What was Cataloging, again?What was Cataloging, again?• cataloging

– The process of creating entries for a catalog.

So, what is bibliographic description?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.

What are all these words?What are all these words?

•Title proper ( (Concise AACR2 Concise AACR2 Rule 1B)Rule 1B)– The primary name of a bibliographic item,

usually found on the chief source of information, including any alternative title but not parallel titles and other title information. In AACR2, the title proper is entered in the title and statement of responsibility area of the bibliographic description (field 245 of the MARC

record). See also: uniform title.

– i.e. the main part of a title e.g. in The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits. Title proper is Hunting of the Snark. See a facsimile of the title page at http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/images/modeng/public/CarSnar/CarSnaTi.jpg

Page 14: Descriptive cataloging:  Overview

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

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

– e.g. Father Goriot = Le Père Goriot / Honoré de Balzac

Parallel TitleTitle Proper

What else?What else?• Other title information (Other title information (Concise AACR2 Concise AACR2 Rule 1E)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).

When to use General Material Designation [GMD]?When to use General Material Designation [GMD]?

• When item is something other than a book or serial When item is something other than a book or serial [text]—see [text]—see Concise AACR2 Concise AACR2 Rule 1C (optional!)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 17: Descriptive cataloging:  Overview

What about the author area?What about the author area?• Statement of responsibility ((Concise AACR2 Concise AACR2 Rule 1F)Rule 1F)

– In AACR2, the portion of the bibliographic description indicating by name the person(s) responsible for creating the intellectual or artistic content of the item (author, editor, compiler, composer, arranger, etc.), the corporate body from which the content emanates, or the person(s) or corporate body responsible for performing the content. In most cases, the statement of responsibility is transcribed from the chief source of information for the item. When more than one kind of responsibility is indicated (multiple statements of responsibility), the names are transcribed in the order in which they appear on the chief source of information.

– 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).

– 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.
