We will be meeting in the Studio room at the Maine State Library in Augusta. Please remember to register online for this meeting as soon as possible at http://evanced.info/maine/evanced/eventcalendar.asp. We will be reviewing several important issues, and I hope that you will be able to attend. Please let me know if you have any questions or topics to be added to the agenda. Thanks, Ellen -- Ellen M.

The bib records in this file are b26989517 - b27005148. Please do not edit these bib records until after 12:00 am, Thursday, July 9. (You may still attach items to these bibs.) In order to make these bibs easier for catalogers to identify I have inserted a 949 field in each one that states "IN AUTHORITY PROCESSING". This field will be deleted after the bibs are reloaded.

About 1 year ago Bonnie Collins completed a document that provides detailed information and guidelines for cataloging these items in Minerva. The document was distributed at several users group meetings and has been made available online at http://www.minervacats.blogspot.com/, but unfortunately it has not been posted on the Maine InfoNet webpage yet. If you still are unfamiliar with these guidelines or would like to receive another copy before the meeting next week, please send me an email and I will forward the document to you. I can't send it out to the list at large because of its size, but will send it to you as an attachment. Also, if you have not registered for the meeting yet, please do so as soon as possible. So far only a few of you have done so, maybe because it's a Friday in July! Thanks, Ellen -- Ellen M.

Actually very few of the Minerva libraries use "storage". In my mind, I was thinking that storage might need to be nonrequestable for some libraries, and requestable for others. If you used a location code there would be less potential for a conflict. We don't need to free up space by eliminating some codes, but we felt that removing the redundant ones and clarifying what's left would be helpful to both catalogers and circ staff. We thought that "storage" indicates that an item is actually stored separately from the rest of the collection and therefore would more logically be a location. Anyway, that's the rationale... No decisions have been made and we will talk about it again on Friday, so if you have any other thoughts about this please let me know. Thanks for your input, Ellen -- Ellen M.

We have a full agenda and a lot to cover tomorrow, so it would be good to start on time at 10 am. We can take a longer than usual break during the middle and take care of the deliveries then.

My other thoughts were to make sure that the totes are very clearly labeled, and to only bring returns--not new materials, as it seems like that would compound the problem.

