Programs:

1) Incorporating Batch Cataloging of MARC Record Sets into the Work of 
the Metadata Services Dept. (MSD) at College Park

Description of presentation: The presenters will discuss the work and 
skill sets of the MSD staff members who participated in training and 
learning to use MarcEdit for batch cataloging of record sets; how the 
training was performed; where we are now; and how we expect to move 
forward as rapid technological changes continue to drive the work of 
library technical services.

(Beth Guay and Donna King, UMCP)



2) Ebooks ad DOIs: Where We’re at and Where We Might Go

Description of presentation: The development of Digital Object 
Identifiers, how they are used currently, and some of the possibilities 
for using them with eBooks will be discussed.

(Tiffany Wilson, UMBC)



3) The Changing Landscape of Electronic Resources Work Flows: Pictures 
from TWO USMAI Libraries

Description of presentation: Organization of electronic resources 
workflow is critical in the increasingly complex world of library 
management. The way in which this management process is structured 
differs according to the type of library and organizational structure 
within. A common goal, though, is strategically sustaining access and 
availability to electronic resources over time and the effective 
management of the library staff that maintains them. We will discuss how 
we approach electronic resources management (ERM) from different vantage 
points. Lenore (England, UMUC and Kelly Shipp, UMBC)



4) One Home for Your Electronic Resources Management

Description of presentation: An overview of Serials Solutions 360 
Resource Manager and Demonstration of A-Z list created through 360 will 
be presented.

(Susan Wheeler and Michael Schochet, UBalt)



5) WorldCat Knowledge Base Implementation Issues

Description of presentation: The WorldCat Knowledge Base allows OCLC 
member libraries to load their e-journal and database holdings into one 
central location. Once loaded, the WorldCat Knowledge Base provides 
direct links to articles for libraries using ILLiad or WorldCat Resource 
Sharing, as well as enhanced features in WorldCat Local. OCLC is also 
exploring other uses for the Knowledge Base, including an A-to-Z journal 
index. OCLC provides two different methods for adding content to the 
Knowledge base: loading holdings into PubGet using admin logins or 
uploading holdings from a local link resolver (SFX). We will be 
discussing both methods of implementing the WorldCat Knowledge base and 
some of the issues encountered during implementation.
(Marlene Vikor, UMCP and Janet Hack, UMBC)
