Re: [CODE4LIB] Cataloging4Coders @ C4L12 - We need your brains
Most definitely we also need a coding-for-catalogers session, but this isn't it. Will there be one?

In answer to Christine's question - yes. This is cataloging for non-catalogers - specifically geared to coders. Hence the subject line Cataloging4Coders (grin). I think people are somehow misunderstanding Becky's request for input. The idea is to further understanding of cataloger culture and cataloging concepts rather than teach how to do descriptive cataloging in x standard. That would take way more than a half-day or one-day workshop. Plus there are already tons of great courses out there by SAA, ALCTS, SCTP, etc. I point the people interested in EAD in that direction for training. This CODE4LIB preconference would help coders deal with the metadata they've got. It's an explanation of why library metadata is the way it is rather than a how-to roll your own. The existing knowledge and skills of those wanting to attend will determine how detailed we get. We're are trying to get a sense of the background knowledge of potential attendees and the specific problems they encounter. Most definitely we also need a coding-for-catalogers session, but this isn't it.

We realize that there's a wide range of cataloging knowledge and experience in the community, and we want to make sure that those interested get the most out of the pre-conference. If this pre-conference has perked your interest, can you help us in letting us know: - What experience do you have with cataloging/library metadata creation? - What do you want us to cover? Do you have any questions that you want covered? This information will help us greatly in how we structure the pre-conference both in content and schedule. For now, we're planning a half-day pre-conference, but if there's enough interest between beginners and more experienced folks, we will consider offering two half-day preconferences in order to focus on specific participant needs. Feel free to ask questions as well - I'll try to answer them as best as possible given what our group has brainstormed so far.

I second that. I would attend a session on either of these!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Batchload update records transfer from Millennium to OCLC
Unfortunately, we are no longer part of IUG. I am trying to transfer directly from Mil to OCLC. The procedure I am using is from the OCLC Batchload support site here: http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/batchprocessing/using/FTPInnovativeinstructions.pdf Thanks!

I really can't figure this out so any input would be greatly appreciated!!! The IUG list might be the ticket for this problem as there will be more people who perform this specific operation. Are you trying to transfer directly from Mil to OCLC or are you downloading to your computer first? Also, what is the procedure you are using, and where does the failure take place (i.e. connecting to OCLC, logging in, transferring data, processing afterwards) kyle
