Preparing Copy Catalogers for RDA: Beyond Guidelines and Procedures Erin Stalberg Head, Metadata & Cataloging NCSU Libraries American Library Association ALCTS CCS Copy Cataloging Interest Group June 25, 2011 New Orleans, LA

Copy cataloging/Copy catalogers? Who are we talking about? and What do we mean?

“RapidCat” in NCSU NCSU uses YBP and WorldCat Cataloging Partners Quick copy-cataloging review upon receipt Checklist based on presence/absence of MARC tags –050 or 090 – Author and title must match title page – Matches what is on item –650, 651, 600, 610, 611, record has at least one of these tags –300$e -- has accompanying materials –etc. Our Acquisitions staff didn’t really ever know AACR2! RDA orientation, not training

Metadata & NCSU Materials that bounce out from RapidCat (complex copy, variant editions, full originals) Materials that are not purchased (i.e. gifts, NCSU digital collections, librarian-selected websites) Materials that we do not buy title-by-title (i.e. serials/e-serials, e-books, patron-driven)

Metadata & NCSU About 5% of NCSU MARC cataloging is Original Much of that is new editions and/or electronic derived from print NCSU is not a participant in the PCC MLS holding librarians are doing (next to) no cataloging Support staff are doing all copy AND original cataloging and both MARC and non-MARC cataloging Copy-catalogers = Cataloging staff who have not gone through an MLS program.

Metadata & NCSU 18 Metadata & Cataloging staff –6 in Monographs –6 in Serials & Continuing Resources –4 in Metadata & Data Quality –1 Technology Support for Technical Services Highly centralized cataloging output –60,568 physical & electronic titles (MARC) –50,504 physical volumes (MARC) –12,909 digital image assets (non-MARC) –779 digital text assets (non-MARC) – linear feet of manuscript materials (non-MARC) –2,943 faculty citations (non-MARC)

Approach to NCSU Involved all Metadata & Cataloging staff Established a training team Was not to be a debate about the merits of RDA Would not cover everything Was need to know When to know what to ask It had to succeed! had

Approach to NCSU Training team –Christee Pascale, Associate Department Head –Jacquie Samples, Continuing & Electronic Resources Librarian –Patrice Daniels, Monographs –Anne Navarro, Monographs –Lisa Madden, Continuing & Electronic Resources

How the trainers were trained Library of Congress' Train the Tester session (for testing participants) at ALA Midwinter, January 2010 Cataloging Management Team watched webinars together The RDA Training Team assembled other available resources, then learned and muddled through as a group, developing content while simultaneously learning the material Developed local policies & procedures

Local policy development Policy setting v. use of catalogers judgment Alternatives/optional omissions/optional deletions –To follow LC or not to follow LC? Criteria for upgrading copy & Deriving records Relationship designators Rule of 3

NCSU – Curriculum RDA Changes from AACR2 for Texts (Barbara Tillett’s webinar) FRBR RDA core training Breakout groups ALCTS webinars & ongoing discussion

Approach to NCSU – FRBR Hour-long session before the official start of RDA training Deliberately tailored the content to focus on the concepts needed to carry over into RDA training and then attempted to make those concepts more concrete

Approach to NCSU – FRBR What worked well? –Tailoring the content to need-to-know for RDA –Concrete examples & props –Focus on user tasks –Group discussion

Approach to NCSU – FRBR What worked less well? –FRBR is hard and needs to be reinforced throughout. –The “fun” FRBR philosophical debate is around resources published in multiple expressions/manifestations. NCSU does not collect heavily in these areas.

NCSU – RDA core training Differed from LC’s training in two ways: –More intentionally taught RDA in terms of MARC21 and AACR2 –Softened the presentation of RDA in its FRBR/FRAD-based conceptual framework. 12 hours of training over a 3 day period

NCSU – RDA core training Day One Introducing RDA Access Points Relationship Designators Preferred Title for the Work Day Two Sources of Information Identifier for the Manifestation Title Proper and Statement of Responsibility Content, Media and Carrier Types Designation of the Edition Publication Statement and Copyright Date Extent, Illustrative Content (etc.) and Dimensions Day Three Dates for Mulipart Monographs, Serials and Integrating Resources Series Statement Numbering of Serials & Series Notes MARC Encoding for the US RDA Test Wrap-Up

NCSU did NOT cover Changes to types of materials we do not often collect: –Parts of the Bible –Rare books –Treaties –Music We also did not train in-depth on the new MARC Authority Record fields … just enough to be able to read an RDA authority record

NCSU – Breakout groups Split our staff of 18 into small groups Created practice records together Resources we were likely to catalog during the US Test: –Single part monograph (print and electronic) –Multipart monograph (print and electronic) –Upgraded monographic copy (from AACR2 to RDA) –DVD –Children's resources –Streaming media –Theses & dissertations –Serials (print and electronic) –Integrating resources (print and electronic)

NCSU – RDA core training What worked well? –Half-day sessions –Involving support staff in the content creation –Having more than one presenter –Starting with the harder stuff and leaving on a “high” –Having professional-looking Powerpoints & handouts –Having and sticking to an agenda –Investing in the planning –Discussion that ended in decision-making & follow-up –Snacks!

NCSU – RDA core training What worked less well? –Easy to get derailed by the edge cases –Discussion that did not end in decision-making –Staff really want examples, examples, examples We did not have enough examples We did not show full records They were not all contextual to our environment

Cataloger’s Judgment? Support staff liked the idea of cataloger’s judgment, but ultimately did not feel comfortable exercising judgment. For efficiency, how much judgment do we actually want to encourage in copy-cataloging? –trust other people’s judgment! There are some MARC coding implications for RDA options.

Supplying a Date of Publication for Single Part Monographs RDA allows both: –260 ## $a Hoboken, N.J. : $b Wiley, $c [date of publication not identified], ©2010. and –260 ## $a Hoboken, N.J. : $b Wiley, $c [2010], ©2010.

What we’ve learned It is kind of cool to reset the training baseline It is easy to get bogged down by edge cases Unlearning is hard/Changing focus is hard It is difficult to balance emphasis on cataloger’s judgment v. emphasis on efficiency Energy is a good thing in and of itself

Things we know in our heads but it is still good to be reminded of People like examples Catalogers like rules Catalogers like when expectations are clear and documentation is up to date Support staff like when their bosses know the answers to their questions Cataloging managers like when LC figures things out first

Things we know in our heads but it is still good to be reminded of “Cataloger’s judgment” needs something to be grounded in –FRBR user tasks –We are all responsible for our metadata future –We are all responsible for the cost/value decisions in our libraries Copy-catalogers may never have engaged in these issues before

Data analysis 75% of NCSU catalogers showed some degree of increased rapidity in record creation over the course of the test. Average time per record decreased by 40% by the end of the test. In most cases with items for which there are numerous records (books, e-books, and e-journals), we saw steady decrease in time. The majority of print serials were cataloged by three individuals, yet despite much repeat cataloging, time to catalog did not decrease much over time. We have no idea why. Books show similar rates of decrease in trendlines for copy and original materials. By the end of the test period, catalogers were spending between 5-20 minutes on a copy Book record and minutes on an original Book record.
