LIS 703 -- Final Exam

Instructions for Completing and Submitting Your Exam - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

The Final Exam for this course is divided into two parts. In the first part, you will answer three (3) questions that require you to reflect upon and write coherently about course content from throughout the semester. In the second part of the exam, you will create three (3) MARC records for items I will give you (do not catalog any other items!). Use the variable and fixed fields templates provided for each item to transcribe your answers. There are further instructions under each part of the exam - please read these instructions carefully.

You may use the following to complete the exam:

RDA Toolkit (RDA) Classification Web (LCSH and LCC) LC Authorities website OCLC Bibliographic Formats & Standards website LIS 703 Course Lessons, Lectures, Discussion Postings, Blog Postings & Assessments Course textbooks and handouts

The course instructor has the following expectations for each question in Part 1:

Answer each question fully using course content and resources Cite sources that you use, whether you quote directly or paraphrase For all questions except for #3, keep your answers between 200-300 words per answer. For

question #3, your answer should be around 300-400 words

The course instructor has the following expectations for each record in Part 2:

Use the templates provided Create each record using MARC coding Create each record using RDA & ISBD punctuation Fill-in all applicable fixed & variable fields Consult authority records to determine the preferred form of name and series access points Consult LCSH to construct valid subject headings/subject strings (as many as you deem

appropriate for the item, but there needs to be at least one (1) subject heading/subject string per record)

Consult LCC to construct one, full call number per record

LIS 703 Final Exam p. 2

You are encouraged to consult the course Lessons and Assessments, as well as resources such as RDA Toolkit and OCLC Bibliographic Formats & Standards website. If you have any questions about the exam (about the logistics of completing the exam or if you need clarification on one or more of the items), you must contact the professor via email. You MAY NOT consult another person about exam content (such as other students, librarians, etc.) nor may you post questions about the exam in the Canvas discussion forum or outside email or discussion lists. Any postings made about the exam in the discussion forum for the duration of the exam period will be deleted.

Complete the Final Exam within this Word document. Put your name after "Your Name" at the top of the first page and change the file name of this document to: YourLastName_FinalExam.doc (e.g., Snow_FinalExam.doc). The file extension can be either .doc or .docx.

Upload the completed document to the Final Exam assignment area within Canvas by 11:55pm CST on the due date noted within the Weekly Schedule. Please do not wait until the last minute to upload your exam.

If you have any technical difficulties that prevent you from uploading your completed document to Canvas, email the document to the professor's outside email address (which can be found in the course Syllabus). It will not be counted as late as long as the exam is received in the professor's inbox by 11:55pm CST the day it is due.


Part 1Answer the following questions within this exam. With the exception of question 3, each answer should be around 200-300 words (if you are a little above or a little below that amount, that's fine). I expect an answer of around 300-400 words for question #3. Cite your sources if you directly quote or paraphrase a source. Use in-text citations and list your sources at the end of your answer.

1) Review Charles Cutter's Objects and Means for a library catalog. Now consider RDA as a manual for achieving those objectives. Identify two specific RDA rules (meaning: include the RDA rule number) that help make Cutter's objectives an achievable reality. Briefly discuss your choices and how each will make Cutter happy.

The two RDA Rules I have chosen to relate to Cutter’s Objects and Means are 7.7.1 (Basic Instructions on Recording the Intended Audience) and 9.1.2 (Using Access Points to Represent Persons).

First, RDA Rule 7.7.1, along with its three sub-points, fulfill Cutter’s desire to show what a library has in regards to the kind of literature (F) as well as its character (H). By clearly providing the intended audience, users (and especially parents) will be able to easily identify if the resources are appropriate for their specific demographic and current need, in relation to their age, educational level, or disability.

Second, RDA Rule 9.1.2 would also make Cutter happy if he were alive today. Having an authorized access point that will consistently bring up a person’s associated works, regardless of how many times he/she may have changed his/her name (P. Diddy comes to mind here), would perfectly meet Cutter’s desire for a patron to be able to find an item when a version of the creator’s name is known. In this way, Objects A and F would be fulfilled.

Given that RDA and FRBR are intrinsically linked and FRBR’s four main User Tasks echo Cutter’s Objects and Means, it makes sense that the RDA Rules would please Cutter on a variety of levels.

Cutter, C. A. (1904). “Objects and Means.” Rules for a Printed Dictionary Catalog, 4th ed. Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office.

RDA Toolkit

2) Choose one item from your personal collection or your local library (do not choose an item that has been used as a FRBR example in this course). Think about the item as it relates to the FRBR Group 1 Entities (Work, Expression, Manifestation, and Item). Discuss attributes of your item at the Work, Expression, Manifestation, and Item level. Describe how the library user will benefit from describing the item in this way within a library catalog.

