    MARC Records vs. the Catalog: Data Quality and User Experience

    Presenter: Ruth Kitchin Tillman, Penn State University Libraries, Sally W. Kalin Librarian for Technological Innovations

    Description: What happens when you try to build a new catalog based on the MARC standard? This presentation is a retrospective of experimentation, failure, and compromise in the design of Penn State's Blacklight Catalog with lessons learned about designing for MARC data in the real world. After the presentation, there will be an allotted time for participants to discuss their own OPAC stories as well an Q&A, so please think of stories to share, advice to give, and questions to ask!

     

    Thank you for your interest and participation!
