Christmas in January
by Dames, Rebecca 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Kia ora koutou At Lincoln University, our Library Christmas tree has finally been taken down, but I grabbed a quick snap before the demolition. [cid:image001.png@01D151FA.3B36B550] Made by Sarah Fraser and me. From >500 weeded books, standing ~175m (190 including star). 1 hour building time, 1.5 hours to dismantle (just me). Next year we want to go higher, and we will actually count the books. Anyway because it’s so hard to get back into work in January, I wondered if anyone else wanted to procrastinate and share some pics of how their libraries (or other) celebrated the silly season? Anything and everything you wanted to share would be awesome! Mere (belated) Kirihimete!

'Current State of Linked Data' article
by Tamsyn Bayliss 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Dear colleagues, In case of interest, here's a new article published in ALA Techsource ; Vol. 52, no. 1 (2016) 'Chapter 1. The Current State of Linked Data in Libraries, Archives, and Museums' https://journals.ala.org/ltr/article/view/5892/7446 Abstract: Erik T. Mitchell wrote Library Technology Reports (vol. 50, no. 5), "Library Linked Data: Research and Adoption," published in July 2013. This report revisits the adoption of Linked Data by libraries, archives, and museums, identifying current trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field. By looking at services and research-related large-scale projects, such as BIBFRAME and DPLA, the report describes a trajectory of adoption. It looks at the vocabularies, schemas, standards, and technologies forming the foundation of Linked Data as well as policies and practices influencing the community.

Ebe Kartus ACOC rep. The National Library of Scotland (NLS) hosted the annual meeting of the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA (JSC) 2-6 November 2015. RDA is a standard used in the NLS and libraries around the world to improve access to their collections. The JSC has evolved in the joint Anglo-American library community, and its current members hail from Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK, and the United States. The Edinburgh meeting marked the beginning of a four-year transition to a new structure that reflects international and technical interest in the standard, signified by new UK and Europe representation and a change of name to RDA Steering Committee. 53 observers from 18 countries (Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, England, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Scotland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United States, and Wales) attended public sessions of the meeting. The formal meeting was accompanied by a full-day seminar on rare library materials, and the RLS-athon - a hackathon for data about Robert Louis Stevenson and his works which meant that over 100 Library and Information Professionals attended RDA related events in Edinburgh. Gordon Dunsire, Chair of the RSC, said "Our meeting came to Edinburgh, my home town, by tradition but will leave it with a new name and direction to make a way in a wider world. I am proud of the support from my national library and professional colleagues that helped make the Edinburgh meeting enlightening, adventurous, and successful in its outcome." Simon Edwards, Chair of RDA Board, said "It was great to see so many colleagues attend the RSC and related meetings. We would like to ensure that all RSC meetings in future follow a similar pattern; providing opportunities for the wider community to come together and to engage with the development of RDA. With this in mind, I am pleased that the next steering committee meeting will be held in Frankfurt and I look forward to meeting more of our colleagues then."

LCGFT Literature Headings - a useful spreadsheet of the terms
by Anoushka McGuire 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Good afternoon New Zealand cataloguers, This was posted to the AutoCat list last week and as it’s so very useful, I thought I’d repost it in case you missed it. Cheers! Anoushka Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2015 01:32:29 +0000 From: Cathy Lamoureaux <cjbrl2(a)YAHOO.COM<mailto:cjbrl2@YAHOO.COM>> Subject: LCGFT Literature Headings Hi, all, Now that the Library of Congress has completed authorizing all of the headings initially proposed as part of the LCGFT Literature Project, catalogers at my library are beginning to use the new headings wherever possible in place of GSAFD headings and repurposed LCSH literature headings (i.e., headings coded “655 _0”). In order to facilitate the transition to the new LCGFT headings, I have prepared an Excel file for local staff which I think other libraries might find useful as well. The file is available via OneDrive at the following address for anyone who has an interest: http://1drv.ms/1HwvMOh The file consists of the following four sheets, accessible via the tabs shown at bottom of the screen: • Alphabetical by Heading -- Lists all available LCGFT literature headings in alphabetical order by heading. A category (e.g., drama, fiction, poetry, etc.) is included for each heading and clicking on a heading name causes a brief scope note to display (Note: the scope notes, taken from authority record 680 fields and/or locally devised, are only visible after you save the file to your computer). • Alphabetical by Category -- Lists all available LCGFT literature headings in alphabetical order by category (e.g., drama, fiction, poetry, etc.). Clicking on a heading name causes a brief scope note to display (Note: the scope notes, taken from authority record 680 fields and/or locally devised, are only visible after you save the file to your computer). • GSAFD to LCGFT -- Lists all GSAFD headings, including both literature and moving image and radio headings, with their corresponding LCGFT headings. If the GSAFD heading and the LCGFT heading are worded exactly the same, the LCGFT heading has a green background. If the GSAFD heading and the LCGFT heading are worded differently, the LCGFT heading has a yellow background. If the GSAFD heading does not have a corresponding LCGFT heading, the LCGFT column has a red background and, in some cases, locally developed coding instructions are provided. • LCSH to LCGFT -- Lists LCSH headings that have often been repurposed as literature genre/form headings along with their corresponding LCGFT headings. If the LCSH heading and the LCGFT heading are worded exactly the same, the LCGFT heading has a green background. If the LCSH heading and the LCGFT heading are worded differently, the LCGFT heading has a yellow background. If an LCSH heading does not have a corresponding LCGFT heading, the LCGFT column has a red background. Regards, Cathy Cathy Lamoureaux Cataloger Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh lamoureauxc(a)carnegielibrary.org<mailto:lamoureauxc@carnegielibrary.org> (412) 920-4529 Anoushka McGuire | Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa Direct Dial: +64 4 470 4524 | www.natlib.govt.nz The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs

Kevin Ford * Senior Consultant, MarkLogic * Former Digital Projects Coordinator, Library of Congress * Former Digital Collections Librarian, Columbia College, Chicago Kevin Ford is a Senior Consultant for MarkLogic, maker of the only enterprise NoSQL database.

He was key member of the LC group shepherding the Library's Bibliographic Framework Initiative, which will ultimately replace the MARC Communication Formats with a semantic model.
