The goal of this one-day summit is to enhance New York State libraries’ leadership role in contributing high-quality local holdings to the OCLC WorldCat union catalog. For many years, libraries have shared item-specific holdings information - regarding their serials collections, in particular - regionally and beyond. This effort has helped library users everywhere locate and obtain access to the materials they need. The summit will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas regarding issues related to the ongoing contribution and maintenance of Local Holdings.
The program includes:
- Awareness: Local Holdings Maintenance and OCLC
- Myrtle Myers [Bio], Product Manager, Holdings and Local Data, OCLC
- Judy Murran [Bio], Consulting Database Specialist, OCLC
- Acceptance: Can Less than Perfect be Perfectly Okay?
- Natalie Sturr [Bio], Coordinator of Library Technology, SUNY Oswego
- Lauren Pinsley [Bio], OCLC Services Manager, Nylink
- Sharing: Approaches to Control and Presentation of Serial Holdings
- Summary: Four presenters will share their perspectives about projects or processes supporting the presentation of serial holdings
- Caryl Ward [Bio], Head of Acquisitions, Binghamton University Libraries
- Barbara Swetman, Acquisitions and Serials Librarian, Hamilton College
- Miguel Figueroa [Bio], SERHOLD Regional Coordinator, MidAtlantic Region
- Jeff Sohn [Bio], Associate Librarian, Documents and Digital Collections, New York State Library
- Openness: Roundtable Discussions
