About Event

Join us for a compelling talk at the British Library as we delve into our innovative approach to reducing cataloguer workload. Discover our journey from using Z39.50 to harnessing the Metadata API, gaining insights into the workflow for generating records from catalogue cards, particularly in our Chinese collection. We'll share the motivations behind the project, challenges encountered, and the development of an intuitive app to aid cataloguers in selecting search results. Looking ahead, we'll explore future possibilities, including extending this process to works in languages beyond Mandarin, showcasing our commitment to efficiency and accessibility in cataloguing practices.
