There are a few things you need to know before holds are placed. 1. place holds through Millennium as the DVDs are suppressed from the OPAC - the title is "Minerva/SOLAR" 2. one hold per library - if there is more than one cataloger you can watch together or share notes 3. when placing the hold note the volume field - the date of the cataloging meeting is in this field - you want to get the correct cataloging meeting DVD 4. please copy the DVD to your computer or another DVD if possible - we need to circulate the DVDs as quickly as possible I think that is all for now - happy viewing Katherine, chair Katherine R.

One will run like clockwork for ages and then someone on the other end changes a port or the # of remote sites that can access at any given time and we're back to square one. I check my source every so often to see if I can find any new ones, but it has been a long time since I found any that I could set up either in Minerva or Solar that were worth the time.

You need to check the volume field for the correct meeting date as well. The tapes are suppressed in the OPAC. In addition, Minerva libraries are the first to receive the tapes because of requirements in the Minerva agreement. When all the tapes are back Deb Hensler will send a message on SOLAR-L saying they are available and how SOLAR libraries get receive a copy of the meetings. thanks Katherine, chair Katherine R.

The new director of Maine InfoNet, James Jackson Sanborn, started in his new position on August 20, 2008. He and his family recently moved from North Carolina to Orono. The InfoNet staff have moved into new offices on the UM Campus in Orono, in the York Village apartments. Deb will continue to work out of the Maine State Library in Augusta, but has a cubicle in the Orono office. The InfoNet contact webpage has been revised to reflect these changes; all staff information may now be found at http://maine.gov/infonet/contactus.htm The staff position Agency Technology Officer-Library Automation Manager, formerly held by Jon Forest, is still open; candidate interviews should take place in the near future. All requests for technical support should now be submitted to the web-based support site at http://espresso.ums.maine.edu:8088/ Your request will open a "ticket" which should expedite the handling of your issues. Please include your phone number with your request. Annette Tanguay asked for a review of how to register for the web-based support system. Deb advised that Tim Pellett (UM Orono) is in charge of this program. If you don't receive an email validating your registration, check your spam folder and/or make sure that the website is not blocked by your computer system. If you are unable to access the webpage, contact your IT department. Cataloging questions may be submitted in this manner; use this for specific questions rather than those that can be circulated via the MinervaCats list serv. A promising feature of the web-based support system is the "Knowledge Base". This will offer tips and answers to FAQs, and eventually the "how-tos" from the web pages will be moved here. This will probably not happen before the Library Automation Manager position is filled. *Cataloging Standards Committee:* Katherine Morgan reported on the Users Group's first effort to record and circulate meetings for those libraries unable to attend in person. The Users meeting in July 2008 was the first to be recorded. The recording was transferred to DVDs which then were cataloged and processed by Ann Russell. To view these DVDs you must place an item level hold through Millennium because the bib record is suppressed from public view. Remember, you must request the discs by the specific date found in the volume note. Search for the title "Minerva/SOLAR Cataloger's Meeting". There will be 3 DVD copies for each meeting. Because of the large number of catalogers requesting the DVDs, Deb suggested that as soon as you receive one, copy it to your computer or to another disc of your own. Move it along to the next library on the list as soon as possible. If the proposed meeting attendance policy is approved, Minerva libraries will be expected to either attend in person or view the DVD, or some combination of both, a minimum of 3 meetings per calendar year. Anne Mosey mentioned that her copy of the DVD did not work properly; it was suggested that she try viewing it on another computer or player. Written minutes of the Users Group meetings will continue to be circulated. *Bonnie's report:* Bonnie has compiled a new list of resources for catalogers that has been posted online at http://maine.gov/infonet/minerva/cataloging/resources/index.htm If you see any problems or have suggestions for additional resources please send her a note. This list can be printed out for easy reference. Doris asked for directions to the cataloging information webpages. They are found at http://maine.gov/infonet/minerva/cataloging/index.htm Remember, too, that you can use the Google search function on this page to locate specific information. Bonnie discussed the use of the MinervaCats listserv when seeking information about specific materials or bib records. If you send out a question for other catalogers please list the libraries in your query. If your library is asked for further information by one of these emails, please respond in some way in a timely manner. If you don't get the answers you need from other catalogers try contacting the publisher. Katherine Morgan asked for clarification of the sequence of subfields on Marc 856 fields that contain URLs. As long as the URL is given in subfield |u and the description is in subfield |z, it does not matter which order they are in. When importing remote records, remember that any subfield |3 should be changed to |z. Denise Simms asked about the use of the 545 Maine author note. Bonnie explained that if the Maine author's full name is given in the 100 field, the full name does not need to be repeated in the 545. The full name can be used in the 545 if he is an editor, etc. The note should be composed with the phrase "Maine author" first. This is followed by the explanation in a |b subfield. Example (for Tess Gerritsen): "545 0 Maine author. Gerritsen lives in Camden, Me." The |b subfield must be used. (This information is omitted on the cataloging webpage and will be corrected.) The 545 may be used in this manner for cartographers, editors, illustrators, poets, etc. Do not use it for books about these persons. Likewise, do not use the heading "650 0 Authors, American ? Maine" unless the book is ABOUT that person. The 545 field is repeatable. It was suggested that the Cat. Standards committee should compile a list of permitted designations for this field. *Ellen's report:* Maine Historical Society said that they are removing some maps from the books they were published in and storing them in a physically separate location. The maps and books are being cataloged on separate bib records. MHS catalogers asked if it would be appropriate to use Marc 773 and 774 linking fields to connect these bib records. Although these are valid fields, using them for this purpose may be problematic. Deborah Fritz says in her Marc/AACR2 guide that these fields normally link to each other using a control number, commonly an OCLC number. Such a number would not be found in the original cataloging records for unique items. In addition, Deb said she would have to investigate whether our Millennium package supports this function. Bonnie suggested that MHS use a 590 note (for local content) for this linking information. They agreed to try this out. Ellen reviewed cataloging "playaways". Playaways are self-contained MP3 format sound recorded books that require batteries and headphones for operation. Minerva does have a unique material type for playaways, "s". The proper GMD for a playaway is "|h[sound recording], and the item is described in the 300 field as a "sound media player". Please be aware that many if not most of the remote bibs for playaways include subfield |e, listing accompanying materials (batteries, headphones) in the 300. This subfield should be removed. Some libraries circulate playaways with the batteries, etc. and some do not. This is a local decision, so these items should not appear in the bib record. Remember, too, that playaway bib records should include a 538 field that lists the equipment required for the operation of the item. *Graphic novels:* Bonnie reminded catalogers that graphic novels and comic strip collections are not the same material type. A graphic novel tells a story using both narrative and pictures, and should be given material type "h". Many serial comics have been reissued as graphic novels. However, compilations of Garfield or Calvin & Hobbes strips, for example, are not graphic novels, and should have material "a". If your library chooses to shelve comic collections and graphic novels together, it's OK to use a special graphic novel location or call number specific to you, but do not use the graphic novel material type or subject/genres headings inappropriately. Remember the phrase "graphic novel" refers to both fiction and nonfiction content. Bonnie's guide to cataloging graphic novels will be posted online. *Other:* * * There was a discussion of how long items with the status "billed" should remain in the system, and if these items should be suppressed. There was no definite answer to this question although it was agreed that these items might stay in the catalog for up to 2 years. Deb will refer this question to the circulation committee. Bonnie mentioned that she has been working on updating and correcting records that use the 545 "Maine author" note. *Special thanks* to Jim Roy for his videorecording services! *Next meeting:* 10 am., November 7, 2008 at Husson College, Bangor Register at http://evanced.info/maine/evanced/eventcalendar.asp Submitted by Ellen Conway -- Ellen M.

