  1. Call for Co-Chairs for 2023-2024, please consider volunteering to coordinate and host our meetings for the coming year.  As a volunteer-run group we rely on each other to take on this responsibility, which is not onerous, in order to give us space to gather and share.

Discussion

Members of the CFLA Cataloguing Committee were present to talk about the new Cataloguing Code of Ethics released in January 2021. The Committee was seeking feedback from the Library community so it can consider recommending that the CFLA-FCAB Board of Directors officially endorse the Code.

Welcome and thanks to the members of the CFLA Cataloguing Committee:

Beth Shoemaker, Head, Bibliographic Services, Victoria University Libraries, University of Toronto

Antonio Muñoz Gómez, Digital Scholarship Librarian, University of Waterloo Library
