Join us for the next NCompass Live: “Beyond MARC: BIBFRAME and the Future of Bibliographic Data”, on Thursday, January 2, 10:00-11:00 am Central Time.
NOTE! Due to the New Year’s Day holiday, this NCompass Live is being held on Thursday, January 2. It will be at the usual time, from 10am – 11am Central Time.
The Bibliographic Framework Initiative, or BIBFRAME, is intended to provide a replacement to the MARC format as an encoding standard for library catalogs. Its aim is to move library data into a Linked Data format, allowing it to interact with other data on the Web. In this session, Emily Nimsakont, the NLC’s Cataloging Librarian, will cover the basics of BIBFRAME, describe what it can provide for users of library catalogs that MARC can’t, and outline what librarians should be aware of regarding this change in the cataloging landscape.