I have chosen to FRBRize my copy of In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez. Below are the details for WEMI:


Work: In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia AlvarezExpression: Author’s original text written in EnglishManifestation: Plume Printing, 1995, paperbackItem: My personal copy off my bookshelf

This example shows how FRBR’s funnel-like framework helps describe the creation of an item from the general idea of an abstract work (In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez) through the most detailed item that a user can hold in his/her hand (my personal copy off my bookshelf).

By describing an item in this way, library users will receive a variety of benefits, the most important being that their searches will become easier. As Tillet pointed out, by cataloging resources through the utilization of FRBR, the catalog will more effectively group related items together, thereby making it easier to link related works as well as newly published manifestations of pre-existing works and expressions (Snow 7). Additionally, FRBR will help create more effective bibliographic data for online usage, as it clearly identifies the pieces necessary for this environment (8).

Finally, when looking back in history, one can see how the concerns voiced by earlier library professionals are being considered by FRBR. Antonio Panizzi’s work at the British Museum, along with his 91 Rules, relates to this topic, as his concern with users being able to know about different editions and translations, in addition to the practical task of being able to locate the item in the library, all connect to the goals of FRBR (Denton 39). This framework also adapts the principles of Charles Ammi Cutter’s “Objects and Means.” FRBR takes Cutter’s rules, especially the concepts of find, show, and assist, and makes them more broad and inclusive and gives users more freedom in their search (41).

3) You just graduated from library school and you were fortunate to be hired as a cataloging librarian at your neighborhood library - the Bliss Public Library. Your immediate supervisor thinks you have done a great job so far, but there have been major rumblings about lack of funding from the Library Board. Your job is on the line, due in large part to the Board's continuing conviction that cataloging just isn't worth it. In a rare moment of mercy, the Board has given you a chance to talk to them directly. You have the opportunity to convince them that the work of the cataloger is critical to the success of the library.

In the space below, discuss your presentation to the Board. Choose two things you feel make the best case for the role of cataloging. Reflect upon the work you have done this semester and consider everything we discussed. When choosing your points to argue, keep in mind the benefits for the


catalog user. Support your case with specific examples and cite at least two of the readings (articles and/or textbooks) in your answer.

As some of you may know, I am fluent in Spanish and was hired to specifically help with cataloging the Spanish-language resources. Given that 85% of our patron base is composed of Spanish-speakers, my work ensures that many of our community members’ needs are met, as they are able to more easily and efficiently access our available resources in their native language. In an OCLC study, library respondents indicated that more priority should be placed on records for non-English materials, and given our community demographics, this point is valid (30). In that same survey, users also indicated that more summaries, tables of contents, and cover art would help them in their searches (17). My Spanish fluency has helped me search for and acquire many of these features for our catalog entries, ensuring that the records for each item are accurate and complete for our patrons.

I have also added subject headings in Spanish so that the bilingual librarians are more easily able to find groupings of items. This type of organization was sorely lacking before I tackled this large project, and it is paying off. Last week, a reference librarian emailed me to say that she had helped a student locate the most relevant books on El dia de los muertos (Day of the Dead) by using the subject search as opposed to the Google-like quick search mechanism that she typically employs. The subject search immediately broke the items down by format and audience and allowed her to efficiently find the relevant sources, instead of losing time playing with keywords that may not have been utilized by the system. By putting in accurate subject headings, I have made it easier for the reference librarians to effectively serve our patrons.

In this way, my work also supports the arguments made by Thomas Mann. One of the advantages of using subject searches is that this controlled vocabulary yields results that would not otherwise have been found with just using keywords, and the items are usually substantially, and not merely peripherally, about the topic at hand (7). This type of searching will also more easily and effectively help users see “the whole elephant” and not just bits and pieces of a topic (6). Overall, my cataloging efforts, especially with the Spanish-language resources, help serve our community, and the library would suffer a loss if this work is not continued.

Part 2

In this section, you must provide a bibliographic record for each of the items represented here. Use the information provided for you to create your records. You will be provided with a title page, title page verso, cover, and/or a table of contents, as well as further information about each item (such as page numbers and dimensions). Assume that each item below is an actual book, written by actual people. Make sure you find the preferred forms of names, series titles, and subject headings. Use the templates (variable and fixed field) provided to transcribe your answers. Use MARC coding for all answers!

You will not need to use every field for every record. Leave the MARC field blank if you do not use it. You do not need to delete it. Please feel free to add fields as needed (e.g., add an additional 246 for multiple variant title fields.) In MARC field codes, replace the x's in with the appropriate MARC field code (e.g., change 5xx to 504 for a note on the inclusion of a bibliography). The underscores ( _ ) represent the first (1st) and second (2nd) indicators. Replace the underscore with the appropriate indicator value where needed.

Please transcribe your answers using blue font.
