Cataloging Trends and Challenges
Richard WisneskiAugust 2008
Kelvin Smith LibraryCase Western Reserve University
Current Trends and Challenges:
Increasing publication costs Increasing electronic resources and freely
available resources Inflation rate for library materials rising Increasing reliance on cooperative ventures
Process of creating MARC records will evolve over the next 5 years Outsourcing the creation of MARC records for
published materials will continue to expand Metadata in non-MARC formats from
venders will increasingly be used to populate fields in MARC records rather than be entered locally at every institution
Less emphasis on rigid data formatting; more emphasis on usefulness of data to patrons.
FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) Displays existing subject reference structures
in authority files better Allows users to better navigate the subject
reference structure, moving from "see references" to authorized headings.
Display will make better use of relationships between bibliographic entities.
FRBR -- Continued
Example: OCLC Fiction Finder
Cataloging Staffs…
Will apply appropriate metadata format to a particular situation
Will know non-MARC standards and emerging metadata schemes, such as Dublin Core, VRA, TEI, MODS
More time devoted to authority control, subject analysis, resource identification
From "On the record: Report of The Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control"
5 recommendations:1. Increase cooperation and sharing of
bibliographic records.2. Expose users to rare and unique materials
held by libraries3. Recognize the WWW as the platform for
delivery.4. Investigate the potential of FRBR5. Strengthen library and information science
programs
From "Response to 'On the record: Report of the Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control'"Supports:
1. Being more flexible in accepting bibliographic data from others (e.g. publishers) that do not conform precisely to U.S. library standards
2. Data sharing with publishers and vendor partners4. Development of mechanisms to use data and metadata from
network resources (e.g. indexing services, Amazon, IMDb)5. Exploration of tools to share bibliographic data, such as Open
Archive Initiative-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).6. More cataloging of materials in special collections -- finding aids
accessible vial online catalogs (e.g. EAD)7. Develop a more flexible, extensible metadata carrier -- recognize
that Z39.2/MARC are no longer fit for the purpose; work to implement a carrier that is capable of representing the full range of data of interest to libraries
8. MODS, MARCXML, METS, Dubin Core, and other evolving standards to enable broader use and maximization of LC data

Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS)Used for: Encoding administrative, structural, and descriptive
metadata about objects within a digital library Providing a useful standard for the exchange of
digital library objects between repositories Providing a coherent means for archiving digital
objects and their metadata Standardizing the containers for digital library
metadata (similar to MARC) and the rules for the metadata content itself (similar to AACR).
Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) -- Continued
Used by Mark Twain Project California Digital Library, Escholarship University of Michigan, Mbooks Etc.

METS RECORD SAMPLE:
Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS)
Used for… Representing metadata for harvesting Representing a simplified MARC record in
XML Simplifying the full MARC format, yet being
richer than Dublin Core Being more end user oriented than the full
MARCXML

Dublin Core (DC)
Used for Promoting the widespread adoption of interoperable
metadata standards Providing card catalog-like definitions for defining the
properties of objects for Web-based resource discovery systems
Representing 15 core elements likely to be useful across a broad range of disciplines of study.
Providing a core set of elements that could be shared across disciplines or within any type of organization

Used by Kelvin Smith Library Digital Case Cleveland State University’s Cleveland
Memory Project Ohio’s Heritage Northeast Etc. etc.
