June 8, 2011(Revised slides, June 28, 2011)
Conference 1
What We Will Cover• Genre/Form Terms• Subject headings • Classification• WorldCat, Connexion, and OCLC• SkyRiver • PCC news, including BIBCO and CONSER• Specialist communities• MARC changes• Authority files• RDA• Cataloger’s Desktop• MARC – mostly related to RDA• Open Metadata Registry• Resources
2
Genre/Form Authority Records• May 24, 2011: Authority records for genre/form terms created as part of
LCSH were cancelled and reissued as part of LC Genre/Form Terms for Library and Archival Materials (LCGFT). Approximately 700 records were affected.
• New authority records:– LCCN prefix: gf– 008/11 (Subject heading system/thesaurus): z (Other)– 040 $f: lcgft– Old LCCN (with sh prefix) is in 010 $z
• Access points in bibliographic records– 655 _7 $a [term]. $2 lcgft
www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/gf_lccn.html3
Genre/Form: MARS Authority Control
• Processing using new genre/form authority records– 655 _7 [term] $2 lcgft will be matched against the LCGFT
file– 655 _0 [term] will first be matched against the LCGFT file.
If a match is found, the heading will be corrected if needed (match to 4xx), and MARC will be changed to 655 _7 [term] $2 lcgft
• Headings not matched will be matched against LCSH• Headings still not matched will appear on the
Unmatched Genre/form heading report• http://ac.bslw.com/community/blog/2011/03/lc-genreform-records/

events, titles, time periods, topics, and form/genre• Initial development is complete; headings except for time periods
have been established• Book: FAST: Faceted Application of Subject Terminology: Principles
and Applications / Lois Mai Chan. 2011• FAST database: fast.oclc.org• Used in OCLC FictionFinder and WorldCat Identities• LCSH to FAST conversion prototype: http://fast.oclc.org/lcsh2fast/www.oclc.org/research/activities/fast/default.htm
16
Classification and Subject Heading Weekly Lists
• With list 1121 (June 15, 2011), the frequency of the lists will be monthly
• This doesn’t change the review process for new and change proposals. Tentative lists posted for comments, red marked-up copies of tentative lists, and final approval lists will continue to be posted
• www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/listfreq.html

replaced the alphabetical links that followed classification captions and search results.
• “Help screens have been completely redesigned … and include information on previously undocumented features, such as phrase searching and the use of other Boolean operators ….”
http://classificationweb.net/pipermail/classweb-announce/2011-February/000059.html
20
OCLC News
• OCLC now has Member Services Consultants who are part of a new Member Services team– Goals: discuss priorities; get front-line picture from
members– Eric Forte visited MU in February. Some news he brought:
– OCLC divested itself of most third-party databases– EZproxy is now available from OCLC– WorldCat.org, WorldCat Local, Knowledgebase (working on
lending side), Web-Scale Management Service (cloud-based next-generation ILS), WorldCat APIs,
– First Search will be around a couple more years– Partnerships: EasyBib, Google
21
OCLC Plans• OCLC bib notification: Discussion of enhancements are being planned for
the next FY (after July)• Work record project: Will re-use summaries, contents, subject headings
for identical works• GLIMIR Project: Will link parallel records, reproductions, and other
manifestations– GLIMIR = Global Library Manifestation Identifier– www.oclc.org/multimedia/2009/files/GatenbyJ-Identifiers_GLIMIR.pdf
• Deduplication processing: Working on ways to prevent deduping of records for rare and early printed materials, realia, and photographs
• Major upgrades to Connexion are being planned; other enhancements will slow down

www.oclc.org/connexion/interface/client/enhancements/future.htm
28
When to Input a New Record
• CIP (Elvl 8)• “Variations in field 245, field 260 subfield $c, field 300 and 4xx do
not justify a new record when the Elvl is 8. If the CIP describes the item being cataloged, edit that CIP record to reflect information appearing on the item as published.”
• If RDA record, cannot input an AACR2 record• If AACR2 record, cannot input an RDA record
– unless upgrading a minimal level record• www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/pdf/inputnewrecord.pdf
29
SkyRiver• Bibliographic utility like OCLC• Guiding principle that bibliographic metadata exist within the
public domain• Over 28 million unique titles including the full LC MARC files and
CONSER files…supplemented by public domain metadata from … customer libraries
• Compatible with various ILS • Offers annual subscriptions. There are no access fees or
itemization, just a flat rate annual fee • As of Nov. 17, 2010, “an active NACO node within the Library of
Congress Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC).”http://theskyriver.com/2010/06/faqshttp://theskyriver.com/services

