Using Art to Advocate for Your Work
(2022-01-01) Kardos, Ann
Art allows us to translate information into a format that others can engage with and understand creatively. I’ll discuss a library community-organizing embroidery project that I launched to share the experiences of catalogers and metadata professionals, with the goal to gain support and advocacy from our non-technical services colleagues. The pieces resulted in an exhibition, currently on display, which showcases the works of librarians from 20 states, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Re-Turn and Face the Strange: A Technology Implementation, Change Management, and a Pandemic
(2021-05-26) Neslin, Aaron; Kardos, Ann; Paquette, Michelle; Van Alstine, Colin
We will present our experiences and reflections of change management during our multi-year implementation of the FOLIO LSP. For those that are unfamiliar, FOLIO is an open source library management platform, being developed by an international community of developers and institutions. We’ll be looking at our change (and encouraging you to look at changes in your own institutions) through the lens of John Kotter’s 8 steps, from his Book “Leading Change”. It is absolutely not the only framework for change- there are others including models from the PMI, Detta Jones, Bridges .
Cross-functional policy development for a Data Repository
(2021-01-01) Atwood, Thea P.; Jerome, Erin; Kardos, Ann; McGinty, Stephen; Radik, Melanie; Reznik-Zellen, Rebecca
Policy can articulate the scope of work. For repositories that house data, policy can help users manage expectations, especially for individuals who are new to data sharing, or where expectations for sharing data have changed. We cover some of the current literature around the process for writing policy, specifically focusing on policy for data collections and repositories, factors that encouraged us to create a repository policy, our collaborative process for creating the policy, and lessons learned. We hope that others can use our processes to build their own policy that reflects the needs of their campuses and scholars and further moves the needle toward the “Library as Publisher” model.

Creating a Sustainable Workflow for Converting Online Finding Aids into MARC Records
(2019-01-01) Kardos, Ann
Data regarding library collections exists in many locations. While this often works for those researchers who know what they're looking for, one institution created a plan to convert online finding aids into MARC records for the discovery layer. The project makes additional avenues to discover unique collections but also gives opportunities to create Library of Congress name authority records for distinct entities or hidden individuals and groups. This project became a model for standardization of this work across the consortium, and brought together stakeholders from metadata, special collections, archives, digital collections and library IT.
