OCLC Language Sets provide libraries with pre-selected multilingual book and DVD collections at discounted prices to help build collections for non-English speaking communities. The sets include OCLC MARC records and can be customized to meet specific language or subject needs. Promotional materials are also available to help libraries promote their multilingual collections. Custom Collections allow libraries to work directly with OCLC to acquire additional titles beyond the pre-selected Language Sets.

OCLC Language Sets is an easy and inexpensive way to build your multilingual collections with fiction and non-fiction books, videos and DVDs. Language Sets offers pre-selected sets of current popular materials in 17 languages - Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Gujarati, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Malayalam, Marathi, Panjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu and Vietnamese. The Custom Collection option lets you design a collection based on your library users’ specific needs. You receive the most current and popular titles, full-level MARC records for each title, plus free shipping and cataloging. Your new holdings are added to the WorldCat database of shared records from libraries around the world, which means your users will be able to find library materials on the Web through familiar sites such as Yahoo! Search and Google. Language-specific posters and bookmarks are included to help you promote your non-English resources. Libraries who wish to order Language Sets do not have to be members of OCLC. The sets are available to both OCLC member and nonmember libraries. Attend this session to see an overview of Language Set content, delivery options, pricing and information about how you can create your own custom collections. Presented by Christa Burns as the NEBASE Hour on October 10, 2007.

Closing the language gap: developing machine learning tools to detect the lan...

CILIP MDG

Presentation from MDG 2020 online conference. Presentation abstract: Aims The purpose of this paper is twofold: 1. To describe how the British Library used machine learning techniques to automatically assign language codes to catalogue records, as part of ongoing metadata enhancement work; 2. To demonstrate that it is possible to undertake machine learning tasks using commonly-available computers and software. The project The project itself arose from the identification of a ‘language gap’ between the British Library’s current cataloguing practice and the quality of its legacy metadata: as of October 2018, 30% of legacy records were lacking language codes. The intention was to develop automated language identification tools which could assign language codes to catalogue records, in order to provide information about the languages of content of the resources described. In the first phase of the project, language codes were assigned to 1.15 million records with 99.7% confidence, and it is intended that approximately 4 million legacy records will eventually be enhanced in this way. The work has been well-received by Library patrons and staff, who have been able to use the additional language coding to better understand the collection, and to identify curatorial responsibilities. Themes of the paper The paper will cover: 1. A brief introduction to machine learning in this context, outlining what it encompasses, and how it might realistically be employed in the library/bibliographic context – for example, in metadata enhancement or cleaning of legacy data; 2. A definition of the problem of language identification: the process of determining the natural language in which a given piece of text is written; 3. Various approaches to tackling the problem of language identification, including linguistic and statistical modelling, and the advantages and disadvantages of these; 4. Particular challenges posed by the bibliographic/library context, including the number of languages to consider – there are nearly 500 MARC language codes – and the fact that the data to be analysed are text strings extracted from catalogue records, often less than 200 characters in length; 5. The statistical model developed as part of the project, focusing on features of the model which make it appropriate for its intended usage, rather than on the details of statistical analysis or computer programming; 6. Suggested skills, techniques and tools applicable to projects of this nature; 7. An overview of lessons learnt, and the implications that these might have for future work in the same area, or for other metadata enhancement projects.

NCompass Live: Program Planning with a Marketing Mindset

Nebraska Library Commission

NCompass Live - April 10, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library. Presenter: Cordelia Anderson, Library Marketing and Communications Consultant, Cordelia Anderson Consulting.

NCompass Live: Winning Grants for Your Library Programming

Nebraska Library Commission

NCompass Live - March 13, 2024 While every library is unique, they all seem to share one thing in common: they could use more money! Grant funding might be the just thing to help buy technology for STEM programming, get a new service initiative off the ground, or complete a renovation. But applying for grants can be overwhelming – and that’s assuming you can even find one for which you qualify. This session aims to introduce you to the tools to make the grant application process more easily navigable. In this session, Kathryn will provide tips for putting your best foot forward when it comes time to submit your proposal. Handouts include a roadmap to success and descriptions of various sections of the application. Presenter: Kathryn Brockmeier, Grant Consultant.

NCompass Live: Auditing Library Websites

Nebraska Library Commission

NCompass Live - January 17, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention. Presenter: Laura Solomon, MCIW, MLS is the Library Services Manager for the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN). She has been doing web development and design for more than twenty years, in both public libraries and as an independent consultant. She specializes in developing with Drupal. She is a 2010 Library Journal Mover & Shaker. She's written three books about social media and content marketing, specifically for libraries, and speaks nationally on both these and technology-related topics. As a former children's librarian, she enjoys bringing the "fun of technology" to audiences and in giving libraries the tools they need to better serve the virtual customer.
