2018-09-06 Metadata Management Meeting Notes

• Parking Lot - Place for anything that comes up that we cannot currently address, but that we need to come back to.

• Communication spaces in FOLIO
  
  
• Zoom challenges / using chat - Laura encouraged the group to jump in when you want. If you are not comfortable, please "raise your hand" by using the chat. Laura would like to make sure voices are not lost. Please use chat if you need to get a word in, or if you do not have a microphone.
  
  
• You can also leave comments into the meeting notes, if you would like to add something that had been discussed in the meeting. If you place comments in the "comments" section, you will be alerted via email.
  
  
• Feel free to reach out to Laura if there are communication challenges she can help out with.

Batch Loader (Ann-Marie reported) - Work is going well. Screens look good. Discussions surrounding the log that review the process occurred today. The developers have started a first pass of thef first part of a load process. Ann-Marie is reviewing that with the developers. They have evaluation mod-data-loader. They requested sample files, which were provided promptly by the sub-group. These are in the sub groups Google drive folders

Analytics/Bound-with (Charlotte reported) - Group met today with Filip to improve the UI. A follow up meeting is planned for next Tuesday where examples from Chicago and others will be viewed.

MARCCat (Tiziana reported) - Stated this is the only group starting from something already in existence. This causes difficulty in bridging the divide between the existing product and the product being developed. Tiziana reassured the group that the intention of @Cult is to satisfy the FOLIO users and FOLIO requirements, not just retain WeCat's functionality. @Cult has accepted the help of Filip to help with this work.

cataloging workflow demo and opportunity to provide input on use cases, marc editing requirements

Notes: Two use-cases that demo cataloging using OCLC's Connexion (Lisa McColl)

Constant data in OCLC used to populate 590 which impacts discovery (VuFind)

Distinction between OCLC Connexion and OCLC WorldShare Metadata Services – in cataloging by "OCLC" we usually mean Connexion (or Record Manager), i.e. the MARC records

Another reason for using OCLC: built in LC Name and Subject Authority Files

Need to be able to bring records into MarcCat from OCLC and push records from MarcCat into OCLC

Need to document pathways between OCLC & other systems (paper?)

*screen capture of WorldCat Search/filters

Note: none of us want the LDR/008 combined display that is in Connexion, we want real MARC – nice to have concise display option along with possibility to expand and see each position with drop-down values

OCLC Macros: basically static (dynamic)

Controlling headings – i.e. linking field in bib record to authority record; does not happen automatically, only works when there is an existing authority record

Enter diacritics – clunky, not what we want

Transliteration function very useful

We'll continue demo/discussion of OCLC Connexion features in the MarcCat subgroup meeting on Monday
