WEEK 4 (AACR2)

• AACR2 stands for the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition. It is published jointly by the American Library Association, the Canadian Library Association, and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals in the UK.

• Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) are designed for use in the construction of catalogues and other lists in general libraries of all sizes.

• The rules cover the description of, and the provision of access points for, all library materials commonly collected at the present time.

• The second edition of the rules is based on a reconciliation of the British and North American texts of the 1967 edition. This extends to style, which is generally in accordance with the Chicago Manual of Style, and to spellings, which are those of Webster’s New International Dictionary.

SUMMARY :

 In this AACR2, I' m going to learn how to do classification, to write ISBN, subject heading, how to use the second description, how to put the entry in the cataloging. This cataloging not only for books but also for non-book materials. In the other way we can say that ACCR2 is the format or the way that we are  cataloging books and non-books materials. So this include contains three parts which are classification, descriptive cataloging and subject cataloging. Descriptive cataloging describe an item, identifies access points and formats access points using Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules and appropriate name authority files.

WEEK 8 ( ENTRIES)

 Entries

• Entry is a record in the catalog.

• Type of entry is the entry author, title, series etc.

• One of the entries were selected for the main entry.

• Other entries we call the entry in addition. 

• Usually the main entry of the selected is under the name of the author. 

There is a rules how we select the entry. This table will summaries the rules for select the main entry for cataloging.

 

If the author is the main entry, so there is the rules how to write the author's name in the main entry. So this is the rules :

Conferences

While, for the conference, it is different for the way of recording the entry. Here are 2 conferences.

Examples :

1St International Malaysian Educational Technology Conference, Shah Alam, 2006
2nd International Malaysian Educational Technology Conference, Johor Bahru, 2007

This is the way how to record the conferences :

International Malaysian Educational Technology Conference (2006: Shah Alam)

International Malaysian Educational Technology Conference (2nd: 2007: Johor Bahru)

 

SUMMARY :  

Here are some examples of entries based on my understanding. This examples are taking from my exercise during learn cataloging at faculty's library.

For book which is had more than 3 authors :

For book which is only had 2 authors :

For book which has only 1 author :

WEEK 7 ( SUBJECT CATALOGING)

Subject cataloging
• Process of determining subject headings for an item.
• the headings which best represent the subjects of the work in words and/or phrases using an authoritative list

Aims:
– To provide access by subject to all relevant materials
– To provide subject access to materials through all suitable of
   subject organisation – i.e matter, process, application
– To bring together all references to material on a subject
    regardless of different terminology, different subject approaches,
    and the changing nature of material itself
– To show affiliations among subject fields
– To provide entry at any level of analysis
– To provide entry through any vocabulary common to any
   considerable group of users
– To provide a formal description the subject content of the item in
   the most precise terms possible, whether this be a word, phrase,
   class number etc

Vocabulary control
• The purpose of any list of subject headings or thesaorus is to control the
terms used in a catalog, bibliography or index.

Controlled vocabulary
• A controlled vocabulary in one in which there is one term or notation for any one concept
– It explicitly records the hierarchical and associative relations of a concept

• E.g Allergy
– Narrower term : Hay fever
– It establishes the saize or the scope oof each topic

• E.g Baseball
– Includes the concept softball

Controlled vocabulary
• A controlled vocabulary in one in which there is one term or notation for any one concept
– It identifies synonymous terms and selects one prefered
• E.g Capsicum       

– Use : Peppers

– For homonyms, it explicitly identifies the multiple concepts expressed by that word or phrase
– E.g
• Springs ( mechanical devices)
– Vs
• Springs (water sources)

Subject analysis
1. First examine the work in hand
2. Then decide on several keywords that could represent the subject
3. Using the keywords as a starting point, go to each term in the list to identify appropriate headings.

Subject analysis : determining the subject
• Title : may or may not be helpful
• Subtitle : often more useful
• Author : may provide an indication of the broad topic
• Forward, preface, introduction : usually state the author intention
• Publisher : may give an indication if the publisher specializes in a particular subject area
• Series : may be useful
• Content and index : usually the good indicator of the main topic
• Text :use to conform your ideas about the subject
• CIP : useful but use with care. CIP prepared prior to publication.

Principles of subject cataloging

1. User :
Always consider user and their needs. The heading, in wroding and structure , should be one that the user would be most likely to look for

2. Uniform headings
All items dealing with one subject should be placed under one heading

3. Terminology
•Synonyms
•Variant spellings
•English vs other languages
•Technical vs popular
•Obsolete vs current terms
•Homonyms

Popular subject list
1. Library of Congress Subject Headings
2. Sears list of Subject Headings -is a list of subject headings for small libraries

SUMMARY :

These are three examples of subject heading based on my understanding. This examples are taking from my exercise for subject heading by using Library of Congress Subject Headings.

WEEK 5 (INTRODUCTION TO CATALOGING : CONCEPT & PROCESS)

What is Catalog?

A list of library material contained in a collection, a library, or group of libraries, arranged according to some definite plan.

What is Cataloging?

• Cataloging is the process by which we create and maintain the database of books, journals, audiovisual materials, etc.

• Cataloging is the preparation of blibliography information for catalogue records. 

•  Cataloger use a set of cataloging tools, which are the agreed international rules and standard.

The Goals of Cataloging :

• To enable a person to find a book  (or other material) of which either

-the author

-the title

-the subject is known.

• To show what the library has

-by a given author

-on a given subject

-in a given kind of literature

• To assist in the choice of a book (or other material)

-as to the edition (bibliographically)

-as to its character (literary or topical)

These are sometimes summarized as:

1) identifying or finding known items;

2) collocating or bringing together related materials;

3) providing sufficient data so that the user can evaluate and select from among related

materials.

3 Main Areas in Catalog Record :

• Classification
• Description
• Subject

Bibliographic Record :

• Description of the work

• Heading : 

               -Main entry

SUMMARY :

From lesson this week , I got some information about cataloging. So, I know what the is meaning of cataloging, the goals of cataloging, and why it is important. Other than that, I also known 3 main area in catalog record which are classification, description and subject. Bibliographic record and ISBD also is teach in this week. From this lesson, I also learned that, there are 3 descriptive level which are 1st level, second level and third level.

So, for the next lesson I will learn about how to cataloging using 1st level, second level and third level.
