This presentation will cover what we were able to accomplish during that time. Iowa will be focusing on the SFX-Verde synchronization, followed closely by adding licensing information to display through SFX (particularly for ILL concerns and for selectors to get information regarding our archival access). We will also be working on the connection with ALEPH in preparation for SUSHI statistics. By the end of the six months we also hope to have established basic workflows for new materials as well as for A&I databases. Wendy C.

We have replaced the Ulrich's terminology with our own terms, but have used their assignments as the basis of our categories. This presentation will explain how we have worked with the Ulrich's file and how we keep our subjects updated. Wendy C.

At Iowa, we needed to consider and adjust to varying prediction pattern practices between library units, data conversion decisions and requirements. Planning, configuration, testing, obstacles, successes and ongoing workflow will be covered. Wendy C. Robertson http://works.bepress.com/wendy_robertson/19 http://works.bepress.com/wendy_robertson/19 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:02:15 PDT Every month we get a lot of update reports for changes in the KB and we also have additional statistical reports. What should we be doing with all these reports? What are the most useful ones? Which ones should we be sure to pay attention to? Join this discussion to share what we do with these reports. Wendy C. Robertson http://works.bepress.com/wendy_robertson/18 http://works.bepress.com/wendy_robertson/18 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:41:09 PDT The University of Iowa Libraries regularly runs a data extraction from the serials module. This session will focus on how we manipulate the data by moving it into a spreadsheet or database management program. The output can be used to develop specialized and routine reports.

We would like the serials records to be merged with print records, and we would like to be able to easily pull the information as our SFX configurations change. The poster session will identify the issues, our solutions, the work we needed to be able to accomplish the loads, and the benefits of the loads. Wendy C. Robertson http://works.bepress.com/wendy_robertson/16 http://works.bepress.com/wendy_robertson/16 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:06:27 PDT This pre-conference covered the first four sessions of the Serials Cataloging Cooperative Training Program's Integrating Resources Cataloging Workshop, focusing on electronic resources. Steven Miller defined integrating resources and how to identify them. He then explained initial decisions to make when cataloging these resources. He covered the MARC fields and AACR2 rules that are unique for integrating resources and new to people accustomed to cataloging e-journals. Miller discussed how records should be updated to reflect changes in the resources, including how to update records created before the new rules. He concluded by discussing the difficulties of maintaining records for these resources. Recorder, Wendy Robertson. Steven J.
