All Sessions

There is more to Functional Requirements than just FRBR. Come join us to learn more about FRAD and the other FR models from our very knowledgeable presenters, Qiang Jin and Dr. Shawne Miksa.
Qiang Jin is Senior Coordinating Cataloger and NACO Coordinator, Associate Professor of Library Administration at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library. Her presentation will provide a basic explanation of the Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD): A Conceptual Model. It will illustrate the Conceptual Model for Authority Data with specific examples, and explain the FRAD entities, attributes of those entities and relationships between those entities with many specific examples so that attendees will be able to understand the FRAD model. It will include some brief RDA authority records exemplifying the major FRAD relationships.
Dr. Shawne Miksa is an Associate Professor in the Department of Library and Information Sciences and Acting Associate Director of the Interdisciplinary Information Science PhD Program in the College of Information (COI), University of North Texas. In her presentation, Dr. Miska will list and define the 12 user tasks from all three FR Models (FRBR, FRAD, FRSAD) and present her conception of corresponding tasks that an information organizer (cataloger, metadata specialist, etc.) performs to support the user tasks. Most of these tasks are not new to the practice, and Dr. Miska will show how they can be re-cast to correspond with the functionality models.

Meeting of the Subject Analysis Committee subcommittee on RDA to discuss subject related chapters

"Library of Congress Decisions for Copy Cataloging with RDA," Presented by Barbara B. Tillett, Chief Policy & Standards Divison, Library of Congress:

What's a cataloger to do if headings or the entire bibliographic record is coded as RDA? This presentation will review LC decisions for its own staff,and share information about the documentation and training materials that are available on LC's Web page relevant to copy cataloging with RDA.

"CIP Metadata for E-books"

Karl Debus-López, Chief of the U.S. General Division and Acting Chief of the U.S. and Publisher Liaison Division at the Library of Congress, will present information on the Library of Congress’ new pilot project to create cataloging in publication metadata for electronic books that are simultaneously published with their print equivalents. The rationale for providing pre-publication metadata for electronic books will be discussed, as will the scope of the pilot and the process created by the Library of Congress to create the metadata. Library of Congress created CIP e-book pre-publication data for the pilot participants is currently available in OCLC for use by libraries and vendors as a source of copy cataloging.

Please join us for lively table discussions on these topics of current interest:

RDA,
Acquisitions and Serials in Evolution,
Changes in Technical Services staffing, training, and prioritization of workloads as libraries turn their focus increasingly to electronic and digital resources
How do we as managers develop the necessary mindset to lead change as libraries move in new directions?
What are the new skills current cataloging staff will need in the next few years and how can we provide training for them?
DDA, social tagging, and other end-user driven trends affecting our work. What are the implications for the future of tech services?

Update on plans for RDA implementation, Bibliographic Framework Transition, and other intiatives

As more resources are indexed online and as more researchers begin their quest in a digital environment, unique local collections and institutional repositories play an ever more important role. The development of standards for these materials and ensuring their long-term preservation is crucial. Please join the Standards Committee and the Holdings Committee to learn more about RDA for Non-MARC testers. Discover how the PIRUS2 project (Publisher and Institutional Repository Usage Statistics) is enabling the recording and reporting of articles hosted by aggregators or in repositories. Learn how preservation standards can ensure the long-term protection of digital collections.

Panelists will outline key cataloging changes related to RDA and steps being taken in preparation for implementation sometime after January 2013. Although there is at least a year before wide scale implementation of RDA, changes are already impacting workflow and data exchange.

In an effort to economize on speakers and room space and to add emphasis to this topic CaMMS is foregoing its Friday Forum to join with the TF in presenting this RDA Forum.

Scheduled presenters include: Beacher Wiggins (Library of Congress), Linda Barnhart (Chair PCC), Glenn Patton (OCLC), Sally McCallum (MARBI) and Troy Linker (ALA Publishing).

Eyeing the Future: What's on the Horizon for NACO?
Panel discussion on current and future developments of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging's Name Authority Cooperative (PCC NACO). Topics include the move to RDA and the exchange of authority data between NACO and other information environments. Open to PCC members and all interested parties. Panelists:
Paul Frank, Library of Congress, Co-Chair of PCC Standing Committee on Training;
Phil Schreur, Stanford University, PCC Chair-elect, Chair of the PCC Task Group on Acceptable Headings;
Laura Smart, California Institute of Technology, Author of blog “Managing Metadata”; Moderator: Linda Barnhart, University of California-San Diego, PCC Chair
