Proactive Legal Deposit Practices at the Sarawak State Library, Malaysia [Webinar paper]
No full textThe Sarawak State Library (SSL), established in 1999, has been designated as the official repository for all publications produced within Sarawak, a region in Malaysia. To fulfil this mandate, SSL has adopted various proactive measures to ensure publishers adhere to the regulations and meet their legal deposit obligations at both regional and national levels. This paper examines strategies designed to enhance compliance among authors and publishers and improve coordination with the National Library of Malaysia.

Non-MARC-ish BIBFRAME
No full textHow do we create and format bibliographic descriptions as linked data without reproducing not just the good, but also the bad and the ugly from MARC records? Or is dressing up MARC in a new coat a good enough transformation? Regardless if your catalogue is published as linked data or stored as traditional/disconnected data, it is most likely full of ”MARC data”, i.e. bibliographic descriptions created in accordance with MARC formatting. The Swedish National Bibliography as well as the Swedish Union Catalogue has been catalogued and published as linked data built upon BIBFRAME since 2018. It has been developed with the view that the fundamental and radical shift that is the transition to BIBFRAME needs to be more than a conversion from records to graphs, from codes to URIs. Nevertheless, six years after going into production, the problematic aspects of the MARC legacy are still extensive in the catalogue and cataloguing practice. This talk will look at practical steps taken at the National Library of Sweden on how to exploit the opportunities of linked data, beyond MARC. This includes defining entity identities and normalising properties. How can we move away from the bad and the ugly, to truly enable a new structure, while at the same time preserving the good that is decades of legacy data?
