Kia ora koutou,
A colleague has come to me with a cataloguing request that I wanted to get some expert advice on –
They have a list of over 400 conference proceedings in a dataset and wondered if she and I could write some code to convert them into Marc records.
At this stage I’m not worried about writing the code, more about what the Marc records would look like.
And if they would be of use to anyone? Useful for interloans? Should we put them on Te Puna? The Alma Community Zone? Figshare? Some may be creating doubleups for ones that exist – is this an issue?
The info in the data includes: (some gaps)
·
Conference name
·
Year
·
Conference number
·
Place
·
url of proceedings
If anyone has any advice/suggestions/comments on this issue I would really appreciate it. Whether it’s about what the Marc record should look like, where we should put them, advice to not do this as it wouldn’t be useful, any and all opinions
welcome.
Thanks everyone, have a fabulous weekend. I hope the sun shines for you!
