`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`A. Qualifications and Professional Experience
`
`3. My complete qualifications and professional experience are described
`
`in my academic curriculum vitae (Appendix A). The following is a brief summary
`
`of my relevant qualifications and professional experience.
`
`4.
`
`I am currently a Professor in the Department of Library and Information
`
`Science at the Catholic University of America. I have experience working in an
`
`academic library, a medical library, and a legislative library and have been a
`
`professor for more than 25 years. I hold a Ph.D. in Library and Information Studies
`
`3
`
`Page 4 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Masters in Library and Information
`
`Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
`
`5.
`
`I am an expert on library cataloging and classification and have
`
`published two editions on this subject, Organizing Audiovisual and Electronic
`
`Resources for Access: A Cataloging Guide (2000 and 2006). I teach a variety of
`
`courses, including Cataloging and Classification, Advanced Cataloging and
`
`Classification, Organization of Internet Resources, Organization of Information,
`
`Digital Content Creation and Management, Internet Searches and Web Design,
`
`Information Literacy Instruction, Advanced Information Retrieval and Analysis
`
`Strategies, and The Information Professions in Society. I am familiar with metadata
`
`schema design and implementation. In my teaching I have covered cataloging and
`
`classification standards and tools, the design and implementation of metadata in
`
`databases, search engines, digital repositories, digital libraries, and digital archives.
`
`I have also covered how information organization affects the discovery and access
`
`to digital resources on the Internet. My research interests cover cataloging and
`
`classification,
`
`information organization, metadata,
`
`information
`
`retrieval,
`
`information architecture, digital collections, scholarly communication, user
`
`interaction with information systems, and others.
`
`6.
`
`I am very familiar with a library cataloging encoding standard known
`
`4
`
`Page 5 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`as the “Machine-Readable Cataloging” standard, also known as “MARC,” which
`
`became the national standard for sharing bibliographic data in the United States by
`
`1971 and the international standard by 1973. MARC is the primary communications
`
`protocol for the transfer and storage of bibliographic metadata in libraries. Experts
`
`in my field reasonably rely upon MARC records when forming their opinions. My
`
`understanding of MARC is based in part on my personal experience as a cataloger
`
`and as a cataloging instructor over the years, extending back to the 1984 timeframe.
`
`7.
`
`A MARC record consists of several fields, each of which contains
`
`specific data about the work. Each field is identified by a standardized, unique, three-
`
`digit code corresponding to the type of data that follows. Appendix B is a true and
`
`correct copy of Parts 7 to 10 of “Understanding MARC Bibliographic: Machine-
`
`Readable Cataloging” (https://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/um07to10.html) from the
`
`Library of Congress that explains commonly used MARC fields. For example, the
`
`personal author of the work is recorded in Field 100, the title is recorded in Field
`
`245, publisher information is recorded in Field 260, the physical volume and
`
`characteristics of a publication are recorded in Field 300, and topical subjects are
`
`recorded in the 650 fields.
`
`8.
`
`The Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) is the largest
`
`bibliographic network of the world, with more than 473 million records and
`
`5
`
`Page 6 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`thousands of member institutions (many of which are libraries of some type) in more
`
`than 100 countries. OCLC was founded in 1967 to promote and support library
`
`cooperation. According to the “Third Article, Amended Articles of Incorporation of
`
`OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc.,” OCLC was created “to establish,
`
`maintain and operate a computerized library network and to promote the evolution
`
`of library use, of libraries themselves, and of librarianship, and to provide processes
`
`and products for the benefit of library users and libraries, including such objectives
`
`as increasing availability of library resources to individual library patrons and
`
`reducing the rate of rise of library per-unit costs, all for the fundamental public
`
`purpose of furthering ease of access to and use of the ever-expanding body of
`
`worldwide scientific, literary and educational knowledge and information” (source:
`
`https://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/membership/articles-of-incorporation.pdf).
`
`9.
`
`OCLC members can contribute original cataloging records in MARC
`
`to the system or derive cataloging records from existing records, an activity referred
`
`to as “copy cataloging.” When an OCLC participating institution acquires a work, it
`
`can create an original MARC record for the work in OCLC’s Connexion system (a
`
`system for catalogers to create and share MARC records), and the system will
`
`automatically generate a code for the date of record creation in the yymmdd format,
`
`and the creating library’s OCLC symbol is recorded in subfield “a” of the 040 field.
`
`6
`
`Page 7 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`Once the MARC record is in Connexion, it becomes available to other OCLC
`
`members for adoption to their local online catalogs (i.e., copy cataloging). This
`
`process of cooperative cataloging has been in place since OCLC began operation in
`
`the 1960s.
