BIBFLOW IN A NUTSHELL Part I

Access available handouts at ala.15.ala.org/sessions/handouts. What Is the BIBFLOW Project? Is a 2-year project of the UC Davis University Library and Zepheira, funded by Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (May 2014 – April 2016) Its official title is “Reinventing Cataloging: Models for the Future of Library Operations” Is a research project that will address questions like “What impact will adoption of BIBFRAME on technical services workflows in an academic library”? – BIBFLOW = BIBframe + workFLOW One of the major deliverables is a roadmap that can help library community transition cataloging work to a linked data/BIBFRAME native ecosystem

Started to make changes to Kauli-OLE system so we can test the creation of BIBFRAME description using a Zepheira Scribe-like interface – Working on print monographs Began to test conversion of MARC records using LC’s MARC to BIBFRAME Transformation Service

SERIAL RECORDS: MARC TO BIBFRAME LC’S MARC TO BIBFRAME TRANSFORMATION SERVICE Part II

Access available handouts at ala.15.ala.org/sessions/handouts. Reactions to the BF Item Proposal (so far) How about other information we use to holdings record? For example: – publication status – binding instruction – Non-public staff note Should bf:enumerationAndChronology be split into two separate properties? Need special subtypes of bf:Note for recording piece counts on compound items, and for serial designators and "lacks" statements. …

Next Steps for BIBFLOW will continue to analyze MARC to BIBFRAME conversion results will compare LC conversation tool with others such as, MarcEdit MARCNext and Zepheira’s Pipeline will work on profiling for serials and creating user interface for catalogers to input BIBFRAME description will continue to evaluate BF Item proposal will post information on the BIBFLOW project site as we proceed: Please check out the page periodically and give us your feedback.
