    Author identifier analysis: Name authority control in two institutional repositories
    (International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications, 2018-11-05) Morgan, Marina
    The aim of this poster is to analyze name authority control in two institutional repositories to determine the extent to which faculty researchers are represented in researcher identifier databases. A purposive sample of 50 faculty authors from Florida Southern College (FSC) and Ryerson University (RU) were compared against five different authority databases: Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF), Scopus, Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID), Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), and International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI). We first analyzed the results locally, then compared them between the two institutions. The findings show that while LCNAF and Scopus results are comparable between the two institutions, the difference in the ORCID, VIAF, and ISNI are considerable. Additionally, the results show that the majority of authors at each institution are represented in two or three external databases. This has implications for enhancing local authority data by linking to external identifier authority data to augment institutional repository metadata.

    Bringing a small archival collection to life on the web: Remembering the real Winnie
    (DCMI, 2015-09-05) Wilson, Sally; Morgan, Marina
    The purpose of this poster is to provide insight into the processes involved in creating an interdisciplinary online exhibition focused on a unique chapter of Canadian history from World War I. The exhibition focuses on the Colebourn Family Archive comprising digitized photographs and ephemera of Canadian soldier and veterinarian Harry Colebourn (1887–1947) who purchased a pet bear named Winnie who later became A. A. Milne’s inspiration for the classic Winnie-the-Pooh children's book series.

    Digital Asset Management Systems: Open Source or Not Open Source?
    (Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, 2016-10) Morgan, Marina; Eichenlaub, Naomi
    The objective of this poster is to provide an overview of a number of existing open source and proprietary information management systems for digital assets. We hope that this poster will assist libraries and other institutions in their process of researching and decision-making when considering implementing a management system for their digital collections.

    Discovering What Works
    (2018-02-10) Hornick, Julie N.; Morgan, Marina; Wade, Steven
    Florida Southern College ran a live comparison of two major discovery platforms with a goal of choosing one based on cost, usability, and user preference. Results led to the selection of a system and feedback from the study led to upgrading the existing discovery system, refined data mapping, and strengthened connections between discovery and resources.

    Every Picture Tells a Story: Metadata and the Citrus Collections at Florida Southern College
    (2017-06) Schaad, Gerrianne; Morgan, Marina
    Florida Southern College is located in Lakeland on the site of a former orange grove, making the connection to the Citrus Industry a constant presence in our collections. This relationship was reinforced with the establishment of the Citrus Institute in 1947 providing training and education to future leaders in the field, at that time being the only private school in the United States with a citrus curriculum. The collection of materials related to the Citrus Industry grows by donations every year. This digital collection is a composite of a variety of collections that span the 1900’s through present day. The web content management system used is ContentDM.

    Improve the Batch Cataloging at Your Library: MarcEdit to the Rescue
    (Ontario Library Association, 2016-01) Morgan, Marina; Storova, Hana
    This presentation will focus on how you can improve the batch cataloguing at your library with MarcEdit, a free software for processing library metadata. This interactive and informative session will highlight many basic and advanced MarcEdit tools and techniques, key features that will help you join and split MARC files, batch process records with regular expressions, and RDA Helper. The latest software updates and the general support for many metadata formats that can improve the access to your e-resources collections will be discussed as well.

    Moving to Linked Data: Cataloguing Outside the (MARC) Box
    (Ontario Library Association, 2015) Bigellow, Ian; Boileau, Stacey; Emon, Danielle; Leung, Rosina; Morgan, Marina; Sillius, Irene
    Linked data for libraries has been getting a lot of attention lately. Linked data offers the promise to free library metadata from its existing silos, making it available where our users are (the search engines). At the same time, linked data will incorporate the sharing of metadata in ways MARC has never allowed, bringing the opportunity for richer description, while simultaneously enhancing information retrieval through serendipitous browsing or semantic search. This poster aims to outline several steps that can be taken now to prepare for linked data through the creation of descriptive metadata.

    New Take on Name Authority Control in a Digital Repository
    (2019-01-26) Morgan, Marina
    The focus of the presentation is the analysis of name authority control in the Florida Southern College Digital Repository to determine the extent to which faculty researchers are represented in researcher identifier databases. A purposive sample of 50 faculty authors were compared against five different databases: Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF), Scopus, Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID), Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), and International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI). The findings show that while LCNAF and Scopus results are comparable, the difference in the ORCID, VIAF, and ISNI are considerable. Additionally, the results show that the majority of authors are represented in two or three external databases. This has implications for enhancing local authority data by linking to external identifier authority data to augment institutional repository metadata.

    ORCID ids in the open knowledge era
    (Springer International Publishing, 2021-05-21) Morgan, Marina; Eichenlaub, Naomi
    The focus of this poster is to highlight the importance of sufficient metadata in ORCID records for the purpose of name disambiguation. In 2017 the authors counted ORCID iDs containing minimal information. They invoked RESTful API calls using Postman software and searched ORCID records created between 2012–2017 that did not include affiliation or organization name, Ringgold ID, and any work titles. A year later, they reproduced the same API calls and compared with the results achieved the year before. The results reveal that a high number of records are still minimal or orphan, thus making the name disambiguation process difficult. The authors recognize the benefit of a unique identifier that facilitates name disambiguation and remain confident that with continued work in the areas of system interoperability and technical integration, alongside continued advocacy and outreach, ORCID will grow and develop not only in number of iDs but also in metadata robustness.
