Presentation given at the RLS-athon on 9 November 2015 at the University of Edinburgh Carbon Centre. The RLS-athon looked at using RDA (Resource Description and Access) content standard to describe the works of Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. This presentation outlined the issues associated with delivering on the Library's priority to describe its collections and make a third available digitally in the next 10 years and how RDA is part of the solution (POTS)

- 2. Improving access We will make it easier to access our collections. By 2025 – the centenary of the Library’s foundation - we will complete a full listing of the Library’s holdings and have a third in digital format. 2

Notes de l'éditeur
- National Library of Scotland has an ambitious new strategy.
- One of the most exciting, scary and challenging strategic priority is to describe all of its collections and make available a third of its collections in digital format.
- However it is my opinion that this is not achievable using existing processes and content standards.
- The Library has several issues: Volume of content arriving to the Library. 10,000s of electronic legal deposit resources (e-articles, e-books), millions of websites, whole collections of archives. Volume of cataloguing required to address describe the incoming content let alone the strategic priority that requires the Library to describe its collections, and prepare enough metadata to enable digitisation process to start There are issues of duplication and inefficiencies; the Library describes the same work in different formats, and it doesn’t describe these manifestations. See example in next 3 slides
- Top item is print in main catalogue Bottom item is the digitised version of the print The Library has described the title and author identifically
- Top item is print in main catalogue Bottom item is the digitised version of the print We use different subjects in the digital and print even though the work is the same.
- Top item is print in main catalogue Bottom item is the digitised version of the print The Library incorrectly described the date, place, and publisher is incorrectly in the digitised version. It should be 2003, Edinburgh, National Library of Scotland
- Authority The Library has 3 separate collecting databases (published materials, moving image resources, unpublished resources). The Library has authority control systems in these databases however they are not integrated and therefore the Library does not always describe names consistently Legacy There are legacy standards of AACR/MARC/EAD and in house standards that are not modern. These is legacy metadata. The Library has been writing and retroconverting catalogue records from the 1700s onwards.
- Well I’m not sure how address all of this but what I do know is that it has to be efficient, very efficient! It has to be like a factory. It needs to be mechanical, as automated as possible. The Library needs the repetitive things done by machine, We need simple aspects of metadata done by unskilled workers (unskilled in cataloguing but perhaps highly skilled in image capture – complete manifestation details for the digital copy). We need the skilled workers (the cataloguers) working on the work! This is what I am looking at now at work, and the way we do things is not going to work. We need a new approach, and I believe the adoption of what I call “pure RDA” is perhaps the solution. There are issues of system suppliers not supplying the tools we need.
- I believe that RDA is part of the solution to the problems and issues that the Library faces.
