Abstract

Preparing for new cataloging such as metadata beyond MARC and thesauri beyond LCSH, is an exciting and daunting challenge for university libraries. Advancing technologies, as well as a growing demand for quality information with rapid access is fueling the need for technical services departments to restructure their work to accommodate the evolving world of information management. Catalogers who have been following the same procedures and practices for many years may find this change particularly difficult. Team leaders are often faced with breaking through skepticism and resistance to this new work in order to enable necessary progress. We found that discussions and gradual introduction of new directions is important to acceptance by team members. However, just as important is the implementation of an action plan to ensure that progress is ongoing. Reengineering Acquisitions and Cataloging into Current Processes and Information Management Initiatives, along with forming several focus groups to investigate and evaluate cataloging work, is proving successful for embracing new cataloging at Tufts University.

Abstract

In 1971 the eminent American scholar G. Thomas Tanselle wrote: "the day has not yet come when one can learn anything of a library's holdings of jackets by consulting its catalogue." Forty-four years later, library catalogs still do not allow that. Book-jackets, whose "original sin" is their being physically separate from the book, are nevertheless essential documents for the history of publishing. This article aims to show the necessity for access to the information about a single book's book-jacket directly from the library catalog; it considers the reasons why catalogers usually "distrust" book-jackets; and it aims to determine whether there is any change in attitude about taking book-jackets into account in cataloging.

Abstract

Libraries are currently seeking to restructure their services and develop new cataloguing standards to position themselves on the web, which has become the main source of information and documents. The current upheaval within the profession is accompanied by the belief that libraries have a major role to play in identifying and supplying content due to their extensive high quality databases, which remain untapped despite efforts to increase catalog performance. They continue to rely on a strategy that has been proven successful since the mid-nineteenth century while seeking other models for their data. Today, they aim to exploit changes brought about by the web to improve content identification. The current intense debate on RDA implementation mirrors this desire for change. The debate is rooted in past efforts and yet tries to incite radical changes as it provides for interoperability from the creation of records through an object modeling in line with web standards and innovations. These innovations are presented through an historical perspective inspired by writings by librarians who are entrusted with helping in the development of bibliographic description standards.

Abstract

Presents an outline of a cataloguing strategy that might be adopted for the with reference to how such a strategy is being implemented at the British Library. The first stage has involved cooperation with US libraries and future plans are linked to cooperation with European libraries. Such developments involve countries with different languages and different cataloguing cultures and so present many challenges. Discusses the skills required by staff needed to implement the cataloguing strategy

Abstract

After a long delay the final edition of RAK has been published. The old university libraries have suffered for years from using the Prussian Instructions which are obsolete and time-consuming; they have hesitated to give their old catalogues up but should do so as soon as possible. A new cataloguing policy is now needed, moving away from traditional practices that still govern even RAK towards simplified rules suitable for future developments such as use in centralised regional catalogues and in automated data processing. Simplified rules are proposed and discussed in relation to American and British minimal cataloguing, with suggestions for changes in basic terminology, general rules, main and subordinate entries, personal name and corporate body entries and subject headings

Abstract

Advances in computer and communication technology technology have had an important impact on OPACs. The client server architecture model, the Internet, protocols, and standards such as Z39.50 have resulted in newly designed interfaces which reduce syntactic and semantic knowledge required to conduct effective online searches. Experimental OPACs have been developed in an attempt to assist users in conceptual transformation of their information needs into searchable queries. These experiments are based primarily on determining users' behaviour at the OPAC terminal, which needs much further study. Other non traditional models for storing and retrieving information should be considered to create an intuitive OPAC

Abstract

Mobilen Technologien wird von Bibliotheken bisher kaum Beachtung geschenkt. Und das, obwohl keine Technologie jemals zuvor so schnell und in so großem Umfang angenommen wurde wie die mobile Kommunikation. Weltweit existieren mittlerweile fast vier Milliarden Mobiltelefonverträge. Allein in Deutschland sind etwa 100 Millionen Mobiltelefone im Umlauf; das sind über 15 Prozent mehr Mobiltelefone als die Anzahl der Einwohner Deutschlands. Schon heute gibt es weltweit mehr internetfähige Mobiltelefone als Computer mit Internetanschluss. In Deutschland nutzen derzeit bereits 35 Prozent der vom Bundesverband Digitale Wirtschaft (BVDW) Befragten regelmäßig das mobile Internet, weitere 21 Prozent möchten es innerhalb des nächsten Jahres nutzen. Prognosen erwarten bis zum Jahr 2015 eine Steigerung von 300 Prozent. The Pew Internet & American Life Project geht im Bericht »The Future of the Internet III« sogar davon aus, dass im Jahr 2020 das Internet weltweit hauptsächlich über das Mobiltelefon genutzt und zugänglich sein wird. Regina Pfeifenberger hat sich in ihrer Masterarbeit mit dem Thema mobile Opacs beschäftigt und fasst im Folgenden ihre Ergebnisse zusammen.

