2023 Fall DLC: Bills and Resolutions MARC Records Process
Speakers
- Stephen Kharfen, Supervisory Librarian, Library Technical Services (LTS), LSCM, GPO
Description
GPO’s Library Technical Services is testing a new process to generate MARC records for House and Senate bills and resolutions, based on the MODS metadata in GovInfo. The panel will talk about the cataloging/metadata processes and infrastructure work that have led to the development of this initiative. LTS estimates that we will produce 12,000-15,000 records per Congress based on the number of bills and resolutions in the GovInfo Congressional Bills collection. LTS will post monthly files of the records for downloading free of charge in one of its GitHub repositories.
