- Examining Present Practices
to Inform Future Metadata Use: An Empirical Analysis of MARC Content
Designation Utilization 2004-2007 with Dr. William E. Moen
-
- A study funded
by the Institute of Museum and Library Studies (IMLS) which exams the extent of catalogers' use of content
designation available in MARC 21 by analyzing nearly 56 million records from
OCLC's WorldCat database. The project has three goals:
- Provide empirical evidence to document MARC 21 content designation use
- Explore the evolution of MARC content designation for patterns of availability and
adoption/use level
- Investigate a methodological approach to understand the factors contributing to current
levels of MARC content designation use and relationships with the cataloging
enterprise.
