Optimizing Metadata in MetaLib for Quality OpenURLs by Jerry V. Caswell & John Wynstra University of Northern Iowa caswell@uni.edu & wynstra@uni.edu
2
How to get the most out of this presentation Pay attention – it is going to get all “metadata –ish” What you will see on the PowerPoint slides –4 cases each one a different metadata tweak. –Slide numbers – case1.2, case1.3, etc. –Questions between each Case –Zoom After the Cases –A few details and more questions
3
Introduction UNI Quick Facts –Cedar Falls, Iowa –11,294 Undergrad Students (2009 headcount) –1,786 Grad Students (2009 headcount) –A guy by the name of Ali Farokhmanesh put us on the map recently
4
Introduction Rod Library Quick Facts –19 librarians, 36 staff, 97 student assistants –$6.6 million annual budget –1 million + holdings –180 + research databases
5
Introduction Rod Library Systems Info –LIT department staff of 5 Servers, Desktops, System Applications, Administration, Support –Innovative Interfaces Integrated Library System –Ex Libris SFX OpenURL resolver –Ex Libris MetaLib Federated Search –Xerxes front end to Federated Search –CONTENTdm digital library
6
The Problem Unpredictable and unreliable metadata is shortchanging our users.
7
A Solution Fix the metadata if possible before it arrives at its final destination – the user.
8
How are we going to fix it? MetaLib tools available for the Configuration Record –Conversion tab –OpenURL tab From here forward I assume some familiarity with the MetaLib Administrative Interface
