Libraries are standing at multiple intersections of change where the roads extend not only into different directions, but different dimensions. AI isn't going away and it's coming for your library, whether you like it or not. Indeed, 'whether you like it or not' is the mantra of AI development and innovation. There are questions about the legalities of licensing vs ownership, the foundations of copyright, and the ownership of the past. Let's take a look at the landscape of Electric Libraryland, from traditional libraries to the underground. What happened, what's happening, and what might happen tomorrow? And what might you need to know when tomorrow becomes today?
If you’ve ever broken into a cold sweat when asked to “take a quick look” at a MARC record, this session is for you. We’ll help you navigate the mysterious world of tags, subfields, and the dreaded fixed fields (which are definitely more fixed than you’d like).
We’ll break down the essentials of cataloging in a way that makes sense for ILS System Administrators, covering key concepts like metadata standards, record maintenance, and how your choices in the Polaris ILS can make or break discoverability.
By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with a newfound appreciation for cataloging, and the confidence to help tackle cataloging issues without fear, and maybe even find yourself a new favorite MARC tag.
Minuteman Library Network (MLN) went live with libraryIQ in 2024. MLN is a particularly tough customer, posing plenty of challenges to both parties. MLN does not prefer to provide direct access to the server, and IQ wasn’t exactly sure what to make of 7,000+ collection codes which led to misinterpreted data on both sides. But thanks to a highly collaborative partnership we were able to work through all conflicts and had a successful launch. Come and learn how a library and vendor both approach the onboarding process and can work together to ensure that the ongoing needs of both parties are met. Co-presented with Sara Roberts and Cori Iannaggi of libraryIQ .
