preconference will endeavor to provide you with the tools that you need to
take your MarcEdit skills to the next level.  Presented by the software
creator, the preconference offers attendees and opportunity to learn using
real-world questions address issues like automation, regular expressions,
and common MARC processing questions.  Additionally, this presentation will
look at new functionality in MarcEdit 7…from new linked data functionality,
deeper integrations with OCLC, and new tools related to clustering and
accessibility – this preconference will give users the opportunity to see
not only what MarcEdit can do today, but where it is going.

Are you baffled by BIBFRAME? Overwhelmed by ontologies? Or feeling turmoil
about Turtle? Then this workshop is for you. Learn the practical
foundations of Linked Data with a particular focus on serials in this
one-day workshop. The presenters will go beyond just talking about RDF

application can be utilized for serials. Topics to be covered:

   -    Linked Data 101
   -    Ontology Basics
   -    Turtle Tutorial
   -    BIBFRAME
   -    Other ontologies for libraries
   -    CONSER Standard Record to BIBFRAME 2.0 Mapping
   -    Current hot topics in serials and linked data

Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring a laptop. The presenters will be
demonstrating online linked data tools that attendees will have the
opportunity to use, and the workshop will include hands-on exercises
working with ontologies and creating linked data descriptions of serials.
*Day 2*:

*Speaker*: Steven Shadle



Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the cataloging standard that
replaced AACR2. This Basic Serials Cataloging Workshop, part of the Serials
Cataloging Cooperative Training Program, will offer an introduction to
cataloging serials with RDA. It will cover RDA and CONSER standards, RDA
core elements and terminology, transcribed versus recorded elements, new or
revised areas of information, and creation of new records and serial
maintenance. Attendees will participate in hands-on exercises which will
include use of tools and documentation in support of cataloging with RDA.
Access to the PowerPoint presentation will be given to participants ahead
of the workshop via email.




*Title:Beyond “Set it and Forget it”: Proactively Managing Your EZproxy
Server**Speaker*: Jenny Rosenfeld



When was the last time you really took a deep dive into your EZproxy
configuration? Many EZproxy administrators are happy that EZproxy “just
works,” but they may be missing critical opportunities to provide better
access to their e-resources. In this workshop, Jenny Rosenfeld, Senior
Implementation Program Manager at OCLC, will share a simple monthly routine
to help reduce your patrons’ barriers to access and identify potential
security concerns. We’ll also cover current topics of interest to the
EZproxy community, such as how to modify database stanzas to support HTTPS,
for both OCLC-hosted and self-hosted customers.
