Enhancing the Utility and Stewardship of Area Studies Collections through Improved Metadata

Rich Entlich will describe a grant proposal entitled "Enhancing the Utility and Stewardship of Area Studies Collections through Improved Metadata" that was recently funded by IMLS. The project's focus is on characterizing, detecting, and correcting missing and incorrectly coded MARC data in Worldcat records for geographically significant parameters such as place of publication, geographic aspects of subject, and language of publication.
