  3. User Research

  4. Problem: • User research is of limited value if a library doesn’t have control over its discovery environment • Our solution: • Develop our own software (eXtensible Catalog) • Offer a modular architecture (4 “toolkits”) • Build in tons of configurability • Use established standards and protocols • Give it away (open source)

  5. XC User Research Approach • What articles, books and other resources had researchers used most recently? • How did they know the items existed? • How did they obtain them? • How did they use them? • How do they keep current in their fields?

  6. User Research Findings • Users want to choose between versions of a resource, see relationships between resources • Underlying XC metadata is based on FRBR model: works, expressions, manifestations, etc. • Use some RDA data elements in FRBR structure • Metadata services to aggregate/group FRBR entities in the User Interface

  7. User Research Findings • Users have preferred material and format types, depending upon their projects • Show online materials only • Exclude microforms • Users want to know why items appear on a search result list • Show keywords in context

  8. Acting on User Research Findings

  9. XC: “Taking Control” of metadata More Control over Metadata More Options for Customizing the User Interface

  10. XC Schema DCMI • Dublin Core terms (all) • RDA – subset of elements and role designators • XC elements (newly-defined) – when necessary to contain MARC vocabularies, linking fields, etc. RDA XC
