Standardization of description (ISBD: International Standard Bibliographic Description)
--Assigns order to the elements
--Specifies punctuation for each element
--Defines elements to include
Reconciles British and American rules

[next]

Title proper = Parallel title : other title information / first
statement of responsibility ; each subsequent statement of
responsibility. -- Edition statement / first statement of responsibility
relating to the edition. – First place of publication, etc. : first
publisher, date of publication.
Extent of item : other physical details ; dimensions.– (Title
proper of series ; numbering of series)
Notes.
Standard number and terms of availability

[next]

Broader-based (other countries brought in)
Expands for electronic resources and new types of non-print media (AV including DVDs, etc.
Serials expands to accommodate continuing resources (web site changes, updated looseleafs, etc.)

[next]

Is designed for the online environment
Covers new emerging resources (exp. digital & database technologies)
Provides a more flexible framework for description (MARC will be only one of the standards of description used)
Uses FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) model to bring together Work-sets (FRBR will be defined and discussed ater in this workshop)
Provide a means to map hierarchical relationships between records
Users will see clusters rather than long lists of titles

[next]

Where can I find a brief and concise explanation about MARC records?

Where can I find out what a MARC code means?

"Library of Congress MARC 21 and MARC 21 Formats"
"OCLC's Bibliographic Formats and Standards"

The above sites all have the option of querying individual MARC fields

[next]

MARC = Machine Readable Cataloging - A set of standards used to identify, store and communicate cataloging information.

Elements of the MARC Format

RECORD: The complete bibliographic information for one item.

FIELD: A specific element of cataloging information. For example: The title field.

TAG: A three-digit code assigned to each type of field.
For example: 245 10 Gone with the wind (a title field)

INDICATOR: One digit codes which expand on information in tags. Each tag has 2 indicators.
These may or may not be defined.
EXAMPLE: 245 10 Gone with the wind
The 245 indicates the title field. The first indicator or 1 indicates that the
title is traced.
The second indicator of 0 (zero) is a filing indicator.

SUBFIELD: Used to break fields into smaller elements. Each subfield is preceded by a one character subfield code.
EXAMPLE: 245 10 Gone with the wind : ≠b a definitive manual …
≠ delimiter sign
b subtitle

NOTE: Indicators and subfield codes have meaning only in relation to a particular tag or field and that particular element, i.e. a 2nd indicator of 0 in the 245 field may not have the same meaning as a 2nd indicator of 0 in the 740 field.

Control Characters:
> Start-of-Message (SOM) symbol marks the start of data or a field
≠ Delimiter sign marks the start of a subfield
¶End-of-Message (EOM) symbol marks the end of data or a field

USE THIS LIST:

TO DETERMINE THAT CATALOGING RECORDS MATCH WHAT YOU OWN
TO EDIT THE CATALOGING

MODIFY THIS CHECKLIST FOR YOUR OWN LIBRARY

010 check to see if the LCCN (Lib. of Congress control number) matches the LCCN in the item

020 check to see if the ISBN number matches the ISBN in the item

020 add price to the ISBN field by adding a subfield c (example: $c $10.50)

Fixed field "Dates" (or 008 field if your library system uses this field) and 260 field - check to see if the year matches in these two fields

040 check subfield a ($a) and c ($c) to see which library originally cataloged and described the item. Prefer DLC (Lib. of Congress) records followed by PCC (Program for Cooperative Cataloging) records, followed by records with the largest number of holdings

092 add Dewey call number (however, use 090 if your library uses Library of Congress classification)

245 check title wording to see if it matches

246 check to see if entries for portions of titles, parallel titles (work is in several different languages), spelled-out titles (exp. 1984 and Nineteen eighty-four), spine titles, etc. are needed

250 check to see if the edition matches the edition in the item

260 check to see if the place of publication, publisher and date match the item information

300 check to see if pagination, illustrations and dimensions match the item information

350 delete this price field in serials because prices change with various issues

400s/800s follow suit for Library of Congress traced and not traced series; make exceptions for local policy on certain items

