Abstract

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) University Libraries recently completed a pilot project exploring the repurposing of descriptive metadata for archival collections stored in ArchivesSpace for the creation of original MAchine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) records contributed to OCLC WorldCat. The libraries’ past and present processes for generating finding aids and cataloging records are discussed, and specific edits to the MARC records generated by this new workflow are detailed. © 2017, Published with license by Taylor & Francis © 2017, © Carol Ou, Katharine L.
