1. LINGUISTIC DATA CONSORTIUM
Linguistic Data Consortium corpora consist of CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, hard-drives and online titles. The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) notifies the AUL for Collections when new corpora are released, and she requests they be sent and signs the licenses when necessary.
Cataloging receives the discs from Acquisitions Receiving Coordinator along with accompanying invoices. A corpus or transcript available online may be included on the invoice.
The corpora and transcripts are cataloged in OCLC and exported to our system.
Starting June 2016, LDC will not send Fondren any new materials unless requested. If the materials arrive without requests, Cataloging can just trash them. If it is a requested material by patrons, Cataloging will process following the guidelines below.
