<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Eliminating Conflicts in Ebook Metadata<br>
Patricia Payton</b>, <i>Senior Manager, Provider Relations,
Proquest/Bowker</i><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Harmonizing and enhancing ebook metadata to print metadata
is a focus for many publishers. Yet there is still work to be done. Some
variations may occur including sales rights, publication dates, and pricing.
Learn more about ebook metadata pitfalls by understanding how data recipients
read and interpret your data. Also learn how NISO is bringing publishers and
librarians together to set best practices for key ebook metadata points. <span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Conglomerating and Collocating Collections without
Convoluted Concoction<br>
Scott Anderson</b>, <i>Associate Professor & Information Systems
Librarian, Millersville University</i><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scott Anderson will discuss how Millersville University is
working with several vendor partners (Atlas Systems / EBSCO / TIND) to inject
local / special collections content into its own discovery service and expose
those collections to the open web via linked data. The idea is to use as much
of the same workflow to harvest from finding aids, repositories, local
catalog(s), into MARC defined elements to be transformed into linked data for
the open web and associated applications, ingest into other local services, and
perhaps collocated with identified subscription products.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Manipulating Metadata to Enhance Access</b><br>
<b>Marilyn White</b>, <i>E-Resource Librarian, </i><b>Briget Wynne,</b><i> Reference
and Interlibrary Loan Librarian, </i><u>and</u><i> </i><b>Katelynd
Bucher, </b><i>Metadata Librarian, Research Library Group, National
Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST)</i><br>
<br>
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Research Library is a
federal library located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The NIST Research Library’s
mission is to support and enhance the research activities of the NIST
scientific and technological community through a comprehensive program of
knowledge management.<br>
<br>
To fulfill this mission, the Library makes available to its researchers the
following: proprietary databases, journals and e-books. In addition, the
Library makes available to the public, agency content such as: the NIST Digital
Archives (NDA), oral histories, photo collections, NIST Museum objects, and
NIST authored technical publications. The Library also supports the publication
and digitization of the agency’s Journal of Research NIST and NIST Technical
Series reports. <br>
<br>
This presentation will discuss how the advances in the technological landscape
and user behavior have influenced changes in the Library over a period of 25
years and how we have arrived at our current hybrid configuration. We will also
look at the decisions and challenges we face to make our systems compatible and
how we have made uniformity in our metadata to disseminate our content across multiple
platforms. We will give an overview of our current environment as well as
discuss specific metadata tools and processes we used to achieve our goals.<br>
<br>
The Library has content housed in a variety of platforms such as: Govinfo,
Internet Archive, our agency repository (NIST Digital Archive), our own
publication servers at the agency as well as registration of our DOIs with
CrossRef. In addition, we also are now depositing our NIST-authored, externally
reviewed content with PubMed Central. All these various entities require their
unique metadata formats. In addition to this, we have also launched our
discovery layer which acts as a single search mechanism on campus, for
researchers to access all our proprietary content and agency publications.
We’ll discuss how we corralled all our metadata, created consistencies across
platforms and made our discovery layer work within the confines of our hybrid
system.<br>
<br>
Because of our efforts, we anticipate increased discovery and use of our
proprietary resources and agency publications. We hope we will see an increased
impact through frequent citing of NIST authored content which will raise the
agency’s profile in the scientific community.<span></span></p>
