87941 Holdings Information Forum: Quality Standards in Batch Records
and Adventures in Cooperative Cataloging: Many Hands Make Light Work,
Sat., June 23, 04:00 pm 05:30 pm HYATT-Grand Ballroom
In the information rich, content heavy world of today’s cataloging,
you might end up with too much of a good thing—or in the case of batch
records, what you end up with might not be good enough. Come learn
about the valuable experience that large scale digitization projects
such as HathiTrust in have in collecting record information for
content ingest and in creating tools to help institutions get records.
Also, hear an update on the HathiTrust Print Holdings Database
Project. Cooperative cataloging allows for shared work to benefit from
a variety of experienced participants. The CONSER Open Access Journal
Project cooperatively targets the Directory of Open Access Journals
(DOAJ) to assure that CONSER records are available for all journals in
the collection. It is designed to provide on-going coverage of new
titles added to DOAJ. CONSER records are used by electronic resource
management and access systems to track e-journal collections such as
DOAJ and other e-journal collections. Come hear more about the project
and plans for future projects. Finally, some libraries have decided
that they no longer want to load individual MARC records at all. Learn
what other options might be possible in the form of publisher reported
holdings via OCLC Worldcat. Working together, we can accomplish more.
