1. 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

61. Keeping IRDs up-to-date Tricky – not ideal It requires intentional revisiting of locally customized configuration records as updates are released

62. Benefiting all MetaLib users. Pass on the local customizations to Ex Libris if they are general enough to solve a problem for everyone. They can and have included them in future updates.

63. The Last Mile Role of the Library is to connect users to content. From Ex Libris Strategic Direction presentation in Spearfish 2007 by Oren Beit-Arie

64. The Last Mile High-quality metadata is becoming more important for discovery of appropriate resources. The Digital Information Seeker OCLC, from Ex Libris Strategic Direction presentation in Fort Worth 2010 by Oren Beit-Arie
