Please join the ALCTS CRS Holdings Information Committee at the ALA
Annual Conference in Las Vegas on *Saturday, June 28th* from *3:00-4:00
p.m. in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Room S229*. We have three
presentations demonstrating three different perspectives on the
manipulation and use of holdings data:
*MarcEdit and OCLC Integration*
Terry Reese, the developer of the MarcEdit software program, will
discuss MarcEdit and current integration opportunities, focusing on the
new OCLC Metadata API service. He will demonstrate how MarcEdit has been
able to utilize that service to provide deep integration to support
direct and local bibliographic editing of WorldCat data directly within
MarcEdit, as well as support batch holdings management through the
interface. The presentation will discuss the current capabilities, some
gaps, and how interested individuals could get started.
*BIBFRAME, ISSN, and the Future of Serials*
Regina Reynolds, Coordinator, U.S. ISSN Center, Library of Congress
shares her thoughts about the ISSN and the future of serials description
and access as we transition from MARC21 to BIBFRAME. The future of the
ISSN is intimately bound to the future of CRs. How are these resources
changing, and what are some impacts of those changes? The presentation
will include a high-level view of changes in continuing resources,
challenges faced by BIBFRAME in modeling serials, and an introduction of
a model for serials, PRESSoo, developed by the ISSN International Centre
and the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Some potential benefits of a
linked data approach to serials and other continuing resources will also
be presented.
*The AUDITOR and holdings verification*
Josh Pyle, CTO and President of Dublin Six, will discuss holdings
verification through the use of The AUDITOR software package. Installed
on an institution's network, The Auditor passively monitors all network
traffic and makes libraries aware of every form of content that is being
used and presents this information in COUNTER-style reports. The
Auditor's reports include content from every publisher on every
platform, and content from open access or free information sources.
Sophisticated click-stream analysis infers library holdings in
real-time. Unexpected access denials, including broken links, are
detected immediately.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Kind regards,
Danielle Westbrook on behalf of the ALCTS CRS Holdings Information Committee
