On Monday June 17 the task force is meeting to choose the top 3 databases. I will keep you posted. - Scope of the retroconversion of state documents project
Colleen Kirby responded:
In the Documents paper collection there are approximately 42,018 individual items (I subtracted second copies). I am estimating that at least 80% of the collection is serials and the rest are monographs. That gives us 33,614 individual items that are serials and 8,404 individual items that are monographs. I estimate that serial titles average 25 issues per titles. That gives us 1,344 serial titles and 8,404 monograph titles for a total of 9,748 titles. We have cataloged 5,148 titles so far. That leaves us with 4,600 titles to catalog. Some of these will have catalog records that have been done by other libraries. However Carol will still have to review the document and the record and bring the record up to full-level cataloging standards if the record falls below that standard. If Carol catalogs 4 retro titles per day, taking out vacation and holidays, (she isn't allowed to be sick) she will catalog 916 titles per year. Because of the complexity of some of the cataloging, and the fact that the retrospective project is not her only job, original cataloging of 4 titles per day may be overly optimistic. At that rate it will take approximately 5 years to finish the retro cataloging for the Documents paper collection.
Using the same formula for CDRoms and microfiche there are 4,102 individual items in these collections. 3,281 of the items are serials and 821 of the items are monographs. Estimating that serial titles average 25 issues per title there are 131 serial titles and 821 monograph titles for a total of 952 titles. Approximately 425 of these titles have already been cataloged, leaving 527 titles to catalog. At the rate of 4 retro titles per day, using the same formula as above it will take approximately 7 months to finish the retro cataloging for the Documents CDRom and microfiche collections.
The entire retro cataloging project should take between 5 and 6 years. Besides the retro cataloging project Carol will be cataloging all of the new state documents that are received, and also those that are born digital, as well as items for the general collection that require original cataloging. Carol also presents cataloging workshops, answers cataloging questions for librarian around the state, is expected to contribute original name authority records to the NACO project on a weekly basis, and serves on library committees. In the past Carol has provided original cataloging for state document monographs. Cataloging serials, electronic resources, microfiche, and maps will require a learning curve on her part. Until Carol feels comfortable cataloging all the various formats, she will be cataloging a minimum of 2 state document titles per day.
The estimated 5 to 6 years does not take into account state documents that are currently only available on state agency web sites.
