  1. Storyboarding user contribution of built numbers Dewey Breakfast/Update ALA Midwinter 21 January 2012 Dallas Michael Panzer Assistant Editor, DDC OCLC panzerm@oclc.org

  2. Motivation • Provide a way for users to save numbers they have built in WebDewey • Personal and institutional built numbers • Provide a way for users to contribute numbers they have built • Components and steps in the number building process should be saved in well-formed 765 fields • Eases editorial evaluation for inclusion in the classification as “official” built numbers • Makes it possible to integrate such numbers into search and display in the local copy of WebDewey • Number building assistant seems best way to ensure validity

  3. Number building assistant: Requirements • Can be used even without intention of saving the number • Parses most add notes and other instructions to guide the user and construct MARC 765 fields in the background at the same time • Component information is used to display how a number was built in a user-friendly way • Helps the user in adding index terms to a saved built number

  9. Feedback? • How could this tool be most helpful? • Do you want a way to build numbers manually (bypassing the assistant), with or without 765 fields? • How should the process of manually creating numbers without using 765 fields work? • Would you still like to save such numbers (including seeing them in the hierarchy)? • How strongly should the user be guided through the number building process? • Migrate numbers currently saved as user comments?
