Title screen


Encoded metadata


The physical carrier or its labels


“If the information in these sources varies in degree of fullness, prefer the source that provides the most complete information.”

AACR2, 9.0B1

If information is not available from the item itself, use:– Printed or online documentation

– Information printed on a container

If information is taken from anything other than one of these prescribed sources, enclose it in square brackets.

Dealing with multiple versions of a resource

• Print and electronic versions of the same resource

• Electronic versions from multiple providers

Separate records vs. single record

• Dealing with print and electronic versions of the same resources

• “Creating separate records for an item is preferable…You may, however, find a single record approach is better for your local environment.”

“Cataloging Electronic Resources: OCLC-MARC Coding Guidelines”

Separate records

• Print item– Do not use 006 and 007 and do not code “Form of

Item”

– Note the availability of the electronic version in field 530

– Optionally, link to the electronic record with field 776

– Optionally, provide the location of remotely accessible version in field 856Cataloging Electronic Resources: OCLC-MARC Coding Guidelines

Separate records

• Electronic item– Include 006 and 007 and code “Form of Item” for

electronic

– Note the availability of the non-electronic version in field 530

– Optionally, link to the non-electronic record with field 776

– Provide the location of remotely accessible version in field 856Cataloging Electronic Resources: OCLC-MARC Coding Guidelines

Cataloging Electronic Resources: OCLC-MARC Coding Guidelines

Provider-Neutral E-book Records

• Guidelines for provider-neutral e-monograph records were implemented in August 2009

• PCC members adhere to these guidelines, and it is recommended that non-PCC libraries do so as well

• Provider-Neutral E-Monograph MARC Record Guide: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/PN-Guide.pdf

http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/PN-Guide.pdf




• What is a provider-neutral record?

• “A provider-neutral e-monograph record is a single bibliographic record that covers all equivalent manifestations of an online monograph.”

Provider-Neutral E-Monograph Task Group Report,

July 2009

http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/PN-Final-Report.pdf







• Why use provider-neutral records?

• “Catalog users often have difficulty understanding the rationale or the subtle differences between multiple records when searching through a cluster of very similar electronic resource records.”

Provider-Neutral E-Monograph Task Group Report,

July 2009http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/PN-Final-Report.pdf






Provider-Neutral E-book RecordsDifferences from other records

• No notes or added entries for specific packages or aggregations


• Multiple URLS may be included for packages that contain complete text


• 533 fields will no longer be used


• Variant provider-specific titles will be used in 246 field

• 246 1 _ $i Available from some providers with title: $a <title>


• Publisher and dates will be those of the original monograph


• Fewer notes

• Don’t use:

• type of computer file note (516)

• additional physical form note (530)

• reproduction note (533)

• system requirements (538)


• “Description based on print format version” can be used when appropriate.

• Do not supply a source of title note when this is the case.

• 588 field is preferred over 500 field for this note

• 776 field is used in conjunction with this note


• 300 field will start with “1 online resource”

• If available, include pagination in parenthesis.

• Include illustrative matter in $b

• Exclude $c

• Examine any $e to make sure it is still applicable

300 _ _ $a 1 online resource (25 p.) : $b ill.


• ISBNs

“If there is an electronic ISBN as well as other ISBNs, record the e-ISBN in the field 020 $a as the first ISBN, record other ISBNs in 020 $z, and copy the print ISBN to field 776 $z. If it is unclear which format the ISBN represents - as often occurs with simultaneously issued versions - then use $z for any ISBN in the e-version record.”

Provider-Neutral E-Monograph MARC Record Guide


• Drawbacks

– Not all vendors are creating these records yet

– Can be challenging to collocate equivalent versions of an e-book

Exercise 5

• Provider-neutral records

Working with E-Monograph Records from Vendors

• Can require checking the quality of the records


• Sometimes vendors provide records that are for print books


• Be aware of record/system numbers and how they will overlay records already in your system


• Keeping catalog up-to-date may be an issue
