Min_Wang_MARC21_Record (1.1)

Due 6/1/2014

MARC21 record standard is an appropriate use for library staff.

It took me five days to complete this Bibliography MARC 21 Record Creation Assignment. It was very frustrating, exciting, and
satisfying experience.
First step was a theoretical preparation in which I read all materials and instructions, Ms. Faith provided to us in week 2 and part of
the week 3.I also used the OCLC Support & Training [http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en.html] website for additional information
needed to help me understand my task for this assignment. In addition, I used the OCLC Connexion, cataloging, for cataloging
examples such as searching keywords, biography Jobs Steve, looking at some MARC records for monographs for general ideas. For
instance, the Fixed-Field Elements and 006 [http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield.html] was instrumental to learn the rules
about how to assign the coded field. Using the guidelines and provided example Job Steve biography, I was able to determine the
appropriate codes for the MARC record creation assignment About you. For example:

For Srce code, I chose code d because except for those at authorized national bibliographic agencies, enter c when creating records as
part of those programs. In all other cases OCLC users enter d (Srce: Cataloging Source). I noticed Field 040 has a logical
relationship to the fixed-field element Srce. If you are transcribing LC cataloging copy, you must manually enter DLC in field 040
subfield $a (Srce: Cataloging Source) If you are inputting original cataloging on a workform or new record, enter blank, c, or d in
Srce. The system supplies your OCLC symbol in field 040 subfield $a (040 Cataloging Source (NR)), such as $a CUG $b $c CUG.
In the practical process, I had questions and frustration throughout the whole practical process. I have failed five times before
eventually taking screenshots images of my creations of the Bib MARC21. The sessions expired as I attempted to find proper sources
for the fields/indicators/subfields as the OCLC Connexion timeout. After I exchanged several emails with Ms. Faith, she resolved
some of my questions. I ultimately created a draft MARC records first, then transcribed to the OCLC Connexion.
Throughout this process, knowing I could use copied samples or ask experience catalogers by posting questions on AUTOCAT, I was
determined to learn and do original cataloging on my own, and used my frustration and questions as learning opportunities to find
solutions to this assignment. I utilized the OCLC Support and Training website as a tool for self-training. From this exercise, Ive
learned: to locate a better matching record quickly, I will look at whether the ELvl code is blank or i or l (all for full level
records); to assign a subject, I will look at whether LitF code is 0 (for nonfiction) or 1 (for fiction) or f (novel), whether Biog code is
blank (for no biography) indicating that other codes are biography. From this experience, I learned how to assign some indicators like
the indicator 1 to 1 for tracing index in these fields 245, 245, and 490 etc. The indicator 2 for filling in these fields: 830, 240, 245, and

440 etc... I summarized the following undefined indicator fields: 000, 008, 001, 003, 010, 020, 040, 042, 250, 260, 300, 336, 337,
338, 347, 352, 500, and 546 etc It was a very satisfying experience, learning how to create an original MARC21 record myself. I
believe this class will provide me an understanding necessary to become a cataloger who can do both original and copy cataloging.

Min_Wang_Converted RDA Record (1.2)

Due 6/8/2014

RDA record standard is an appropriate use for library staff.

As I prepared to create the RDA record, I spent days to extensively explore RDA 0.6, 1.3, 2.3-2.15; 3.2-3.4 Core Elements general
guidelines, for a better understanding and insight into this assignment. I understand when recording data identifying and describing a
manifestation or item, we need to include as a minimum all of the following core elements that are required for all records as
appropriate.

