Carley Corporation Awarded a Web-based Course Conversion Effort by the Library of Congress

August 19, 2002

The Library of Congress contracted with Carley Corporation to convert modules of an existing Cataloger’s Desktop instructor-led course into a web-based training course. This courseware teaches how to properly use the Cataloger’s Desktop software, a product created and sold by the Cataloging Distribution Service (CDS) at the Library of Congress. Cataloger’s Desktop provides access to a large number of electronic manuals and procedural documentation that describe standards to follow for performing cataloging and classification tasks in a library. The product is used by staff at the Library of Congress as well as by many library professionals and para-professionals worldwide.

This project is being accomplished by a truly Integrated Product Team (IPT) approach with Carley performing 2/3 of the work and the Government performing the remaining 1/3 of the effort. The courseware contains Level II and Level II interactivity and must be Section 508 compliant. Carley is responsible for developing the Level III interactivity portions while the Government is responsible for the Level II interactivity portions. Carley is also providing technology transfer to the Government; training their personnel how to maintain the courseware and how to generate new Level III scenarios in the future.
