  1. Cataloging and ProcessingNew Media Susan M. Sutch smsutch@marc-angel.com An Infopeople Workshop Spring 2006

  2. What We Will Cover • MARC cataloging • Metadata tagging • Packaging for security and access

  3. What is New Media? • CD and DVD • Websites • Digital downloads • Electronic resources Electronic communication made possible through the use of computer technology

  4. MARC Cataloging New Media • CD • DVD • Electronic resources • Combined print and electronic formats

  5. 8 MARC Concise FormatsCD / DVD Choices • Computer file • Movies/multimedia • Book On CD/music • Book • Electronic resource • Serial • Mixed • Map • Visual material • Music • Sound recording

  6. Sound recording format Chief source of information Accompanying info Notes MARC Cataloging – Music CD

  7. Visual material format Chief source of information Accompanying info Notes MARC Cataloging - DVD

  8. Electronic Resources Definition Material encoded for manipulation by a computerized device. This material may require use of a peripheral directly connected to a computer (CDROM drive) or a connection to a computer network (Internet). AACR2

  9. Types of Electronic Resources • Websites • Digital collections • Podcasts • CDROM / DVD of computer data

  10. MARC Cataloging Electronic Resources • Leader code • Chief source of information • Extent • Notes • URL

  11. Integrating Resources Electronic or print material that seamlessly updates, often within a calendar day. Can be unknown when the last update was. Examples – (web) Yahoo! website - (print) legal looseleaves

  12. Additional tags 006 856 Notes Combine Print and Electronic Aspects in One MARC Record

  13. 006 Fixed Tag • Use when Leader/06 is other than m • Adds ability to search by both primary material type and electronic resource • Required in OCLC, optional MARC21

  14. 006 Computer File Additions • 006 tag has seventeen positions • To add computer file characteristics • /00 m for computer file • /09 for type of computer file • Unused positions left blank 006 m d 006 [m d ] OCLC

  15. Metadata Tags vs. MARC Tags

  16. Traditional Formats and Access Points • Paper-based and microform-based information resources • Monographs, serials, photographs, etc. • Access provided through local library services • Including ILL

  17. Traditional Cataloging Functions and Access • Acquire material into collection • Describe material using MARC • Manage the collection • Provide access via OPAC / card catalog

  18. New Formats and Access Points • Formats: • web documents, online serials, digital images, digital collections, websites, digital audio and video, born digital material, etc. • Access provided via the web and email

  19. What is metadata? • A neutral term for cataloging without the excess baggage of the AACR2 or the MARC formats (Priscilla Caplan) • Data that facilitates the management, description, and preservation of a digital object or aggregation of digital objects (Judith Cobb)

  20. Metadata Describes • Single item • Collection • Component of collection Any Level of Aggregation

  21. Metadata Can be Stored • Within the digital object or code • html code, headers of image files • Separately • artifacts

  22. Examples of Metadata • Embedded in web page • http://www.apple.com/ • Embedded in digital images • http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/readings/metadatabasics/examples/embeddedimage.htm

  23. Creating Metadata The creation of metadata is governed by a body of standards, best practices and schemas that, when appropriately applied, work together to facilitate the management, description, and preservation of digital objects.

  24. Metadata Standards • Metadata Encoding Transmission Standards (METS) • California Digital Library Digital Image Collection Metadata Standards • http://www.cdlib.org/about/publications/CDLObjectStd-2001.pdf

  25. Metadata Best Practices Western States Dublin Core Metadata Best Practices CDWA (Categories for the Description of Works of Art), Getty http://www.getty.edu/research/institute/standards/cdwa/3_cataloging_examples/index.html

  26. Types of Metadata • Structural • how compound objects are put together • Administrative • how created, file type, access privileges • Descriptive • identification (title, author, abstract)

  27. Descriptive Schemas (Rules) • Dublin Core • web pages • Visual Resources Association • painting,sculpture • Text Encoding Initiative • printed novels, plays

  28. Encoding (Representation) • Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) • Resource Description Framework (RDF) • Extensible Markup Language (XML)

  29. Why is XML so Important? • Non-proprietary method of storing metadata • Being adopted by every major software company that manipulates text data • Power to represent data independent of programming language, platform, or operating system.

  30. MARC vs. XML MARC (librarian only) 245 04 The Sot-Weed Factor XML (information processing) <title><nonfile>The</nonfile>Sot-Weed factor</title>

  31. MARCXML – Library of Congress

  32. Crosswalks • Enable different schemas to communicate with each other

  33. Crosswalks – Mapping Different Schemas

  34. New MediaPackagingand Security Issues and Concerns

  35. New Media Packaging / Security • Individual item • Cases • Sealants • Downloads for burning • Group packaging • Redbox • IMM technology • RFID

  36. Individual Item:Security and Protection • CD/DVD Cases • Coatings • Sealants • Cleaning sprays • Resurface machines

  37. Group Items:Security and Protection • Redbox http://www.redbox.com/ • Self-checkout kiosks • intelligent media management

  38. RFID Security • System that can combine theft-detection and tracking of library materials • Radio-frequency combined with microchip technology • Uses radio waves to identify individual items and to transfer data from a tag to a reader to a database.

  39. Components of RFID system

  40. RFID System Tags

  41. RFID Self Checkout Station

  42. RFID Security • 3 ft detection maximum • Same capture percentage as tattle tape • No detection near metal shelving • Can flag staff with specific item title

  43. RFID • Advantages/disadvantages of RFID • Privacy concerns • Cost/ROI

  44. RFID Processing • Advantages • conversion is fast, can leave barcodes on • individual CD/DVD can be tagged • can check out multiple items at once • Disadvantages • if power goes out, checkout is down • need booster on CD/DVD tag • possible conflict if tag aligned same way

  45. Privacy Concern Myths • Patron info on RFID tag • Government screeners possible with radio devices • Radio waves are dangerous

  46. RFID Cost / ROI • Systems expensive, can’t mix/match vendors • Tags $.50 to $1.50 each • Too new for many ROI studies, estimate up to five years for return on investment • SFPL study on $ cost do to staff repetitive motion injuries - $265,000.00

  47. What We Covered Today • New media definition and formats • MARC cataloging • Metadata vs. MARC • Packaging and security

  48. Last Tag The real question is: How do we together, as a community, move our trusted circle closer to information consumers at the level of their need? OCLC
