Huh. I didn't look at "How to read..." but I did look at the other two.
Just so we're on the same page, here are the two I found in which I
could not detect any schema.org markup:
http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2014/2014-02-18.html
http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2014/2014-01-48.html
Interestingly, the "how to read" doesn't appear to have schema.org either:
http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2014/2014-01-07.html
FWIW, I'm looking at the HTML itself. You may be using a tool that is
generating a little but of schema. Is that accurate?
If you look at the HTML of the 2016 item you sent along, you can see the
schema.org vocab embedded in the code:
view-source:http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2016/2016-03-30.html
That's probably why it generated more output. The 2014 reviews do not
actually include schema.org markup.
Best,
Kevin

That's odd. I haven't done a large survey, but every recent item that
I've looked at has had the code.

It's possible that earlier data wasn't coded sufficiently to pick up the
details. Here's the "latin poem" one:

This is indeed why I wanted a "before and after" test - to see if schema
did add SEO. Now we don't know.

Hi Karen,
I took a look at those bryn mawr hits and I don't see the schema.org
used in the page. Am I missing it? Perhaps I found the wrong thing.
If indeed it's not there, it just goes to show how using schema is not
a panacea. Loads of factors go into search ranking, relevancy, and
display.
Yours,
Kevin

I worked on the addition of schema.org data to the Bryn Mawr Classical
Reviews. Although I advised doing a "before and after" test to see how
it affected retrieval, I lost touch with the folks before that could
happen. However, their reviews do show up fairly high in Google, around
the 3-5th place on page one. Try these searches:

Hello,
I'm looking for examples of library web sites or university web sites
that are using Structured Data / schema.org to mark up books,
locations, events, etc, on their public web sites or blogs. I'm NOT
really looking for huge linked data projects where large record sets
are marked up, but more simple SEO practices for displaying rich
snippets in search engine results.
If you have examples of library or university websites doing this,
please send me a link!
Thank you,
Jennifer
