MARC tag 550 and 710

After doing assessment today, I just like to share some points on use of MARC tage 550 and 710 for a serial entry:

I search "British Economic Society) and found the:

The economic journal : the quarterly journal of the Royal Economic Society.

In the MARC record:

 http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v4=2&ti=1,2&SEQ=20120418230739&Search%5FArg=british%20economic%20society&Search%5FCode=GKEY%5E%2A&CNT=100&type=quick&PID=aquOy2cJ9Q5l_MbjqYn2fcm2_W&SID=1

550	__ |a Vols. for 1891-1902 issued by: British Economic Association; 1903- by: Royal Economic Society.
555	__ |a Vols. 1 (1891)-10 (1900). 1 v.; v. 11 (1901)-20 (1910). 1 v.; v. 21 (1911)-30 (1920). 1 v.; v. 31 (1921)-40 (1930). 1 v.; v. 91 (1981)-100 (1990). 1 v.

and two added entries is listed:

710	2_ |a British Economic Association.
710	2_ |a Royal Economic Society (Great Britain)

As some candidates who are doing serials cataloguing will experience change of publishers and it is good to note the use of MARC tag 550 to add the notes and create MARC tag 710 for added entry.

Some other good reference pointers from the folloing ppt maybe of interest to some readers:

RDA ( Resource Description and Access)

As one of the trainers for next run of Module 3: Support Bibliographic Control Work for Higher Certificate in Library and Information Service (HCLIS), I just search for some update on RDA and found the following paper from OCLC:

=====
Incorporating RDA practices into WorldCat: A discussion paper 
http://www.oclc.org/us/en/rda/discussion.htm

Assumptions

This discussion paper assumes that the library community moves forward with the implementation of RDA: Resource Description and Access, an implementation that is currently envisioned to take place no earlier than January 1, 2013. It proposes a number of policies that may be put in place and actions that may be undertaken as part of incorporating RDA practices more fully into WorldCat. It also attempts to balance the dual roles of WorldCat as a catalog and as a repository of bibliographic data.
Initially, these proposed policies and actions are primarily focused on English-language-of-cataloging records that are created and maintained online by OCLC member libraries. As translations of RDA become available and as national libraries beyond the Anglo-American community make their policy decisions public, OCLC will expand these policy statements and action plans.
The paper is being made available for OCLC member libraries to comment on these potential policies and actions. Please send comments to rdapolicy@oclc.org by April 15, 2012.
====
Source of information:
http://www.oclc.org/us/en/rda/discussion.htm

Here are some points I extracted after reading the paper:

*Following the formal adoption of RDA: Resource Description and Access by the three national libraries in the United States, many libraries will begin creating only RDA records.

*Implementation is envisioned to take place no earlier than January 1, 2013.

*It would be more efficient if staff focused instead on learning a single standard, RDA.

*Use of spelled out forms in RDA removes ambiguities or confusion created by the use of abbreviations. Similarly, the use of English language terms in RDA in place of Latin terms used in older rules removes ambiguities. For example, [Place of publication not identified] is clearer to end users than [S.l.] or [N.p.].

*Proposed Future Cataloging Policy:

• Catalogers are not required to update or upgrade existing records to RDA.
• Catalogers may re-catalog items according to RDA if it is considered useful... The revised record would then be changed to Desc (Leader/18) coded as c or i as appropriate with 040 $e rda added.
• Catalogers may update individual fields in pre-RDA records to reflect RDA practices if it is considered useful...
• Catalogers should use access points as established in the authority file, whether those forms are coded as RDA or AACR2.

*Changing Pre-RDA Records

• Content, Media, and Carrier Types: Fields 336, 337, and 338 allow for the recording of content, media, and carrier types using controlled terminology...
• General Material Designations: Field 245 $h would no longer be input under RDA...

*Access Points: additional access points called for under RDA instructions may be added to older records. Additional access points do not have to be represented in any existing notes or statements of responsibility.

*Statements of Responsibility: Catalogers may also revise statements of responsibility in older records to record additional names optionally called for under RDA instructions.

*Abbreviations in the Language of the Cataloging Agency:

• Abbreviations of non-transcribed elements may be converted to spelled-out forms.
• In field 300 in English language based cataloging, for example, end users would be better served by seeing illustrations versus ill. or illus., portraits versus ports., volumes versus v., etc.

*Latin Abbreviations may be converted to their spelled-out non-Latin language forms. For example in English language based cataloging, end users would be better served by seeing [and others] versus … [et al.], [publisher not identified] versus [s.n.], approximately versus ca., etc.

*Brackets: Practice regarding the input of brackets changes under RDA so that individual elements are separately bracketed rather than combined with adjacent bracketed elements, e.g., 260 [S.l. : $b s.n., $c 1960?] would be formulated as 260 [Place of publication not identified] : $b [publisher not identified], $c [1960?] instead. RDA practice for input of brackets may be used when working with non-RDA records.

