Terry Reese - The world beyond MARC: let's focus on asking the right questionsKohaGruppoItaliano
This document discusses moving library metadata away from MARC and towards linked data using identifiers. It suggests starting by entifying existing metadata by adding identifiers from controlled vocabularies and authority files to MARC fields. This will allow strings in metadata to be linked to concepts. It also discusses building infrastructure like identifier switching services to facilitate linking between local identifiers and global linked identifiers. The document advocates experimenting with linked data and demonstrating how it can improve discovery for users.
Cooperative methods to improve the oclc knowledge base oct 16 2018Jeff Siemon
This document discusses improving metadata for electronic resources in OCLC's Knowledge Base through cooperative efforts. It begins by noting that community-managed knowledge bases show promise but some libraries are hesitant to rely on metadata outside of their control. The document then provides examples of how libraries can work together at a national or international level to combine efforts and improve access to electronic resources. It identifies poor metadata from vendors and publishers as a key problem limiting discovery of resources libraries have paid for. The document concludes by calling for catalogers to learn new skills in collection-level metadata in order to improve knowledge base collections supplied by vendors.
This document discusses LibraryThing, a web service that allows libraries to enhance catalogue records by linking them to additional user-generated metadata and content from LibraryThing.com. It provides details on how the service works, the benefits it provides to users, and how the library implemented it, including exporting records, adding HTML code, and testing before going live. Key features highlighted include book recommendations, tag browsing, linking related editions and translations, and allowing user reviews and tagging in the future.

Most developers are familiar with the topic of “database design”. In the relational world, normalization is the name of the game. How do things change when you’re working with a scalable, distributed, non-SQL database like HBase? This talk will cover the basics of HBase schema design at a high level and give several common patterns and examples of real-world schemas to solve interesting problems. The storage and data access architecture of HBase (row keys, column families, etc.) will be explained, along with the pros and cons of different schema decisions.
Dealing With the Demand: Handling the Problems of Demand-Driven AcquisitionsDom Bortruex
The document summarizes the University of South Florida Libraries' shift to demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) and evidence-based acquisitions (EBA) of ebooks, and the workflows and challenges involved. It describes USF Libraries' multiple DDA and EBA programs, the processes for acquiring records, handling weekly updates and purchases, and performing quality control. Global processes are used to update records after an EBA program ends. Maintaining DDA and EBA programs is complex in a shared catalog environment due to vendor variations, but the USF team effectively manages the demand through technology and communication.

The document discusses the concepts and standards involved in cataloging library materials, including:
- Bibliographic description, subject analysis, and classification are the main elements of cataloging.
- There are two types of cataloging: original cataloging which is done from scratch, and copy cataloging which adapts existing records.
- Cataloging standards include ISBD for bibliographic description order/punctuation, and AACR2 rules.
- FRBR is a conceptual model that aims to improve user tasks like finding, identifying, selecting, and obtaining materials. RDA and FRBR are the new standards replacing AACR2.

Selecting open access Knowledge Base collections for Discovery Jeff Siemon
Open Access KB (Knowledge Base) collections can add diversity and breadth to your library’s Discovery experience of e-journals and eBooks. What kinds of OA (open access) collections are available in the OCLC KB? What levels of quality are represented? Which OA collections should my library select? How do you search for and select OA collections? How can you elevate, in Discovery results lists, results from purchased collections before results from OA collections, if you want to? This will be a presentation, with flexibility for questions and sharing experiences.

This document discusses the importance of collecting and cataloging non-Western materials for theological scholarship. It notes that incorporating diverse perspectives can provide a fuller understanding of God and reveal biases. Cataloging non-Western materials well requires partnerships between those with cataloging expertise and those with language expertise. It also requires technical systems that can handle diverse languages and expanded subject headings to show relationships across languages and cultures. The document provides examples of how partnerships and training have helped seminaries enhance their non-Western collections.

