Overview of cataloging

Descriptive cataloging

(use of AACR2R)

LIB 630 Classification and Cataloging

Spring 2011

Page 2: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Tell me why we’re doing this, again?

• ―. . . to describe and identify all types of

material which are likely to appear in

library collections, . . .‖– ISBD(G): General International Standard

Bibliographic Description

Page 3: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

What was Cataloging, again?

• cataloging

– The process of creating entries for a

catalog.

– In libraries, this usually includes

bibliographic description, subject analysis,

assignment of classification notation, and

activities involved in physically preparing

the item for the shelf, tasks usually

performed under the supervision of a

librarian trained as a cataloger. British

spelling is cataloguing.

• Online Dictionary of Library and Information

Science, ODLIS

Page 4: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Elements of cataloging

• From ODLIS definition:

1. bibliographic description

2. subject analysis (deciding what the item is

basically about, and assigning subject

headings)

3. assignment of classification notation

(which is essentially what classification is)

4. activities involved in physically preparing

the item for the shelf

Page 5: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Our focus:

• Bibliographic description:

– A set of bibliographic data recording and

identifying a publication, excluding

access points, i.e., the description that

begins with the title proper and ends

with the last note in the note area.

• Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Books, 2nd

Edition

Page 6: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

So, what is bibliographic description?

• Bibliographic description– In library cataloging, the detailed description of

a copy of a specific edition of a work intended to

identify and distinguish it from other works by

the same author, of the same title, or on the

same subject. In AACR2, the bibliographic

record representing an item in the catalog

includes the following standard areas of

description: title and statement of responsibility

(author, editor, composer, etc.), edition,

material specific details, details of publication

and distribution, physical description, series,

notes, and standard number and terms of

availability (ISBN, ISSN, price). See also: chief

source of information and level of description.

Page 7: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Elements of bibliographic description

Title proper = Parallel title : Other title information [GMD] / Statement of responsibility ; Other statements of responsibility. – Edition area. –Special area for serials, maps, music. – Publication area. –Physical description. – (Series information). – Notes area. –Standard number.

• Note the special punctuation (in red).

• This is the traditional layout for a printed catalog card

Page 8: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Sample catalog cardThis oblique line indicates that

what follows is the statement of

responsibility (i.e. author

statement). Note space before

and after!

Page 13: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Contents of Area 1

• Title proper

• GMD

• Parallel title

• Other title information

• Statement(s) of responsibility

Page 14: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

What are all these words?

•Title proper(Concise AACR2 Rule 1B)

–AACR2 Glossary

• Title proper is the chief name of an item , including any alternative titlebut excluding parallel titles and other title information.– From website of the International

Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives

– i.e. The title proper is the main part of a title, e.g. in The Hunting of the Snark : An Agony in Eight Fits.The title proper is Hunting of the Snark.

See a facsimile of the title page athttp://etext.lib.virginia.edu/images/modeng/public/CarSnar/CarSnaTi.jpg

Notice:

There is a space before AND after the semicolon to show where the title proper

ends!

Page 15: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Next concept?• parallel title (Concise AACR2 Rule 1D)

– The title proper of an edition in a languageor script other than that of the original title. In AACR2, parallel titles are entered in the title and statement of responsibilityarea of the bibliographic record (MARCfield 245) in the order found in the chief source of information, separated by an equal sign preceded and followed by a space.

– The Library of Congress records all parallel titles for items issued in the United States.

– e.g. Father Goriot = Le Père Goriot / Honoréde Balzac

Parallel TitleTitle Proper Statement of responsibility

Page 16: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

What else?

• Other title information (Concise AACR2 Rule 1E)

–Essentially, the subtitle

–Includes also alternative title:

• The second part of a title proper

consisting of two parts, each a title in

itself, connected by the word ―or‖ or its

equivalent in another language

(example: The Female Quixote, or,

The Adventures of Arabella), not to be

confused with alternate title.*

Compare with subtitle. *This information goes in the Notes area (see later).

Page 17: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

When to use General Material Designation [GMD]?

• When item is something other than a book or serial

[text]—see Concise AACR2 Rule 1C (optional!)

– Commonest:

• electronic resource (used to be computer

file)

• graphic (previously film strip or slide

or transparency)

• microform

• motion picture

• sound recording

• videorecording

• cartographic material (i.e. map of some kind)

If the item to be cataloged is text, then the GMD is rarely used

Page 18: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

What about the author area?

• Statement of responsibility(Concise AACR2 Rule 1F)

– The ―statement of responsibility‖ is a string of

characters that follows the title in the library catalog

record, usually preceded by a slash (―/‖). The content of

the statement of responsibility is taken directly from the

title page of the resource, and can read something like:

―by John Smith with illustrations by Maggie Jones.‖ Its

role is to show the user how the resource described itself

on the title page.

