Knowing your Audience : User centered data dictionary building

Data dictionaries help specify rules and standards to use when cataloging digital objects. The creation of an effective data dictionary may define how accessible objects in your collection will be. In addition to the inclusion of common data elements, the successful development of controlled vocabularies and descriptive metadata are often the result of collaboration between subject specialists or experts and metadaticians. The UO Libraries has built avariety of digital collections including photographs, art images, ,historic manuscripts, sheet music, ephemera, serials, and mixed collections. We will discuss how to decide on the best approach to create a data dictionary that fits the needs of you and your users.

New Developments in Genre/Form Access

3 PDF files derived from PowerPoint presentations given at the OLA 2009 Conference.  Speakers are Lori Robare (Introduction and Context), Adam Schiff (Genre Headings and Authorities in the University of Washington Libraries Catalog), and Rebecca Belford (Form/Genre Access to Musical Works).

Many Library of Congress Subject Headings represent what materials are rather than what they are about, especially in the areas of literature, film, and music. Authority records for form/genre terms and use of the MARC 21 655 field provide new opportunities for access to form/genre headings in the library catalog. This program will introduce general form/genre issues, provide information on the Library of Congress form/genre project, and explore implications for libraries especially in the areas of film and music.
