Serials and continuing resources present a variety of unique challenges in bibliographic management, from special issues and unnumbered supplements to recording the changes that a long-running periodical can experience over time. Easing cataloguers through the RDA: Resource Description and Access transition by showing the continuity with past practice, serials cataloguing expert Jones frames the practice within the structure of the FRBR and FRAD conceptual models on which RDA is based. With serials’ special considerations in mind, he Explains the familiarities and differences between AACR2 and RDADemonstrates how serials cataloguers’ work fits in the cooperative context of OCLC, CONSER and NACOPresents examples of how RDA records can ultimately engage with the Semantic WebOccasional serials cataloguers and specialists alike will find useful advice here as they explore the structure of the new cataloguing framework.

Serials and continuing resources present a variety of unique challenges in bibliographic management, from special issues and unnumbered supplements to recording the changes that a long-running periodical can experience over time. Of this book’s first edition, the Australian Library Journal declared, “Highly recommended for any situation – technical service departments or library students – where serials need to be cataloged using RDA protocols.” Jones, a serials authority in the field and a major contributor to the 3R Project, here updates his authoritative text. Framing the practice within the structure of the IFLA LRM conceptual model on which RDA is now based, and its new modelling of serials, his guide introduces the concept of diachronic work and explains how serials, as a type of diachronic work, can be described using the new attribute element extension plan; explores new developments after the completion of the 3R Project, with references to AACR2 as a touchstone; introduces the new term work group and demonstrates its usefulness in enabling relationships and supporting collocation; demonstrates how serials catalogers' work fits in the cooperative context of OCLC, CONSER, and NACO; and presents examples of how RDA records can ultimately engage with the Semantic Web.

With reproductions of 347 previously unpublished images, this publication surveys a rarely seen side of life in the Nazi Third Reich. These highly personal photographs come from private albums compiled by the soldiers themselves, recording moments of diversion and repose.

In The Corinthians, curators Ed Jones and Timothy Prus present more than 200 slides taken with Kodachrome film. The images in this collective visual portrait describe the new prosperity of a postwar United States, highlighting barbecues, big cars and families on vacation.

Linked data is now essential for sharing collections on the open web. Linked Data for Cultural Heritage gathers a stellar list of contributors to help readers understand linked data concepts by examining practice and projects based in libraries, archives, and museums. Linked open data remains very much a work in progress, and much of the progress has taken place within the domain of the cultural heritage institutions: libraries, archives, and museums. There is no question that the structure of linked data, and the machine inferencing it supports, shows great promise for discoverability. What will be the ‘killer app’ that breaks linked open data out to the wider world and accelerates its uptake? Perhaps it will be a project described in this volume. Content covered includes: - a very simple description of linked data, summing up its promises and challenges - a survey of the use of linked data in significant projects across the cultural heritage domain, including Europeana and the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) - practical discussion of migrating a catalogue from a MARC environment to one of linked data and the possibilities that open up in terms of the broader scholarly community - reviewing and reimagining library thesauri, metadata schemas, and information discovery, to look at how controlled vocabularies integrate library practice with linked data - an examination of the role of authority control, identifiers and vocabularies, including use of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and the SPARQL query language - Carol Jean Godby describes OCLC’s experiments with Schema.org as the foundation for a model of library resource description expressed as linked data - the development of the Bibliographic Framework Initiative (BIBFRAME) data model and a description of the fundamental differences between MARC and BIBFRAME. This survey of the cultural heritage linked data landscape will be a key resource for metadata practitioners and researchers within all cultural heritage contexts and all students and academics within the information science and digital humanities fields.

Reflecting the new modelling for serials introduced by IFLA’s Library Reference Model in the most recent revisions to RDA, this up-to-date resource is an important tool for day-to-day practice as well as a reference manual for unusual or difficult cases.Serials and continuing resources present a variety of unique challenges in bibliographic management, from special issues and unnumbered supplements to recording the changes that a long-running periodical can experience over time.