*Parallel Records: RDA-based changes may be made to records cataloged in English as well as in other languages of cataloging as coded in 040 $b, as long as the language of cataloging is retained and respected.

*Future OCLC Changes

• OCLC envisions potentially making some widespread changes to existing records in WorldCat including a number of those outlined above.
• Such efforts would be oriented toward reducing the need for catalogers to make similar changes as well as making the records more useful in the RDA environment.
• This activity would supplement other data quality efforts such as authority control, duplicate detection, etc.

*Retaining Changes to Existing Records

• Once an individual element in an older record has been changed to reflect RDA practice, it should not be changed back to a pre-RDA form even though the record is still coded AACR2 or earlier rules.
• When performing copy cataloging, catalogers may locally edit these elements to reflect earlier rules but the master record should not be changed.

Journey of the Book

Follow one book in high-speed from arrival at the library through processing and onto the shelf.

Journey of the Book
University of Illinois Libraries
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lleGk0usLI8



If I had found this video before my Bib Control training last week, I could had saved a lot of time detailing the process to candidates who had no or little cataloguing experience.

Nevertheless, I think using the analogy of "I am a book" to share the journey of a book, and describe how it is being "accession", "bar coded", "classified", "label with call number" and put on the shelf is an interesting role play that I enjoy acting.

The humour of a talking and walking book which lead the tour of the journey also created a different impact on the audience!

LibraryThing: Future of Cataloging

I was looking for some references for Bib Control and found the followings:

What is LibraryThing?

"LibraryThing is a cataloging and social networking site for book lovers."

"LibraryThing helps you create a library-quality catalog of books: books you own, books you've read, books you'd like to read, books you've lent out ... whatever grouping you'd like."

"Since everyone catalogs online, they also catalog together. You can contribute tags, ratings and reviews for a book, and Common Knowledge (facts about a book or author, like character names and awards), as well as participate in member forums or join the Early Reviewers program. Everyone gets the benefit of everyone else's work. LibraryThing connects people based on the books they share."

I think it is a new trend in cataloguing personal library collection, and from the statistics, it is gaining popularity!

"Enter 200 books for free, as many as you like for $10 (year) or $25 (life)." It is easy to start free and affordable even if you want to join "Life" membership!

I run a search on "Singapore" and it returns with "About 1,976 results". The hit list included a lot of travelling guides and some good reference titles and good local imprints.

It is interesting to browse the library owners' profile and get to know people who collect books that you like. The library owner are book lover and willing to catalogue them and share their reading interest!

OCLC record: Ho Soo Miang: part 4

Source of information:
http://www.worldcat.org/wcidentities/np-ho,%20soo%20miang

General public who has no access to OCLC Cataloguing Account, can do a google search and may also get WorldCat records. If they know how to access WorldCat direct via http://www.worldcat.org/, they can find the records with much ease.

The search at http://www.worldcat.org/ is like OPAC search. Viewers can read the full records, but cannot have access to MARC format.

The search at http://connexion.oclc.org/ that we use in LAS WSQ Level 2 Support Bibliographic Control allows trainees to view MARC records and get links on MARC tags and fields/subfields.

I did a few google searches tonight and noted that under "何舒敏", "Soo-Miang Ho" or "Ho Soo Miang", and "新加坡最早的華文日報 : 叻報 (1881-1932)" I was led to the above WorldCat summary for all my works in various editions, held by 9 +3 libraries worldwide.

Here are the first records I found with OCLC record number:

新加坡最早的華文日報 : 叻報 (1881-1932) by 何舒敏( Book )

OCLC record: Ho Soo Miang: part 3

While searching for cataloguing example for MARC tag 041 "Language Code" to clear the doubt of one candidate for Module 3 Support Bibliographic Control this evening, I found with joy the following OCLC record number "654390268" of my previous work:

The earliest Chinese newspaper of Singapore, the Lat Pau, 1881-1932
新加坡最早的華文日報: 叻報 (1881-1932)

041 is being used:

When I click on "葉季允", the editor of the earliest Chinese newspaper of Singapore, the Lat Pau Press, I get the following texts:

1906 未见,因此笔者认为,在叶季允辞去编务〔 1904 〕之前,何渔古为叻报主笔之一, ... 同注 173 ,叶季允于二十一岁任叻报主笔,以其任期四十一年推算,逝世时实^应为六十 ...

Although the OCR (Optical character recognition) is not able to read and transcribe all the Chinese Characters in the text correctly, knowing that it is done and available in "Electronic Resource" is still a great discovery for me.


Hence, I think those who are interested in researching the earliest Chinese newspaper of Singapore will be able to source for my writing with ease via Google Books (http://books.google.com/books?id=rO59AAAAIAAJ)!

Some trainees wanted to know if the same e-copy was available from NLB. So I did a search and found it in BOOKSG which had the entry with a different cover page show at
