Channel: LD4
Date: 2020-07-15

This presentation will describe an evaluative study of the cataloguing module of an In-House Software named UIILMS, which is used by the Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan, Nigeria for managing records. The linked data used in creating the software being internet based, allows use of "free" data, however, connectivity issues often slow down or completely stall cataloguing procedures. The innovativeness of the software will be highlighted while at the same time describing and discussing the perceptions of the Cataloguing Section staff, in the use of the UIILMS. Recommendations will be made for improvement of the software. The audience are expected to be GLAM staff who work on cataloguing or metadata as well as software developers.
