Report
“The community college is devoted first and
foremost to teaching and learning.” (Vaughan, 2000, pg. 7) It is
because of this focus that I selected the library of a small community
college in southeastern Idaho, Eastern Idaho Technical College (EITC),
for the assignment of identifying and describing online resources.
(Miller, 2004) The school and the school’s library are both small
by Arizona community college standards from a facilities and from a
collection standpoint, so there is an opportunity for real benefits to
be gleaned from augmenting their catalog to include World Wide Web
(WWW) resources. From my previous experience with online
information retrieval, there seems to be significantly more information
of value to the secondary and immediately post-secondary student as
compared with much younger students or academics engaged in rigorous
research. A small community college library that is primarily
focused on student education is ideal for including cataloged WWW
resources.
To pick the broad subject area, EITC’s course
offerings were examined. One of their major fields of study is
computer technology emphasizing web programming. A large portion
of the students will have an interest in the Internet both from a
historical-social prospective and an engineering-programming
prospective. It is with this in mind that I selected resources
that would be useful in teaching a freshman or sophomore college
student about the Internet and Internet technologies.
Of the many challenges involved in this assignment,
three issues continuously reoccurred: permanence, quality, and
consistency. The concern of permanence, or rather the
question of whether or not the resource would be available when needed,
is one of the fundamental problems of WWW resource development.
In building a traditional collection of physical materials, it is a
given that (barring theft or damage) when a resource is secured, it
will remain available as part of the collection. But because of
the nature of the web, even resources from ostensibly reliable origins
can disappear or change significantly at any time. Automated link
checking technology exists but is not a comprehensive solution to
changes in web page content. Coleman (2004, pg.70) proposes a
simple but effective test in the Resource
Selection Checklist, “Are you able to access the URL at least
twice in two different weeks and did it function relatively well both
time?” This mitigates the issue of permanence, although it still
must be identified as a concern.
Quality is a priority for both digital and
non-digital resources. Traditionally print materials go through
additional screening processes (editors, peers, publisher) that web
sites do not (although there are certainly exceptions on both
sides). This makes it even more important to critically screen
web resources as a librarian. Kapoun (1998) suggests specific
tests in the areas of accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency and
coverage. But Coleman’s Checklist
(2004, pg. 70) is faster and easier to use (although requiring a bit
more subjective work by the evaluator). Sifting the wheat from
the chaff is a major obstacle for including WWW resources in an
academic library catalog, but one that librarians are uniquely suited
to address.
Finally, the idea of consistency is frustrated by
the lack of authority control on the Internet. This is an area
where the cataloging librarian can really make a difference. The
Dublin Core (DC) metadata standard does not require a controlled
vocabulary for the Subject element, but it does recommend it.
Using a controlled vocabulary like the Library of Congress Subject List
for the Subject element is a way to provide more consistency and make
it more likely that resources can be located when needed. A
controlled vocabulary is a way to limit the terms that can be used to
categorize information so that catalogers and information retrievers
use the same words when identifying concepts. There is still a
certain amount of subjectivity involved in selecting the terms from the
list—metadata creation is art as well as science, one that experience
and training are likely to improve. The other controlled
vocabularies in DC (supplemented) include the elements Type, Format,
Audience, Interactivity Type, Interactivity Level and Typical Learning
Time, but these are drawn from much shorter and more specific lists of
terms.
Crosswalk
A crosswalk is a conversion between metadata
standards. “It is important to remember that the conversion
process, via crosswalk, from one schema to another lacks
precision. Few metadata crosswalks provide round-trip conversion
with no loss of data.” (Taylor, 2004, ppg. 154-155) The
following is a DC to MARC crosswalk with the level of partial
qualification suggested by Coleman (2004):

and interactive tutorials to provide information about computing.
The primary focus is on web-oriented technologies such as basic
Internet services, Usenet, HTML, and CGI scripting languages, but there
are also sections on more general purpose computing topics such as
UNIX, C & C++, and Microsoft applications.