504 check bibliography pages to verify page numbers and check for an index; also check corresponding fixed field indicators for "b" (bibliography) and "1" (index)

600's if your library is a public library delete National Library of Medicine, United Kingdom and foreign language subject headings; make exceptions for local policy

Catalogs or Orders Cataloging from a Vendor:

MARC is the single most important factor in the growth of library automation in the U.S. and other countries. MARC forms the basis for storing bibliographic information and sharing that information. In other words, instead of many catalogers cataloging the same item, standardized cataloging is done once and all libraries can have the same cataloging information. Also, any card or MARC cataloging that your library orders from a vendor is generated from MARC cataloging. Each MARC record in a library's automated catalog needs to be checked individually to make sure the information accurately describes the item. Many records obtained from vendors are CIP (Cataloging in Publication) records and therefore require cataloging attention. Libraries using PUBCAT records to build their database also need to be careful. PUBCAT MARC records are downloaded into PUBCAT without editing because DOL staff doesn't see the actual items each library owns.

[next]

Does Reference Work:

Learning MARC helps librarians understand how to use an online catalog. "Consulting a reference librarian who does not understand the catalog is like consulting a doctor who does not understand the nature and function of drugs, having never studied pharmacology in medical school." (Chan, Lois Mai, "Catalogs and Catalogers: Evolution through Revolution," edited by Tillie Krieger, Journal of Academic Librarianship, 2, no. 4 (Sept. 1976): 176-177)

[next]

Provides Interlibrary Loan Service:

MARC provides valuable information for interlibrary loan librarians. Accurate interpretation of MARC records can keep down ILL costs. A few examples are given below:

Holdings code fields (049, 949 or 852 in VALS) provide information on which libraries own particular materials.
263 field gives the projected publication date. Often libraries don't lend their best sellers for several months. This date would give your library an idea of when to request an item. Otherwise, making a request too soon costs time and money for everyone.
250 field is the edition statement. Sending or requesting items without checking this field may be a disservice to patrons and can be costly for patrons and libraries wanting particular editions.

[next]

Circulates Materials:

Most automated library systems in use today are integrated, enabling circulation systems to link MARC records to a patron database by use of barcodes.

[next]

Does Acquisitions:

Libraries can keep down acquisitions costs with use of standardized and accurate MARC cataloging records.

[next]

Makes Important Purchasing Decisions:

Buying an automated system can be a challenging and expensive venture for any library. Instead of relying on a vendor saying, "We know what you want," knowledge of MARC can help a library:

Write an RFP (request for proposal) for an automated system

Complete complicated forms from vendors requesting retrospective conversion specifications

Evaluate vendor responses to questions

Tell the vendor which features you want the cataloging and other functions to perform including:

Choose a system with records that not only meet today's software and system needs, but will also meet future needs and be transferable to other software and systems

Evaluate a system once purchased and running

[next]

Is a Member of VALS:

Members of the Vermont Automated Libraries System (VALS) have responsibilities to the network and share several common goals:

To adhere to the national cataloging standard - MARC
To obtain standardized MARC cataloging whenever possible
To prepare bibliographic records that reflect standardized cataloging practices
To prepare bibliographic records that meet quality standards
To provide information that will expedite ILL transactions and be easily accessible by patrons

[next]

To ensure that records will search and display properly in catalogs
To meet national standards set for libraries
To meet VALS standards set for Vermont libraries (established in the mid 1980s by librarians from different types of Vermont libraries)
To meet guidelines set by Vermont groups such as VOKAL for libraries using Koha open source systems
To take advantage of the capabilities of next generation catalogs (for example: faceted searches won't work unless MARC coding is correct; crawler software looks for certain codes)

"Centralized Card/MARC Service, Vermont Dept. of Libraries" - MARC records are available for all types of formats. Cataloging is obtained from the Library of Congress databases and OCLC. To quality, libraries must meet minimum standards for Vermont Public Libraries.