The circulation committee received a copy and a request for clarification on status codes lost, claims returned, and paid. On behalf of the committee thanks to everyone who sent in comments. The committee wants to remind catalogers that their comments are important as it helps us decide what needs to be done to benefit all of Minerva. The committee will meet today, July 17, 2009 to discuss comments from MinervaCats and the circulation committee on defining the item status codes. *Maine InfoNet (Alisia Revitt)*** After the recent Millennium upgrade, people are reporting that their sessions have been freezing and/or crashing. The solution to this problem is to uninstall and then re-install Millennium. (Directions to do so can be found at http://www.maine.gov/infonet/minerva/sysinfo/software/index.htm). Alisia noted that older computers may run into this problem regardless and that having multiple sessions open may make the problem worse. MIN and the Minerva Executive Board are working towards creating a document that tells Minerva librarians how to handle holds during the delivery crisis. (MIN has already disabled online requesting in the Minerva opac.) The most important thing is not to cancel holds. Instead choose to ignore the hold when checking out items to patrons at the circulation desk. The document will be distributed on MeLIBS. * * *Cataloging Issues* *Reminders: GMD, remote material type, DVD viewing (Ellen Conway)* *GMD:* When creating new bibliographic records or when importing bibliographic records be sure that the GMD is placed in the correct location (245 |h) and that the GMD is from the approved list. ( http://www.maine.gov/infonet/minerva/cataloging/manual/ch4.htm#listgmd). This is important because incorrect GMDs cause searching problems for the patron and also cause problems when globally updating records. *Remote Material Type:* Whenever you import bibliographic records, be sure to check the Material Type field (located in fixed fields). All bibliographic records for print materials imported from z39 databases default to an ?a? in the Material Type field. If the item is actually a large print book or graphic novel, the mat type must be changed to the appropriate code. Imported bib records for non-print material will have ?-? in the material type field; it is very important to remember to fill in this information. Also check the Material Type field when you are attaching to an existing bibliographic record as it might not be correct. DVD Viewing: Librarians have reported that it takes a really long time to get a copy of the Cataloging User Group Meetings on DVD. If you are watching the Cataloging User Group meeting on DVD, please view them as soon as possible and send them on to the next library. During the delivery crisis, please use the U.S. mail. DVDs can be copied or downloaded to PCs. *Authority Checking and Updates* 1. When editing bibliographic records, check to make sure that the author?s name in the 100 field is correctly entered. Instructions on how to do this are below. This is important because if a name is entered incorrectly, the Marcive Authority Process will not correct it. How to check an author?s name in the authority file: ? Place cursor anywhere on the name and right click your mouse ? Choose ?Verify heading? ? In the results list, look for the entry that has the name and ?Authority Record? ? Click on this name ? If this is the author you want, click ?OK? and this correct form will automatically be entered. If you need more information to decide, click ?View?. ? NOTE: This same process can be used for subject headings. 1. It has been noted that during the monthly Marcive Authority updating, only authority records and not bibliographic records were being updated. That is, if an authority record was changed to include a death date, this change was not being made to the existing bibliographic records using that name. To correct this, MIN staff ran a program called DeathFlip which retrospectively updated all bibliographic records to conform with any updated authority records. Marcive is also adding ?see also? notes to their authority records at no charge. NOTE: Do not edit authority records. These records are owned by the Library of Congress and only they have the right to change them. NOTE: When verifying headings, do not choose the one the authority record that has DeathFlip in the 667 field. 1. Question: What to do with an author who does not have an authority record in Minerva: ? Clicking ?INN-View? allows you to search Innovative?s Authority database. If you find it there, click save. If not, don?t worry about it. Eventually Marcive will catch up with it. *Graphic Novels: Powerpoint Review (Ellen Conway)* Ellen gave a powerpoint presentation concerning the 245 field in graphic novel bibliographic records. The presentation was very well received. James Jackson Sanborn will see about getting it posted to the MSL website. *Subtitles v. Series (Ellen Conway)* Be sure that what you are entering as a subtitle is really a subtitle and not a series. If a series is entered in the bibliographic record as a subtitle, that record will not appear in the opac when a patron does a title search for a series title. *The following definitions are taken from Wynar?s Introduction to Cataloging and Classification by Arlene Taylor.* Series: A number of separate works, usually related in subject or form, that are issued successively They are usually issued by the same publisher, distributer, etc., and in uniform style, with a collective title. Example: Elm Creek Quilts Novel Subtitle: A secondary title, often used to expand or limit the title proper; considered to be one kind of ?other title information.? Example: ?a novel? *Question from Bill Chellis* How can I create a bibliographic record from an existing record? Answer: 1. Open bibliographic record you would like to copy 2. Click ?Edit? 3. Click ?Copy Record? 4. Select a template 5. Click ?OK? NOTE: the same bibliographic record appears but that above the fixed fields, it says ?New BIBLIOGRAPHIC? instead the original bib # 6. Edit the record how you want it, filling in all required fields 7. Click save *Question from Katherine Morgan* Ran out of time. Katherine?s question is tabled until the next meeting. *Item status codes: final comments?* There were no final comments. *Other* ? Catalogers need to change the MARC leader if a bibliographic record is updated. This is not done automatically. ? Keep the 001 if you know it is a OCLC number even if there is no 035 present in the bibliographic record. ? Punctuation in a bibliographic record is important and affects global updates. The following publications offer guidance in this issue: The AACR2, Cataloging with the AACR2 and MARC / Deborah Fritz, The LC MARC StandardsWebsite http://www.loc.gov/marc/ ? If you have permission to catalog, you are expected to fix errors in bibliographic records in the Minerva catalog. *Next meeting ? September 15, 2009, 10:00 am, Falmouth Memorial Library* *Minutes submitted by Carin Dunay.* -- Ellen M.

C., but on the last page it gives "Front Street an imprint of Boyds Mills Press, Honesdale, PA." I would day that if your book's publisher is Front Street go with Asheville, NC. I checked AACR2 1.4C5 and the rule "If two or more places in which a publisher, distributor, etc., has office are named in the item, give the first named place." It goes on to say if the "first name placed" aare not in your home coutnry, add the place of your home country. Does this help?
