Topic Areas: Ways in which surrogate records
can be encoded for
computer-readability are explored. Includes MARC, SGML, and
XML.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify why we code records for machine manipulation.
- Describe how we code records for machine manipulation.
- Apply key encoding standards that are used in libraries.
Guiding Questions:
- Why and how do we code
records for machine
manipulation?
- Why is encoding standardized?
- Will BIBFRAME, XML, or some
other encoding system replace
MARC in library catalogs?
- What's wrong with MARC?