"OCLC" - OCLC Online Computer Library Center maintains the world's largest database of bibliographic records. Member libraries search the database and transfer MARC records into their local systems. Full membership in OCLC is expensive for small libraries but OCLC cataloging is available to Vermont public libraries through either DOL's Card/MARC Service or OCLC's CatExpress Service. CatExpress is offered as part of the Card/MARC Service. CatExpress is a user-friendly copy cataloging service available on the Internet. The service is designed for libraries needing cataloging for 500-2,000 titles per year. With the CatExpress Service a library can search OCLC's database of over 100 million records (OCLC plans to load 250 million records this year from national libraries and other large institutions), do copy cataloging, add local data such as call numbers, prices and notes. The following day the library can download the records from OCLC's Product Services web site and load them into the library's automated system. When a library uses an OCLC record for cataloging, its holdings symbol is attached to the record. This holdings information supports OCLC's interlibrary loan subsystem.

"Baker & Taylor Co." - Card sets or MARC records are available only with processed books and other purchased materials. Public and other libraries in Vermont may use the state contract to order from this vendor.

"Brodart, Inc." - Card sets or MARC records are available with processed books and other materials or separately. Public and other libraries in Vermont may use the state contract to order from this vendor.

"ITS.MARC (TLC - The Library Corporation)" is a tool used to obtain cataloging via an Internet interface. Access is provided to over 15 million MARC records.

"Library of Congress" - Since 1901, the Library of Congress has supplied sets of unit cards at a modest price. With the advent of commercial sources of cards complete with call numbers and headings, relatively few libraries continued to order from LC and several years ago their card service was discontinued. However, LC still offers several options for obtaining MARC records through its Cataloging Distribution Service.

The development of the MARC format at the Library of Congress in the 1960's made it possible to transmit and store bibliographic records with computers. Libraries may obtain MARC records for their own holdings from a number of sources, and use them to create databases for local systems.
Most libraries that automate select one of the turnkey systems now offered by a number of vendors. The library prepares the site with electrical connections. The vendor supplies both the hardware and software connections, etc., and converts the shelflist to machine-readable records to create the database. Libraries that are automating may also use the PUBcat records to build their own automated databases.
For an excellent discussion of systems and costs, criteria for making a decision, and a list of recommended readings, consult:

MARC uses "text strings" making it more difficult to manipulate than other data such as that used in Google Maps and record formats used by most other data communities. Definition: The Semantic Web is vision conceived by Tim Berners-Lee in 2001in which a Semantic Web would consist of date structured in such a way that computers can manipulate the mada in more complex ways. Computers would be able to understand the data better. The Semantic Web would use a linked data structure to define things and trelationships between things. Semantic Web is still being developed.

The Semantic Web ...

Can help overcome some of the problems with the MARC format
Gives cataloging more visibility on the web
Moves toward machine understandable data as opposed to machine readable data
Progresses past search engine capabilities of Boolean searching, ranking, etc.
Goes deeper into databases, linking data

[next]

Links are established from various elements of the cataloging record

XML description schema (unlike MARC) is supported by a wider audience than the cataloging community

Redesign of the catalog is in order

Covers new emerging resources (exp. digital & database technologies)
Provides a more flexible framework for description (MARC will be only one of the standards of description used)
Uses FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) model to bring together Work-sets
Provide a means to map hierarchical relationships between records
Users will see clusters rather than long lists of titles

[next]

Considered an outdated cataloging code
Anglo-American bias
Designed as a print standard; Additional rules were added to accommmodate description of other media but they were added as an afterthought
Categorization of materials in AACR2R is ambivalent because some materials are based on content while others are based on carrier, the physical medium in which data are stored; (Example of a problem: A decision would need to be made on which AARC2R chapter's rules would best describe a resource such as an electronically issued map. Should the cataloger use the AACR2R chapter on cartographic materials or the chapter on electronic resources?)
---Content categories (cartographic materials, graphic materials, 3-dimensional artifacts)
---Carrier categories (sound recordings, motion pictures, video recordings, computer files, and microforms)
