---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 On Behalf Of Katherine Hill Apologies for Cross-Posting. The ALCTS CRC Standards Committee would love for you to join us at our ALA Forum. Description of content is below. Following on the migration theme of the last ALCTS CRS Midwinter forum, Kate Hill, the Electronic Resources and Distance Education Librarian at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, will share information on using OpenRefine to help with data cleanup after an ILS migration. Specifically, Kate will talk about how she has used OpenRefine to perform data cleanup after her library migrated to OCLC Worldshare from Sirsi. She will discuss how to fix common data migration issues with a focus on serials knowledge base data, though most of these techniques can be applied to many types of library collection data. The forum also will feature a standards update from NISO. Join us Sunday, June 26 from 10:30 -- 11:30 am in OCCC W109A. Hope to see you there Kate Hill Electronic Resources and Distance Education Librarian University of North Carolina at Greensboro Libraries Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Phone: 1-336-334-4300 ------------------------------ Message: 2 On Behalf Of Amy Franks Brown Dear colleagues: Below is the draft agenda for the Technical Services Discussion Group, meeting Sunday June 26, 10:30-11:30 in Hilton, Eola B. We look forward to seeing you there! Sincerely, Amy Brown & Amy Tims, co-conveners 1. Introductions 2. New professionals forum: New to technical services (broadly defined) and have questions? Transitioning into a technical services position and seeking advice? Curious to hear other technical services professionals? perspectives? Come to the Technical Services Discussion Group with your questions or comments! If you don?t feel comfortable speaking at the forum or would like to bring a topic up anonymously, please email your questions to one of the co-conveners, Amy Brown ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) or Amy Tims ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>), and we?ll raise it at the discussion group. 3. How do you and your institution understand and apply the terms ?publisher? and ?bookseller? in your catalog records? The Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group has recently revised (at the request of the DCRM task force) the scope notes for these relator terms, and there was a recent conversation about the topic on the DCRM-L listserv. The CV group is interested in hearing from the community about our understanding of the usage of these terms. How do you assign the terms within the historical context of early printing? How does the time period of the item affect your usage when the item in question does not make the role clear? 4. Hybrid materials: How do special collections institutions handle cataloging hybrid materials, which have a foot in multiple formats? For example, an almanac interleaved with a manuscript diary; a broadside with a manuscript on the verso; or a partly printed, partly blank notebook meant to be filled in by the owner? 5. Announcements. ------------------------------ End of Tsig Digest, Vol 50, Issue 25 ************************************ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "[email protected]" group.
