    Are Canadian Libraries Ready to Transition from MARC to BIBFRAME?
    (Canadian Association of Information Science (CAIS), 2020-09-21) Fortier, Alexandre; Pretty, Heather; Scott, Daniel B.; Spéciel, Olivier
    This project seeks to assess the Canadian library community’s understanding of and readiness for the transition from the MARC format to the BIBFRAME model. Data were collected using a survey distributed in English and French to a stratified random sample of 1,200 Canadian libraries. Results indicate that knowledge of BIBFRAME is low among respondents and that most of the libraries surveyed do not know enough about BIBFRAME to consider planning a transition at this point.

    Assessing the Readiness for and Knowledge of BIBFRAME in Canadian Libraries
    (Taylor & Francis Group, 2022-09-10) Fortier, Alexandre; Pretty, Heather J.; Scott, Daniel
    This study assesses the Canadian library community’s understanding of and readiness for the transition from the MARC format to the BIBFRAME model. Results indicate that knowledge of BIBFRAME is low among respondents and that most of the libraries surveyed do not know enough about BIBFRAME to consider planning a transition. The success of the transition will depend on the leadership of larger libraries as well as better training in formal programs and continuing education initiatives.