I pulled some of our cataloging shelf-sitters down (all AV) and ran some of them through your choices. Of the six, University of AZ and University of Hawaii were the least useful as you might expect. My problem areas are AV cataloging in general, but particularly cataloging for MP3's and for the superb Bolinda audio books we purchase (sales pitch here: this is a great company and the distibutor is in Maine). I liked these for the following reasons: Public Libraries in Milwaukee County (MP3's and music) State Library of Western Australia (Bolinda Audio is an Australian company and this connection gave me every title I needed! as opposed to our exisitng Australian National Library.) Tulsa Public (Tulsa seems to be building a good Playaway collection and the music collection looks strong) Hennepin County PL (music) I think from a public library perspective the 4 PLs you've found would be great additions!

It is possible that some of these are legitimate...i.e. vol 1, vol 2, but most appear to be the copyright date and they don't seem to be serial records. Maybe libraries could use this list as a review file and have this field globally removed where it is incorrect? Ulla TML Dear Minervians, Four bib-level holds have been placed on the Pillars of the Earth CD by fml, rkd, swh and cml. This record includes libraries that are circulating both discs and libraries that are circulating the 2 discs separately. That means the volume field has been used in at least 4 of the item records. And that means that you need to place item-level holds. When placing holds in the OPAC, you are forced to choose an item, but the system lets you place bib-level holds in Millennium even when you shouldn't. The libraries that placed the bib-level holds need to cancel those holds and place item-level holds for those patrons. Only request 1 volume at at time for the patron, or they may get the second volume before the first; it would probably make sense to request volume 2 when the first arrives at your library. This issue has come up before and has been discussed at circ meetings. When placing holds in Millennium -- be careful!!!! Look before clicking Hold Copy Returned Soonest -- if any of the call numbers include something like Vol. 1, Vol. 2, v.1, or v.2 like this items do, check to see if the volume field has been used in any of the records and place an item-level hold if so. This is a problem because libraries will get requests that don't say which volume has been requested; patrons may get volume 2 when they'd really like to start listening to a book with volume 1, and it throws off the patron priority list and people who placed holds earlier than others may get passed over. You can avoid this problem by using the OPAC to place holds -- it will let you know if it needs to be an item-level hold or not.
