主旨: [lis-e-resources] Six Exciting Preconference sessions at NASIG's 
2017 Annual Conference


The 2017 NASIG Annual Conference is offering six exciting preconferences 
with expert speakers! Terry Reese (Ohio State, and creator of MarcEdit) 
and Shana McDanold (Georgetown) will present an all day session on 
MarcEdit basics, as well as a half day session focused on more advanced 
tools and techniques for working with metadata. Cheryl Thompson will 
share research data management best practices, a focus of her PhD 
research at Illinois. Maria Collins and Kristen Wilson from NCSU will 
talk about revamping technical services with agile workflows, while 
Genya O'Gara and Madeline Kelly (George Mason) will take a deep dive 
into collections assessment. Also, Amber Billey and Robert Rendall from 
Columbia will tell us about linked data for serialists.

See below for additional preconference information.

A Beginner’s Guide to MARCEdit
By Terry Reese, Ohio State University, and Shana McDanold, Georgetown 
University

Wednesday, June 7th - 8 am to 5 pm
[ http://sched.co/9gC9 ]( http://sched.co/9gC9 )

Whether you are just hearing about MarcEdit, or are currently using the 
tool, but would like to know more – this preconference will provide you 
with the broad overview that you need to take your MarcEdit wizardry to 
the next level.  Over the course of this event, the presenters will use 
common questions and cataloging problems to look at strategies and tools 
for doing basic editing and “macro” creation within the MarcEditor.  The 
preconference will also highlight handy tools like MARCJoin, MARCSplit, 
Characterset Detection and Conversion – as well as demonstrate how to 
generate MARC records from non-MARC data like XML or Excel files. 
Finally, the preconference will look at ways in which MarcEdit is 
providing integrations with OCLC to simplify working with WorldCat, 
generating call numbers, or FAST headings to your records. This program 
is a reprise of last year’s successful and popular workshop.

Extending Library Services to Research Data: Practical Strategies for 
RDMS Design
By Cheryl Thompson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Wednesday, June 7th - 8 am to noon
[ http://sched.co/9gHn ]( http://sched.co/9gHn )

Whether you are new to or working in research data management, this 
workshop will help take your data service model to the next level. 
First, the workshop will provide an overview of different service models 
and linking services to campus needs. Thompson will highlight 
organizational approaches to building and supporting data services. 
Finally, the workshop will discuss service implementation. Using 
practical exercises, participants will explore their current and/or 
future data services identifying goals, resources, expertise, best 
practices, and potential challenges.

An Agile Approach to Tech Services
By Maria Collins and Kristen Wilson, North Carolina State University 
Libraries

Wednesday, June 7th - 1 pm to 5 pm
[ http://sched.co/9gHT ]( http://sched.co/9gHT )

The Acquisitions & Discovery Department at North Carolina State 
University Libraries has used agile-inspired techniques to help create a 
culture that is strategic, iterative, and innovative. In this workshop, 
the presenters will use their experience in this environment to 
introduce attendees to the foundations of an agile tech services 
organization, including project planning, project management, and 
workflow analysis. The workshop will include a mix of instruction and 
hands-on activities that encourage reflection on and application of the 
content.

Collections Assessment: Developing Sustainable Programs and Projects
By Genya O’Gara, VIVA Associate Director, George Mason University, and 
Madeline Kelly, George Mason University

Wednesday, June 7 - 1 pm to 5 pm
[ http://sched.co/9gHU ]( http://sched.co/9gHU )

Making collections decisions within the constraints of tightening 
budgets and an ever-expanding universe of materials means that today’s 
libraries are constantly searching for more informed ways to manage 
resources. Demands for physical space, shifting information needs, and 
urgent financial considerations all compete for priority; and now more 
than ever, libraries are challenged to articulate the value of their 
diverse collections to their institutions, funding bodies, and state 
agencies. Ensuring that data-informed analysis directly links 
collections decisions to the priorities of the institution and its users 
is crucial to these efforts.

Whether you are new to collections assessment and analysis or are a 
long-time practitioner looking for new approaches, this hands-on 
workshop is for you. During the session, participants will get a broad 
overview of the current collections assessment landscape, including how 
to develop coherent, sustainable, and holistic evaluation strategies at 
their home institutions.

Specifically, the preconference session will: review commonly used data 
sources, techniques, and tools; examine the appropriate uses of 
qualitative and quantitative data; demonstrate how to map assessment 
goals to data sources and tools; and develop strategies for clearly 
communicating results of collections analysis to stakeholders. At the 
end of the workshop participants will leave with a project plan for an 
assessment project of their choosing.

Foundations in Linked Data for Serialists
By Amber Billey and Robert Rendall, Columbia University Libraries

Thursday, June 8th - 8 am to noon
[ http://sched.co/9gHu ]( http://sched.co/9gHu )

Are you baffled by BIBFRAME? Overwhelmed by ontologies? Or feeling 
turmoil about Turtle? Then this workshop is for you. Learn the practical 
foundations of Linked Data with a particular focus on serials in this 
half-day workshop. The presenters will go beyond just talking about RDF 
triples and actually break down linked data technology and how its 
application can be utilized for serials. Topics to be covered:
*Linked Data 101
*Ontology Basics
*Turtle Tutorials
*BIBGRAME 2.0 Introduction and The CONSER Mapping

Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring a laptop. The presenters will 
be demonstrating linked data tools such as Protege, Vitro, and the LC 
BIBFRAME Editor (hopefully ready for BF 2.0). Attendees will have the 
opportunity to try the software along with the demonstration.

Beyond the Editor: Advanced Tools and Techniques for Working With 
Metadata
By Terry Reese, Ohio State University, and Shana McDanold, Georgetown 
University

Thursday, June 8th - 8 am to noon
[ http://sched.co/9gHw ]( http://sched.co/9gHw )

Are you ready to expand your MARC editing toolbox? This presentation 
will look at a variety of advanced MARC editing tools, libraries, and 
techniques to give you more options when wrangling your institution’s 
MARC data. Over the preconference, we will look at advance MarcEdit 
functions, like working with Regular expressions, automatic record 
harvesting and XML data conversions, as well as examine the new toolkit, 
MARCNext, designed to let catalogers explore adding linked data concepts 
within your MARC data. We’ll look at OpenRefine, and how uses can make 
use of OpenRefine and MarcEdit to perform powerful editing tasks that 
use to be hard to imagine without writing code. And speaking of coding – 
yes, there will be code. From MarcEdit’s Script Maker to tools you can 
find on Github, the speakers will endeavor to provide attendees with the 
information that they will need to address even the most difficult MARC 
editing project. This program is a reprise of last year’s successful and 
popular workshop.