1. WMS KB
demo & discussion
DANIELA MATEI, FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
JEFF SIEMON, FORMERLY OF FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
2. How to create KB Collection that
OCLC KB doesn’t have.
Title/ISBN/URLs list from
vendor
Batch search ISBNs in
Connexion Client
Use Batch report (or
MarcEdit) to get a list
of OCLC numbers
In Excel, line up OCLC
numbers with
Title/ISBN rows
Create a KBart file,
and upload to a new
custom collection
using WMS Collection
Manager
3. Title/ISBN/URLs list from vendor
Hints: Longer titles give fewer false positive matches, so include subtitle and series in the title if possible.
Current match algorithm does match three word or less titles, but common titles four+ word are a
problem, i.e. Introduction to Organic Chemistry
Be careful of Unicode characters, and use “UTF-LE16-Unicode” upload if needed (but numbers
sometimes get truncated with UTF-LE16).
4. Batch search ISBNs in Connexion Client
Create a temporary merged column of print and electronic ISBN
numbers =IF(C2>0,C2,B2)
If you have some 10 digit ISBN numbers convert:
=CONCATENATE("978",MID(RIGHT(A3,10),1,9),MOD((10-MOD(SUM(9,
21, 8, PRODUCT(MID(RIGHT(A3,10),1,1),3), MID(RIGHT(A3,10),2,1),
PRODUCT(MID(RIGHT(A3,10),3,1),3), MID(RIGHT(A3,10),4,1),
PRODUCT(MID(RIGHT(A3,10),5,1),3), MID(RIGHT(A3,10),6,1),
PRODUCT(MID(RIGHT(A3,10),7,1),3), MID(RIGHT(A3,10),8,1),
PRODUCT(MID(RIGHT(A3,10),9,1),3)),10)), 10))
Copy the Excel ISBNs, into a third column pasting value only, to get
rid of the formula, then to a text document (I use notepad)
In Connexion Client, Batch search (Standard number index gets $z,
so better than ISBN index; and add qualifiers such as AND mt:BKS
AND mt:URL)
Often the log/report from the batch has all you need: OCLC# and
ISBN and TITLE; you may not even need the MARC records.
6. In Excel, line up OCLC numbers with
Title/ISBN rows
For example, move these cells down to match up IBSNs ending in 945
7. Create a KBart file, and upload to a new custom
collection using WMS Collection Manager
Create a new standard collection, and check the box for “Libraries may
select individual titles” OCLC help:
http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/support/knowledge-base/kb_new.pdf
Get a fresh Kbart template from OCLC support
http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/collection-management/
kb_kbart.xlsx
Copy your worksheet columns onto the Kbart template, one column at a
time.
Hint, use a unique number in the “oclc_entry_id”, either repeat the OCLC
number, or use the Excel row number; this is required so ”Libraries may select
individual titles”
10. WorldCat “view now” has link to a
wrong,
but similar,
eBook title
No series, and no
more subtitle, so I
added the title of
the first essay in this
book, in this case.
505 $t Bride of
Christ and signs…
11. WorldCat “view now” has link to a
wrong,
but similar,
eBook title
The original
problem book, no
longer matches
the false positive
for the 1996 book.
(Fuller does have
the correct book in
two collections)
12. Suggestions:
For learning, listen in (Lurk) during the weekly KB office hours,
Tuesdays 9am – 10:30 am (Pacific time)
https://www.oclc.org/support/services/collection-manager.en.html
(scroll to bottom)
When you add (expensive) eBooks or eJournals; make sure the print
OCLC bib record (020 $z) has the e-Resource ISBN or ISSN
(Use metadata manager or Connexion to add and replace the bib
record if you add the e-ISBN/ISSN.
Then, when students find the print, they would see that your library
also has the e-version.
(At this point KB overwrites cooperatively shared ISBN/ISSN additions,
when the vendor upload new data, I think.)
13. Discussion -- Possible topics
1. Is KB grouping wrong OCLC numbers in some title records?
Would manual editing of grouped OCLC number help?
2. Metadata issues: bad data from vendor: e.g. volume/issue number
missing. – How might libraries, and vendors and OCLC improve this
data?
3. Is it a user issue if there happens to be two “view now” links to the
same e-Resource (say from two vendors)?
Would it help to have an enhancement to order the display of
collections in WCL/Discovery? (we can order the display of vendors,
but not collections)
4. How can old LHR links be deleted or suppresses?
5. What is happening with indexing delays, or re-indexing needs, or no
holdings showing up in WCL/Discovery?
6. How can journal article linking be improved?
7. Are records for Book Reviews cluttering up searches for eBooks?
8. What is going on when a vendor has a different number of titles in a
collection?
15. Grouped OCLC number slide
Example:Search for “Theological Bible Commentary
http://fuller.worldcat.org/oclc/810931688 brings up three View
eBook links
The first link is false, sending users to wrong book
Traced the issue on “wrong” Grouped OCN’s. See screenshot:
http://screencast.com/t/Yb2OyePGbR
How are OCNs grouped?
While we report and OCLC fixes specific titles, how is this issue being
addressed globally?
16. What is going on when a vendor has a
different number of titles in a collection?
Download the Kbart file, and a list of ISBNs/titles from a vendor, and
compare.
Excel formula
=IF(COUNTIF($E$1:$E$905,A2)>0,"FOUND","NOT FOUND")
NEED Screen SHOT
17. How can old LHR links be deleted
or suppresses?
If you want to preserve the links, you can you extract LHRs to build
KB collection (see next slide for details)
Contact OCLC support, and they can suppress “view now” links
from LHRs.
