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
