    Catalog of Change: Partnering with Subject Librarians to Improve ILS Discovery
    (North Dakota State University, 2019) Hughes, Rex Allen
    The cataloging environment in libraries has undergone extensive changes in recent years, including wider acceptance of alternative metadata standards, automation tools, and enhanced ILS features. This sea change in metadata services presents librarians with an opportunity to collaborate with the cataloging team and share their suggestions for record enhancements. While metadata standards should continue to provide structure to our discovery systems, improved cataloging tools now make it easier to integrate new ideas than ever before. At North Dakota State University, the cataloging team has undergone a two year experiment to give subject librarians the opportunity to share their recommendations through an online “Metadata Request” form. Throughout this process, we have discovered new methods of approaching requests, either by revisiting local policy or by using modern tools such as MarcEdit. This breakout session provided an overview of the Metadata Request and Consultation Process, referencing tools such as Google Forms, MarcEdit, and OpenRefine.

    Research Support through Repository Access at NDSU
    (North Dakota State University, 2019) Grasto, Jenny; Hughes, Rex Allen
    In order to enhance the digital content and descriptive metadata of an institutional repository, library staff must foster partnerships with researchers and university departments responsible for generating digital content. Over the past two years, NDSU Libraries staff members have revitalized institutional repository efforts by engaging in new partnerships and providing support for research sharing. Their collaboration with the Graduate School has increased access to student theses and dissertations, including supplemental Ph.D. Videos that allow students to describe their research for a general audience. Repository support staff have also worked with university faculty to feature their work on an open access platform, including preprint publication documents, conference proceedings, and research indexes. These efforts have been supported by systems administration of the NDSU Repository as well as an increased focus on metadata enhancement. This presentation showcases examples of these efforts, including digital scholarship and interdepartmental communication strategies.
