Even if your library isn’t currently using linked data, it’s helpful to be aware of these practices, especially with the increasing presence of URIs in cataloging data. The posts shared here over the past 6 weeks have only presented some introductory material on linked data and URIs in MARC records.

Here are some links to more information on these topics if you want to dive deeper:

• World Wide Web Consortium (WC3) wiki on linked data:
  https://www.w3.org/wiki/LinkedData
• Library of Congress Linked Data Service: https://id.loc.gov/
• Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) URI FAQs
  https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/bibframe/TaskGroups/URI%20FAQs.pdf
• PCC Task Force on Linked Data Best Practices Final Report:
  https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/taskgroup/linked-data-best-practices-final-report.pdf
• PCC Guide to Formulating and Obtaining URIs:
  https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/taskgroup/linked-data-best-practices-final-report.pdf

This is the final post in a series weekly blog posts written by Zahra Gordon, the NHSL Cataloger, which will explain “Linked Data,” an emerging topic in the library field, and how it relates to “Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs),” which are appearing in subfields of MARC records with increasing frequency.

   

We are still juggling ILL driver shortages and van maintenance schedules, so!
Today’s SW route and tomorrow’s SW-A route have been combined, modified, and shortened into one Friday [June 12] route. 

The libraries on these routes who WILL RECEIVE deliveries tomorrow (Friday) are as follows:

New London  
Newport  
Washington  
Charlestown  
Keene  
Marlborough  
Dublin  
Mont Vernon  
Weare
