Changing Trends

• Almost instant record for your catalog
• Varying degrees of quality
If enough of you ask for it, they will provide!
•Some don’t know what MARC is or that you’d want it
Processing
Shared Cataloging• State Systems, Consortia, Specialized Libraries
• Pool of skills benefits the whole• Languages• Formats
Processing

Formats
• Just over half of Backstage’s library clients request that original records be done in RDA.• All libraries will accept copy records in either AACR2 or
RDA. Only a small percentage want RDA elements added into AACR2 copy.• Publishers are slower to change to RDA – most seem to
only when enough of their library clients request it!

“This tool is a front end input tool that can be integrated with a back end datastore to create original BIBFRAME descriptions, store them, and recall them for editing. We expect this tool to help experimenters create implementations that will test elements of the BIBFRAME model and vocabulary, in addition to linked data aspects of the BIBFRAME initiative.”
