METADATA FOR ACCESS Monica Figueroa & Eve Grünberg

PRESENTATION ROADMAP 1. Types of materials 2. Metadata creation 3. Controlled vocabularies 4. Access and discovery

TYPES OF MATERIALS BORN-DIGITAL Monographs  Single compound object  Single reference URL Serials  Multiple digital file upload  Structure (“parent” & “children”)  Single reference URL DIGITIZED Monographs  Single compound object  Single reference URL Serials  Single compound object for large size files  Structure (“parent” & “children”) for regular size files  Single reference URL

BORN-DIGITAL METADATA CREATION  MARC bibliographic record  Connexion Digital Import (CDI) feature – attach the digital object  Crosswalk from MARC to Qualified Dublin Core – digital object (w/ metadata) “drops” into CONTENTdm  Creates URI in the WorldCat record

CONNEXION TO CONTENTDM Select collection Choose file from designated location

[BORN-DIGITAL] MONOGRAPHIC RECORD

[BORN-DIGITAL] SERIAL RECORD PARENT CHILD

DIGITIZED MATERIAL + METADATA  Titles and OCLC MARC records with physical materials sent to Internet Archive  Internet Archive digitizes the material and uses metadata sent by us as well as additional information from our library catalog using Z39.50 protocol  We grab the digital objects and metadata file and load them through the CONTENTdm Project Client  We add additional preservation metadata  Depending on the file size we may choose to upload serial issues on the parent/child structure or as a single monographic compound object

[DIGITIZED] SERIAL RECORD FOR LARGE SIZE FILES

[COMBINATION] SERIAL RECORD This serial record has both digitized and born digital content

CONTROLLED VOCABULARIES

METADATA GUIDELINES Metadata Guidelines Library's General Metadata Guidelines Library's Metadata Guidelines for Serials Library's Preservation Metadata Guidelines CONTENTdm Controlled Vocabularies North Carolina Agency Thesaurus (NCAT)

ACCESS + DISCOVERY How does our metadata lead to better discovery?  Consistent and clean metadata across all fields and records  Regular metadata clean-up  Controlled vocabularies – constant update and clean-up  Related items – paper records linked to digital records and vice versa  Extra field - serial title field - to pull together and give extra access for large size digitized serials  Agency-current field (with controlled vocabulary)