`
`10. After a MARC record is created in Connexion, it also becomes
`
`searchable and viewable on WorldCat, which is a free web portal for users to explore
`
`more than 10,000 libraries worldwide. The record in WorldCat, however, is not
`
`presented in MARC fields. Instead, the data elements are labeled to help users
`
`interpret the record. Thus, the information stored in MARC records in Connexion is
`
`available to the interested public through the user-friendly WorldCat web portal.
`
`11. WorldCat (http://www.worldcat.org) is “the world’s largest network of
`
`library content and services” and its features are summarized in “What is WorldCat”
`
`(http://www.worldcat.org/whatis/default.jsp). WorldCat began operation in January
`
`1998 as a free web portal to more than 10,000 library collections worldwide.
`
`Through WorldCat, users can search for information in their local libraries and
`
`libraries around the world. WorldCat allows users to search for books, CDs, videos,
`
`and many new types of digital content, such as audiobooks, in many languages.
`
`Users can also retrieve research materials and article citations with links to their full
`
`text. After an item is retrieved, WorldCat helps users identify a library nearby that
`
`7
`
`Page 8 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`holds the item or all the libraries that hold the item. WorldCat is an efficient way to
`
`explore the content held by more than 10,000 libraries around the world. WorldCat
`
`is publicly accessible, and there is no fee to perform a search on WorldCat.
`
`12. Library online catalogs gained acceptance in the early 1980s and many
`
`libraries migrated their systems to the World Wide Web in the mid-1990s. Library
`
`online catalogs are based on MARC records that represent their collections in order
`
`to help the public understand what materials are publicly accessible in those
`
`libraries. Most libraries with online catalogs have made their catalogs freely
`
`available on the Web. These online catalogs offer user-friendly search interfaces.
`
`Strong user interest in keyword searches and the popularity of Google have led to
`
`the “googlization” of library search systems. As a result, many library catalogs now
`
`provide a single search box for users to conduct keyword searches, with additional
`
`support for searches by author, title, subject terms, and other data elements such as
`
`ISBN (International Standard Book Number). Library catalogs these days also offer
`
`features for users to narrow their search results by language, year, format, and other
`
`elements. Many libraries display MARC records on their online catalogs with labels
`
`for the data elements to help the public interpret MARC records. Many libraries also
`
`offer the option to display MARC records in MARC fields.
`
`13. Libraries create MARC records for works they acquire, including
`
`8
`
`Page 9 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`books, serials, motion pictures, and publications in other formats. Monograph
`
`cataloging is fairly common in libraries, and most libraries make a newly cataloged
`
`monograph available to the public soon after the cataloging work is completed,
`
`usually within a week. Libraries can create original cataloging records or use an
`
`existing record in OCLC to create a copy cataloging record. As soon as the
`
`cataloging record is completed, it is added to the library’s online catalog for users.
`
`If the record is an original record, it is also entered into OCLC WorldCat. If it is a
`
`copy cataloging record, the library’s holding symbol is attached to the existing
`
`original record in OCLC WorldCat to facilitate searching and interlibrary loan. This
`
`practice is designed to facilitate resource discovery and sharing and has been in place
`
`since OCLC began operation in the 1960s.
`
`14. The cataloging of serials and the serial check-in process are discussed
`
`here to show how libraries usually provide access to newly received serial issues.
`
`According to the glossary of the RDA: Resource Description and Access cataloging
`
`standard, a serial is “a mode of issuance of a manifestation issued in successive parts,
`
`usually bearing numbering, that has no predetermined conclusion. A serial includes
`
`a periodical, monographic series, newspaper, etc.” Because the publisher of a serial
`
`makes new issues of the serial available successively, a customary cataloging
`
`practice is to create one bibliographic record for the serial, and the MARC serial
`
`9
`
`Page 10 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`record typically provides information on the beginning date and frequency of the
`
`serial, not the dates of individual issues. In other words, libraries typically do not
`
`create MARC records for individual issues of a serial. Instead, they rely on a serial
`
`check-in system to track the receipt of new issues. A common check-in practice is
`
`to date stamp a new issue when it arrives. This practice has become automated since
`
`the late 1990s, and libraries now vary in how they share the receipt date of a new
`
`serial issue with the public. Some libraries use a date stamp, some affix a label to
`
`indicate the receipt date, some pencil in the receipt date, and some do not provide
`
`the information to the public. I am familiar with all of these processes based on my
`
`years of personal experience, as a cataloger and as a cataloging instructor and
`
`researcher, interacting with many different libraries and their systems, including
`
`during the 1990s and 2000s.
