CORC: The Cooperative Online Resource Catalog
OCLC's Cooperative Online Resource Catalog (CORC) is a state-of-the-art
web-based service that is empowering librarians in the efficient management
of web-based electronic resources. As well as an automated toolkit, CORC
provides a high-quality, library-selected database of web-based electronic
resource descriptions.
CORC will:
* Automate the creation and cataloguing of MARC and Dublin Core
records from web resources
* Provide harvested data, suggested classification numbers and subject
headings
* Automate link maintenance to ensure currency of URLs
* Automate content checking to ensure the stability of the selected
resource
* Automate the creation and maintenance of pathfinders (portal pages)
* Integrate electronic and traditional resources within collections
Description
This one day course aims to introduce participants to the CORC service,
examining both metadata record creation and the creation of pathfinders.
Participants will have hands-on experience of the automated tools within
CORC. Consideration will also be given to the integration of CORC with
local library systems.
Areas to be covered include:
* Searching CORC
* Using MARC and Dublin Core resource descriptions
* Creating original metadata descriptions (MARC and Dublin Core)
* Using the web-based Dewey Decimal Classification
* Editing existing pathfinders
* Creating original pathfinders
* Exporting pathfinders
By the end of the workshop participants will have gained an understanding of
CORC and of the automated tools that it provides in the creation of resource
descriptions and pathfinders.
