(In Library School at Rutgers they said ,"you'll never have to use this.) Nevertheless, I'm humming along when I come upon an issue I can't get a handle on. The problem is this: We have a number of children's books with Spanish and English text on facing pages. I don't see an option in the fixed fields for more than one language. Maybe as a result of that, I've had difficulty getting the right record for my particular edition. Some are all English, some all Spanish._ Is there an answer out there, or do we just put "eng" and explain the rest in a 500 note?

Change the item record status "e" ("In Tech Serv") to a nonrequestable status. This would prevent the requesting of items that have various problems that prevent them from circulating. Currently, the other item statuses that are nonrequestable are q- owns (only Maine InfoNet staff can use this), $ - paid, z ?claims returned, m ? missing, l-lost, s- on search, n- billed, w- withdraw shelf, k ? online, and o ? library use only. 2. Change the existing bibliographical material type "d" from "ms music" to "Blu-Ray". Ms music is a material type that is not being used in the Minerva catalog. Blu-Ray discs are growing in popularity, and it is felt that a dedicated material type will help to distinguish them from DVDs and VHS tapes. 3. Add a new material type for "equipment". We have noticed a growing number of items being added to the catalog, such as MP3 players, headphones, remote controls, etc., and believe that there should be a material type for this general category of items.

We use "e" for anything in Technical Services that need a new cover, spine label, editing, waiting for replacement disk etc. We would like those items to be requestable. They usually only have that status for a few days. We use the status "p" for all new items being processed. We could of course use "p" for everything, but would prefer it the way it is if possible. 2. There are only two music manuscripts with the material type "d" Annie get your gun and The Music Man McArthur should probably change those to "c" (printed music) ? 3. I made a list of everything with the realia material type --surprise, surprise! List #124 has 1450 items. Are some of these kits? There is a videorecording and sound recording hiding in there. There are also some strange gmd's with the library name in the brackets. Would be nice to get some of these cleaned up.

There are 1235 items in "technical services" with only seven holds, all but one placed within the last few days.

Change the item record status "e" ("In Tech Serv") to a nonrequestable status. This would prevent the requesting of items that have various problems that prevent them from circulating. Currently, the other item statuses that are nonrequestable are q- owns (only Maine InfoNet staff can use this), $ - paid, z ?claims returned, m ? missing, l-lost, s- on search, n- billed, w- withdraw shelf, k ? online, and o ? library use only. 2. Change the existing bibliographical material type "d" from "ms music" to "Blu-Ray". Ms music is a material type that is not being used in the Minerva catalog. Blu-Ray discs are growing in popularity, and it is felt that a dedicated material type will help to distinguish them from DVDs and VHS tapes. 3. Add a new material type for "equipment". We have noticed a growing number of items being added to the catalog, such as MP3 players, headphones, remote controls, etc., and believe that there should be a material type for this general category of items. Please post any comments to the MinervaCats listserv by Friday, February 27, 2009. thanks Katherine, chair Ulla Messerschmidt Technical Services Librarian Thomas Memorial Library 6 Scott Dyer Road Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107 (207) 767-2273 ext, 290 umesserschmidt at thomas.lib.me.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is an excellent record lacking only an ISBN. The other bib, b26826343, was created on 2/12/09 by otp and it is a duplicate of the older record, the only major difference being that it includes the ISBN. I don't know how this duplication occurred but it happens too often. My guess is that this is the result of searching for a record using the ISBN. Please, catalogers, ALWAYS search by title first. If that has no result, then your next search should be by author (if there is one, of course). Only then should you search on the ISBN. In general when looking for good bibs to attach to, if you find one that seems to be a match in ever other way, but info such as the ISBN is missing, please use the record and add the missing field. There doesn't seem to be any way to prevent duplications like this other than by careful searching. If you find such a duplication and are not able to eliminate it please advise me. I will go ahead and merge these records. You should attach to the cam bib, b26807932.

The following is a quote from Bonnie Collins' guidelines on cataloging graphic novels: "Subject headings (MARC 6XX fields) Subject headings for both content and format should be added to graphic novel bib records. Two headings should be used consistently. 1. Graphic novels ? The MARC tag is 650 because the heading ?Graphic novels? denotes a format not a genre." (you can find the rest of the guidelines on the MinervaCats Blog). In other words, "graphic novel" is used to refer to both fiction and nonfiction materials in a specific format. It is not a genre, such as historical fiction, or comic books, etc. If you look at the authority record in the Minerva database for graphic novel, you will see that the term "graphic nonfiction" is used as a "see from". I hope this helps!

I recently made a list of items "in technical services". Some have stayed in "Technical Services" for almost 5 years, but librarians have checked their shelves and approximately 130 of those were found. It would be unfortunate to make a status unrequestable when the item is sitting on the shelf. On the other hand, there are only 3 item level holds on all the 1300 or so items in tech services, so maybe there isn't a reason to make that status unrequestable. The bib level holds should jump to another item if the hold isn't filled. You might want to make a list of everything with a status of repair. You could be lucky and find a few on the shelf.