• Library terminology informally explained

• Note: the title page is considered the ―chief source of

information‖

Page 19: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Chief source of information?

– The source of bibliographic data

prescribed by AACR2 as having

precedence over all others in the

preparation of the bibliographic

description of an item, usually the title

page or a substitute, for example, the title

frame at the beginning of a filmstrip or

motion picture, or the title screen of a

Web page.

– [According to Concise AACR2’s Rule 0A,

the chief source of information for books

is the Title Page]

Page 20: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

What if there are multiple statements of responsibility?

• Example:

– The hunting of the

Snark : an agony, in

eight fits / by Lewis

Carroll ; with nine

illustrations by

Henry Holiday.

– Notice the capitalization

may not be exactly as in

the original (or what you

might use for a

bibliography, either,

unless it’s APA!)

– See Title page online

• AACR2 Rule 1F1 and 2 say to record them in the order and form in which they appear

NOTE:

semicolon

with space

before and

after to show

where each

responsibility

statement

ends and

begins

Page 21: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

How would we do that in our simpler organization?

– Notice that

―A novel by . . .‖

is part of the statement of

– Note also: but you leave

out the ―Author of . . .‖

part!

Space before and after!

Page 24: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

AACR2 Rule 1F3Give the statements of responsibility after the title

information even if they appear before the title in

the chief source of information

• Chief source of

information:

Title page

• See AACR2

Rule 0A

• Area 1 entry:

– Midnight pleasures / Eloisa James

Page 25: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

What do we do about pseudonyms and other

problems with authors’ names?

• authority control

– The procedures by which consistency of form is maintained in the headings (names, uniform titles, series titles, and subjects) used in a library catalog or fileof bibliographic records through the application of an authoritative list (called an authority file) to new items as they are added to the collection. Authority control is available from commercial service providers. • Example:

– Shaw, Bernard, with references from Shaw, G.B. and Shaw, George Bernard.

Page 26: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

But we still use the exact form of the name as it

appears on the title page—the authority control

comes in the notes and the subject headings*

*Older catalogs did use (pseud.)• Title and statement of

responsibility:– The prince and the pauper : a

tale for young people of all ages / by Mark Twain.

• A note (down in the Notesarea) might say: Mark Twain is the pseudonym of Samuel Longhorne Clemens. (Although this is so well known, it may not mention his real name at all!)

• See the title page and other front matter online!

Page 27: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Less well-known pseudonyms might include the real

name

• All grass isn’t green / [by] A.A. Fair (Erle Stanley Gardner)

– Adapted from Chicago Public Library’s online catalog.

• If the title page (remember, the chief source of information for a book, Rule 0A, is the title page NOT the cover) said the same as the cover shown, it would have been written as follows:

– All grass isn’t green / ErleStanley Gardner writing as A. A. Fair.

Page 28: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Or they may not mention it at all!

•Example:

All Things Considered, February 13,

2005 · By day, Mary Bly is a

respectable English professor at

New York's Fordham University.

• What is a Series?

– According to the glossary of AACR2 a series is: ―A

group of separate items related to one another by the

fact that each item bears, in addition to its own title

proper, a collective title applying to the

group as a whole.‖

– Series are titles used to group together

items with similar characteristics. They

might have in common a subject (history

of monasteries in France), a format

(reprints), a genre (poetry), or merely

common publishing characteristics

(24 inch guidebooks with yellow covers).

Area 7: Note area

• Why notes?

– Several notes [may be] included in [a] cataloging record, not necessarily to further describe the item physically, but to indicate further details that might be helpful in identifying the item, or information of interest to someone looking for this book.

– There are two categories of notes, formal and informal. Formal notes are those always done in a particular style, often with punctuation that divides titles or performers or other pieces of information.Informal notes are any notes that the cataloger felt might be useful to include, either for the library staff looking at the record, or for the patron accessing the item.

• Adapted from Brief Review of Cataloging

Page 54: Descriptive cataloging 2007 version

Commonest uses for notes

• To indicate that the item includes

bibliography, index etc. (Rule 7B14)

• To provide a summary of the content of

a book (especially for children’s books)

(Rule 7B13)

• To provide information about the grade

level, reading level, etc. (Rule 7b11)

Alternate title in notes

• alternate title (Rule 7B5)

– A title found in or on a bibliographic item, that varies

from the one given in or on the chief source of

information, for example, a title appearing on the label

or container of a videocassette that differs from the one

given in the videorecording itself.

In library cataloging, any alternate titles are

entered in the note area of the

bibliographic record.
