87th IFLA World Library and Information Congress, Dublin, 26-29 July, 2022

87th IFLA World Library and Information Congress, Dublin, 26-29 July, 2022

 

The LAICMG was in attendance at IFLA WLIC 2022 . The post below was written by the CMG secretary, Patricia Moloney regarding some of the various cataloguing, metadata and bibliography related sessions.

Quality Control for Metadata: What Does it Mean?

On Tuesday, July 26, 11:00 – 12:15, IFLA’s Cataloguing Section’s panel of selected metadata experts discussed current issues surrounding the quality of metadata in the library sector, and its management. The session covered topics such as policy management, the available tools for managing quality control, and the best ways to measure quality. Following these presentations, the panel took questions from the audience.

Spot the difference: Monitoring the Data Quality in COBISS.SI by Branka Badovinac, Institute of Information Science (IZUM ), Slovenia;

Quality control of metadata for whom? Turn accurate metadata and authority data into reader-centric data by Yue Wu, Peking University Library, China;

Cambridge University Press and Metadata by Concetta La Spada, Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom;

ISNI, a top tool for quality enhancement, smooth data flows and efficient internal processes by Ann Van Camp and Sven Lieber, Royal Library of Belgium (KBR), Belgium.

OCLC Industry Symposium: Working with a Metadata Mindset

On Tuesday afternoon, July 26, 14:45 – 16:00, following opening remarks by OCLC President and CEO Skip Prichard  on OCLC priorities and progress on major library initiatives for the coming year,  Lorcan Dempsey, recently retired Chief Strategist for OCLC,  delivered a presentation on  the work of OCLC Research to use global WorldCat bibliographic and holdings data to explore national contributions to the published record, drawing on insights from Ireland. Mary Sauer-Games, OCLC Vice President, Global Product Management, spoke about the value of the OCLC infrastructure to connect and enrich a growing network of libraries which represent the collective data, resources, and expertise of thousands of libraries. Axel Kaschte, Director Product Strategy EMEA, ended the session with an update us on WorldCat Entities, a new linked data infrastructure that represents a landmark for libraries.

National Bibliographies Today: Common Practices, Shared Perspectives

Wednesday morning, July 27, 08:30 – 10:00 began early with a session on national bibliographies. Following opening remarks by the chair, Mathilde Koskas, (Bibliothèque nationale de France), the participants broke into groups and discussed the  recently updated  Common Practices for National Bibliographies  newly published in June 2022, (the result of 5 years of work), by members of the IFLA’s Bibliography section   past and present. Its predecessors were the web publication, Best Practice for National Bibliographic Agencies in a Digital Age (2014-2017)   and the original printed National Bibliographies in the Digital Age: Guidance and New Directions (2009), (2008 draft available here). Closing remarks were by Pat Riva (Concordia University). This session’s discussion outcomes will become part of the new cycle of development of the Common Practices, in response to fast-paced changes in actors, technologies and cataloguing standards.

Bibliographic Conceptual Models Review Group  on the latest draft of LRMoo

Later on Wednesday afternoon, 15:30 – 17:30, the Bibliographic Conceptual Models Review Group invited attendees to discuss the latest draft of LRMoo. The Bibliographic Conceptual Models Review Group (BCM RG) provides ongoing support for the maintenance and development of the IFLA bibliographic conceptual models. The BCM Review Group reports to the IFLA Committee on Standards. The IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM) was approved as an IFLA standard in August 2017. IFLA LRM consolidates and succeeds the three models in the IFLA FR family of conceptual models (FRBR, FRAD, FRSAD). FRBRoo version 2.4, approved as an IFLA standard in 2016, reflected the three IFLA entity-relationship models in a formulation designed as a compatible extension to the museum community’s model, the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC CRM).  The role of the LRMoo model is to provide a similar equivalent for IFLA LRM which was developed to resolve inconsistencies between the three separate models. Every user task, entity, attribute and relationship from the original three models was examined, definitions had to be revised, but also some remodelling was required in order to develop a meaningful consolidation. The result is a single, streamlined, and logically consistent model that covers all aspects of bibliographic data and that at the same time brings the modelling up-to-date with current conceptual modelling practices. IFLA LRM was designed to be used in linked data environments and to support and promote the use of bibliographic data in linked data environments.

Defining the National Collection: Challenges and Opportunities Found at the Intersections of the Future and the Past


This open session on Thursday morning 11:15 – 12:45, which was chaired by Liisa Savolainen, National Library of Finland, Finland and moderated by Robin Dale, Library of Congress, United States, gave attendees an opportunity to explore the elements that shape the national collection, as well as the questions many national libraries are asking themselves as they seek to identify and address challenges and opportunities today and into the future. Following the video presentations (above) the participants formed breakout groups to facilitate discussions, to share feedback on the presentations and to explore the elements that shape the national collections in their countries.

***Sold out*** Rare book cataloguing online workshop with Anne Welsh (repeat) 3rd September, 2021

Due to the high level of interest in our recent workshop on getting started in rare book cataloguing, held on Friday 2nd July, the LAICMG will be running a repeat workshop on the 3rd September, 2021.

***Sold out***                                         Rare book cataloguing online workshop with Anne Welsh (repeat) 3rd September, 2021

This online workshop will take place over Zoom. Participants will have to be able to switch between Zoom and other applications, especially to read PDF documents; for this reason joining by tablet (such as iPad) is not recommended.

A zoom link will be sent (from laicmgsec[at]gmail.com) to those registered close to the date of 3rd of September. Please check your spam folders.

At the end of this one-day bespoke workshop participants will leave having catalogued three rare books and with knowledge of where to seek further information.

This course has been certified by the Library Association of Ireland Continuing Professional Development Committee. Certificates of attendance will be issued to attendees.

The workshop level is suitable for students or staff with some general cataloguing experience or as a refresher course. For further information and to register see: https://laicmgrarecat.eventbrite.ie/

Booking is via eventbrite only, and tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.

The three books we will catalogue represent three common periods held by many special collections:

  • One Early Modern book
  • One 18th century book
  • One modern (post-1950) book with features that make rare book cataloguing appropriate.

Model answers will be provided in:

  • DCRM(B) in MARC
  • RDA in MARC
  • AACR2 in MARC

A month before the training, you will receive four PDFs:

  • an introductory reading list
  • a summary of the relevant MARC fields we’ll be using on the day
  • ‘The vocabulary of rare books’ – a basic glossary of common terms
  • a list of useful online sources

You don’t have to read anything in advance, but for those who do like to read ahead, these will be useful resources.

Please note that the majority of the places are reserved for current members of the Library Association of Ireland (LAI) at a discounted price. (Membership will be verified). In addition, a small number of places will be available to current LIS students/unwaged at a nominal price. See tickets for further details here: https://laicmgrarecat.eventbrite.ie/
