ALCTS CaMMS (Cataloging and Metadata Management Section) CaMMS Forum:
BIBFRAME Experimentation and Development
When: Sunday, June 28, 2015 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Location: Moscone Convention Center 132 (N) BIBFRAME, in the early stages of
development, has moved into a time rich with experimentation and
possibilities. Come and join us for a lively hour of presentation and
discussion, covering experimental projects underway at the University of
Washington and about vocabulary development occurring with a group of
partner libraries.
Speaker 1: Joseph Kiegel
The University of Washington has been working actively on BIBFRAME since
2014. This presentation describes three separate projects. The first
involved staff training in RDF and BIBFRAME, and then a review of converted
MARC records. The process of organizing for the review is described and
sample results are given. In a second project, a mapping from RDA Core to
BIBFRAME was developed and tested using native RDA cataloging. A third
project, which is in its initial stages, involves assembling a body of
topically related material in CONTENTdm, MARC and EAD and converting them to
BIBFRAME.
Speaker 2: Nancy Fallgren:
The National Library of Medicine ('NLM') has proposed that BIBFRAME should
be a lean, broadly shareable vocabulary that is supplemented with more
specificity from other more specialized descriptive schema. Toward that
goal, NLM has been collaborating with Zepheira, George Washington
University, and University of California, Davis, on development of
Zepheira's BF Lite vocabulary. This presentation will provide an update on
the progress of that collaboration.

Please join the ALCTS Collection Development Issues for Practitioners
Interest Group for a facilitated discussion at the 2015 ALA Annual
Conference in San Francisco! Our discussion will focus on three major areas
based on librarians' suggestions:
1. With new library services evolving, librarians are asked to take on
new responsibilities in areas such as scholarly communications, data
services and digital humanities. However, traditional duties such as
collection development are not going away. How do we balance our
responsibilities of the new and traditional without sacrificing the quality
of our work? How does your library meet this challenge? How do you keep
your faculty relationships strong in the face of these new areas?
1. Discovery services have been adopted by libraries of all types. Based
on research, we have observed changes in usage patterns as a result of the
implementation of discovery services. What are the implications and impact
of discovery services on library collection development? How does a
discovery platform influence decisions for product and vendor choices? What
is the impact on print collections and its management?
1. Libraries invest a lot of time and money to acquire new resources to
meet users' information needs. But how do users know we have something new
for them? What are the strategies to market new resources to library users?
Do you add new resources to LibGuides? What are the deciding factors to
consider on whether to add new titles to LibGuides?
Time: Saturday, June 27, 2015 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
