The NASIG Evaluation & Assessment Committee wants your feedback on the 2024 NASIG Autumn Virtual Conference: https://forms.gle/dw68YwBQw6PKUv7V6
Since the 1990s, pre-coordinated subject headings—long text strings comprising individual terms connected by double dashes (--) in the order of [topic] -- [place] -- [chronology] -- [form]—have been created in MARC records. Although these headings have been well-retained in the MARC environment, they introduce multiple discovery challenges in digital collections, where records are aggregated from both MARC and non-MARC environments. This session outlines the issues identified in the Florida Digital Digital Collections, details the workflow used to address them with MarcEdit and OpenRefine (two free data tools), and advocates for cataloging practices that consider needs beyond the original environment.
