- W1557868170 abstract "A survey of 261 libraries was undertaken to determine level of use of and duties performed by student assistants in monographic cataloging operations. Ninety-five of 142 responding libraries (64.1 percent) indicate that they use student assistants for some type of monographic cataloging tasks. These tasks are downloading of bibliographic and authority records, monographic cataloging, classification, subject heading authority control, holdings, database maintenance, and editing of 246 or 505 MARC tags. Some respondents expressed reluctance to use student assistants for higher-level cataloging tasks. ********** Despite being surrounded by a steady labor supply of thousands of inexpensive and intelligent individuals, use of student assistants at State University of New York at Albany (SUNY-Albany) traditionally has been limited to processing of materials (applying call number labels, security strips, property stamps) and other similar lower-level duties (retrieving of materials from stacks, pulling loose periodicals to be bound). Since 1999, graduate students from university's School of Information Science and Policy (SISP) have been used for special projects. Two SISP graduate students worked on language-specific projects due to their bilingual or polylingual skills. One project involved upgrading of brief records for Chinese language materials and other project involved processing of gift books in Russian and other Slavic languages. For these two projects, workflow was fairly simple and linear. A third graduate student worked on cataloging of new acquisitions that were to become part of Miriam Snow Mathes Historical Children's Literature collection. Due to detailed and unique cataloging provided to these materials, staff member responsible for cataloging these materials worked one on one with graduate students. However, changes, both internal (reduction of staff) and external (fewer print materials being purchased, increased emphasis upon electronic resources) over last several years have led current administration to examine workflow and level of staff required to complete various duties in monographic cataloging. Cornel] University librarian Sarah E. Thomas stated, the world's information resources are abundant, but time is a scare commodity and that there is a chronic imbalance between amount of work to be done and resources available to do it. (1) These two statements reflect what many academic libraries, both large and small, are encountering. These circumstances caused SUNY-Albany to consider utilization of student assistants in monographic cataloging workflow. A survey was constructed in order to gather information about how other institutions were or were not employing students, with idea that SUNY-Albany could then take advantage of knowledge and experiences of other institutions. Literature Review Using student assistants in cataloging has been discussed in current literature, but published papers primarily focus upon their use in projects rather than as part of standard workflow. Gnidarelli and Cary discussed use of art students to catalog a gift of approximately 12,000 art exhibition catalogs at Virginia Commonwealth University. (2) Over four years, six different student assistants (both graduate and undergraduate students all involved in study of arts) worked on cataloging this collection. Three of students already had been trained in copy cataloging using Library of Congress records. Under close supervision of librarians, these students were able to use their previous copy cataloging knowledge and subject knowledge to enhance less than-full records, including assignment of call numbers and subject headings. Guidarelli and Cary made significant points that using students: (1) cost less than half cost of outsourcing when estimating cost of copy cataloging per title; and (2) produced more complete records. …" @default.
