The standards gap makes it difficult to share resources, reap the economic benefits of copy cataloging and name authority work, or exploit the full form. Speakers will discuss the problems they have encountered in cataloging visual materials in various formats; in response, a spokesperson from the Library of Congress's Cataloging Policy Support Office will offer the Library's perspective on standards issues related to visual materials cataloging, and describe LC initiatives in this area.

The benefits and challenges of embracing diversity in the hiring and mentoring of staff in our institutions will be discussed by a panel addressing the complexities of diversity. Open discussion between panel members and audience can lead to specific actions to help the Society meet an objective of its Strategic Plan: To increase cultural diversity in the profession and the Society as a means of increasing the effectiveness of art librarians and visual resource curators.
