I look forward to reading this report.  Clearly it's very improtant for
all of us who teach cataloging. I am curious as to whether the six
programs were self-identified or if you got the information in another
way, say off the website for each program.  For instance, our program
requires cataloging for all our students,
but we call it "Organization and Control of Recorded Information I" so it
might not be immediately apparant that it includes basic cataloging and
classification.  I am very curious to know whether we were included in
that list of six schools and also would love to know which schools (in
addition to us) still require cataloging.  Could you list them or is that
confidential?

Thanks!
Melanie