`
`15. The serial check-in process usually takes less than an hour, and one of
`
`the steps involves placing a date stamp on the new issue to document the date the
`
`issue is checked in. After that, the holdings information of the serial is updated in
`
`the library’s catalog so that users know which issues are available for request or
`
`access. After serial check-in is completed, the new issue is placed on the shelf with
`
`the previous issues of the serial. Libraries with a public periodical room typically
`
`place new issues in the periodical room for easy user access. Because information
`
`10
`
`Page 11 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`presented in serials often reflects latest discovery, a general practice of libraries is to
`
`make new issues of serials available for user access soon after they are checked in,
`
`usually within a week. I am familiar with all of these processes based on my years
`
`of personal experience as a cataloger and a cataloging instructor interacting with
`
`many different libraries and their systems, including during the 1990s and 2000s.
`
`16. There are two ways to catalog conference proceedings. One approach
`
`is to catalog each conference proceedings as a book to make the proceedings easily
`
`discoverable. This means that once a volume of conference proceedings is cataloged
`
`as a book, the book is processed quickly to make it available for public access,
`
`usually within a week. Another approach is to catalog conference proceedings as a
`
`serial when the conference takes place fairly regularly and the title of the conference
`
`remain largely the same. In such a case, a serial record is created, and no individual
`
`record is created for each conference proceedings, but the proceedings received are
`
`noted in the holdings record to let the public know which year’s proceedings are
`
`available. The physical copy of the proceedings is checked in through the serial
`
`check-in process, and made available for public access soon after the serial check-in
`
`is completed, usually on the same day or within a week. This was true in the 1990s
`
`and 2000s and I am familiar with all of these processes based on my years of personal
`
`experience interacting with many different libraries and their systems, including
`
`11
`
`Page 12 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`
`during the 1990s and 2000s.
`
`17.
`
`I am personally familiar with many online catalogs, databases, and
`
`search engines. In preparing for this declaration I used the following authoritative
`
`information systems to search for records:
`
` Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com)
`
` Online
`
`catalog
`
`of
`
`the
`
`British
`
`Library
`
`(http://explore.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=BLVU1)
`
` Online catalog of the Library of Congress (https://catalog.loc.gov)
`
` Online catalog of the Linda Hall Library (https://catalog.lindahall.org/)
`
` WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org)
`
`These records are identified and discussed in this declaration. Experts in the field of
`
`library and information science (like myself) reasonably rely on the data described
`
`herein to form their opinions. My opinions in this Declarations are based on my
`
`years of experience working with many libraries and library-based systems, and my
`
`work experience as a cataloging expert in the field of library and information
`
`sciences.

`20. The Library of Congress holds several exhibit items but it is closed due
`
`to the COVID pandemic, so I could not obtain physical copies from the Library of
`
`Congress to include with this declaration. I reserve the right to submit physical
`
`library copies of any available documents when the library reopens and will do so if
`
`asked when I am capable of doing so.
`
`
`II. AUTHENTICATION AND PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF BELKIND
`(APPENDIX 1008)
`
`A. Authentication
`
`21. Appendix 1008 is a true and correct copy of “Pulsed-DC reactive
`
`sputtering of dielectrics: pulsing parameter effects,” (“Belkind”), by Belkind et al. in
`
`the 2000 Technical Conference Proceedings of the Society of Vacuum Coaters, pp.
`
`86-90, that I obtained from the Linda Hall Library. When I began preparing this
`
`declaration I searched WorldCat by the title of Belkind for records, and the search
`
`results informed me that Linda Hall Library held this conference proceedings. I then
`
`requested a copy of Belkind from the Linda Hall Library Document Delivery Service
`
`and received the copy on September 21, 2020. This library copy is presented as
`
`Appendix 1008 in this declaration.
