---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Standards-related programming ALA Annual San Francisco, January 25-30, 2015 Compiled by ALCTS Standards Committee As part of its charge to support and promote work within ALCTS related to standards, the ALCTS Standards Committee is pleased to present this compilation of standards-related programs at ALA Annual 2015. Please re-distribute as appropriate, and apologies for any duplication. Friday, June 26 NISO/BISG 9th Annual Forum: The Changing Standards Landscape Access or Ownership: Evolving Business Models and Your Institution Description: Standards are critically important elements that can make any business process more efficient. The traditional print subscription services model, the process of handling standing book orders by libraries, and even the process of buying, selling, and consuming e-books through a variety of platforms all require standardized business processes to efficiently get content from publishers through vendors to libraries and ultimately to patrons. As our community adapts to changing paradigms regarding service and ownership models specific to digital publishing, both the library and publishing communities need to consider the implications of these changes. Print content distribution was centered on a sales model, where the transfer of ownership of a physical object was a core element of the transaction; this is often not the case with digital assets. Generally, content is licensed and access is limited; by rights, by term, or by community served. The implications of this shift are quite broad both for content providers as well as libraries. What are the business practices, roles and responsibilities, on both sides of the new digital exchange that all parties need to be aware of and incorporate to ensure efficient information exchange?

Whether you work in a catalog database or a digital library/archives/institutional repository, working with library resource data means that you will eventually be required to usher data from one system or standard to another. Amy Rudersdorf from the Digital Public Library of America will be speaking on data normalization from the digital library perspective. Terry Reese of Ohio State University will discuss the role that tools such as MarcEdit can play in the context of data normalization and cleanup. Kyle Banerjee from Oregon Health and Science University will address the role data normalization is playing in the Orbis Cascade Alliance.

GOKb is an open data repository of information related to electronic resources as they are acquired and managed by libraries. This presentation will describe the ways in which GOKb has addressed holdings information so far, as well as some of the challenges and opportunities that the project has identified as a result of this work. Xiaoli Li , Co-Head of Content Support Services, Department at the University of California (UC) Davis General Library, will speak on the potential for rich bibliographic description of resources that BIBFRAME offers. However linking these resources to library holdings data is not natively part of the BIBFRAME framework. How will serials cataloging be impacted by implementation of BIBFRAME? How will libraries handle their holdings data in BIBFRAME description? Xiaoli will share what UC Davis has learned from their experiment with converting serials from MARC to BIBFRAME. She will also present her thoughts on what libraries will need to do in order to move their legacy serial bibliographic and holdings data into BIBFRAME.