Then I refreshed some MARC21 bibliographic record, for example, the field 600 indicator 2nd 4 is for Source not specified; field
650 indicator 2nd 7 is for Source is specified in subfield $2; Field 856 Electronic Location and Access1st indicator Access
method4 is for HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), 2nd indicator Relationship 0 is for Resource, 2 for Related resource, and
subfields $3 is for Materials specified.
In addition, I reviewed the features of RDA Records in OCLC MARC Coding: 040 $e = rda; Leader/18 = I; 264 instead of 260;
336/337/338; Spelled-out descriptions (e.g., volumes, edition, illustrations).
Finally, I was ready to create my RDA records. I changed Des code a to i; 040 field from CUG $b $c CUG to DLC $eng $e
rda $c DLC. In field 264, 264 #1 $a [Place of publication not identified] : $b [Publisher not identified] , $c 2014. I changed it to: 264
#1$a [Pittsbrugh] : $b [Christopher Ondrey], $c 2014. It is because RDA 2.17.7.3, Details Relating to Publication Statement
instructs us to Make notes on details relating to place of publication, publisher, or date of publication not recorded in the publication
statement element, if considered important for identification or access. Also I finished, I searched the relative rules in the publication
area from the RDA Toolkit, I realized that I could have done better if I had a chance to do this again. I need add a note immediately
following the field 264 Place of publication resource based on the content in hand, About you, Where are you located? The author
answered Pittsburgh. Also I should have entered the Publisher name as the name of the author because Consider all online
resources to be published (by author.) (RDA 2.8.1.1). According the publication statement: $a place: The city as well as the larger
jurisdiction: 264 _1 [Pittsburgh, PA] : $b [Christopher Ondrey], $c [2014] if a probable place of publication can be gathered form a

source outside of the resource itself, or if a place of distribution or manufacture is available, that place may be recorded and enclosed
in square brackets. To support the user tasks, offering a probable place is better than recording Place of publication not identified.
If the publisher is not found on a resource and a probable name cannot be identified form other sources, the phrase publisher not
identified is supplied in square brackets. Then the distributors name or manufacturers name are transcribed in $b 264 2 (distributor)
or 264 3 (manufacturer).
At the meantime, I read The RDA Workbook. It allowed me to understand the workflow of creation of MARC records. I noticed
there are two version of my records, I added two types: 336 computer program $b cop $2 rdacontent; 337 computer $b c $2 rdamedia
338 online resource $b cr $2 rdacarrier. Also I understood creation the authority records, I added the Personal Name Authority
Record: 400 $aVariant name. 670 $a the source on the access point; 046 $f birth date $g death date; $k-Beginning or single date
created, $l-Ending date created; 370 $a place of birth, $b place of death, $c country, $e family live, $f other place; 377-language $a
eng; 372-Field of activity; 374-professions or occupations; 378-fuller form of name; 375-Gender; I understood: all work and
expression authority records include MARC fields 010, 040 and 670. Work and expression authority records include title or
author/title authorized access points. Title are given in MARC field 100 and 130 $t-Title of a work, Selections are listed in $k-Form
subheading; $l-Language of a work. e.g. 100 1# $a Twain, Mark, $d 1835-1910. $t Works. $k Selections. $l English.
I believe, day by day, I am improving my cataloging skills as I gain more knowledge and experience cataloging. However, some
fields, I dont have the confidence as others. I dont know how to classify some records using LCSH. I still have some unresolved
7

questions. I am dedicated to development of my cataloging skills and knowledge, but also at times, I think this will be a lifetime
endeavor.

Min_Wang_LCSH/DDC_Classification_and_Authority (1.3)

Due 6/15/2014

LCSH/DDC classification and authority standard is an appropriate use for library staff and patrons.
Reflection A LCC: 050 Z1003.93.O53 A3 2014
The autobiography of Ondrey, Christopher About you published in 2014. First, I chose the subject class Z, which indicates
bibliography, library science, information resources. The subclass Z1003.93 is within the range Z1003.8-Z1004, which is assigned
for Biography of bibliographers. O53 first Cutter number for Ondrey, According the cutter table, For the letter that follows the
initial letter of the author's surname (vowel, consonant, etc.) n, the number 5 is that which should be used for the second letter n of
Ondrey, Christopher. The number 3 should be used for the third letter d follows the initial letter of the authors surname. A3, Second
Cutter number is for autobiography according to the biography Table (Chan 400). 2014 is the publish date. It might help in
classification 6xx field, the subject field. Also, it is related to title and creator. All this meshes with RDA creator access point and
added access point.
Reflection B DDC: 082

