Abstract

A study of the online catalogues of major academic libraries and databases in the Netherlands shows considerable variation in the form of name used for the author W.F. Hermans. The problem lies with a lack of authority control in headings used in the Dutch national union Pica catalogue. Reactions from 2 cataloguers point to the difficulties in maintaining catalogues in the face of reduced funding and to the important role played by the Pica project in improving library services and reducing cataloguing backlogs

Abstract

Presents results of a study, conducted over a 4 month period and involving graduate students at illinois University at Urbana-Champaign who had completed a course on monograph cataloguing, to determine the types of errors that appear on original cataloguing copy by entry level cataloguers. Records were analyzed for errors in description, headings, encoding of MARC format, capitalization, punctuation, and any other errors affecting access. Results should assist educators in planning and implementing cataloguing courses and will inform professionals hiring cataloguers out of library school on how well the graduates are prepared for professional cataloguing

Abstract

Existing subject headings lists and classification schemes are inadequate to deal with the very specific and rapidly developing subjects of theses and dissertations, and as a result libraries find it costly and time consuming to perform original and full cataloguing of these materials. Many libraries have been forced to improvise on descriptive and subject cataloguing to reduce the processing cost. Describes the improvisations of the Library of King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Dharan, Saudi Arabia, in cataloguing local and foreign theses and dissertations

Abstract

Examines in detail the author cataloguing practices adopted by the Italian National Library Service, as set out in its 1995 Cataloguing Guide (Guida SBN), and discusses how far these practices accord with the standard 1979 RICA author cataloguing rules. Since the author headings prescribed by RICA include personal names, corporate names and titles, this survey looks at all such SBN catalogue entries having an access point function. Presents many examples of standard and variant forms of heading, and reviews control procedures

Abstract

The principle of uniform heading underlies the rules for headings in descriptive cataloging in the American tradition. The rationale and the evolution of the principle are examined and its implications discussed in terms of the history of cataloging codes. The ideal embodied in the principle of uniform heading has been undergoing gradual modification in recent codes and considerably compromised in cataloging practice today.

Abstract

The development and use of the MARC Archival and Manuscript Control (AMC) format is described. The format's unique characteristics stem largely from the needs of the archivl community for both a uniform means of control of materials at the collection level and a powerful tool for exchanging information about archival holdings. Uniques aspects of AMC cataloguing are described, including differing approaches to access points, form of entry, title, physical description, notes, subject headings, and call numbers.

Abstract

This paper addresses issues in descriptive cataloging, subject analysis, and classification of Icelandic materials. It includes an extensive discussion of Icelandic personal names, particularly their formulation and its implications for establishing entries according to AACRZ. Subsequent sections of the paper deal with uniform titles in Old Norse, subject headings, and classification with descrip: tions of current practice and with reflections on needed enhance-, ments. It concludes with a consideration of the availability and usefulness of various cataloging aids and includes a bibliography of helpful reference sources.

Abstract

In June 1995 the ABEI (Italian Catholic Librarians Association) established a working group in order to create an authority list of Catholic authors, (persons and corporate bodies) and of liturgical and religious anonymous works, titled ACOLIT, Autori Cattolici e Opere Liturgiche in Italiano (Catholic Authors and Liturgical Works in Italian). ACOLIT contains: (1) personal authors (particularly of the apostolic period and the Middle Ages); (2) popes and antipopes; (3) religious congregations, orders and societies; (4) Catholic Church and Roman Curia; (5) Catholic associations; (6) the Bible; (7) liturgical works; (8) religious anonymous works. Headings are established according to the RICA (Regole Italiane di Catalogazione per Autori), but also to the Norme per il catalogo degli stampati by the Vatican Library, the AACR2R, the RAK, the Reglas de catalogaci = F3n. Ed. refundita y rev., and the guidelines and decisions of IFLA. The work group has elaborated original considerations, particularly for the Bible. The group argues the choice and forth of the names of popes, Catholic Church and Roman Curia of the RICA and suggests that classical and Medieval writers should be formulated in Italian not in Latin, and that the indirect form, surname-name, should be used for saints who have a surname. ACOLIT has accepted the GARE punctuation (Guidelines for authority and reference entries/ recommended by the Working Group on an International Authority System; approved by the Standing Committees of the IFLA Section on Cataloguing and the IFLA Section on Information Technology). The print edition is planned for June 1997. ACOLIT will present headings in three sections: (1) Personal writers; (2) Corporate bodies; (1) Bible Liturgical and religious anonymous works, ABEI will also publish an electronic edition (CD ROM), periodically revised. The research will extend to Christian writers and -in the future- to writers of all religions.

