ALCTS webinar: Embedded URI in MARC: An Essential for Linked Data

Date: Wednesday, October 26, 2016

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.

Description:

Session 3 in the series, “From MARC to Linked data” will focus on preparing for MARC data transition, with a focus on embedding HTTP URI in MARC data. The subfields that are defined to record HTTP URI, such as $0, $4, etc., will be covered. Also discussed will be how to transform revised MARC data in BIBFRAME via available transformation tools. The process attempts to show that the preparation of moving MARC data toward a linked data environment, i.e. BIBFRAME, is iterative.

Additional sessions in this series include:

• Library of Congress BIBFRAME Developments

• Putting the Link in Linked Data

• How to Get from Here to BIBFRAME

• Modeling and encoding serials in BIBFRAME

• Linked Data Cataloging Workflows

Learning outcomes:

* Participants will be able to use MarcEdit to begin process batch data inserting URI in $0.

* Participants will be able to transform enhanced MARC records into BIBFRAME.

Who should attend? Technical service librarians and staff and library administrators

This is an intermediate course intended for those with a basic understanding of bibliographic records and linked data

Presenter:

She previously worked as the Original Cataloger for Electronic Resources for University of Virginia Library and as the Team Leader for Special Collections and Projects, University of Michigan Library.
