Summary Report on PPCCP Phase 2 -- Mary Lin  ( PPCCPPhaseII.pdf)


Bill McCloy reported on the persistence of records in the OCLC database with Wade-Giles romanized terms (   WadeGilesinOCLC.ppt  )

Possibility in Digital Collection Management: Introduction to CONTENTdm -- Hitoshi Kamada  ( CONTENTdm.ppt  )


Microsoft IME adoption for CJK script entry and editing -- Rob Britt / Bill McCloy / Sun Yoon Lee ( CJKIMEs.ppt  )

Questions

In view of the continued existence of unconverted Wade-Giles records in the database, the question was raised as to how OCLC plans to clean up these records. Katada explained that, as OCLC's Quality Control section has very limited resources to handle CJK data, the responsibility for cleaning such records would fall to member staff and librarians. In response, it was suggested and approved that the Chair of the Users Group shall write a letter to OCLC requesting that at least one staff with Chinese, Japanese, or Korean capability be hired for Quality Control.
