SPEAKERS AND PRESENTATIONS
Regina Romano Reynolds
Regina Romano Reynolds is ISSN Coordinator at the
Library of Congress and former head of the
National Serials Data Program, now called the
U.S. ISSN Center. She has been trying to tame
various e-serials beasts since the late 1980’s
when they first began to seek ISSN. She
co-chairs an internal LC group coordinating the
development of projects related to the
recommendations of LC’s Working Group on the
Future of Bibliographic Control and is a member
of the U.S. National Libraries RDA Test Steering
Committee. Reynolds was the 1999 recipient of the
Bowker/Ulrich=s Serials Librarian Award and 2004
winner of the NASIG’s Marcia Tuttle International
Grant. Reynolds has an A.M.L.S. (Beta Phi Mu) from the University of Michigan.
Taming the E-Serials Beast: Challenges and Solutions
Serials have been crucial in the chain of
scholarly communication since at least 1665 when
the first scholarly journals were
published. And, for all of that time they have
been presenting challenges as well: their title
changes, numbering peculiarities, mergers,
splits, supplements, translations, serials within
series within serials, and other beastly
behaviors have caused serialists to take refuge
in organizations like CONSER and NASIG where they
at least can share the misery--and the mystique!
These challenges pale in comparison to the
emergence in the 1980’s of online serialsreally
scary beasts the likes of which had never been
seen before. This presentation will briefly
review the development of e-serials and how some
of the early challenges were met. The main focus
will be on several of the most pressing
challenges that e-serials present in the area of
bibliographic control, together with existing or
emerging solutions. Many of the solutions are
based on librarians interacting with others in
the serials supply chain--especially publishers
and aggregators--to help tame this new beast.
Topics to be covered:
Past challenges: a brief review of the
development of e-serials and how early challenges were met.
Current challenges: including the presentation of
bibliographic information on
e-serials: development of a possible NISO best
practice; the problems caused by earlier titles
being listed in aggregations under the current
title: development of a possible NISO best
practice; “multiple versions” (issues such as how
many records? single vs. multiple records;
Linking ISSN; xISSN; will FRBR help?). Also:
KBART and OpenURL; and transfer of serials and
aggregations from one publisher to another (Project Transfer).
Future challenges: the presentation will conclude
with some personal reflections on the future of
serials and their bibliographic control.
Susan Merrill Banoun
Susan is the Cataloging Unit Head for the Serials
and Electronic Resources Department at the
University of Cincinnati (since 2005). She is
responsible for cataloging serials in all
formats, cataloging and managing electronic
resources including record loads. Previously she
worked as a cataloger at the Health Sciences
Library at UC, and at the Campbell County
(Kentucky) Public Library, doing cataloging,
selection, acquisitions, and even some reference
desk duties. Susan graduated from The Ohio State
University with a BS in Education, and she has a
MSLS from the University of Kentucky.
Catch a Tiger by its Tail?: The Challenges of Cataloging Electronic Resources
What to catalog, when to catalog, and how to
catalog electronic resources? The traditional
methods of acquiring and cataloging print
materials, and the tools we use, the what, when,
how? for description and access have always been
fairly straight forward. Electronic resources are
a whole different animal and do not neatly fit in
with the traditional processes, tools, systems
and methods for cataloging. From using full MARC
21 records in the library catalog, to using
vendor MARC records, alone or with coverage loads
and an ERM system, description and access is
changing drastically. Some of the challenges and
opportunities we are managing at the University
of Cincinnati will be shared with a focus on
trying to make good choices that will best
benefit users in finding information.
Barbara S. Dunham
Barbara Dunham is the Serials & Electronic
Resources Librarian at The Ohio State
University. She is responsible for the
acquisition of print and electronic continuations
as well as the management, licensing, and access
of electronic resources. Prior to becoming the
Serials & Electronic Resources Librarian, she
held positions as Catalog Coordinator for Western
Languages and Serials Cataloger at Ohio State.
She is an active member of the American Society
for Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T) and
is currently Past-Chair of the Central Ohio
Chapter of ASIS&T. Barbara holds an M.L.I.S.
from Kent State University and an M.A.T. from Indiana University in Biology.
E-Serials Are Like Herding Cats
Since the advent of the electronic serials, the
management and access of them soon became a
common topic. While processes have evolved to
help with these issues, the management and access
of them still remain as challenges. The Ohio
State University Libraries face these issues
daily just as other institutions do. This
presentation discusses some of the challenges
faced by the Libraries and ways of handling them.
Deberah England
Deberah England is the Electronic Resources
Librarian at Wright State University. In this
position, she is responsible for acquiring,
licensing, troubleshooting, and managing over
85,000 e-resources. With over fifteen years
experience working with serials and e-resources,
Deberah has published, lectured at university
classes, and presented on the topics of serials
and e-resources at national and regional conferences and workshops.
Welcome to the jungle: e-beasts and the quest to cage them
PAMS, knowledge bases and third-party hosts are
just a few of the e-beasts in the e-resources
supply chain jungle. Meet the rest of the beasts
and learn about some “big-game” initiatives to manage them.
Yuezeng Shen
Yuezeng Shen is Head of Cataloging, Cleveland
State University. She previously worked as
Catalog Librarian/Authority Control at Colonial
Williamsburg Foundation Library and as Librarian
at NASA Lewis Research Center Library. She received her MLS from SUNY-Albany.
Electronic Serials: Collaborative Management Across Departments
Cleveland State University Library does not have
a dedicated position for electronic resources
management. Rather, librarians, staff and student
assistants from Acquisition, Cataloging, and
Automation engage in the collaborative
development of e-serials management, using a
traditional ILS with separate access to
electronic journal articles, archival
collections, image collections, etc. E-resources
management impacts the work in different units in
the library. Our responsibilities in library
services in general are changing because of
technological advancements. Our usage statistics
indicate that our current model is effective even
with its limitations, such as inconvenience with
multi searching engines for library patrons,
manual usage statistics, etc. This talk will
discuss how we set up licenses for electronic
materials and how we provide and maintain the access to these materials.
