Semi-Automated Techniques And Tools For Efficiency: The Case Of Etd Cataloging, Nicole Lewis
Semi-Automated Techniques And Tools For Efficiency: The Case Of Etd Cataloging, Nicole Lewis
Faculty Publications
Technological advances in the library industry have opened doors for new approaches and techniques for efficiently managing, manipulating, and remediating metadata. However, the thought of automation can often bring visions of garbage in the catalog or, worse, job consolidation or loss. With the right balance of automation and manual review, catalogers and metadata experts can optimize workflows for efficiency and quality. This frees up time for other essential projects. Developing efficiency skills may also help increase productivity and excellence in current job duties and provide job advancement opportunities regardless of background. Using an ETD cataloging workflow as a case study, …
Composers' Collected Works: A Case Study In Remote Work Compatible Catalog Maintenance, David Floyd
Composers' Collected Works: A Case Study In Remote Work Compatible Catalog Maintenance, David Floyd
Library Scholarship
Approximately 15% of Binghamton University Libraries' 28,000 musical scores are collections of scores comprising a composer's complete works. Ideally, these large, multipart, non-circulating collections are cataloged consistently with either comprehensive records for each set, or individual records for each score within the set. Our catalog is inconsistent in this approach and requires remediation. The resulting workflow maximizes flexibility in who participates, where, and when, by siloing the portion of the work requiring data processing and advanced music cataloging skills. This poster will show both the workflow for standardizing composers' collected works sets, and how the project is designed for remote …
Breaking Out Of The Box: Transforming Archival Collections And Workflows Through Collaborative Description Projects, Cindy Cline, Libby Hertenstein, Lindy Smith, Rachel Howard, Rebecca Pattillo, Ruth E. Bryan
Breaking Out Of The Box: Transforming Archival Collections And Workflows Through Collaborative Description Projects, Cindy Cline, Libby Hertenstein, Lindy Smith, Rachel Howard, Rebecca Pattillo, Ruth E. Bryan
Library Presentations
Archivists and archival collections can often be siloed into the “special” corner of their parent library: under described, underutilized, and often even unknown. Finding a path out of isolation may require taking a new look at collection management needs and considering new partners in the work. Collaboration with colleagues can result in positive ripple effects that extend beyond the initial project goals. This session will highlight three innovative description projects where archivists partnered with non-archivists to improve access to targeted collections and will detail how their collaborations transformed their archival collections, work structures and relationships, and, ultimately, their users. After …
Inventory In Digby, Laura Edwards
Inventory In Digby, Laura Edwards
EKU Faculty and Staff Scholarship
EKU will share tips and tricks from its experience with using the Digby app in its inventory project. Presenter will explain differences between the Digby-generated report and the WMS Inventory FTP report and can share workflows from the EKU's inventory project.
The Long And Brief Of It: Brief Levels And Normalization Rules To Streamline Shelf-Ready Workflows, Emily Gross
The Long And Brief Of It: Brief Levels And Normalization Rules To Streamline Shelf-Ready Workflows, Emily Gross
University Libraries Faculty & Staff Presentations
Seeking a balance between streamlining shelf-ready workflows without sacrificing record quality checks, Western Michigan University implemented a combination of Brief Levels and Normalization Rules in ExLibris’ Alma to automate much of the check process. This presentation describes the configuration at WMU and how it has improved the workflow.

Many Hands Make Light Work, Part Ii: Name Authority Cooperative (Naco) Training And Workflows At University Of Kentucky Libraries, Julene L. Jones
Library Presentations
The most fun part of cataloging, authority control, is the identity management work performed to maintain consistent access points throughout a library's database. It is increasing in importance as metadata schemas and linked data applications evolve. University of Kentucky has developed multiple strategies for maintaining authority control and most recently, has undertaken NACO training! Our new experimental workflows post-training will be discussed.
Match That Photo! Embracing Analog Methods To Enhance Digital Collections, Erin Passehl-Stoddart
Match That Photo! Embracing Analog Methods To Enhance Digital Collections, Erin Passehl-Stoddart
Erin Passehl Stoddart
When creating digital collections, different methods and workflows may be considered depending on the size, amount of metadata, and who will be staffing parts of the digitization process. Feeling overwhelmed with 500+ photographs with minimal metadata, I employed an analog tactic: playing a card matching game with printed photographs. Through matching, metadata was enhanced and locations identified more efficiently than staring at a computer screen. This lightning talk will present alternative ways to employ visual literacy tactics to provide a creative, fun way to involve students and staff in creating and enhancing large digital collections.
