Re: [CODE4LIB] On-site preconference registration?
Hi Adam, Just to be clear, its now too late to register for any of the preconference sessions? Thanks, Robin. Robin Taylor Main Library University of Edinburgh From: Code for Libraries on behalf of Adam Constabaris Sent: 26 February 2014 15:48 To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] On-site preconference registration? I am sorry to report that pre-conference registration was finalized on the same date as conference registration. Given the large number of pre-conferences and the configuration of the conference hotel, we have had to be very careful about assigning spaces, so our ability to react to last-minute changes is very limited.

Re: [CODE4LIB] New article on discovery tool evaluation
Hi Nara, Sadly this is not available for free for me at least at this site, is it available elsewhere? Thanks, Robin. Robin Taylor Main Library University of Edinburgh From: Code for Libraries on behalf of Newcomer, Nara L. Sent: 11 February 2014 16:54 To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] New article on discovery tool evaluation If you need to evaluate a discovery tool, allow me to recommend Rebecca Belford's just-published article "Evaluating Library Discovery Tools Through a Music Lens" Library Resources & Technical Service, V. 58, no. 1 (2014), p. 49-72. Available here, http://alcts.metapress.com/content/h608575u926r6886/ and soon in various aggregator databases. Don't be put off by "music" in the title - the paper provides a practical method anyone can use to put a discovery tool through the paces. It is full of examples of what to test, specific searches to use, how to interpret the results, and why. Appendix A is a checklist of what to search and Appendix B systematically provides actual sample searches. It is an excellent companion to the Music Discovery Requirements http://committees.musiclibraryassoc.org/ETSC/MDR (Of which, full disclaimer, I was the lead author and Rebecca Belford was a co-author.) The Music Discovery Requirements outlines discovery needs for music materials. Rebecca's article details how to evaluate an existing discovery tool's performance. The abstract: "This paper outlines how to use specialized cataloging to evaluate discovery tools for library collections. An awareness of the capability offered by bibliographic records and data for specialized materials enables libraries to conduct their own evaluation of a discovery tool's functionality for complex materials. Bibliographic records for materials such as music are excellent for putting a discovery tool through rigorous testing. This paper may be used to facilitate evaluation of discovery tools by those without music cataloging expertise, and it provides a ready supply of examples to quickly identify complex search strategies." -Nara Nara Newcomer Head of Music/Media Library | Adjunct Associate Professor, Conservatory of Music and Dance University of Missouri-Kansas City | G03C Miller Nichols Library 800 E. 51st St. | Kansas City, MO 64110-2499 p: 816-235-1679 | f: 816-333-5584 https://www.facebook.com/groups/umkcmusicmedialibrary/ -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
