3. Paper Past, Digital Future: Managing Metadata Standards in Transition
The final videoconference in the OCLC Institute series is scheduled
for this upcoming Wednesday, May 29th from 9 - 11:30 am, in Room
183, Meyer Library. Host of this event is Gary Houk, Vice President,
OCLC Cataloging and Metadata Services. Key speaker will be Dr. Barbara
Tillett, Director, Integrated Library System Program Office, Library
of Congress, followed by practitioners Liz Bishoff, Project Director,
Colorado Digitization Project, and Sam Dempsey, Director, Data Development,
Informata.com (Baker & Taylor). These speakers will address
the countless challenges that library staff face as they integrate
electronic resources into their collections and deliver those resources
to users. Library staff are accustomed to dealing with multiple
standards in their catalogs, including AACR2 for descriptions and
names, MARC 21 for record structure, and Library of Congress Subject
Headings for subjects. Suddenly, many more information standards
are emerging and competing for attention -- Dublin Core, ONIX, EAD,
TEI, and more. Are the tried and true knowledge-organization tools
no longer useful? Can new standards be integrated into existing
catalogs? How can authors and publishers help libraries organize
all types of materials? Come hear the discussion this coming Wednesday!
Please call Angela Wright at 3-2015 to reserve a place if you have
not already done so.
