MARCIVE Data Enrichment at Penn
Session Abstract
In the spring of 2022, the University of Pennsylvania Libraries partnered with MARCIVE on a project to upgrade and enrich our entire Alma database. The MARCIVE services included name and subject authority control, RDA upgrades, table of contents notes, and summary notes. The process included data extraction from Alma, MARCIVE processing and data reload to Alma. This presentation will include Penn’s reasons for pursuing this project, the steps involved, problems along the way, outcomes, and plans for using the enriched data.
