Refreshing Information Literacy: Learning From Recent British Information Literacy Models, Justine Martin

Library Services Publications

Models play an important role in helping practitioners implement and promote information literacy. Over time models can lose relevance with the advances in technology, society, and learning theory. Practitioners and scholars often call for adaptations or transformations of these frameworks to articulate the learning needs in information literacy development. This study analyzes four recently published models from the United Kingdom. The initial findings were presented in a report for an ACRL taskforce reviewing the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. This article presents complementary, yet distinct findings from the same dataset that focus on reoccurring themes for information literacy …

Cataloging Digital Images, Vicki Sipe

OLAC Conferences

Many of our image collections live in the non-MARC world. Recognizing that fact, this workshop will discuss tools and standards that are available to guide decisions about record creation for digital images in MARC and non-MARC environments. A major focus will be on the methods and considerations in image analysis as a means to uncover information about an image that would be useful in all record environments. We will look at MARC and non-MARC records, and will include records created using AACR2 and RDA.

Frbr, Facets And The Discoverability Of Moving Image Materials In Libraries, Kelley Mcgrath

OLAC Conferences

This session will look at how the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model could be used to improve access to film and video. There will be a demonstration of a prototype end-user discovery interface (http:// blazing-sunset-24.heroku.com/) sponsored by OLAC and a discussion of a project using the XC Metadata Services Toolkit (http://www.extensiblecatalog.org/) to mine existing MARC data to populate this sort of interface. Participants will be asked to provide feedback and suggest future directions for this project.

Digitizing And Hosting Streaming Media Directly From Libraries, Cyrus Ford

Ford’s presentation dealt with the different acquisition and distribution methods used in delivering a wide range of streaming video and audio resources to the faculty, staff, and students of the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, as well as with the attendant licensing and copyright issues. Ford also talked about the joint project conducted by the library and the UNLV Film Department, the goal of which is to digitize videos for teaching, learning, and research purposes.

Batch Enhancement Of Genre/Form Headings In Marc Records For Maps, Stacie A. Traill

OLAC Conferences

Following the Library of Congress’s 2010 implementation of genre/form headings for cartographic materials, the University of Minnesota Libraries undertook a project to enhance and upgrade the genre/form headings and subdivisions in more than 50,000 existing catalog records for maps. This poster shows how the project evolved from its conception in Fall 2010 to its completion in Spring 2011. Project procedures were developed through analysis of ILS reports in Excel and extensive testing in MARCEdit. Record extraction, editing, and replacement were carefully timed to minimize impacts on cataloging work and ILS indexing. The presentation also covers lessons learned from the project. …

Automating Catalog Record Creation For Locally Digitized Collections, Lucas Mak

OLAC Conferences

Michigan State University Libraries has been regu­larly digitizing its selected print collection and providing access to these digital items through the library catalog. Given this constant influx of locally digitized materials, a semi-automated batch process has been created to maximize cata­loging efficiency. This process produces catalog records of digital items from two sets of input files prepared by cataloging staff: MARC records of digitized print Items extracted from local ILS, and a lookup table consists of OCLC/SkyRiver numbers and filenames of digital items. The Autolt script will invoke MARCEdit to turn MARC records exported from local ILS into MarcXML and …
