Assignment 11- Zine Cataloging

Reflections on Cataloging

Having finished cataloging my ten zines, I can say that from my perspective as a

cataloger, cataloging in DC or Zinecore with the Zine thesaurus seems to be a much better fit

than RDA/Marc cataloging and LCSH because of the nature and the format of zines.

The goal of a zine is to be a unique, independent publication, so trying to follow RDA

and LCSH seems to go against the basic essence of the creator’s intent. Rather than accept the

themes as they are, or as they are covered in the zine thesaurus, it is often difficult to find subject

headings in LC that are a good match, because many of the LCSH are designed for scholarly

works instead of the topics typically covered in zines.

The formats of zines are also unique, and rarely follow the conventions of typical

publications. As a result, much of the information that one needs to fill out in KOHA is hidden,

missing, or even contradicts other information in the zine. Sorting through this and entering it in

proper Marc format is very time-consuming. Catalogers have to balance the amount of time they

spend cataloging an item with the likely user needs in accessing the item.

Even from the perspective of the user, though, I think DC or Zinecore is more appropriate

for zines. Although they may not have the benefit of searching for these materials through the

standard catalog, the keywords they use to conduct a search may be more likely to coincide with

general terms or zine thesaurus terms than with LCSH.

Personally, I think Zinecore offers the best mix of cataloging ease while still being user-

friendly. The zine thesaurus terms help to provide some authority-control in the subject area,

while still being more flexible and relevant than LCSH. And with Zinecore you can also address

the illustrative content better through the “medium” category, which helps users who wish to

search out different formats of zines, such as hand drawn versus typewritten.

Ultimately, I think the form of cataloging might also be tied to how an Institution

classifies the zines. If they are gathered together in one area as a browsing collection, then

having them accessible through the standard catalog may be less important. If the library plans to

shelve each one with books and other materials according to subject, then the added time

commitment of RDA/LCSH cataloging may be necessary and appropriate.
