OCATS

OCATS: Ontario Cataloguing and Technical Services Interest Group

Our goals:

  • To be a networking community to share information about trends and changes
  • To be a space to share information between all library types: public, academic, special, school, etc.
  • To support increased metadata content at OLA
  • To support professional development

 

We meet:

  • Quarterly, for two hours (in person and online)
  • Next meeting: Thursday, September 24, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

 

Information sharing:

  • Let us know what your library is doing – do you have local processes that could be helpful to another library? Are there special projects you’re working on? Are you creating local LGTBQ2S+ headings, etc.?
  • Share your local headings or ontologies in a spreadsheet or in MARC format

 

Information sharing – Indigenous subject headings:

  • Lots of libraries across Canada are trying to move forward with subject headings, etc. while waiting for official headings from LAC. Share your library’s approach, or look here to get ideas
  • There is no implicit endorsement of any of the approaches, headings or processes documented on the site
  • Please indicate what type of community consultation your library has done in this process
