Maximising MARC
• Opportunity to fully leverage our existing MARC data
• Return on investment for many years of sourcing/creating high quality metadata
• Opportunity to re-consider both current and legacy cataloguing practices
• New view of the underlying MARC data – incl. errors
JIBS 2008
Initial set-up
• Fresh approach – not opac replication• Critically reviewed implementations of
AquaBrowser pioneers• Determined initial data handling approach:
– MARC mapping/field handling– Locations (“branches”)– Refine facets– Occurrence/labelling of fields in results displays
