Message: 1
The Cataloging Norms Interest Group will meet in the Hyatt Regency Orlando,
Florida Ballroom C, 10:30-11:30 AM, on Saturday, June 25. The meeting will
include the following two presentations:
1) Fearless Transformation: Applying OpenRefine to Digital Collections /
Kara Long, Cataloging and Metadata Librarian, Baylor University Libraries
The Baylor University Library launched its first digitization project in
1999, with the Spencer Collection of American Popular Sheet Music. The first
phase of the project was to scan and place online 1,000 pieces of music, out
of the nearly 30,000 pieces in the print collection. The digital collection
now comprises over 8,000 titles of American sheet music from the 18th to the
20th centuries. A major challenge throughout the project has been generating
rich metadata for the digital objects, and to coordinate this effort between
the Fine Arts Library, the Digital Projects Team, and the Cataloging and
Metadata Unit of Baylor University. In 2008, the Library contracted with
Flourish Music Cataloging to provide outsource the creation of MARC records
describing the print collection. These records are transformed into metadata
describing the digital collection as well.
This presentation will cover the evolving metadata workflow, and demonstrate
the most recent change, implementing OpenRefine to quality check, and
transform metadata from MARC to Dublin Core. This transformed metadata is
used to generate a metadata load file for CONTENTdm, our digital collections
platform. This presentation will interest cataloging and metadata
librarians, especially those interested in OpenRefine, and those interested
in metadata creation in a hybrid environments or collections.
2) BIBFRAME Pilot Training / Judith P. Cannan, Chief, Cooperative &
Instructional Programs and Paul Frank, Acting Coordinator, NACO and SACO
Programs, Library of Congress
This presentation is a concise analysis of the training plan and results
based on the LC BIBFRAME Pilot Phase one. It will explain what LC was trying
to measure when it conducted the first BIBRAME pilot and what it was not
trying to measure. It will cover the initial workflow and how it changed
through the course of the pilot as improvements to the system became
functional. How we developed the training and what we learned during the
course of the pilot about the training needs of the pilot participants.
Finally we will cover what we learned and how that measured against the
outcomes we were seeking.
The LC BIBFRAME Pilot ran from October 2015 through March 2016.
We will describe the:
--conditions under which the pilot functioned
--limitations and why we proceeded when we did
--changes in workflow as the Pilot proceeded
--initial training provided to participants
--follow-up meetings that lead to refresher training
--refresher training
--lessons learned
--best practices

The ALA ALCTS CaMMS Cataloging Norms Interest Group is looking for two
volunteers to serve as Co-Vice Chairs for 2016-2017 (2017 midwinter and
annual conferences). After serving for one year as Co-Vice Chairs, you will
become Co-Chairs for 2017-2018 (2018 midwinter and annual conferences). The
Co-Chairs for 2016-2017 are Jessalyn Zoom
([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) and Sai Deng
([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>).
You are expected to attend both the midwinter and annual conferences during
the time covered and to participate in session planning and delivery. The
Vice-Chairs learn by working with the current Co-Chairs, so no prior
experience is necessary. If you are interested in the dynamics of cataloging
norms and how they are changing in today's new digital and Internet
environment, please submit your name, title, related experience, and contact
information to Jessalyn Zoom ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) and Sai
Deng ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) by May 31, 2016.
We look forward to hearing from you!
