<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>hi Patricia--<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>re: your question:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. Do any Roman script catalogers in this group have
previous experience cataloging directly in OCLC…?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>yes, in the mid 90s i used to catalog directly in OCLC,
using the CAT-ME Plus software. i think that i was the only cataloger
doing that at the time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>re: "B" in your document--<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>" Workflow tasks: These workflows would be drafts only,
based on the work during the “costs and ease-of-use study” above.
Adoption of a policy to fully implement direct inputting in OCLC would
necessitate more extensive policy creation, and detailed workflow
analyses. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. Draft a Latin-script original cataloging workflow for
material coming from acquisitions, or curatorial units.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. Draft a Latin-script copy cataloging workflow for
material coming from backlogs, acquisitions, or curatorial units.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3. Draft a Latin-script copy cataloging workflow for
material that has been batchmatched, and thus already has a record in Voyager.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>4. Draft a Latin-script copy cataloging workflow for
material with vendor records in Voyager. " <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>i think that the more variations that we introduce to our workflow
tends to bog down the work (more pipelines=more obfuscation=more time spent per
item). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>i'm also wondering how the "triage" would be
accomplished; how would staff know whether an item coming into their team needs
copy or original cataloging, or whether its been batchmatched or has a vendor
record--until they open up that bib. in Voyager? (were you thinking that Acquisitions
or the curatorial units could route those items differently, or somehow mark
them with what kind of record there is? if not, and staff need to look at
the bib. in Voyager to determine what kind of treatment each item requires, i wonder
if we need to establish four separate workflows. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>and just curious--what's going into determining the cost
variations between cataloging in Voyager and in OCLC? have any
of our peer institutions done any similar cost analyses?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Good morning. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>From the CMS 2008/2009 Goals:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Goal 1, Action 10:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>10. Assess the cost variations between working in Voyager
and working in OCLC, for Latin script materials, both copy and original
cataloging. [May-Jun. 2008, Joan Swanekamp will appoint Task Force]<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As I recall, Meg had asked Joan to ask us to include this
goal, because inputting directly into OCLC might be the best workflow and
management strategy sometime in the future, if we should ever choose to
participate in OCLC WorldCat Local, or other similar Next Generation OPAC OCLC
projects. JOAN, and others: Please let me know if I am in error here. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Last week Joan asked me to write a draft charge for this
task force, and consider what tasks we needed to do to accomplish the action
above. Attached is a rough draft. I have three requests:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. What have I left out? What should I change? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. Do any Roman script catalogers in this group have
previous experience cataloging directly in OCLC, besides myself? Please let me
know. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3. Would anyone like to volunteer for this short term task
force? Any Roman script NACO catalogers are welcome. If there are any non-Roman
script catalogers who would like to volunteer, I would say "yes",
although we will not be testing parallel script inputting as part of this task
force's work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am writing NACO catalog librarians, as we already have
experience inputting directly into OCLC, as well as in-depth cataloging experience,
thus saving us some valuable training time. We should probably review the OCLC
policies for bibliographic record creation and editing, and we need folks who
can learn these policies quickly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am also attaching a time-study draft I was originally thinking
of using for assessing the costs of adding non-Roman script fields. I think I
got an earlier version from Matthew who was going to do a similar survey for
electronic cataloging. Then CMS had two months of survey overload, and the idea
of having yet another survey was highly unpopular. We need to edit this survey
for the current task force, but I'm including the older version here, along
with the draft charge. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
