When we include the number of titles done so far by our Japanese volunteer Emiko Takeuchi and the two students that are supervised by Beverly McDonald, the grand total for the month is 1,836 titles. Since this project began in March 1999, a total of 7,488 titles have been cataloged by these volunteers. Finally, Beverly McDonald, Anna Batchev and Spiro Shetuni took part in various meetings with a third candidate for the coordinator Non-Roman Languages Section position, and Beverly attended several meetings of the Diversity Committee as well as solving 36 problems from labeling. This month, more than 9000 records were removed. He is working with Nancy Helmick, Information Technology, to coordinate this deletion, and with other staff in Catalog Maintenance to capture authority records which are associated only with OHS bibs.
Similar work is needed for other sets.
For this de-duping project, Wilma completed 206 in July. Noelle Van Pulis prepared a boolean file, identifying more than 53,000 short analytic records. This is being used by the Department to plan for in-house conversion of these records, in conjunction with information from the old tracing file. The full bibliographic records for the set, German Baroque Literature, Yale University Library collection, are ready to be loaded. Planning for the load of the major microform set individual bibs is therefore likely to be done differently than other sets, for which item records were added upon load.
