ALCTS CaMMS Cataloging & Classification Research Interest Group at ALA Annual Topic: Catalog Evolution Date: Sunday, June 30, 2013 Time: 10:30 am – 11:30 am Location: N229 McCormick Place Convention Center In this year's meeting, the CaMMS Cataloging and Classification Research IG provides a variety of presentations and discussions of research about the current organization and access to information and how it can be transitioned to the new environments. Social tagging, MARC XML, and RDA training issues are only a few things that will be featured in this meeting. "Tag, you're it: Enhancing access to graphic novels," presented by Wendy West, Head of Database Maintenance, Processing and Bindery Department, University at Albany, State University of New York. This presentation examines social tagging as aid for access to graphic novel titles in the discovery layer catalogs. In this project, the catalogs of a group of Association of Research Libraries were reviewed to determine if they offered social tagging options and, if they were, whether their users were applying social tags to records identifying materials as graphic novels. The presentation also discusses such issues as specific patterns in the tagging terminology and metadata used by catalogers to identify graphic novels. "AACR2 to RDA: A means to an end," presented by Peter H. Lisius, Music and Media Catalog Librarian, Kent State University. This research presents some conclusions on AACR2 and RDA training through critical review of literature, examination of AACR2 to RDA mappings in the RDA Toolkit, and a look at both Library of Congress and OCLC policies surrounding RDA training and transitioning. Taking all these materials together, the presenter will offer his conclusions as to the present and future usefulness/implications of learning both AACR2 and RDA together, or simply learning RDA on its own. "Reuse, Repurpose," presented by Violeta Ilik, Metadata Cataloging Librarian, Texas A&M University Libraries. This presentation focuses on the catalogers' experience in creating crosswalks between MARCXML and Dublin Core for specific collections at Texas A&M University Library. The focus will be in how the catalogers at Texas A&M University were able to use of Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) to transform MARCXML documents to Dublin Core XML documents. With two collections that were identified by a Subject Selector for inclusion in the Institutional Repository, catalogers demonstrated that they have the potential to take on metadata projects by actively participating in the transformation of documents from MARCXML into Dublin Core XML file format or other metadata file formats.
