JCB Databases
| STG lead(s): |
Julia Flanders |
STG worked with the John Carter Brown Library to redesign (and in some cases design from scratch) several databases for use in a variety of projects. Our first project involved several administrative databases, which are used to track donations to the library and administrative contacts. We converted the databases into a relational format which expressed the data structures more appropriately, designed new layouts to accommodate a wider range of workflow, and created scripts to assist with data update and regularization. Our second project involved the development of a database to hold and manage catalogue information which was being used to prepare a printed catalogue. The project involved filtering information from downloaded RLIN records, importing this information into a database for editing, and then exporting the information into a page layout program for formatting and printing. The database is also designed to support future electronic publication of these records if desired.
