| Description: | While beta testing Millennium Silver, in the summer of 2004, Canton Public Library engaged in a revision of its cataloging operations. Objectives included: * Migration from Innopac to Millennium Silver cataloging * Enhancement of cataloging workflows * Lowering overall cataloging costs. The project involved migration from OCLC (CatME) to ITS-MARC, with OCLC CatExpress and WebClarity's BookWhere as backup sources of data, via Z39.50 searching. Print Wizard (for labels) and Data Express were also implemented. MilSTAT and MilCAT session statistics were used to assess productivity. This case study outlines: * New software and bibliographic utilities evaluated * Documenation, training and flowcharts developed * Anticipated problems * Implementation and data collection. The case study is designed to be of relevance to coordinators and administrators (rather than catalogers) with beginning to intermediate levels of experience managing technical services. |