Abstract

Library specialists in the cataloging and metadata professions have a greater purpose than simply managing information and connecting users to resources. There is a deeper and more profound impact that comes of their work: preservation of the human record. Conversations with Catalogers in the 21st Century contains four chapters addressing broad categories of issues that catalogers and metadata librarians are currently facing. Every important topic is covered, such as changing metadata practices, standards, data record structures, data platforms, and user expectations, providing both theoretical and practical information. Guidelines for dealing with present challenges are based on fundamentals from the past. Recommendations on training staff, building new information platforms of digital library resources, documenting new cataloging and metadata competencies, and establishing new workflows enable a real-world game plan for improvement.

Mit der Ankündigung einer "Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records" hat OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) in der angelsächsischen Bibliothekswelt eine lebhafte Diskussion hervorgerufen. Im deutschsprachigen Raum hat die geplante Policy allerdings bisher sehr wenig Resonanz gefunden. Ein Grund mag darin liegen, dass OCLC in Europa (noch) deutlich weniger Gewicht hat als in den USA. Sicher hätte das Inkrafttreten einer OCLC-Metadaten-Policy (ganz gleich, wie sie ausgestaltet sein mag) weitreichende Auswirkungen auf das weltweite Bibliothekswesen. Eine Beschäftigung mit dem Thema ist also mehr als angebracht. Dieser Artikel dient dem Zweck, den Stand der Diskussion im angelsächsischen Raum wiederzugeben und einen Einblick in die verschiedenen Aspekte der Auseinandersetzung zu geben.

"Hintergründe Das Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) mit Sitz in Dublin (Ohio) präsentiert sich als eine Non-Profit-Mitgliederorganisation, "die sich im öffentlichen Interesse für den breiteren, computergestützten Zugang zum weltweiten Wissen und die Senkung der damit verbundenen Kosten einsetzt." Im globalen Maßstab ist OCLC die größte Organisation im Bibliothekswesen, mit knapp 70.000 Mitgliedsbibliotheken in über 100 Ländern . Das Fundament von OCLC bildet der WorldCat, dessen Konzept dem eines Verbundkatalogs entspricht: eine bibliografische Online-Datenbank für die gemeinsame Katalogisierung, in der auch die Bestandsdaten der beteiligten Bibliotheken erfasst sind. Auf dieser Datenbank baut eine große Zahl der OCLC-Dienstleistungen auf, seien dies Katalogisierungs- und Metadatendienste, Recherchewerkzeuge für Endnutzer, Fernleihdienste oder Bestandsanalyse- und -managementwerkzeuge. Für die Teilnahme am WorldCat sowie die Fremddatenübernahme aus dem WorldCat berechnet OCLC den Mitgliedsinstitutionen nicht unbeträchtliche Summen. Die Einnahmen aus WorldCat-Gebühren und Fremddatendiensten machen mehr als ein Drittel der Gesamteinnahmen OCLCs aus: Im Steuerjahr 2007/2008 betrugen die Einnahmen OCLCs aus Metadatendiensten nach Unternehmensangaben 85,8 Millionen US-$. Das sind knapp 35% der Gesamteinnahmen von 246,4 Millionen US-$ im selben Jahr.6 Man kann OCLC also ein großes finanzielles Interesse daran unterstellen, diesen Datenpool weiterhin unter eigener Kontrolle zu halten, damit die gewohnten Gewinnströme nicht versiegen. Vor diesem Hintergrund nimmt es nicht wunder, dass OCLC versucht eine Policy einzuführen, welche die Geldströme auch in Zukunft sichern soll. Mit der Ankündigung dieser rechtsverbindlichen Regelung hat OCLC Anfang November 2008 die Gemüter kritischer Bibliothekare und von Open-Data-Verfechtern erhitzt. Viele Passagen der Policy erwecken den Eindruck, dass sich OCLC ein Monopol auf die WorldCat-Daten sichern will und Konkurrenz auszuschalten versucht. Die Reaktionen - besonders in der US-amerikanischen Blogosphäre - waren harsch, wodurch bereits einige Änderungen der Policy erreicht worden sind. Mitte Januar hat OCLC nun als Erwiderung auf die vehemente Kritik den geplanten Termin des Inkrafttretens der Policy nach hinten verlegt: von Mitte Februar auf das Dritte Quartal 2009. Mit dem Review "Board of Shared Data Creation and Stewardship" hat OCLC zudem ein Gremium einberufen, das indessen mit OCLC-Mitgliedern und anderen Beteiligten in Kontakt treten soll, um den Policy-Entwurf zu überarbeiten."
