Project information: A project was undertaken Feb./Mar. 2010 to bring Barton coverage current to the end of 2009. Presumably currency will be maintained 2010- through the purchase of record sets.
Outline of project:
- Titles scraped from SPIE site for proceedings issued 2006-2009 (http://spiedigitallibrary.aip.org/browse/year_range.jsp) and put into a spreadsheet.
- Z39.50 query of Barton by titles to determine which items already cataloged as print/piggybacks.
- Z39.50 query of remaining titles against OCLC to find appropriate records.
- Titles manually matched with OCLC e-resource records.
- Z39.50 query of OCLC by system numbers to retrieve appropriate records (735 record total).
- Records edited in Marc Edit for consistency and to make them conform to local standards.
- Records already in Barton also edited for consistency/currency of URLs.
- Records batch-loaded by Beth.
