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.

Streamlining Music Cataloging: Bringing Together Procedures And Corresponding Macros, Melissa Burel

OLAC Conferences

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

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

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

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

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.

Rda For Music Scores, Margaret Corby

OLAC Conferences

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.

The …

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).

Using "Tasks" In Marcedit To Do Your Dirty Work, Margaret Corby

OLAC Conferences

When you’re using MarcEdit to make the same edits to vendor packages month after month, why not set up a “task” to run the edits for you? This presentation with show how a task list is created to make the same edits to the Naxos bibliographic records.
