The Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (CITSIG) will host three presentations on Friday, March 8 @ 10 am Central / 11 am Eastern for Core IG Week. CITSIG presentations share practical issues and experiences from different vantage points within technical services.
Presentations will focus on:
- using the open-source MARC metadata quality assurance tool "QA Catalogue for Analysing Library Data" to assess ebook metadata quality.
- creative ways to improve working conditions for technical services operations and practicing self-care.
- investigating the use of Homosaurus vocabulary in bibliographic records and analyzing the usage of terms.
Our session will include three presentations in succession as follows:
Applications of the QA Catalogue for Analysing Library Data –David Floyd (Chief Cataloging Librarian, Subject Librarian for Judaic Studies), Sasha Frizzell (Catalog/Metadata Management Librarian), Binghamton University
Practicing Self-care on the Job in Technical Services – Janetta Waterhouse (Associate Dean for Collections, Discovery, and Information Technology Services), Kansas State University
Homosaurus Usage in the OCLC Database: an Exploratory Analysis – Paromita Biswas (Continuing Resources Metadata Librarian), Amanda Mack (Cataloger in the Film & Television Archive), and Erica Zhang (Metadata Librarian for Open Access), UCLA
