[MinervaCats] material types & graphic novels

[rfrancis@curtislibrary.com]

Hi Ellen,

I can't see just yet how this would help...it would be one more thing to 
have to remember, when there is so much already.  It's hard enough 
ensuring that the non-standard material types we have now are used 
properly.   What would this do that the genre heading 'Graphic novels' 
doesn't?

Subject
[MinervaCats] material types & graphic novels






Dear catalogers,
 
The subject of material types in the bibliographic record was discussed at 
the most recent meeting of the Minerva Cataloging Standards Committee on 
Aug. 24.  Among other issues, it was noted that the type "d" is labeled 
"MS music", and currently none of the Minerva libraries uses this 
designation.  The Committee is also studying the genre of Graphic Novels 
and in the discussion it was suggested that this genre should be given its 
own material type. 
 
The Committee would like to hear comments from Minerva catalogers about 
changing material type "d" from MS music to Graphic Novel.  Do you think 
this change would be beneficial, or do you have an objection?  Please post 
your replies to the MinervaCats list. 
 
Thanks,
Ellen
