The Sky Is Not Falling: Questioning Assumptions About The Future Of Special Formats Cataloging, Casey A. Mullin
The Sky Is Not Falling: Questioning Assumptions About The Future Of Special Formats Cataloging, Casey A. Mullin
OLAC Conferences
Much has transpired in the world of library metadata, both expected and unexpected, since MOUG and OLAC last met together in Cleveland in 2008. Mr. Mullin will summarize key developments in this arena since that time (including but certainly not limited to the advent of the RDA era), distill lessons learned along the way, and issue a call to action for all metadata practitioners in our beloved areas of expertise.

This presentation covers the creation of music cataloging procedures with accompanying OCLC macros. It will discuss some of the useful features and iterations of cataloging procedures and will connect specific procedures with OCLC macros, including the conversion of AACR2 records to RDA.
Saving Orphans, One Vhs At A Time: The Story Of Section 108 At The University Of Connecticut Libraries, Jennifer M. Eustis
Saving Orphans, One Vhs At A Time: The Story Of Section 108 At The University Of Connecticut Libraries, Jennifer M. Eustis
OLAC Conferences
Perhaps you've witnessed the absolute terror of the faculty who cherishes their time old VHS used in teaching. At the University of Connecticut (UConn), those who have an affinity with VHS are finding it increasingly difficult to show them because UConn no longer supports this technology in classrooms. Hence, teaching faculty must either bring their own VHS player or use those in the library. Adding to this faculty frustration, many VHS tapes' quality are beginning to degrade with time and continual use. To help faculty, the Libraries use Section 108, orphan works, to determine when to provide a digital DVD …
Increasing Access To E-Books Using Qr Codes, Dana Hanford
Increasing Access To E-Books Using Qr Codes, Dana Hanford
OLAC Conferences
In order to draw attention to our library's ever-increasing e-book collection, I devised a way to promote select e-books by using QR codes that link a print copy of an e-book cover image to the bibliographic record in our catalog. By using a freely available QR code generator/tracker, I'm able to create a QR code with link for each select e-book cover image. The print e-book cover image and QR code are displayed in a clear acrylic frame on our new books display shelf (please see attached image). With the QR code tracker, I'm able to see which e-book QR …
Purchasing And Licensing Models Of Streaming Videos For Libraries, Cyrus Ford
Purchasing And Licensing Models Of Streaming Videos For Libraries, Cyrus Ford
OLAC Conferences
Libraries are moving toward online delivery. The distributors of commercial videos re-evaluated both the changing nature of the marketplace and the economic model of selling products. Also the licensing of online and on-demand video content is new and unclearly defined concept and practice. This program discusses the purchasing and licensing models of streaming videos for libraries.
The Progress Of Bibframe, Angela Kroeger
The Progress Of Bibframe, Angela Kroeger
OLAC Conferences
BIBFRAME is the Library of Congress's current effort to develop a linked data replacement for MARC. BIBFRAME is a work in progress, not yet ready for implementation. In this two-hour session, we will examine how BIBFRAME works, what it is intended to accomplish, and the progress that has been made toward that goal. We'll take a look at the BIBFRAME tools that are under development, including the prototype editor for creating new records. And we'll share a glimpse of what the future holds for library catalogs and cataloging.

A/V Cataloging At The Crossroads: Cartographic Resources Basics Using Rda, Paige G. Andrew
A/V Cataloging At The Crossroads: Cartographic Resources Basics Using Rda, Paige G. Andrew
OLAC Conferences
The three areas of a bibliographic record describing a cartographic resource that typically cause the most questions for those catalogers new to the format or who only occasionally catalog them are: (1) choosing between multiple titles for the title proper, (2) scale statements and their conversion and geographic coordinates, and (3) the physical description. This RDA-focused cataloging workshop will delve into expression and manifestation elements from these three descriptive areas, using the sheet map as a focus. It is expected that attendees be familiar with overall RDA-based changes such as no longer using abbreviations, and navigating the RDA toolkit.

Cataloging 3d Objects & 2d Graphics Using Rda And Marc21: (The Fun, Touchable Stuff!), Julie Renee Moore
Cataloging 3d Objects & 2d Graphics Using Rda And Marc21: (The Fun, Touchable Stuff!), Julie Renee Moore
OLAC Conferences
This workshop will focus on the RDA description of some special formats-- such as 3-dimensional objects (such as realia, models, replicas, kits, and games) and 2-dimensional graphics (such as flash cards, pictures, posters, x-rays). Julie has much practice with these sorts of materials, housed in The Teacher Resources Center of the Henry Madden Library at Fresno State, which is home to the largest curriculum collection in the state of California. Attendees will participate in hands-on exercises which will include resources and documentation in support of cataloging these special formats with RDA.

Naco-Av Workshop, Peter H. Lisius
OLAC Conferences
This workshop is aimed at individuals either currently participating in or desiring to participate in the NACO-AV Funnel Project, in addition to those wishing to learn how to create name-authority records in the RDA environment.

Participants will also be instructed on using entities and notes related to authorized access points. Instruction will be based on RDA guidelines, LC-PCC PSs, and other documentation from the Library of Congress. Following completion of the workshop, individuals who are not …
