The Cataloging Norms Interest Group will meet in the Boston Convention &
Exhibition Center, Room 107AB, 10:30-11:30 AM, on Saturday, January 9. 

 

The meeting will include the following three presentations:

 

Enhancing Access to Pacific-Language Resources at the University of Hawaii
at Manoa and in OCLC WorldCat  / Michael Chopey, Catalog Librarian,
University of Hawaii at Manoa Libraries 

 

With funding from an NEH grant, UHM's Cataloging Department and Pacific
Collection are working collaboratively to enhance more than 10,000
bibliographic records in our local Voyager catalog and in OCLC Worldcat,
primarily with Ethnologue (ISO 639-3) language codes, which in many cases
are much more specific than the collective MARC language code (ISO 639-2)
that the cataloging community normally uses. This presentation will outline
the planning, workflow, benefits, and future directions of this project,
including how the metadata created for this project will be reused and made
available outside of the MARC catalog environment, and a comprehensive
crosswalk of codes and languages names using linked open data from the
Library of Congress's linked data identity server (http://id.loc.gov/) and
the Open Language Archives Community (http://www.language-archives.org/).

 

Bridging the Gap between Metadata Librarians and Art Conservators / Peggy
Griesinger, Metadata & Cataloging Librarian George Mason University
Libraries 

 

This talk will discuss the challenges and benefits of collaborating with art
conservation professionals at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) to design a
metadata profile for the digital conservation of their audiovisual-based
artworks. Throughout this project in my role as metadata librarian, I was
required to quickly familiarize myself with specialized topics in art
conservation and audiovisual preservation, two areas with which I had very
little prior experience, in order to design an accurate metadata profile for
the project. I also needed to translate specialized metadata concepts into a
form that non-LIS professionals, such as conservators and museum
administrators, could understand. This talk will discuss the process of
quickly gaining low-level expertise in unfamiliar domains as well as how to
impart knowledge of complex metadata concepts (including XML, controlled
vocabularies, and metadata standards) in a form that is understandable and
practically useful to non-LIS professionals.

 

Where's the data? / Andrea Payant, Data Management Cataloger, Betty Rozum,
Data Services Coordinator & Undergraduate Research Librarian, Liz Woolcott,
Head of Cataloging and Metadata Services, Utah State University 

 

At Utah State University, a pilot project is under development to evaluate
the benefits of tracking data sets and faculty publications using the online
catalog and the Library's institutional repository. 

With federal mandates to make publications and data open, universities look
for solutions to track compliance.  At Utah State University, the Sponsored
Programs Office follows up with researchers to determine where data has been
or will be deposited, per the terms of their grant. 

Interested in making this publicly discoverable, the Library, Sponsored
Programs, and Research Office are working together to pilot a project that
enables the creation of publicly accessible MARC and Dublin Core records for
data deposited by USU faculty. This project aims to make data sets, as well
as publications, visible in research portals such as WorldCat, as well as
through Google searches.  This presentation will describe the project and
anticipated benefits, as well as outline the roles of the cataloging staff
and data librarian, and the involvement of the Research Office.
