  • Data Wrangling
  • -or-
  • Catalogs?
  • We Dont Need No Stinking Catalogs

2
What Do Librarians Want?
  • Information, and lots of it
  • Printed seasonal catalogs not as useful as
    subject catalogs
  • The more tailored the information, the easier the
    buying decision

3
What Constitutes Data?
  • Not simply catalog copy
  • But not just ONIX, either
  • Whatever it is, needs to be flexible
  • Images, audio, video, reviews . . .

4
Title/Data Management Service
  • What a title management service looks like
  • Feeds multiple databases, including our own
    website
  • Can generate single- or multiple title
    announcements to an email list publisher specifies

5
Do Librarians Still Want Printed Catalogs?
  • Yes
  • And no
  • Well, it dependsjust be sure they have access to
    as much information as possible

6
Is Season an Outdated Concept?
  • IMHO yes (e.g., BN presentations are for 5-mo
    titles, no matter what catalog)
  • Information as far in advance as possible for
    long-range planning
  • But just-in-time buying
  • Will POD pave the way to no returns?

7
Overheard Numerous Times at the Charleston
Conference
  • If its not digital, its invisible.
  • That goes for data, too.
  • Thank you.
