Rocking the Metaverse: A/V Cataloging in a Web X.0 Environment
presented by LYNNE HOWARTH
The keynote will focus on what has happened over the past 10 years, as digitization and the growth in electronic media has driven major changes in the way we manage A/V materials. For example, the emergence of digital multimedia was a catalyst for rethinking cataloguing codes/standards (AACR), for fostering the development of metadata schemas and applications, for inspiring innovative uses of so-called "traditional" tools, such as classification systems, and for challenging fundamental ideas of who /does /A/V cataloguing. If ten years ago, A/V materials and their cataloguing had moved from orphan child to Cinderella, in the ten years since, both have moved, metaphorically, from fantasy world princess to metaverse avatar. Or, more concretely, from "non-book" channel to digital mainstream.

ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
presented by AMY WEISS
The Electronic Resources Workshop will be a primer on how to get started with electronic resources cataloging. All the basic rules and the method of choosing the correct MARC format for an electronic resource will be discussed. Using the methodology discussed in this workshop, a cataloger should be able to create an accurate descriptive record for any type of electronic resource.
FORM / GENRE HEADINGS
presented by JANIS YOUNG
In early 2007 the Library of Congress initiated an experiment to develop a system of genre/form headings (MARC 21 tag 155), which describe what a work is, as opposed to what it is about. To date, hundreds of headings in the areas of moving images (film, television programs, and video recordings) and radio programs have been approved. Two Subject Cataloging Manual instruction sheets have also been published in support of the headings: H 1913 for moving image genre/form headings, and H 1969.5 for radio programs. Other projects, including that for music genre/form headings, are in the discussion stages.
In this session, attendees will learn about the history and current status of the genre/form project at the Library of Congress, with emphasis on policies for the use of moving image and radio program genre/form headings.
INTEGRATING RESOURCES WORKSHOP
presented by JOSEPH HINGER
An overview and
identification of integrating resources with a focus on cataloging integrating
resources in various formats and reviewing all the fixed & variable fields
that are used. Practical examples will be given throughout the presentation,
with emphasis on electronic integrating resources. Questions and discussion
from attendees are welcome as this is the newest area of cataloging and
the rules are constantly changing in conjunction with the electronic environment.
If there is time at the end of the presentation, examples and attendee situations
can be presented for discussion by the group, to see possible cataloging outcomes.
This presentation is suitable for all levels of catalogers.
METADATA for AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS and ITS ROLE in DIGITAL PROJECTS
presented by JENN RILEY
The maze of non-MARC metadata formats can be formidable, even for the experienced cataloger. This workshop will introduce the key metadata formats applicable to audiovisual materials and describe the circumstances in which each is most useful. Descriptive metadata, technical metadata, and structural metadata will be discussed in the context of where they fit in the entire digital project lifecycle. Many examples will be shown, and participants will have an opportunity to put the material from the workshop to use through discussion questions.
BASICS OF SCORES CATALOGING WORKSHOP
presented by MARGARET KAUS
A discussion of basic score cataloging using AACR2 rules from chapters 1, 2, 5, etc. Includes a discussion of searching for and selecting the best record in OCLC and when to input a new bibliographic record.
ADVANCED SCORES CATALOGING
presented by A. RALPH PAPAKHIAN
We will examine examples of problematic title pages, confusing physical formats requiring description, uniform title problems, and LC subject heading problems; all based on AACR2, LCRIs, and LCSH. Includes opportunity to discuss problems submitted in advance. Submit problems for discussion to papakhi@indiana.edu and paul.cauthen@uc.edu
BASIC SOUND RECORDINGS
presented by MARK SCHARFF
The aim is to provide an overview of the principal issues to address in cataloging sound recordings using AACR2 and the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations. Compact discs will be the primary format whose cataloging will be taught. Major concepts will include:
ADVANCED SOUND RECORDINGS
presented by ROBERT FREEBORN
Cataloging of such items as enhanced discs, hybrid discs, pure digital (non-physical) recordings, Playaways, and a selection of oddities. The workshop will look at advanced sound recording cataloging utilizing AACR2 Chapters 6, 7 and 9. This workshop will include PowerPoint presentation slides, handouts, and examples.
BASIC VIDEORECORDINGS CATALOGING WORKSHOP
presented by JAY WEITZ
The workshop assumes basic knowledge of the MARC 21 format
for Visual Materials and AACR2 cataloging rules for videorecordings. Discussion
will be guided in part by audience questions, focusing on specific video cataloging
problems. We will begin with a brief historical background of the AACR2 rules,
then cover sources of information, when to input a new record, special considerations
for music videos, physical/technical descriptions, and possibly other topics.
A packet of examples will be provided and there will be ample opportunities
for questions.
This presentation is suitable for all levels of catalogers.
ADVANCED VIDEORECORDINGS CATALOGING WORKSHOP
presented by JAY WEITZ
The workshop assumes basic knowledge of the MARC 21 format for Visual Materials and AACR2 cataloging rules for videorecordings, but is suitable for catalogers at all levels of experience. Discussion will be guided in part by audience questions, focusing on specific video cataloging problems. Among possible topics of discussion are dates, numbers associated with videos, field 007, DVDs and other videodiscs, streaming videos, "in" analytics, closed captioning and audio enhancement, genre headings, statements of responsibility, and collections, among others. A packet of examples will be provided and there will be ample opportunities for questions.
WORLDCAT LOCAL
presented by CATHY GERHART
This presentation will look at the implementation of Worldcat Local at the University of Washington. It will include live demonstrations and a discussion of how it works and doesn't work for media materials. There will be ample time for questions about the product and to try a variety of different kinds of searches.
PRECONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Thursday, September 25 — 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
MAPS CATALOGING
presented by PAIGE ANDREW
This basic maps cataloging workshop will primarily delve into the three descriptive areas of the bibliographic record that typically cause concern and consternation. Those three areas are:
Additionally, we will look at the fixed fields that are pertinent to cataloging cartographic materials, learn how to create a LC G-classification call number, and touch on subject analysis and possibly map facsimiles.The instructor’s primary goal is to build confidence in working with the details of these areas, as well as to teach the correct way to handle the data that goes into each.
We will learn to use the Natural Scale Indicator with a hands-on exercise, and will conclude with the attendees creating a brief descriptive record for a map.
Workshop attendees will receive a set of handouts as reference materials that touch on the entire range of descriptive and other elements contained in the bibliographic record for maps. The handouts cover not only the above-mentioned areas but also include a couple of bibliographies and several “ready reference” resources.
In addition, each attendee will receive a Natural Scale Indicator thanks to the map distributor company, MapLink.
Copies of Mr. Andrew’s book, Cataloging Sheet Maps, the Basics will be available for purchase at a discounted price as well.
