:30 p.m. EST on Tuesday, December 8, 2009, Laurie Hall, GPO’s Director of Library Technical Information Services, and Joan Chapa from MARCIVE, Inc. will discuss the new pilot project and answer your questions. The session will be held in the GPO OPAL room (which is also available from the OPAL Implementation page). It is recommended that participants of this chat view the Cataloging Record Distribution Pilot Project Web page prior to this session.

The program will be archived on the GPO OPAL site, so you will have convenient access at all times.