`
`22. Appendix 1008 is a true and correct copy of Belkind that I obtained
`
`from the Linda Hall Library. It includes the front matter (cover, title page, copyright
`
`19
`
`Page 20 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`page, and table of contents) and the Belkind article. Page 1 is the cover that shows
`
`Society of Vacuum Coaters, “43rd Annual Technical Conference Proceedings, April
`
`15-20, 2000, Denver, Colorado USA” and a faint library date stamp. Page 2 is the
`
`title page that shows the same conference information and also shows the conference
`
`proceedings has a “2000” copyright date with the Society of Vacuum Coaters as the
`
`copyright holder. Page 3 is the copyright page that shows the Society of Vacuum
`
`Coaters’ annual technical conference proceedings are available in print and CD-RM,
`
`the ISSN of this series of conference proceedings is “0737-5921,” and the Society is
`
`the publisher. Pages 4 to 9 are the table of contents and page 5 (internal page iv)
`
`shows Belkind is included in the “Emerging Technologies” session and appears from
`
`pages 86 to 90. Page 10 begins the Plenary session and carries a library date stamp
`
`of “LINDA HALL LIBRARY SEP 12 2000.” Pages 11 to 15 are the Belkind article.
`
`Page 11 (internal page 86) shows the title, authors, four key words, and an abstract
`
`of Belkind. The footer shows Belkind has a “2000” copyright date with the Society
`
`of Vacuum Coaters as the copyright holder, and its ISSN is “0737-5921.” It also
`
`shows Belkind is included in the “43rd Annual Technical Conference Proceedings—
`
`Denver, April 15-20, 2000.” Belkind is five pages long, including seven figures and
`
`20 references.

`
`Linda Hall Library Records
`
`23. Appendix 1008-A is a true and correct copy of the bibliographic and
`
`MARC records for Proceedings of the Annual Technical Conference, Society of
`
`Vacuum Coaters that contains Belkind. I personally located, identified and obtained
`
`these records from the online catalog of the Linda Hall Library by searching for the
`
`ISSN “0737-5921” for records. This is the type of records experts in my field would
`
`reasonably rely upon when forming their opinions. I captured images of the
`
`bibliographic and MARC records to produce Appendix 1008-A.
`
`24. Page 1 of Appendix 1008-A identifies the publication as a journal with
`
`the title of “Proceedings of the … Annual Technical Conference” and the Society of
`
`Vacuum Coaters, Technical Conference as the creator. The record shows that this
`
`journal is “Available at Linda Hall Library Closed Stacks – Serials (Society of
`
`Vacuum Coaters. Proceedings [of the annual technical conference])” and other
`
`locations and “25 (1982) – 51 (2008)”, meaning it has the 43rd conference
`
`proceedings (2000) that contains Belkind. Page 2 is the detailed bibliographic record
`
`that shows the title, creators, subjects, identifiers, other titles, related title, publisher,
`
`creation date, frequency, and citation/References notes.
`
`25. Page 3 is the MARC record for Proceedings of the Annual Technical
`
`Conference, Society of Vacuum Coaters that shows the creation date and creator of
`
`21
`
`Page 22 of 304
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`this MARC record. The first six digits of Field 008 show the MARC record was
`
`created on “830411” (i.e., April 11, 1983), and the “c19829999” code following this
`
`creation date indicates that the journal is a continuing resource that began publication
`
`in 1982 and is an ongoing publication. Subfield “a” of Field 040 shows that “DLC”
`
`created this record, and Filed 049 shows “LHLA” as the holding library. According
`
`to
`
`the
`
`Directory
`
`of
`
`OCLC
`
`Members
`
`(https://www.oclc.org/en/contacts/libraries.html), “DLC” is the OCLC library
`
`symbol for the Library of Congress and “LHL” is the symbol for the Linda Hall
`
`Library. “LHL” is not included in Field 040 subfield “d” because the library added
`
`its holdings symbol to the record and did not modify the original MARC record, a
`
`practice
`
`documented
`
`by
`
`the MARC
`
`Bibliographic
`
`Standard
`
`(https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/). As discussed earlier, a customary
`
`library practice is to create a serial record for a serial, without creating records for
`
`individual issues of the serial. When individual issues are received, they go through
`
`the serial check-in process, which usually takes less than an hour. After that, the
`
`newly received issues are placed on the shelf or a periodical reading room for user
`
`access, usually on the same date of serial check-in or within a week after serial
`
`check-in. These procedures are what would have been followed in 2000 and are
`
`consistent with my experience with the Linda Hall library. I know this is a
`
`22
`

`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, PhD
`
`
`
`customary library practice from personal experience as a cataloging instructor and
`
`researcher that provided me with many opportunities to interact with catalogers, and
`
`many different libraries and their systems. The library date stamp of “SEP 12 2000”
`
`on the Plenary session page (page 10) of the Linda Hall Library copy (Appendix
`
`1008) means that the 43rd Proceedings of the Annual Technical Conference (2000)
`
`of the Society of Vacuum Coaters (and Belkind contained therein) was received by
`
`the library
