**Notes:**
Slide shows that in FY01 there were 170 total non-funnel libraries in the PCC.
80 small; 90 large as defined by the new criteria
Together those library contributed 151,038 records
Of the total 170 libraries 27 were identified as Low producers under the new criteria for membership. Of these 20 fell into the small category; 7 into the large category.
Low producers were 16% of the total number of libraries.
Together the low producers contributed 1,394 records in FY01 which is less than 1% of the total NACO records contributed.

## Standing Committee on Training	

**New task group (with Standing Committee on Standards) on International Participation in PCC**
**Expansion of training goals to include non-PCC training**

**Notes:**
I’m David Banush, Cornell University, and chair of the SCT
I want to give you a very brief update on the work of the SCT in meeting the goals and objectives of the strategic and tactical plans, with an emphasis on some recent work the committee is doing.

The first project I’ll mention is the formation of a new task group on International Participation in the PCC.  Goal 1.4 of the plan calls for maximizing the sharing and use of bibliographic, authority and holdings records from international sources.  However, a number of obstacles have prevented exchange from taking place more effectively.  Some of the obstacles are standards-based, others have to do with training.  In collaboration with the SCS, the SCT has formed a new task group to examine the benefits of international participation in the PCC as well as identify some of the obstacles to it, and propose solutions for the removal of these barriers.  PoCo endorsed the charge and membership of the group last November, which is chaired by John Wright of Brigham Young University.  The group consists of representatives from the Library of Congress, the British Library, and librarians from Argentina, New Zealand, South Africa and  Singapore.  The group is working now and will issue a preliminary report by the annual meeting in Toronto; the final report is due by September 30th.

Another area where training is playing a significant role is in goal 3, which involves providing leadership within the information community as a whole while promoting the values of the PCC.  To that end, the SCT is moving toward more collaborative efforts with other groups to develop training content that can be used by both PCC and non-PCC trainers and is aimed at a general audience.  The underlying assumption is that by assisting in the training of all catalogers, the program will be providing the tools to increase the quality, quantity and timeliness of bibliographic records for all of us to share.

I want to mention two specific activities in regard to this new and more broadly focused training effort.  The first is the joint PCC SCT/ALCTS effort, a course on subject analysis which is being developed by a task group of the SCT and the SAC.  Carol Hixson is chairing the SCT group; Lori Robare is heading up the SAC. The group has developed the first draft of the content and has begun to revise the content over its archived listserv. In addition, a program has been planned and approved by ALCTS for ALA Annual in Toronto where Bill Garrison, Carol Hixson, and Lori Robare will discuss the planning and the process of developing such a course and will present one of the modules to attendees.

Our second initiative follows the model laid out by the subject analysis group, but focuses on authority training.  The SCT is working with the ALCTS CCS Task Force to Develop Name and Title Authority Training to develop a course on authorities, using the same model as the subject analysis group.  The group is just getting underway and hopes to deliver a program or workshop at Annual in 2004.
