<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white">In March 2020, processing archivists in Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) at the University of Oregon Libraries began experimenting with the Classifications module
in ArchivesSpace, seeking a way to create interactive, browsable subject guides for new reference staff and patrons. Using existing controlled vocabulary in SCUA’s MARC records, processing archivists employed data exploration tools in OpenRefine (formerly
GoogleRefine) to collate collections into subject areas based on Library of Congress Classifications. Using OpenRefine and additional subject analysis of the collections, processing archivists were able to create comprehensive lists of SCUA’s collections by
subjects represented. These lists could then be uploaded into ArchivesSpace Classifications, giving staff and patrons a tool to browse archival collections as they would books on a shelf in the general stacks of the university library.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white">This webinar will explore the MARC-to-Classifications workflow in OpenRefine, as well as subject analysis methods used to assign both classifications and subclassifications based
on numerical collection data. Classification Web, the primary tool used for subject analysis and classification, will be juxtaposed with other open-access tools in the hope that institutions may replicate aspects of the project regardless of subscription-based
resources. Highlighted resources used for subject analysis will include Library of Congress Classification Web (subscription-based), Library of Congress Authorities (open access), and the Library of Congress Classification Outline (open access).<br>
