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.

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 …

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.

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 …

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

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.

School Librarian Influence On Junior High Girls’ Reading, Sarah Turbes

Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato

My future interest of obtaining a master’s degree in library science led me to my interest in the influence that school librarians have on adolescent girls’ reading choices. Students looking for a good “leisure read” head to the most convenient place: the school library. I was interested to see if librarians influenced students’ reading choices through verbal suggestions or through the selection of novels that they ordered for the library. Keeping the popular literature choices of adolescent girls in mind, I was also interested in finding out if these influences were consciously or unconsciously gendered. While I suspected that the …

Hitting A Moving Target: Cataloging In The Age Of Emerging Technologies, Robert L. Bothmann

Library Services Publications

The proliferation of content in electronic format and other emerging technologies was a chief impetus in the creation of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, the ISBD Area 0, and the development of RDA: Resource Description and Access. RDA in particular relies upon extensive sets of small vocabularies used in bibliographic data elements to describe carriers and content. These vocabularies provide a foundation for universal bibliographic control that supports Linked Data. However, some established technologies do not have appropriate vocabulary terms in RDA, relegating these resources to an undocumented area of description that inhibits universal bibliographic control. In conclusion, there …

A Bibliometric Analysis Of School Psychology International 2008-2013: What Is The Prevalence Of International Affairs In The Field Of School Psychology?, Kristen Paulsen, Katie Westermayer

Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato

In the current study, researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis on the topic of international school psychology in order to gauge how prominent international school psychology is in the world today, if there has been growth in the area, and if it is important for current researchers to begin more work in the field. This study updated and extended a previous bibliometric analysis conducted by Jennings, Ehrhardt, and Poling (2008). The following questions were used as the common interest questions to perform the extended bibliometric analysis: (1) which nations contributed articles to SPI? (2) how many SPI manuscripts involved multi-author (and …
