The tool is designed for large-batch record processing, including batch editing of MARC records, character set conversions and record extractions. MarcEdit provides a number of useful functions that can be used to simplify database maintenance activities, as well as provide libraries with an invaluable tool for customizing and correcting vendor records before introducing them to one's database. This preconference is sponsored by grants from the Mountain Plains Library Association and the McGoogan Library of Medicine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Presenter bio: Terry Reese works at The Ohio State University Libraries as the Head of Digital Initiatives. His primary research interest is the development of services and infrastructure to support large scale data projects and preservation. Terry has been an active researcher and participant in the library development community since 1999, working on a wide range of development and research projects. His unwavering interest in issues surrounding the continuing evolution of library metadata remains a common thread throughout his research, and informs his work as the author and creator of MarcEdit — a tool developed primarily for the library cataloging community to lower technical barriers and empower metadata librarians to take more control over their organization’s metadata. Intended audience: Catalogers and other library staff with technical services duties, and systems librarians and programmers who manipulate library bibliographic data. 6

Getting More $$ From Your Book Sale or Is This Old Book Valuable? (Part 1) Presenters: Cecelia Lawrence; North Platte Public Library & Michael Sauers; Do Space It's easy to make a little money by selling the library's discards and donations. Just fifty-cents for a paperback and one dollar for hardcover and soon you'll be able to buy a new bestseller or two for the collection. But what does it take to make some more serious money for your library. The best way is to start identifying those gems and start selling them for what they're worth. Cecelia Lawrence, Director of the North Platte Public Library, and Michael Sauers, Director of Technology for the Do Space in Omaha have more than 40 years between them as book collectors and sellers and they will show and discuss how libraries can generate additional funds for their book sales through finding rare and valuable books in their donations, even their withdrawn items. They will help you understand the world and terminology of the rare book world and explore the impact of scarcity, author, edition, condition, age, aesthetics, and association on these older books. Once you have this information, they will then show you how to best utilize online resources to determine a value for the book in hand, discuss several online locations for selling your books, and finally, suggest ways to ethically dispose of those extra books you just can't seem to get rid of.

The Song of the Lark: A Century in the Heart of Nebraska Libraries Presenter: Erin Willis; Lincoln City Libraries We are celebrating this year the100th Anniversary of the publication of Willa Cather's The Song of the Lark. In 1915, Cather was beginning her ascent to literary fame and critical success, and she sought to control the way her books were discovered, read and interpreted. This program will consider the paradox between Cather's rejection of institutional influence in the readership of her books, and the role of public libraries in securing her place in the American literary canon. The Song of the Lark will serve as a case study in the relationship between a book and its public reception over time. It will also highlight the role of public libraries in establishing, promoting and perpetuating this literary classic.

What is this New Adult Fiction: A new category of literature or stepped up YA novels? Presenter: Ann Matzke; Wilson Public Library In the last few years we've witnessed a boom in Young Adult literature both in the marketing of books and its readership. YA literature includes many first such as: first crush, first kiss, first love, first moral dilemma. The birth of New Adult literature takes it one step further. As the YA readers age out publishers are seeing New Adult as the next, new step. But what does New Adult literature mean for editors, publishing companies and librarians? A few years ago, editors at St. Martin's Press held a contest. The results helped them to coin the term New Adult Fiction. What were they thinking when they came up with the term? And who did they think the readership would be? How did Indie authors impact the market? And where do you place these works of fiction in your collection? In this conference presentation we will: define New Adult Fiction and explore its history, identify books and publishers, and analyze its fast-paced success. At the end of the session, participants will: understand the significance of New Adult Fiction, identify motivated readers, and consider innovative ways to promote and integrate New Adult Fiction into their collections.