020.9 On19a

The Dewey Decimal Classification and Library of Congress Classification are classifications by discipline. The division of main
classes and subclasses is based on academic disciplines, or fields of study, rather than on subject, then by subject with various levels
10

of subject subdivisions, then by geographic and/or period specification, and then by form of presentation. First, I found DDC class
020 for library and information sciences classification by discipline (Chan 327). From OCLC WebDewey, 020.9 are for biography
of librarianship.
I used the OCLC online Cutter Tables to get the full call number. The call number has two parts: the classification number 020.9 and
the cutter number On19 plus the workmark a. The workmark is taken from the first important work of the title: About you, and it
makes the call number unique. Although this is usually used only if the author has any other works, we always assume the author
does, even if there are none on record, because if that author does publish again, and we didn't use the unique identifier, then we would
have to reclassify (Faith, Ashleigh). I assigned a cutter number, based on the main entry. Main entry means the main access point used
to access the resource. In this example, the main entry is the author. The cutter number starts with the letter O from the authors last
name, Ondrey. 19 are obtained from the cutter table for Ondrey, Christopher. When I cuttered for the main entry, it is related to the
MARC fields: Main entry=1xx field (author), if there is no author, main entry=245 field (title). It might help in classification 6xx
field, the subject field. Also, it is related to title and author. All this meshes with RDA creator access point and added access point.
C: LSCH assignment and methods used
1.

I decided by reading notes in 5xx to obtain the general information about what it is about, to identify key word(s), phrase,

synonyms terms, or alternative terms, and to search the LCSH web.

2.

I decided not to use subdivisions because it appeared to me it was not necessary.

11

3.

I elected to use the LCSH Concept Type (topic), because this appeared to be the most logical, and for LCSH uniformity.

4.

I did not treat the materials as special materials because I do not believe they fall under the special material categorization,

such as, maps (cartographic materials), manuscript, printed music (scores), recorded sound, films, graphic materials, or 3-D artifacts.

Reflection on DCMI
After I read the chapter 4 from the book of Chan (2007), I mapped the corresponding MARC fields of the RDA records I created in
Assignment 3 to the fifteen elements of Dublin Core:
DC element

MARC21

In the process of generating my DCMI records, first, I omitted the articles in titles The, A, An, Le, La, Les, Der, Die, Das and so on
because they can present problems for searching, indexing, and sorting. Second, I noticed identifier includes a wide variety of types
of standard identifiers, such as the standard identifier and international standard numbers, ISBN, ISMN, UPS, Music Publisher
Number, local accession number, digital file name, and Uniform Resource identifiers (URL). Third, dates include created date, valid

46

date, available date, issued date, and modified date. Also I used the encoding scheme best practice recommended such as the
W3CDTF profile of ISO 8601: YYYY-MM-DD.
The Format element for the description of the carrier and medium is recorded in MARC21 300 field physical description. It
usually contains free, uncontrolled text, when using DC Format to designate the digital file type, a controlled vocabulary is normally
used, such as Digital file Format: IMT; Original Physical Format: Medium; Extent (size and duration).
Type is one of the most important ways by which users refine their searches to particular types of content. It is the Leader character
Position 06 (the type fixed field element in OCLC); utilization of controlled vocabulary per recommended best practice. The
controlled vocabulary consists of 12 terms: Collection, Dataset, Event, Image, Interactive Resource, Moving Image, Physical Object,
Service, Software, Sound, Still Image, and Text, e.g. in my RDA/MARC21 records, one of the 336 $a is computer program, and I
changed it to the controlled term software in the DCMI creation.
The assignment helps me better understand the function of the core elements of a bibliography records. It gives me a greater
appreciation of the catalogers responsibility to attribute, organize, and describe resources to enable patrons to find, identify, select,
obtain, navigate, and retrieve the desired information in the most intuitive manner.