Morgan " 2/19/2009 11:24 AM >>> Hello Catalogers, This is a reminder that you have a week left to give the Cataloging Standards Committee feedback on changing "in tech service" or "in repair" or both to nonrequestable. At this time both status codes are requestable. There are two more items that the committee needs comments about. I have listed all three below. Please remember to reply to the list when e-mailing your comments. Thank-you for your input, as this is to make cataloging and the OPAC better for everyone using Minerva. Katherine, chair 1.Change the item record status "e" ("In Tech Serv"), or ?r? (In repair), or both to a nonrequestable status. This would prevent the requesting of items that have various problems that prevent them from circulating. Currently, the other item statuses that are nonrequestable are q- owns (only Maine InfoNet staff can use this), $ - paid, z ?claims returned, m ? missing, l-lost, s- on search, n- billed, w- withdraw shelf, k ? online, and o ? library use only. 2. Change the existing bibliographical material type "d" from "ms music" to "Blu-Ray". Ms music is a material type that is not being used in the Minerva catalog. Blu-Ray discs are growing in popularity, and it is felt that a dedicated material type will help to distinguish them from DVDs and VHS tapes. 3. Add a new material type for "equipment". We have noticed a growing number of items being added to the catalog, such as MP3 players, headphones, remote controls, etc., and believe that there should be a material type for this general category of items. Please post any comments to the MinervaCats listserv by Friday, February 27, 2009. Katherine R.

Message-ID: <20090225190503.3hxbmmiqokcwk4sg@mail.msln.net> Hi All I have "Jack and the box", b26635161, is a "toon book" and two other "toon books" Silly Lilly b26019516, and Benny and Penny, b26420235 have "h" for the material type. So, why doesn't "Jack and the box"? Libraries listed for Jack and box are plj ,cmlj ,fmlj ,gar ,litj ,norj ,pitj ,ricj ,rocj ,sca ,wlkj ,warj ,welj. In additon, Silly Lilly has 655 _1 Comic books, strips ,etc. and a subject heading for graphic novel. While Jack and the box and Benney and Penny have 655_7 Comic books, strips, etc. - which MARC is correct, and no subject heading for graphic novel? thanks for your help Katherine Katherine R.

Instead of requesting a separate location code for this small collection, we just marked them with status code e. More importantly it seems that at least a few libraries use this code for items that need attention. What Lynn Uhlman had previously posted on another stream on this subject makes sense. I'll paste her message in below. Karen "It makes sense to have them non-requestable. Each of these status codes could be used for items that will be out of commission for an indefinite time. If a patron puts a hold on an item with one of these status codes, who knows how long they will have to wait. This way they can put a hold on an item that is 'available'." Lynn ************ Lynn A.

Morgan " 2/19/2009 11:24 AM >>> Hello Catalogers, This is a reminder that you have a week left to give the Cataloging Standards Committee feedback on changing "in tech service" or "in repair" or both to nonrequestable. At this time both status codes are requestable. There are two more items that the committee needs comments about. I have listed all three below. Please remember to reply to the list when e-mailing your comments. Thank-you for your input, as this is to make cataloging and the OPAC better for everyone using Minerva. Katherine, chair 1.Change the item record status "e" ("In Tech Serv"), or ?r? (In repair), or both to a nonrequestable status. This would prevent the requesting of items that have various problems that prevent them from circulating. Currently, the other item statuses that are nonrequestable are q- owns (only Maine InfoNet staff can use this), $ - paid, z ?claims returned, m ? missing, l-lost, s- on search, n- billed, w- withdraw shelf, k ? online, and o ? library use only. 2. Change the existing bibliographical material type "d" from "ms music" to "Blu-Ray". Ms music is a material type that is not being used in the Minerva catalog. Blu-Ray discs are growing in popularity, and it is felt that a dedicated material type will help to distinguish them from DVDs and VHS tapes. 3. Add a new material type for "equipment". We have noticed a growing number of items being added to the catalog, such as MP3 players, headphones, remote controls, etc., and believe that there should be a material type for this general category of items.

Jay's idea of perhaps standardizing the use of the different codes seems to make sense, too. So, here is how we currently use the codes to add to the other examples accumulating... Books "in repair" could be out of the loop for a while as we are dependent upon volunteers for this; it's also possible the book medics may not be able to save them. This is also true for items "in tech services" which covers a much broader range of circumstances. This is anything and everything that is sent to the workroom for any kind of cataloguing attention or consideration of its physical condition other than standard book repair: book jacket covering physically takes place in this room and av material that needs to be evaluated for cleaning/repair (in-house or out) or replacement/discard also collects here. These can also spend a fair amount of time awaiting their turn and also may not be returned to the shelves in the end. Somewhere in the discussion the use of "in processing" was also mentioned. This is our default status in our template when creating new items. These are usually headed out to circulation within a few days--again dependent upon part-time and volunteer schedules to get through the whole process. Sometimes when checking our part-time assistant's work I will find a record that I feel needs further work and will set it aside to move the bulk of the items along. Hope this is helpful.

I would like to review for you what the committee intends to work on going forward from this discussion. First of all, we most certainly will be looking at all the item status codes with the goal of defining and clarifying them. There actually may be some codes that can be retired. We would like to be able to standardize and simplify as much as possible. Second, we do think that there is a need to have a status for items that are being held out of circulation but not withdrawn for varied reasons that is non-requestable, or in other words, can't be reserved by patrons. It would be wonderful if we could all say that items in repair or in tech services will be dealt with in short order, but I think the reality is that many libraries' resources and/or priorities prevent this from actually happening. There should be a way of changing status so that holds can't be placed. No decisions have been made about which status to use, etc. Third, I think that the term itself, "non-requestable", can be confusing, owing to the fact that it is used in 2 different ways that have different meanings in reference to item records. When talking about item status, "non-requestable" means it can't be reserved or held by patrons. However a nonrequestable i-type is one that can't be borrowed outside Minerva.
