From diane.napert at yale.edu Mon Feb 5 13:16:37 2024 From: diane.napert at yale.edu (Napert, Diane) Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2024 18:16:37 +0000 Subject: [Yulcat-l] Upcoming Intro to Alma sessions Message-ID: Dear Tech Services colleagues, We invite you to attend two sessions specially designed by Jennifer Koerber, Yale's training consultant for the migration, to introduce Alma to Technical Services staff across Yale Library and the Law School. Over two sessions, TS staff will be introduced to the LSP Migration Project and the staff-side interface called Alma. In the first session, Jennifer will present an overview of what's involved in the project and a general timeline, including when and how staff will get access to the system for training. Jennifer will then introduce Alma and describe how it is different from any previous ILS - conceptually, technologically, and in the vocabulary it uses for functions. In the second session, Jennifer will continue the introduction to Alma by answering any questions from the first session, then providing demonstrations of basic Alma functionality. After these demos, there will be additional time for Q&A. These sessions are open to all Technical Services staff across YUL and the Law Library. No registration is required. Please add these dates to your calendars. The sessions will be recorded and slides will be made available afterwards. Session 1: Wednesday, February 14th. 2:00-2:45 https://yale.zoom.us/j/92992654506 Session 2: Wednesday, February 21st. 11:00-11:45 https://yale.zoom.us/j/95435936897?from=addon All the best, Angela Sidman, Daniel Lovins, Dawn Smith, Diane Napert, and Jasmine Jones Diane Napert Director, Monographic Processing Services Yale University Libraries Technical Services 344 Winchester Avenue Docks 7/8 New Haven, CT 06511-1918 203-432-7259 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Karen and Beth ran a similar survey in 2019 and are looking to compare responses across the past 5 years. If you are interested in the results of the initial survey, they published an article in Cataloging & Classification Quarterly in 2020 (https://doi.org/10.1080/01639374.2020.1795767). I would strongly encourage everyone to take the time to fill out the survey by the deadline of Thursday, February 22. It?s important to have these conversations across the profession as well as locally. A link to the survey, which should take 10-15 minutes to complete, and further details from Karen and Beth are in the original message below.

We would like to invite those individuals currently working in public, academic, school, or special libraries, or an archive or museum, whose official job duties include cataloging, primarily using ?traditional? library cataloging standards, such as Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC), Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition (AACR2), Resource Description & Access (RDA), Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), Library of Congress Classification (LCC), and/or Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), to complete the following questionnaire: https://dom.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eDOC8emgtnzFOlM We would like to learn more about how catalogers perceive cataloging ethics, the most important ethical issues they face in their work, and how they address these issues. Since we already collected similar information using survey research in 2019, our goal is to compare previous responses to current responses. Please pass the questionnaire link along to anyone or any group who might be interested in completing it. The questionnaire should take about 10-15 minutes to complete and no identifying information will be collected. The deadline for completing the questionnaire is Thursday, February 22. Thank you in advance for your help!

The Policy, Training, and Cooperative Programs Division (PTCP) also took the opportunity to update the general instructions for how to establish a family name subject heading and clarify several points in previous instructions. As a result of this more comprehensive review, H 1631 has now been split into two instruction sheets. H 1631 continues to be about the application of the subject headings related to the heading Genealogy and the related subdivision --Genealogy and the use of family names for genealogical resources, for both subject and name authority records. The newly created H 1631.5 addresses the creation of family name headings in Library of Congress Subject Headings. Due to technical issues with LC's processing of NACO batch loads, it has not been possible for OCLC to make the batch updates to the family name authority records in the Name Authority File to allow for their use as subject access points. In the interests of no longer delaying the application of the new policy, NACO catalogers should make changes to any family name authority record that is needed as a subject access point or requires other updates, as instructed in the Interim update to RDA LC-PCC PS 10.0. We will still strive to make the batch changes, but in the meantime, these changes will make it possible to move ahead with the change in policy without delay. Related documentation in DCM Z1 has also been updated and the training material will be updated soon.

As a result of their analysis, they recommended a change in practice to the Policy, Training, and Cooperative Programs Division (PTCP). PTCP reviewed their recommendations and agreed. As a result, the limitations on the use of the free-floating subdivisions in List 1 of H1160 have now been removed. All forms of music, regardless of whether or not they mention a medium of performance, may use the free-floating subdivisions. The instruction sheet H 1160 Musical Compositions has now been updated with this change in practice.

Apparently, some of the prohibitions for free-floating subdivisions in H 1160 were taken out last year and even LC was not following the new instructions. We in the Music Library have decided to not change our practices until the Music Library Association Metadata Committee and LC smooth out the wrinkles this sudden announcement has made. I was told by a contact at LC that this decision was made because there were so many catalogers who failed to consult (or understand) H 1160 and used the subdivisions incorrectly. Not a great reason to change instructions, but then, the limitation on the subdivisions never made sense to begin with, unless it was a real estate problem on catalog cards. Now, however, if/when we apply the new instructions, we will have split files, because there is no way possible to find much, less update, all the legacy subject headings.
