I think I remember previously running across MARC records that had UUIDs in
the 001 field, though I don't have any examples handy. In any event, such
records wouldn't present a problem for either Koha or Evergreen systems to
ingest.

Re: [CODE4LIB] UUIDs in MARC 001

[Andy Kohler]

I think the 001 only has meaning within the current system in which the
MARC record is stored.  It's the local control number and on its own has no
meaning outside of that system.

Presumably your records also contain an 003 field, a control number
identifier, so that if another system were to ingest records exported from
yours, the 001 and 003 together would have the proper context.  The
ingesting system probably would move the 001/003 to a new 035 field, and
replace the 001 with their own local identifier.

So, your use of a UUID in 001 should be fine, as long as you provide an
003.  Other systems should move your UUID to 035 on ingest, and assign the
new record an 001 which has meaning within their own system.

[CODE4LIB] UUIDs in MARC 001

[Sebastian Hammer]

Hey folks,

The FOLIO LSP uses UUIDs 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier) internally 
to uniquely identify all things, including bibliographic instances. When 
exchanging instance entities with other systems using MARC 
(bibliographic), we'd kind of like to use those UUIDs as our 001 
identifiers since they're the closest thing to a true system ID we have. 
But I wonder if anyone has tried this and experienced problems with MARC 
consumers croaking on something like


001 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-42665544

which is not your grandfather's identifier. The LOC MARC documentation 
is silent on the length of the 001 field but the MARCBreaker/maker 
software recommends staying within 12 characters... I can imagine if 
some systems wanted to stick the identifier in a fixed-with database 
table, hilarity might ensue.


Any thoughts?

you to share your methods and experience with us.



The Management Workgroup of the Community for 3D Data Preservation 
(CS3DP) is gathering information on how 
creators and digital repository managers store and preserve 3D data. Our goal 
is to gather and present guidelines for managing 3D data based on current 
practices.



The below questionnaire has four profile options that will determine what 
questions are asked: Creator, Repository Manager, Both Creator and Repository 
Manager, and Other. Please select the most fitting.



http://bit.ly/manage3d



The questions are broken out in the attached documents so you can prepare your 
answers should you wish. It should take 9 minutes or less to fill out.



Thank you for your input.

[CODE4LIB] Program announcement: ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical Services at Midwinter, Sat. Jan. 26

[Timothy R. Mendenhall]

Attending at ALA Midwinter 2019? Please join the ALCTS Creative Ideas in
Technical Services Interest Group, an open forum for discussion of all
things technical services!  Everyone is welcome to participate in any of
the 8 exciting roundtable discussions being held on Saturday, January 26th,
from 4:30-5:30 PM in Room 2B of the Washington State Convention Center in
Seattle.  Add the session to your conference scheduler here:
https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/ALA-Midwinter/fsPopup.asp?Mode=presInfo=470124

We are proud to present the following discussion topics for our session at
ALA Midwinter 2019; in addition, we are seeking a facilitator for a the
proposed topic "Critical cataloging and faculty engagement"--see below for
the full proposal text.

Understanding and Managing the Changing Landscape of Technical Services
Facilitators: Dan Tam Do (University of Vermont) and Lihong Zhu (Washington
State University)

This roundtable discussion will focus on exploring current issues and
trends in technical services, including the role of the manager or
supervisor in addressing change. What are the major drivers of change in
the current landscape of technical services? Here, the drivers of change
refer to those factors which bring changes in the overall landscape. They
can originate from the outer ring of the macro-environment or within the
inner ring of the micro-environment. It is critical to understand the major
drivers of change since they are likely to impact all aspects of technical
services, including standards, best practices, technology, workflows, and
staffing. Managers and supervisors in technical services are often
responsible not only for these aspects of operations but also for
maintaining awareness of the drivers of change, considering and
communicating their potential impacts, and making decisions around change.
This position brings a unique perspective as well as particular challenges,
which will be explored during the discussion. Potential questions may
include: 1. What are the major drivers of change in the current landscape
of technical services? 2. What challenges do managers and supervisors face
in meeting the upcoming changes in technical services? 3. What can managers
and supervisors do to develop their technical services department into a
learning organization that is not only keeping up to date with current
issues and trends, but also continuously learning new ways of doing things?

Embracing Technical Service's Public Service Role
Facilitator: Jeffrey Mortimore (Georgia Southern University)

The traditional distinction between the “front office” and the “back
office” fails to align with contemporary technical services practice.
Today, technical and public services personnel are equally involved in
providing resources, services, and support direct to patrons, demanding
communication, collaboration, and public service competencies library-wide.
Drawing upon participants' experiences, this roundtable will discuss the
importance of communication and referral skills commonly associated with
reference and instruction to the delivery of effective technical services.
What are the emerging points of contact between technical and public
services, and technical services and patrons? What role has the ongoing
transition to electronic resources played in changing or increasing these
points of contact, and the need for technical services personnel to
participate in their mediation? How do technical services personnel provide
education, promotion, and support for library resources? What practices
work well, and what can we do better? How does technical services’
participation in patron education and support impact technical and public
services roles library-wide? Are traditional service models well adapted to
emerging technical and public services?

Tools and workflows for enhancing discoverability of linked data and other
library resources on the web
Facilitators: Theodore Gerontakos, Crystal Clements, Benjamin Riesenberg
(University of Washington)

Many libraries create linked data and local triple stores which, in turn,
become additional library resources to expose to potential users. One goal
for this type of resource is to make it discoverable directly on the web,
often without intervening applications such as an integrated library system
or a content management system. How have libraries dealt with this
challenge? How are we publishing resources (including linked data and local
triple stores) directly into the web and making them discoverable? Library
metadata as linked data further complicates this effort because web
searches customarily retrieve the resources themselves, rather than
descriptions about the resources. We can use search engine optimization
practices to make our datasets visible to web searches, but how do we
present them to justify offering a dataset as a query solution? These
problems can apply to any resource published directly into the web. A
discussion of discoverability
