Please join us for the following timely presentations at the ALCTS CaMMS
Cataloging Management Interest Group at ALA Midwinter, Chicago.
Date: Saturday, January 31, 2015
Time: 1:00 - 2:30 pm
Location: MCP - W196C (McCormick Place West)
1. OCLC Hybrid records
Presenter:
Cynthia M. Whitacre, Manager, WorldCat Quality & Partner Content Dept., OCLC
The quantity of hybrid records in WorldCat is growing daily. Come to hear
how OCLC is systematically adding RDA elements to non-RDA bibliographic
records in accordance with the PCC Guidelines on Hybrid Bibliographic
Records and why that is a benefit to your library.
2. RDA Enrichment at the University of Colorado Boulder
Presenters:
Paul Moeller, Director of Metadata Services, University of Colorado Boulder
Nate Cothran, VP, Automated Services, Backstage Library Works
Working with Backstage Library Works the University of Colorado Boulder
Libraries has just completed RDA enrichment for over 3 million bibliographic
records. This presentation will discuss the steps taken to prepare for this
work, key decisions made along the way, and the impact upon ongoing
operations. Nate Cothran will address the logistics of Backstage's
processing of the files and discuss best practices for RDA enrichment.
3. Full catalog RDA enrichment in a cloud-based LMS
Presenter:
Stacie Traill, University of Minnesota Libraries
The University of Minnesota Libraries began planning a full catalog RDA
enrichment project with vendor Backstage Library Works in 2013. The project,
resulting in the enhancement of approximately 5.6 million bibliographic
records, was completed in Fall 2014, after the University Libraries migrated
to Ex Libris's Alma cloud-based library management system. This presentation
will address the planning and testing stages of the project, including how
record elements were selected for "hybridization," and which elements were
not changed. Also covered will be the design and execution of the
large-scale export and overlay processes in a cloud-based system, and some
of the system issues encountered over the course of the project. Finally,
the presentation will discuss impacts of the enrichment project on catalog
data in the Libraries' discovery system (Ex Libris's Primo), and the ongoing
work to analyze and act upon the report data provided by the vendor as part
of the project output.
4. Roles and Reels: RDA and Relationship Designators for Moving Images
Presenter:
Kelley McGrath, Metadata Management Librarian , University of Oregon This
presentation will explore some of the findings of the OLAC Movie & Video
Credit Annotation Experiment (http://olac-annotator.org/ ). One of the
outputs of this project is a large, multilingual list of free-text role and
function information from the following subfields of MARC records for moving
image resources: 245$c, 260$b, 264$b, 508$a, 511$a. This presentation will
analyze some of the results and discuss the possibility of using this corpus
in conjunction with natural language processing to add relationship
designator information to existing records for film and video. Finally, it
will discuss some implications for the use of relationship designators in
RDA.

Join us for the ALCTS CaMMS Competencies and Education for a Career in
Cataloging Interest Group Meeting in Chicago!
Friday, January 30th
1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
McCormick Place West
W176a
The meeting will be divided into two different parts.
Part 1: 1:00-2:30: Educating Catalogers: the State of the Art.
Three library science educators will present their perspectives on the state
of cataloging and metadata education. Panelists will address course content,
the balancing of theory and practice, and pedagogical approaches. Discussion
will explore the challenges of teaching cataloging in the context of the
broader, and rapidly evolving, metadata landscape. One of our
co-Vice-Chairs, also a teacher of cataloging in library school, will
moderate.
We have asked speakers to focus their remarks on the following questions:
? What do you teach in your beginning and advanced cataloging
courses?
? Does your course content focus more on theory or practice?
? Has your approach to teaching changed over time? If so, how?
? How do you stay up-to-date on cataloging topics and practices?
? What are the challenges of teaching cataloging in the context of
metadata work expanding to serve users of cultural heritage, special, and
archival collections?
? Has the increased adoption of discovery layers--most of which rely
on relevance ranking and don't utilize authority data--impacted how you
teach bibliographic and authority work?
Panelists:
Shawne Miksa, Associate Professor, Department of Library and Information
Science, University of North Texas
Gretchen Hoffman, Associate Professor, School of Library and Information
Studies, Texas Woman's University
Allyson Carlyle, Associate Professor, iSchool, University of Washington
Moderator:
Karen Snow, Assistant Professor, Graduate School of Library and Information
Science, Dominican University
Part 2: 2:30-4:00: Drafting a Cataloging Competencies Document.
Following a brief break, the group will host an interest session on the
drafting a competencies document for cataloging and metadata professionals,
where we will identify whether such a document is useful to the community,
learn of similar endeavors in the past, and identify potential partners in
the drafting of a competencies document that may be shared broadly for
community comment.
