Aidez Moi: Cleaning Up Non_English Language Cataloging, Sarah H. Theimer
Aidez Moi: Cleaning Up Non_English Language Cataloging, Sarah H. Theimer
Faculty Publications
From a Presentation given at ELUNA Learns, September 8, 2021. This presentation discusses the importance of using quality data in describing non_English Language material, as often errors negatively impact searching and public displays. By correcting the language codes, add 800 paired MARC fields, and correcting Diacritics the library can improve the quality of these records.

Overcoming The Challenges Of Implementing Standardized Metadata Practices In A Digital Repository, Sai Deng
Overcoming The Challenges Of Implementing Standardized Metadata Practices In A Digital Repository, Sai Deng
Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
While implementing standards in cataloging digital collections is often a Metadata Librarian’s conscience or inner desire, sometimes it’s a challenge to do so if a system is not built to accommodate such standardized practices. This kind of dilemma is not uncommon in the metadata and digital repository arena. This presentation will address the various challenges in working with metadata in digital repositories such as, name authority control for authors, departments and colleges, type values selection, keywords and subject choices, whether to add linked data URIs to various fields in the records and data discrepancies in harvesting data into the OCLC’s …
Diving Into The University Knowledge Community: Navigating The Expanded Role Of The Metadata Librarian, Sai Deng
Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
Metadata librarians' engaging in the university knowledge community is becoming a trend in recent years.

This presentation discusses the shifting environment, the required changes for the metadata librarians such as developing professional and technical competency, acquiring new knowledge and skills and getting into the new world to be more connected to students, faculty and researchers, and various factors that will affect the situation. It concludes that the best …

Queering The Library Of Congress, Carlos R. Fernandez
Queering The Library Of Congress, Carlos R. Fernandez
Works of the FIU Libraries
This poster will attempt to apply the techniques used in Queer Theory to explore library and information science’s use and misuse of library classification systems; and to examine how “queering” these philosophical categories can not only improve libraries, but also help change social constructs.
For millennia, philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, have used and expounded upon categories and systems of classification. Their purpose is to make research and the retrieval of information easier. Unfortunately, the rules used to categorize and catalog make information retrieval more challenging for some, due to social constructs such as heteronormality.
The importance of this …

Is There Value In Value-Added Cataloging?, Lauren Marshall, Mina Chercourt
Is There Value In Value-Added Cataloging?, Lauren Marshall, Mina Chercourt
Mina Chercourt
We discuss a project they conducted to identify whether adding table of contents and analytics to certain materials in the collection would increase circulation. They selected monographic series in the Q classification that were titled separately and five or six large series in the Ps for analyzing. The work resulted in significant increases in circulation of the materials ( anywhere from 59% to 186%). The work was labor intensive, but the increased use of the materials made it certainly worthwhile.
Patron-Driven Acquisition Optimization At Liberty University, Erin Crane, Lori Snyder
Patron-Driven Acquisition Optimization At Liberty University, Erin Crane, Lori Snyder
Faculty Publications and Presentations
In 2010 Liberty University began a Patron-Driven Acquisition pilot program with ebrary. Since then, the program has grown dramatically. The presenters describe how the library uses past usage data to create a predictive formula for ebook use. New ebook titles were added to the program based on formula selections. Success of the formula was evaluated, and overall the results are positive. The presenters also explain how the library handles the purchasing and cataloging of the ebooks.

Resource Discoverability At The Crossroads, Cheryl D. Walters, Anne Diekema, Liz Woolcott
Resource Discoverability At The Crossroads, Cheryl D. Walters, Anne Diekema, Liz Woolcott
Cheryl D. Walters
The Internet is changing how people find and use information. Users increasingly are discovering relevant resources outside traditional library systems and expect immediate access to resources at the point of discovery. These changes are challenging traditional thinking on how we should "catalog" and provide access to resources. Panel discussion engaged the audience in a lively discussion of discoverability, trends in user information seeking behavior, the role of librarians in information seeking and finding, and implications for library system design.

Robot Cataloger - Using Macro Express To Transfer Records From Ms Access To Marc Format, Martha Gunnarson
Robot Cataloger - Using Macro Express To Transfer Records From Ms Access To Marc Format, Martha Gunnarson
Martha Gunnarson
Abstract: Students at WPI must complete 2 projects during their academic career. Written project reports have been housed at the Gordon Library for many years, but never cataloged. A web interface with the existing database allows limited searching. A stand-alone Macro recording program was used to transfer the data from MS Access into MARC records in our Voyager online catalog.
