Cataloguing Session Libraries Australia Forum 2011
Developments CBS – the LA cataloguing system improvements: • MARC21 changes up until end of 2010 • Better matching and merging • Transliteration of Devanagari, Georgian and Tamil scripts and improvements in display and import of these scripts and Thai • Further refinements to the Duplicate Detection and Removal script
Developments Record Import Service (RIS) • OAI –PMH harvesting to RIS • Upload of Authority records via RIS
Developments Global holdings Update service and manual reviewing • Two types of manual reviewing: • Tentative matches from records uploaded via RIS • Tentative matches from Global Holdings Refreshes • Review of Global Holdings Update practices
Developments • Outcome of review: stop manual reviewing after holdings refreshes • Instead, focus on: • Improving match / merge algorithm • Improving data quality in refresh files
Developments • Result of decision to stop holdings refresh reviewing: • Enables us to keep up-to-date with RIS reviewing • Allows us to put more resources into improving data quality before records are loaded to the ANBD
Developments Holdings Deletion Trial Outcome: • Good records = high rate of matches and few valid holdings lost • Brief records = risk of more valid holdings being lost and mad merges Duplicate detection and removal (DDR)
The coming year • CBS software and configuration upgrades • Linking of bibliographic and authority records • Detailed holdings in WorldCat • Table of Contents – record enrichment
The coming year • SRU Update • Working with OCLC on SRU update transmission with Amlib systems • Resource Description and Access (RDA) • LA is preparing CBS to support RDA records • RDA will become LA standard for description • LA will continue to support AACR2 records
The coming year • Data maintenance • Further improvement to duplicate detection and removal scripts • Batch loading of authority records • Linking of bib and authority records • Assisting libraries wanting to upload special collections and unique materials
