Collection Management. The Collection Management team acquires and catalogues materials and is responsible for collating and verifying all bibliographic details necessary for ordering, receiving and financial accounting of materials for target groups. It is also responsible for the creation and maintenance of accurate user-friendly catalogue records for each item acquired. This team comprises the Regional Library Manager & Young Library staff. Acquisitions and Serials: • Manage expenditure of capital book votes and serial budgets • Procedures include high level bibliographic verification, placing of orders and the receiving and invoicing of all acquisitions • Establish and maintain arrangements with suppliers, getting the best deal for the library in discounting and other financial or service arrangements • Provide specialised knowledge and advice on acquisitions and serials issues. • Evaluate financial performance regularly, deviations and potential problems are identified and appropriate action is taken and/or reported to the appropriate people with minimal delay. Cataloguing: • Catalogue records are produced using the latest editions of AACR2, Library of Congress subject headings, DDC and Marc. Items catalogued include books, audio-visual material, electronic resources, community language items, high level reference material and unique local history items, including maps, pictures, microfilm and fiche and archives. • Records can be tailored in response to specific requirements of users including the addition of extra fields and notes • Matching records are downloaded onto the library management system and edited and enhanced to suit local requirements. For any material without a matching record, original records are created using the Cataloguing Client software. • Authority files and catalogue records are monitored regularly to maintain the integrity of the catalogue. When an item is dispatched from Collection Management, it has a detailed catalogue record and is barcoded, stamped, spine label affixed and covered if required.
Collection Management. Building and maintaining a collection that is relevant to the community’s needs in both scale, quality and variety of format, is fundamental to the provision of an effective library service. The collection encompasses physical material, digital material and access to digital portals (subscriptions). The management of these formats will vary. Similarly, managing the collection through the various stages from selection to disposal of materials will require adherence to the following base standards.
3.1 A Collection Management Plan which incorporates a five year plan to revitalise the collection will be prepared and reviewed annually.
3.2 The collection will be aggressively weeded to identify and remove from display, those materials that:
(a) Are irretrievably damaged.
(b) Have not been borrowed for two years.
(c) Are out of date and/or could present misleading information to patrons. The weeding process is also to identify materials that have not been borrowed and ascertain whether such materials should be relocated to other service points or disposed of.
3.3 Review all materials prior to disposal to ensure that items of value, historical significance or potential use are retained within the region.
3.4 The rate of acquiring new materials should be set at a level which enables community demand to be met and acceptable collection turnover rates to be achieved. Industry standards indicate that this would require an acquisitions strategy geared towards a collection of at least 1.8 items per capita, with 10 per cent of the collection replaced per annum.
3.5 Materials selection and acquisition will be the responsibility of the WRLC’s Headquarters and will take place through a combination of the following activities:
(a) Direct purchases from suppliers. Selections will be made predominantly by the Headquarters, but an allowance will be provided to the Branch Librarians/Officers to benefit from their knowledge of local preferences.
(b) Purchases via consortium arrangements with other library services
(c) Acquisition of materials from other sources.
3.6 Following receipt, new library materials will be catalogued and available on shelves no later than:
(a) One week for periodicals.
(b) Two weeks for items requested by patrons or purchased to fulfill reservations.
(c) Five weeks for all other items.
3.7 Allocate materials to service points using the criteria in the Collection Management Plan, which will take into account the service point profile, expressed and antici...
Collection Management. With its extensive experience in facilitating the cultural heritage sector, PIM implemented a collection management system built for connecting metadata and collections. - Data-Entry: To create advanced metadata the collection management system uses a data entry tool. - Triples: The collection management system provides the ability to use and manage triple relations. Triple relations are a core part of connecting the information in the Daguerreobase to the semantic web. - Thesauri/entries lists: To make use of the possibilities of Linked Open Data, thesauri/entries lists are built following the SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) methodology. The proposed collection management system will make use of the Open Source SKOS management system OpenSKOS for the user to be able to manage all used thesauri.
