The Fall 2007 Issue of CONSERline is Now Available

The Fall 2007 Issue of CONSERline is Now Available (#29)

Articles include:
+ CONSER Standard Record News

One full day of the operations meeting was devoted to working through the documentation for the standard and identifying areas that needed to be clarified. The summary of the meeting is available from the CONSER web site. To provide a framework for our discussions, Melissa Beck (UCLA) and Valerie Bross (UCLA) presented an SCCTP training session on the CSR developed by Melissa on behalf of the PCC. The session outlined the record element requirements, special instructions and record examples in the CSR Metadata Application Profile (MAP). After the session, members discussed cataloging questions that were not clearly addressed in the documentation or that required further decision-making by the group.

+ DLF Registry of Digital Masters

CONSER representatives attending the May CONSER operations meeting discussed the Digital Library Federation’s Registry of Digital Masters Record Creation Guidelines (RDM) recently revised as version 2, May 2007.

+ Integrating Resources Cataloging

In June members of CONSER and BIBCO began to authenticate records for integrating resources on OCLC and these records will soon be distributed in a single "continuing resources" file to CDS MARC Distribution Service (MDS) subscribers. Subscribers of the “MDS serials” file include several ILS vendors, providers of publication access management systems and others services that rely on knowledge bases that cover continuing resources. CDS has provided its subscribers a customary 60-day notification that the file now contains records for integrating resources.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
