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.

The latest developments in streaming technologies allow direct access to media contents in real time through personal computers and mobile devices over the Internet. 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,

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 …

Moore presented an overview of RDA’s guidelines for cataloging special format materials. She discussed the replacement of the GMD by content, media, and carrier types and the challenges associated with the new practice. For this purpose, Moore displayed the following materials from the Teacher Resource Center of the Henry Madden Library at the California State University Fullerton along with their RDA records: Tall Paul (human anatomy model), Wasted Away (human model that depicts the effects of substance abuse), Evolution of Dinosaur Teeth (model), Animal X-Rays (transparency), Sign Language Flash Cards, Roman Empire J-I-NG-O (game), Tyrannosaurus Rex (electronic resource + book), …

Fiolek presented a summary of several projects and metadata exchange efforts conducted by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Central Library. In giving details about one of the projects, Fiolek stated that for the last ten years the library has been cooperating with the NOAA Climate Database Modernization Program. As a result of this collaborative effort, more than 250,000 print documents have been scanned to PDF and TIFF formats, over 800 analog media converted into DVD, MOV, MP4, and AVI formats, and around 75,000 photographs born digitally or converted to high and regular resolution JPEG files for the NOAA …

Going Nano: Mobile Technologies And Academic Libraries, Irina Stanishevskaya
OLAC Conferences
Nanotechnology has revolutionized computer and communication technologies by offering nanoscale storage devices with much larger memory capacity, faster information transfer and processing speed, higher quality lightweight and energy-efficient displays, new batteries with longer service life, antibacterial coatings on electronic casings, and much more. Nanotechnology-based electronic gadgets, gizmos, and mobile devices and applications became progressively popular around the globe. They fundamentally changed the process of information storage, retrieval and exchange, as well as modified the behavior and expectations of information seekers in academic libraries. Library users expect flexible web content, easy mobile access to wireless data networks and services. Nowadays academic …

Batchloading Serials And Other E-Resources: An Introductory Workshop, Bonnie Parks
OLAC Conferences
Electronic resources are now a key component of many libraries. We have long known that catalog records for individual resources facilitate discovery and access. However, as libraries continue to increase their acquisition of electronic resources by purchasing packages of serials, ebooks, and streaming media content, cataloging individual titles isn’t always a possibility. Instead, libraries often rely upon outside sources for their MARC records and load records in large sets. This workshop introduces those new to batch record loading to some practical tools and workflow strategies to manage their records more effectively. Topics covered include: what to look for in vendor …

Building Collections In Irs From External Data Sources, Sai Deng, Susan Matveyeva
Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
This presentation will address the experiments of building research publication collections from external data sources such as PubMed, IEEE Xplore and Web of Science in the DSpace based institutional repository (IR). To get data from other sources is an alternative way to develop collections for different disciplines since author self-deposit has not become a common practice for institutional repositories. This is also an effort in line with the current metadata cataloging trend of moving from item by item cataloging to batch processing of metadata, repurposing of metadata between different systems and communities, and providing value-added data services to students and …

OLAC Publications and Training Materials
The 2006-2007 task force was charged with creating a set of best practices for coding MARC 008/lang and 041 language information for videos, especially DVDs, and with using that exercise to examine whether any changes could be made to the MARC21 format (coding or directions) that would improve access to the multiple types of language information found on videos. The work of that task force resulted in a number of changes to the MARC format, which are described in appendix 1. This current document, completed by the 2012 task force, provides guidance for coding video language information using the current …
