The Mississippi Digital Library’S Civil Rights Thesaurus: An Evolving Authority Control Tool For Civil Rights-Related Headings In Metadata Records, Kathleen L. Wells
The Mississippi Digital Library’S Civil Rights Thesaurus: An Evolving Authority Control Tool For Civil Rights-Related Headings In Metadata Records, Kathleen L. Wells
The Southeastern Librarian
The online Civil Rights Thesaurus (CRT) at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) had its beginnings in the digitization of civil rights materials in the university’s McCain Library and Archives in the early 2000s. The materials included oral history interviews, letters, newspaper clippings, photographs, and other items from the rich history of the civil rights movement in Mississippi, including materials from the Freedom Summer of 1964. In addition to the creation of digitized images, making these materials available online as the Civil Rights in Mississippi Digital Archive included the formulation of descriptive records using Dublin Core metadata and the development …

Cataloging Medieval And Renaissance Manuscripts: A Review Article, Richard Clement
Cataloging Medieval And Renaissance Manuscripts: A Review Article, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
Until recently it could have been argued with much justification that the cataloging of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in the United States began and ended with Seymour De Ricci's Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada (New York: H. W. Wilson, 1935-40) and Supplement (New York: Bibliographical Society of America, 1962). Of course, many excellent catalogs were produced before the Census and have been produced since (although most are of a specialized nature), yet the Census and its Supplement must be regarded as the one great landmark in cataloging in this country. It was the …

Guide To Cataloging Slotmusic Based On Aaacr2 Chapters 6 And 9, Marcia Barrett, Jim Alberts, Cyrus Ford, Steve Henry, Michi Hoban, Jay Weitz
Guide To Cataloging Slotmusic Based On Aaacr2 Chapters 6 And 9, Marcia Barrett, Jim Alberts, Cyrus Ford, Steve Henry, Michi Hoban, Jay Weitz
OLAC Publications and Training Materials
A typical slotMusic card may come pre-loaded with images, video, text, MIDI files, etc. Each card contains 1 GB of memory (well more than what is required for the pre-loaded content). Many early media responses questioned whether there would be a market for slotMusic, reasoning that music consumers interested in MP3s generally are comfortable with downloading them through computer network connections. But a more recent report in the Los Angeles Times argues that the format is doing better than many expected. Still, in April 2010, a search for “slotmusic” in WorldCat retrieves only the record created by this task force …

Resource Discoverability, Anne Diekema, Cheryl Walters, Liz Woolcott
Resource Discoverability, Anne Diekema, Cheryl Walters, Liz Woolcott
Liz Woolcott
Resource discoverability is the crossroads where library resources and users should come together, but do they? Librarians “catalog”resources by describing, indexing, and organizing them. Then they make these resources available -- on library shelves, in databases, and on the web. The Internet, however, 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. This panel intends to engage the audience in a lively discussion on …

Selection And Cataloging For An Automated Retrieval Collection: Viewpoint Of A Cataloger, Debra G. Skinner
Selection And Cataloging For An Automated Retrieval Collection: Viewpoint Of A Cataloger, Debra G. Skinner
Library Faculty Publications
In the summer of 2004, Georgia Southern University began a library construction project that was to last 4 years. An important aspect was the installation of an Automated Retrieval System (ARC) to house a substantial portion of the library collections so that more space could be available for students, faculty, and the services to meet their needs. This paper traces the development of the use of the ARC to house collections, with emphasis on how materials were selected for the two phases of the project and how catalogers have adapted to the idea of collections that can only be browsed …
