Optimizing Metadata in MetaLib: Enhancing Quality OpenURLs for Better User Experience

This presentation explores strategies for optimizing metadata within MetaLib to improve user access to information through reliable OpenURLs. We will review four different case studies, each addressing unique metadata configurations that enhance citation accuracy and display for library resources. Attendees will gain insights into managing metadata effectively, discuss challenges faced, and engage with questions after each case. Our focus is to empower library systems to overcome unpredictability in metadata that limits user satisfaction.

  2. How to get the most out of this presentation • Pay attention – it is going to get all “metadata –ish” • What you will see on the PowerPoint slides • 4 cases each one a different metadata tweak. • Slide numbers – case1.2, case1.3, etc. • Questions between each Case • Zoom • After the Cases • A few details and more questions

  3. Introduction • UNI Quick Facts • Cedar Falls, Iowa • 11,294 Undergrad Students (2009 headcount) • 1,786 Grad Students (2009 headcount) • A guy by the name of Ali Farokhmanesh put us on the map recently

  4. Introduction • Rod Library Quick Facts • 19 librarians, 36 staff, 97 student assistants • $6.6 million annual budget • 1 million + holdings • 180 + research databases

  5. Introduction • Rod Library Systems Info • LIT department staff of 5 • Servers, Desktops, System Applications, Administration, Support • Innovative Interfaces Integrated Library System • Ex Libris SFX OpenURL resolver • Ex Libris MetaLib Federated Search • Xerxes front end to Federated Search • CONTENTdm digital library

  6. The Problem Unpredictable and unreliable metadata is shortchanging our users.

  7. A Solution Fix the metadata if possible before it arrives at its final destination – the user.

  8. How are we going to fix it? • MetaLib tools available for the Configuration Record • Conversion tab • OpenURL tab • From here forward I assume some familiarity with the MetaLib Administrative Interface

  9. How to get to these tabs
