The microfilm indexes originally housed in 406 Ellis Library (Special Collections & Rare Books area) have now been moved to range 138-139 in 2 East and show a display label in the WebPac of “MU Ellis Special Collections Microfilm Indexes – Ask at a service desk.” Here is an example: http://merlin.mobius.umsystem.edu/record=b1023521~S8. I’m working on updating the check in records. We also found nearly two shelves of un-barcoded materials when scanning this collection. We will be working on adding these to our collection and then having a complete list to share with selectors for review in the near future. Thanks everyone for your attention with this project.

Know & Go: IFLA-LRM: a New Conceptual Model
June 18, 2018
1:30 pm – 2:30 pm CDT
Ellis Room 159
Description: Just when you thought things had settled down: RDA is more or less stable; MARC will be around for awhile longer … along comes IFLA-LRM. RDA is based on the conceptual models defined by FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), FRAD (Functional Requirements for Authority Data) and FRSAD (Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data). These three models are combined and refined in the IFLA-LRM (IFLA Library Reference Model), which had been approved by the RDA Steering Committee as the new conceptual model for RDA. IFLA-LRM will have a profound effect on the development of the RDA Toolkit. This session will explain IFLA-LRM and discuss how this will change RDA.

Know & Go: RDA after LRM
August 6, 2018
1:30 pm – 2:30 pm CDT
Ellis Room 159
Description: The new RDA Toolkit is here and there are significant changes. Not only has the Toolkit changed because of the 3R project, but RDA instructions have undergone substantial changes too, due to its alignment with the Library Reference Model (LRM). This hour-long session will provide a summary of the changes to RDA instructions affected by LRM. Topics to be covered include: new RDA entities, four recording methods, and the new organization of RDA instructions.
By now you have likely heard that the Catalog Management unit is no longer and Wayne will not be returning to the University Libraries. First and foremost, I want to say that cataloging is still an important function to the Libraries. If you have projects or workflows that involved Catalog Management or Wayne, please send them to me for now. I will then work with the appropriate members of my team to get the work done and/or add it to the list of projects for the future. We will be working through things the best we can, but it will take some time. Please bear with us. Thank you for your attention and understanding,

Associate University Librarian for Acquisitions, Collections, and Technical Services
Today I have a few things to share. The NNLM grant-funded librarian position in HSL has been filled, and the new person starts August 1. She is Christina Pryor, who joins us from the University of Washington in Seattle. She previously worked in St. Louis County, and some of you may remember her from the Missouri Library Association meetings. Coming with her, and with support from the Provost’s office as a spousal hire, is her husband Steven Pryor, also a librarian, who has been working in digital projects at the University of Washington Libraries, who will join RAIS in Ellis. They will be starting August 1.
Also, Wayne Sanders will not be returning, and we are starting a search soon to fill his position in Technical Services with a slightly modified title and responsibilities.
Planning for the use of Ellis’ lower level continues at the campus level, and I hope to have more to share soon.
This has seemed to be a long week, despite some of us being gone for part of it to the MOBIUS conference. I gave a presentation there on the future of libraries, and several other staff also presented on various interesting topics. (Several people have asked about my presentation, and I will be giving it at the July Staff Advisory Group meeting as the program that day, July 12.)
As I wrote last week, no additional staff reductions are planned for the Libraries in the coming year. All of you are important contributors to the work of the Libraries, and we need everyone to keep working hard.
Thanks to you all as we hang on together. Stay cool this weekend.
Ann