BIBCO Standard Records
•Textual monographs (i.e., books) was first: (Jan. 4, 2010)
•Served as a model for other formats: (Oct. 1, 2010)
•www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/BSR-MAPS.html 31
LC BSR
• LC BSR Supplemental Data Elements:– 008 all fixed fields will be coded– 043 (Geographic area code)– 082 (Dewey Decimal call number), when
applicable– 300 $c (Dimensions)– 504 (Bibliography note)
• www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/lcbsr.html 32
Provider-Neutral E-Monograph MARC Record Guide
• Revised Sept. 2010: www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/PN-Guide.pdf
• Being rewritten so it is less print-centric. Intent is to use them with all formats.
33
Provider Neutral Record – September 2010 changes
• 008/23: use code "o" (online) for form of item• 020:
– Record each e-version ISBN in a separate 020 $a– Record other ISBNs in 020 $z– Copy the print ISBN to field 776 $z
• 246 1_ $i Available from some providers with title: $a [title]
34
Provider Neutral Record – September 2010 changes
• Use 500 for source of title note.• Use 588 for description based on note.
– Description based on print version record• 8xx: Use the print ISSN rather than the online ISSN for series
that exist in print as well as online formats. $x should be the final subfield.
• FAQ: PNR focuses on content and may be used for e-monographs available for downloading from commercial sites
35
CONSER• CONSER Operations Meeting – May 6, 2011
– Multiple Format Linking Group• Issues:
– Not always clear if new format signals cessation of older format– Retrospective digitization means “title change” from previous format may be
misleading– Lack of uniform titles may be confusion for users – can’t tell which title is
which
– Former and Subsequent title fields not in step with FRBR and maybe not RDA
• Recommendations– Only use succeeding (785) and former entry (780) when there is a
title change– Use 776 for different formats, and record the format in $i
36
CONSER• CONSER Operations Meeting – May 6, 2011
– ISSN assignment to digital reproductions of print serials – survey
• ISSN Network is reviewing its policy regarding ISSN assignment to digital reproductions of print serials
• Proposed new rule: Assign a separate ISSN to a digital reproduction of a print serial, whether ceased or current, except when an ISSN has already been assigned to a born digital version of the same serial under the same name, in which case the ISSN of the born digital version should be used.
• Survey conducted (results were due May 13, 2011)

LC: Medical ECIP
• During a trial (July 1-Dec. 31, 2011), LC will cease to assign LCSH and LCC to clinical medical ECIP titles. They will continue to add Dewey Decimal Classification numbers.
• If clinical titles are later added to their permanent collection, they will add LCSH and LCC at that time.
• Reason: staffing.• http://cip.loc.gov/medical_ecips.html

Transforming our Bibliographic Framework: A Statement from the Library of Congress (May 13, 2011)
• The Library of Congress will create a task force to address:• Determine which aspects of current metadata encoding standards should be
retained and evolved into a format for the future. We will consider MARC 21, in which billions of records are presently encoded, as well as other initiatives.
• Experiment with Semantic Web and linked data technologies to see what benefits to the bibliographic framework they offer our community and how our current models need to be adjusted to take fuller advantage of these benefits.
• Foster maximum re-use of library metadata in the broader Web search environment, so that end users may be exposed to more quality metadata and/or use it in innovative ways.
• Enable users to navigate relationships among entities—such as persons, places, organizations, and concepts—to search more precisely in library catalogs and in the broader Internet. We will explore the use of promising data models such as Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) in navigating relationships, whether those are actively encoded by librarians or made discernible by the Semantic Web.
60
Transforming our Bibliographic Framework: A Statement from the Library of Congress (May 13, 2011)
• Explore approaches to displaying metadata beyond current MARC-based systems.
• Identify the risks of action and inaction, including an assessment of the pace of change acceptable to the broader community: will we take incremental steps or take bolder, faster action?
• Plan for bringing existing legacy metadata into new bibliographic systems

RDA: Resource Description & Access
How many of you have created RDA records?
How many of you have them in your catalog?
62
RDA
• U.S. test period ended December 31; national libraries began process to analyze data, and to issue a report with their recommendation regarding the implementation of RDA
• Some libraries have continued to catalog using RDA
• We are all anxiously awaiting the report!
RDA Implementation• "The U.S. national libraries (Library of Congress,
National Agricultural Library, and National Library of Medicine) expect to make an announcement of their decision regarding the implementation of RDA (Resource Description & Access) prior to the ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans. During the Conference, managers and staff from the three libraries and members of the U.S. RDA Test Coordinating Committee will be discussing in detail the announcement and likely next steps, based on the decision.“—forwarded on behalf of Beacher WigginsPCCList (June 3, 2011)
