    Automating Metadata Manipulation
    with MarcEdit

         
      April 19, 2024
    10:00 - 4:00 EST
    Yale University 
         
     

    This all-day workshop will provide hands-on instruction to automate aspects of the creation, manipulation, and enhancement of library metadata using MarcEdit. The workshop is intended for beginner and intermediate users of MarcEdit. Participants will learn about MarcEdit’s basic and advanced-level functions, including but not limited to batch editing tools, automating task lists, regular expressions, and the Linked Data tool. Through hands-on exercises based on large scale metadata clean-up projects, participants will gain practical experience applying these functions and tools to tabular data and large batches of invalid MARC records. Participants will leave the session with demonstrated proficiency in MarcEdit and reusable, automated task lists and tools to improve metadata at their own institutions.

    Fundamentals of
    Moving Image Cataloging
         
    New York University
    May 17, 2024
    10:00 - 3:45 EST
     
         

    This two-part workshop will offer a foundation for moving image cataloging to participants from all library / technical services backgrounds. Part I will draw on the recently-published OLAC Unified Best Practices Guide to provide an overview of videodisc, videotape, streaming video resources topics including official RDA concepts and terminology related to moving image materials. Part II will consist of examples from best practices including complex work/part relationships, multilingual resources, and additional hybrid formats (continuing resources, video games, nonmusical sound recordings). Participants are encouraged to bring their own questions / examples for group exercise. Any level of experience is welcome.
