Slouching towards BIBFRAME: An Overview of Current Possibilities

BIBFRAME is a shapeshifter: it is both the focus of serious testing and production projects by academic and national libraries and a mystery with an unclear path forward to adoption by public libraries… and Evergreen.

Galen Charlton will provide an overview of recent developments in BIBFRAME tools with a focus on what has evolved towards a practical use of the technology.

Attendees will leave the session with a better understanding of the state of BIBFRAME and more information to inform a broad community discussion of Library Linked Data and Evergreen.

Teamwork Makes the Herding Cats Dream Work

In September 2022 Missouri Evergreen hired a full-time Consortium Cataloger. Come discuss with the Chair of the Cataloging Committee and the Consortium Cataloger how they set priorities, divide the workload, and work together to wrangle a cataloging community of 60+ libraries. Whether a consortium’s cataloguing is centralised, partially-distributed, or fully-distributed, it’s crucial for members to agree upon policies, guidelines, and best practices. This presentation will review some of C/W MARS’ challenges, suggestions, and solutions in a multi-type consortium of 150+ libraries.

Achieving Fulfillment

Evergreen has a sibling named Fulfillment, an application made to allow for wide spread and low effort interlibrary loan among libraries. Join us as we discuss the history of its shared code with Evergreen, ongoing development, what makes it special and learn if it might help you expand sharing with other libraries, regardless of ILS.