Abstract

An important part of cataloging education in library schools is descriptive cataloging, which is concerned with preparing the descriptions, entries and name headings for library materials. Although debate occurs over the primacy of theory and principles, or practices, and whether descriptive cataloging or subject analysis should receive the most emphasis, there is general agreement that all students need instruction in the processes of cataloging. The descriptive cataloging segment of the curriculum of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Washington, is described to illustrate one approach to cataloging education.

Abstract

After a long delay the final edition of RAK has been published. The old university libraries have suffered for years from using the Prussian Instructions which are obsolete and time-consuming; they have hesitated to give their old catalogues up but should do so as soon as possible. A new cataloguing policy is now needed, moving away from traditional practices that still govern even RAK towards simplified rules suitable for future developments such as use in centralised regional catalogues and in automated data processing. Simplified rules are proposed and discussed in relation to American and British minimal cataloguing, with suggestions for changes in basic terminology, general rules, main and subordinate entries, personal name and corporate body entries and subject headings

Abstract

The recent success of recordings in Slavic liturgical music pose problems for cataloguers because the majority of them are not familiar with the services and terminology, the titles and problematical and the composers are difficult to trace. Describes the Divine Liturgy and the Vespers in parallel with the Mass and the Roman Catholic service. Proposes uniform titles for current musical fields and discusses terminology, language and biographic sources for composers. Makes some suggestions for the reconcilation of the realities of Slavic liturgical music and the uniform titles, classification and subject headings recommended by the Library of Congress

Abstract

During the 1990s online systems have become the norm in all but the smallest libraries. However, many library systems had no authority control model and libraries are now finding themselves facing automated authority control for the first time. Drawing on the experiences of the libraries at the University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Northern Colorado and Texas A&M University, discusses the pre-conversion questions of creating an online authority file and choosing which authority records to load, and the post-conversion questions of handling authority work for ongoing cataloguing, dealing with error reports, and keeping up to date with headings changes

Abstract

WWW sites, consisting mainly of links to other Internet resources, have begun to proliferate and these sites are valuable to library users and researchers because they bring together in a single Web site links to a comprehensive array of information resources. Because libraries may elect to include bibliographic records for these sites in their online catalogues, cataloguers should be aware of some of the main aspects of cataloguing this new type of resource. Concludes that cataloguers should be aware of the main types and different characteristics of these Web sites, how to describe them in bibliographic records and how to assign appropriate subject headings for them

Abstract

In some existing cataloging records, there is evidence of considerable confusion in cataloging graphic representations of geologic measurements. The cataloging of geologic sections differs from the cataloging of maps in six areas: leader fields in a USMARC-formatted record; 0xx fields in a USMARC-formatte record; Scale; Physical description; Notes; and Subject headings. This paper will explain the use and importance of geologic sections, clarify why they should be cataloged in the USMARC Map Format, explain why they are called ''sections,'' define what is meant by ''geologic section,'' prescribe the rules for cataloging, and demonstrate the proper procedure for cataloging a geologic section.

Abstract

Many Chinese persons active in different languages have redundant or inappropriate name headings in databases. This paper invents a ''Sheep-Fox Method'' visually describing various forms of Chinese persons' names in different languages and in transliteration, conceptually and factually clarifying complicated relations between the names, name forms, and gives typical examples to indicate appropriate choices in bibliography practice. It also suggests improvements for the practice. The paper discusses matters in Chinese persons' names with the understanding that its method could be universally applied to persons' names in other languages of scripts in general as well.

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the cataloging process for popular music sound recordings, from the initial description of the item to the final assignment of subject headings and name and/or title access points. While isolated aspects of the process have been covered in general elsewhere, little has been written describing the entire process especially as applied to popular music recording cataloging specifically. The paper also briefly discusses useful reference sources for popular music cataloging and problems of indexing and keyword searching as they relate to popular music recordings.

Abstract

"Videorecording Cataloging: Problems and Pointers" assumes basic knowledge of MARC 21 and the AACR2 cataloging rules for videorecordings. Not intended to be a comprehensive review of videorecording cataloging, it instead concentrates on areas that have proven to be problems for catalogers. Included among the topics discussed are sources of information, when to input a new record, special issues regarding music videos, DVDs and other videodiscs, colorized versions, letterboxed versions, closed captioning and audio enhancement, treatment of certain types of titles, statements of responsibility and credits, field 007, dates, numbers associated with videos, genre headings, locally made videorecordings, "In" analytics, statements of responsibility, and collection level cataloging.
