<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<b>Decisions, Decisions: How to Determine the Appropriate Method of Cataloging Special Collections in the 21st Century<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many academic libraries are examining and finding different ways to make collections visible and accessible. How do librarians/catalogers determine what method is appropriate for materials to be cataloged or made available? When do we use
batch loading and when do we use traditional cataloging? When do we create OCLC records or minimal records in the local ILS? I will examine some of the questions to ask and look at the ways we are making determinations for projects at my institution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Ethical Concerns in Cataloging<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Catalogers employ classification schemes, controlled vocabularies, and name authority files to support the discovery of information resources. However, metadata standards are not neutral; value judgments are hard-coded into these standards.
Are we aware of the biases that are built into the metadata standards we use? How do catalogers counter unconscious bias in our metadata decisions? In an interactive guided discussion, presenters will share examples and emerging best practices and discuss
the perils of implicit bias in a linked data environment. Participants are encouraged to submit their questions and ethical cataloging dilemmas before the presentation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>InDiPres: Distributed Digital Preservation for the Hoosier State<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Libraries digitize rare and unique materials to improve access and to “preserve” the originals by creating digital surrogates for use by patrons both remotely and on site. These digital representations and other born-digital files are far
more vulnerable to loss than their paper-based counterparts. The cost of preserving digital files is frequently beyond the means of small and mid-sized institutions. This presentation discusses Indiana Digital Preservation (InDiPres) as a collaborative approach
by Indiana cultural memory organizations to provide low cost and secure storage in the MetaArchive Cooperative’s distributed digital preservation network.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Using OmekaS for Linked Data<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Technical services departments and special collections are partnering to explore cutting edge technology for digital description and curation. Linked Open Data (LOD) is one technology that offers a new way to describe and present materials
using uniform resource identifiers (URI) and triples to establish relationships between items. Finding tools to leverage LOD can be hard for smaller institutions or institutions with limited technical knowledge or support. Our institution has started using
OmekaS, a new version of the popular digital publishing platform for a LOD project; staff members will discuss their experiences working with this technology to enhance collection access.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Using Product Owners to Move a Project Forward<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During a recent redesign of the Hesburgh Libraries’ website, product owners, a component of Agile Software Development, played a key role. This project involved many stakeholders from across the organization, but originally lacked a clear
owner. After POs were added to the project, they served as the main communication point between the team and the web developers, and did the majority of the user acceptance testing, a process to determine if the website was meeting the goals outlined. In this
presentation, we will describe the benefits of having product owners, particularly having product owners from different parts of the organization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What is ‘Other’? Documenting the Use of MARC 368 $c in Personal Name Authority Records<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The amount and type of information that librarians record about a person in personal name authority records has changed significantly under RDA. Authority records now regularly contain MARC fields designating a person’s occupation, field
of activity, affiliations, and even gender. While some of these RDA elements are self-explanatory and easily accommodated in MARC, there is one category that remains ambiguous: ‘Other Designation Associated with Person’. In an attempt to shed light on the
meaning of ‘other’, Thomas Whittaker will present original research surveying the current usage of MARC 368 $c for personal name authority records in the LC/NACO Authority File.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Xposing the Archives<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Xavier University began using the OhioLINK EAD finding aid creation tool in 2012. The Archives Librarian and Cataloging Librarian worked through the processes in coding of the EAD fields, which would allow for conversion to MARC record
data for cataloging and visibility in the library’s public catalog (XPLORE). In 2016, the library hired a new Archives Librarian and the EAD to MARC conversion project grew as the Archives Librarian began reviewing archival collections, tackling new processing
projects, and strategizing to enhance user self-sufficiency. In this presentation, Daphne & Anne will discuss their work on this project of review, and the strategies they used to make the process to request and gain access for use of archival materials more
streamlined, visible, & user friendly. The results of the project will be evaluated in spring 2018 by a first year seminar class on Xavier University history that requires students to locate archival material using the library catalog.<o:p></o:p></p>
