Join us at the ALCTS CaMMS Copy Cataloging Interest Group Meeting in Las Vegas
Saturday, June 28th 8:30 AM-10:00 AM Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC)- N260 Agenda: Report from Library of Congress. Presenter: Angela Kinney, Chief, African, Latin American & Western European Division at Library of Congress will provide a report on Library of Congress. Differentiating Ebook Packages Through Unique Identifiers. Presenter: April Grey, Adelphi University. The creation of a workflow and a unique identifier (599 field) for each ebook package using MARC Edit and Innovative's Sierra helps differentiate between subscription and purchase records in the catalog and distinguish bibliographic records with the same title from different vendors. It also provides a new means to track holdings and statistics. Collection development and acquisitions departments also benefit from the new feature in the MARC record. Copy Catalogers Challenges and Opportunities Outside MARC and AACR2/RDA. Presenter: Nathan Putman, University of Maryland. Copy catalogers are using their skills in areas outside of MARC and AACR2/RDA. One area is copy cataloging of digitized postcards, where catalogers review the metadata created during the digitization process, correct errors as needed, and add subject terms outside of LCSH. Instead of working in the Aleph ILS, catalogers are reviewing and updating in our Digital Repository (Fedora), using a locally created Description Metadata profile. The other area in which the copy catalogers are working is the WorldCat Knowledge base. Here, catalogers receive email alerts for newly purchased ebooks, and then check for accuracy and working links in the WCKB, thus leveraging WorldCat bibliographic data. Hybrid Records and Legacy Data: Benefits of RDA Enrichment. Presenter: Roman S. Panchyshyn. Kent State University Libraries (KSUL) is currently planning an RDA enrichment project with their authority control vendor (Backstage Library Works). The project entails machine manipulation of all MARC legacy data (bibliographic records) in the library catalog by adding RDA elements to all non-RDA records to create "hybrid" RDA records. This presentation will examine the planning process, focusing on the issues that the library, together with the vendor, need to address before an RDA enrichment project can be successfully undertaken. Since preparation and execution of this type of project requires a certain level of commitment and investment in time and resources by the library, the presentation will discuss the benefits of RDA enrichment projects for libraries and their users.
