Veve, Marielle
The following lightning talk session introduces a freely accessible, peer-reviewed guide that
effectively explains how to catalog remote access multimedia, including podcasts, streaming
video, streaming audio, e-books, and web games. Created by Marielle Veve, University of
Tennessee lecturer at the School of Information Sciences, this scholarly guide utilizes an
innovative pedagogical approach that integrates streaming animated slides into distance
education of cataloging. http://www.lib.utk.edu/~veve/streaming-guides.html

The Question of Establishing Name Authority Records for Theses and Dissertation AuthorsMcGurr, Melaniehttp://hdl.handle.net/2374.MIA/45012013-10-22T18:11:34Z2012-05-18T00:00:00ZTo Establish or Not to Establish? The Question of Establishing Name Authority Records for Theses and Dissertation Authors
McGurr, Melanie
Recent vigorous discussion on the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) listserv raised a
number of questions on the ethics of establishing theses and dissertation authors using birth
dates and other information found on author's work (such as the vita or other personal data).
This presentation will use that question as a starting point to investigate the reasoning behind
establishing these authors, how they should be established, why theses and dissertation
authors should be treated any differently than other authors, and how OCLC's increased
addition of articles into their database complicate matters. In addition, the further challenge
that RDA adoption might cause will be presented and discussed. Questions and discussion are
welcome, and participants do not need to be NACO participants to join and contribute to the
dialogue.

Martin, Heath; Tussing, Ashley
Increasingly dynamic collections, changing curriculums, and tightening budgets work together
to put more and more pressure on liaisons to stay well-informed and respond nimbly when
confronting collection management decisions and opportunities. In many cases, data
potentially useful to liaisons already exists within technical services units as a product of other
library activities and functions. When approached from a collection management perspective,
this data can often be repurposed to meet the information needs of academic liaisons and
other collection managers as they attempt to meet the demands of evolving liaison roles and
changing collection priorities. The presenters will discuss their efforts at the University of
Kentucky Libraries to develop enhanced reporting instruments and procedures intended to
employ technical services data to the greater benefit of academic liaisons.

Wisneski, Richard; Chen, Suzhen; Church, Stephanie
This presentation will showcase work being done at an academic library to encode a collection
of manuscripts on Cleveland and the Western Reserve in XML format following TEI guidelines,
and address the objectives of and rationale for this endeavor. "The Manuscripts Relating to the
Early History of the Western Reserve, 1795-1869" collection consists of over 200 manuscripts,
and includes correspondences, journals, business records, government documents, and land
surveys. This collection, housed at the Western Reserve Historical Society, is being transcribed
and encoded by technical services staff. Such work is sometimes labor-intensive and timeconsuming.
The project also raises a number of issues, including: Why perform text encoding at
all? Should such work be left to scholars in the Digital Humanities instead? How can librarians
and digital humanists collaborate? And how practical is it for technical services units to
undertake such work? We will address these issues.
