How to get the most out of this presentation
• Pay attention – it is going to get all
“metadata –ish”
• What you will see on the PowerPoint slides
– 4 cases each one a different metadata tweak.
– Slide numbers – case1.2, case1.3, etc.
– Questions between each Case
– Zoom
• After the Cases
– A few details and more questions
Introduction
• UNI Quick Facts
– Cedar Falls, Iowa
– 11,294 Undergrad Students (2009 headcount)
– 1,786 Grad Students (2009 headcount)
– A guy by the name of Ali Farokhmanesh put us
on the map recently
Introduction
• Rod Library Quick Facts
– 19 librarians, 36 staff, 97 student assistants
– $6.6 million annual budget
– 1 million + holdings
– 180 + research databases
Introduction
• Rod Library Systems Info
– LIT department staff of 5
• Servers, Desktops, System Applications,
Administration, Support
– Innovative Interfaces Integrated Library System
– Ex Libris SFX OpenURL resolver
– Ex Libris MetaLib Federated Search
– Xerxes front end to Federated Search
– CONTENTdm digital library
The Problem
Unpredictable and unreliable metadata
is shortchanging our users.
A Solution
Fix the metadata if possible
before it arrives at its final destination
– the user.
How are we going to fix it?
• MetaLib tools available for the
Configuration Record
– Conversion tab
– OpenURL tab
• From here forward I assume some
familiarity with the MetaLib Administrative
Interface
How to get to these tabs

Questions
Parser Programs syntax
• Parser
VOL,a,Pg\S v\G,
• Regex
YR,a,Pa/ (\d{4}),/
Keeping IRDs up-to-date
• Tricky – not ideal
• It requires intentional revisiting of locally
customized configuration records as updates
are released
Benefiting all MetaLib users.
• Pass on the local customizations to Ex
Libris if they are general enough to solve a
problem for everyone.
• They can and have included them in future
updates.
The Last Mile
Role of the Library is
to connect users to content.
From Ex Libris Strategic Direction presentation
in Spearfish 2007 by Oren Beit-Arie
The Last Mile
High-quality metadata is becoming more
important for discovery of appropriate
resources.
The Digital Information Seeker OCLC,
from Ex Libris Strategic Direction presentation
in Fort Worth 2010 by Oren Beit-Arie
The Last Mile
Accurate transfer of metadata
between systems
Is just one aspect of providing High
Quality Metadata.
