  1. WorldCat Local for Music Report Presented by Anna E. Kijas University of Connecticut MOUG at MLA February 9, 2011

  2. MOUG Report(Aug. 2009, rev. April 2010) Display-related Issues that have not been corrected: 1) First screen of bibliographic records lacks crucial information or links to details (see examples 1, 4-4.2) 2) Essential information for music-related resources and discovery does not display (see examples 1, 1.2-1.3) 3) User cannot quickly find search terms in a bibliographic record (see example 2) 4) No distinction in display between names shared by multiple people (see example 3) 5) Uniform titles are not displayed (240, 7xx fields) (see examples 1.1-1.3) 6) Musical works and expressions do not appear together with their composers, often rendering identification of works impossible (see examples 4-4.2)

  3. MOUG Report(Aug. 2009, rev. April 2010) Other Recommendations that have not been implemented: 7) Add Next/Previous links to facilitate navigation between detailed displays within results (see example 4) 8) Enable pre-limiting by multiple formats in Advanced Search. 9) Use real-language Boolean operators in Advanced Search (AND*, OR, NOT) (see example 5) 10) Increase prominence of link to Help window in Advanced Search. 11) Issues with hyperlinks leading to works by multiple people with similar names (see example 1)

  4. Example 1 Hyperlinks do not distinguish between names shared by multiple people First screen of bib record OCLC# 50600335

  5. Example 1.1 505 field notes Partial display of 240 field

  6. Example 1.2: Compare to local catalog record in Homer Authority heading needed in WCL 7xx fields added entries

  7. Example 1.3 505 field 511 field (participant/performer) 518 field (performance or recording location/date)

  8. Example 2: Grove Music Online

  9. Example 3 No distinction is made between names shared by multiple people.

  10. Example 4 http://uconn.worldcat.org/oclc/28652000

  11. Example 4.1 No distinction between composer, performer/instrument, ensemble. 505 field notes problematic OCLC # 28652000

  12. Example 4.2: Compare to local catalog record in Homer

  13. Example 5: EBSCO interface

  14. WCL Updates Now you can: • Search using facets (see example 6) • Select multiple facets (only in basic search) (see example 6) • Use real-language Boolean operators in basic or advanced search* • Quickly access electronic resources (View now button) (see example 7) • View records with enriched content, including cover art, track names, ratings and reviews (All Music Guide), song titles, composers, and track times, genres and styles, release dates (see examples 8-8.2) Additions underway (June 2011): • 508 (creation/production note) and 511 (participant/performer note) fields • 240 (Uniform title) and 7xx (added entries) • Mobile WCL website

  15. Example 6 Search across multiple formats

  16. Example 7

  17. Example 8 http://uconn.worldcat.org/oclc/52780122

  18. Example 8.1 Performer details are lacking Full titles, key, and opus # are lacking.

  19. Example 8.2: Compare to local catalog record in Homer 7xx fields 511 field 518 field

  20. Other Issues & Observations • Automatic limits placed on certain searches (see example 9) • Links for electronic resources are sometimes difficult to locate (see example 10) • Misleading edition or format information (see examples 11-11.4) • Temporary shelf locations do not display in WCL (see example 12-12.1) • WCL only exports information from the first screen (above-the-fold) into citation management systems, such as Refworks (see example 13) • WCL assumes that each 035 a or z subfield means one holding

  21. Example 9
