General Catreq Tips and Trouble Spots

Expediting the Process

Here are a couple tips for improving your catreqs.

Clearing up these grey areas means less time researching catreqs for everyone.

Publication Numbers

Any numbers you find on your item are always very helpful.

Please feel free to add as many of these (ISBN, UPC, Manufacturers #s) as you feel comfortable with.

You can put any number in the 500 field.

Edition Statement (250)

An edition is not the same thing as a printing. Printing information does not need to go in the edition statement.

If there is no edition statement on the verso then leave the 250 blank.

If there is an edition statement somewhere else on the item, put it in a note telling us where you found the information.

Publisher (260)

Please use the publisher on the title page of the item if one is listed.

The title page often lists the imprint of the publisher of an item. The imprint is what you want to use in the 260.

If you think it is important to have both listed or are not sure which is the right publisher, then put one in the 260 and the other in a 500 and tell us where it was found on the item.

Dates for Movies

For a DVD or VHS recording you are cataloging the item in hand.

You want to use the distribution date for the DVD or VHS recording, not the date the contents was originally shown as a movie or television program.

Screen Formats

A film may list that it is widescreen or full screen. It may also use one of these terms or aspect ratios.

Widescreen may also be denoted as 1.66:1, 16:9, 1.78:1, 2.35:1

Full screen may also be denoted as 4:3, 1.33:1

Films may also be letterboxed If you are not sure if a film is full screen or

widescreen, you can put the aspect ratio in a note field for us to research.

Too Much is Better than Too Little You can always put any extra

information in the note (500) field. We would rather have too much

information than too little.

Information Requests from the Database Group Please remember, if we contact you

for additional information it doesn’t necessarily mean you have made an error. It just means that there is something that needs to be clarified in the record we have found.

CD-ROMS

Jimi Huttenhower (Bethel Park)

CD-ROMS

The chief source for cataloging CD-ROMs and computer disks is the title screen. Most often though, the title is from the CD-ROM or computer disk label. Always, make a note in the catalog record showing what was chosen as the chief source, e.g., Title from title screen or Title from label on disc. You can sometimes try to view the cd-rom but going to the start button and going to run function.

CD-ROMS

1. Material type “m” for electronic resource

2. 020 ISBN # If there is one 3. 245 (title) General material

designator (GMD) for CD-ROMs and computer disks is ‡h[electronic resource] The 245 title is taken from the chief source as indicated above. Title variations often appear in accompanying material, etc. These should be added as a 500 field.

CD-ROMS

4. 300 (physical description area) The physical unit for the CD-ROM is computer optical discs The ‡c is always 4 3/4 in.

5. 500 (Notes field) This field should include system requirements, the version of the cd-rom, accompanying material, publication numbers, series information, and any other important points about the cd-rom.

Books on Cassette & The Library Edition StatementNancy Henderson (McKeesport)

Books on Cassette

there is a 13 digit ISBN, you can add another 020 field and put it in as well.

Library Edition

If a part is lost or damaged, vendor does not replace part- must buy whole item.

If a part is lost or damaged, vendor will replace part at a reasonable price or free (depending on vendor’s plan)

ISBN number Different ISBN number

Library Edition

The publisher/distributor is the same. The number of CD’s and Cassettes is the same. The reader is the same. Content is the same.

Library Edition

Technical Services Committee recommended that there be only one bib record for such items. The Database Group took care of merging such bib records. So now you may see two ISBN numbers in the same bib record, often times showing two different prices. The 250 tag will show “Unabridged ed.” but not “Library ed.”

Library Edition

What to do when processing a Library edition of an audio book on CD or cassette:

Search the catalog for your item. If you find the “regular” edition you may use it. You may add the additional ISBN number. DO NOT add “Library ed.” in the 250 field. Add an internal note in the ITEM RECORD that says “Library ed.”

Library Edition

Use “x” for internal note, not “m” for message. Your staff won’t want to see that pop up every time an item is checked in or out! But it will be helpful for knowing how much to charge a patron for an individual lost CD or cassette.

Library Edition

If you need to do a CATREQ, do it as you normally would. DO NOT add the “Library ed.” in the edition statement. As above, add an internal note (“x”) in the ITEM RECORD that says “Library ed.”

Puppet Kits

Doreen Hurley (Mt. Lebanon)

Puppet Kits

These suggestions are for kits that are created by an individual library. Separately purchased puppets and books are combined and circulated as one kit. Since they are not produced by a specific company, the library itself is the publisher and a catreq must be made for each kit.

Book and CD sets

Mary Theobald (Moon Township)

Books w/ Accompanying Compact Disc Books with accompanying

compact disc are cataloged in two different ways.

A book with the compact disc which is located in a pocket on one of the covers of the book is cataloged as a book with accompanying material.

Books w/ Accompanying Compact Disc The compact disc is usually related

material such as forms or other types of material but not a recording of the book.

An example of this might be ‘Peterson’s four year colleges’ which is attached.

title page and the verso; the information for the compact disc will probably appear on the disc. Give as much information as possible with numbers that are specific indicators for the item.

Books w/ Accompanying Compact Disc 2. A book and a compact disc that

are separate items, i.e. a book and a compact disc that is a recording of the

book are cataloged as a sound recording with the book noted as the

accompanying material. An example of this is ‘Chicken Little’

which is attached.
