ALCTS webinar: BIBFRAME Progress at the Library of Congress

Date: Wednesday, February 12, 2020

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description: In 2014 the Library of Congress developed a MARC to BIBFRAME
comparison tool that transforms MARCXML records to their BIBFRAME
representations. Now, the Library of Congress has developed a BIBFRAME to
MARC comparison tool that transforms native BIBFRAME descriptions to their
MARC representations. The development of this new tool marks an important
step towards linked data implementation for bibliographic description. This
webinar will discuss the development and the use of the Library of Congress
BIBFRAME to MARC Comparison Tool, and the higher-level issues associated
with conversion of data from BIBFRAME to MARC. The webinar will also
discuss the changes and the additions that are being made to the Library of
Congress Linked Data Service, ID.LOC.GOV.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of this webinar attendees will be able to understand the
BIBFRAME initiative and its place in the linked data environment and its
impact on traditional cataloging practices.

Who should attend?  Catalogers, Technical Services staff, Systems
developers, Technology units, Library Metadata curators.

Presenters:

Judith Cannan is chief of the Policy, Training, and Cooperatives Programs
(PTCP) Division at the Library of Congress. She manages the training
component of the Library of Congress BIBFRAME initiative.

Sally McCallum is the chief of the Network Development and MARC Standards
Office (NDMSO) at the Library of Congress. NDMSO is the lead unit for
BIBFRAME development at the Library of Congress.
