Cataloging Department Manual

The Cataloging Department supports the teaching, research, and service missions of Frazar Memorial Library and McNeese State University by providing bibliographic access to the collections housed in the main stacks, Reference, Curriculum Materials Center, Farrar Hall, Government Documents, Specials Collections and Archives, and the Performing Arts Library, Shearman Fine Arts Hall. To accomplish this goal, the Department strives to:

Create, organize and maintain accurate and comprehensive bibliographic data for all Library materials.

Follow recognized national and international standards for cataloging.

Remain current in bibliographic and technological advances.

Insure maintenance of quality through continuing education and training.

Insure efficiency by examining existing procedure and possessing a willingness to institute new procedures and technology when appropriate.

Create and maintain a harmonious atmosphere with other Library Departments and the University.

AUTHORITY FILE

When searching Authority File via Connexion, 100 field always acceptable ; 400 field not used.

RETURN TO TOP

AUTHORITY WORK

The head cataloger gives the Assistant Catalog Librarian a report from MARCIVE. The first page has a list of deleted authority headings. These headings are actually in a suppressed status in WorkFlows. Look these authority records up in WorkFlows by ID number. Then look up the headings in Cataloging WorkFlows to see if there are any bib records associated with them.

If there are no bib records, delete the authority record.

If there are bib records, find the valid form and change the heading in the bib record.

The Validate Headings helper may find some of them in the authority file. If not, check the LC Authority File using SmartPORT or check the authority file on OCLC. Import a new authority record if found.

If no new authority record is found, you may create one in WorkFlows. Start by using the Validate Headings Helper with the bib record and then the Propose Authority button. Then delete the suppressed outdated authority record.

For the rest of the report, check to make sure the REVISED/CHANGED authority records caused a heading change in the corresponding bib records. If not, make the change using the Validate Headings Helper in WorkFlows. Ignore the other authority records on the MARCIVE report.

BOOKS FOR ARCHIVES

BOOKS, GENERAL PROCEDURES

Search WorkFlows for an order record.

If the order record is a complete bib record from LC, examine it and edit if necessary.

Click OK.

Go to the Telephone Wizard and click OK to create the copy.

If there is an XX call number showing here, go to the Modify Item Wizard, Vol. Copy screen and type in the LC call number. Change the class scheme to LC.

Change the date cataloged to Today. Can do this under the Control tab.

If the order record is not a LC bib record, look for one in the LC MARC database or OCLC. Find the best bib record available. Check all the headings and the call number before using SmartPORT to bring in the record.

When SmartPORTing, use the replace option.

After the bib record is in WorkFlows, edit as necessary, then hit OK. Then use the Telephone Wizard to create the copy.

Change the date cataloged to Today.

For multi-volume sets, create a MARC holding record.

The 852 |c should be the same as the home location.
e.g. REF, STAX, SPEC
866 41 v. 1-4

If no bib record can be found in LC MARC or OCLC, do original cataloging in OCLC and then use SmartPORT to import the record into WorkFlows. Remember to use the Replace option to overlay the order record. Then proceed as usual.

BOOKS ACCOMPANIED BY AUDIOVISUAL MATERIAL

Catalog as a book with the AV described in subfield of the 300 field.

The AV item will be shelved separately at Circulation.

The Cataloging Department has cases for computer disks and DVDs.

The library assistant has proper containers for videocassettes and floppy disks.

The AV item is treated as a separate volume with its own call number.

Use the Add Volume and Call Numbers wizard to add a call number for the item. Use the type, home location, and label that goes with that category of media.

The library assistant in cataloging will place a sticker on the book indicating the AV tem is at Circulation.

JUVENILE FICTION AND NON-FICTION

Catalog and processed by the Library Specialist II with assistance from professional catalogers as needed for special situations and original cataloging.

Process like all other books with the following exceptions:
Classification scheme = Dewey Decimal latest full edition
Easy books= E plus the first three letters of the author’s last name.

For items using an actual number from the Dewey schedules, use the base numbers assigned by LC going up to the second dividing point.

On scores with parts, make additional labels for the parts such that a call number label can be placed on each part. Also place scores with parts in some sort of envelope such that the conductor’s score and parts can be kept together as a unit. Use the acid free envelopes available from the archives department or standardized clasp envelopes.

Place a pocket and card with each item so they can be manually circulated except the items placed in the MUSCNC location. These are items such as the Grove’s musical dictionary that is not to be circulated. Other items will be designated as needed by the staff of the Performing Arts Library.

Labels for compact discs (music CDs):
Compact
Disc
945

When processing the music CDS place the call number label at the left hand corner of the bottom of the case. Also use clear plastic pressure-sensitive pockets. Place a pocket and card on each CD so they can be manually circulated by the Performing Arts Library. The extra card/pocket label that is generated from the label program, DO NOT place it on the clear pocket since that will cover essential information about the disc. Place it on the front of the case such that it does not cover essential information about the title.

UNCLASSIFIED PERIODICALS

Receive the Serials Alert File once a week. Look through it for new titles, title changes, withdrawn titles, and changes in holdings.

For new titles, look for cataloging copy on OCLC or LC MARC.

Use SmartPORT to import the appropriate record if found. Check all headings for non-DLC copy. If an appropriate record is not found, create a record in OCLC and import it using SmartPORT.

Once the record is in the catalog, create a copy. Change the call number to “Shelved by Title.” The class scheme is Alphanum. The type is “Serial” for print serials. The type is “Microfilm” or “Microfiche” for those formats. The home location is “Ser” for all three. All three are marked “do not circulate.”

Create a MARC holding statement:
852 |cSER
41 v. 1 (1990)-

If some or all the holdings are on film or fiche, indicate as follows:

41 v. 1 (1990)- |zon microfilm
or ...
41 v. 1-5 (1990-1994) |zon microfilm
866 41 v. 6 (1995)- |zon paper

For changes in holdings, edit the MARC holding statement.

For title changes, edit the bib record according to OCLC standards to show the title is dead and the MARC holding statement of the old title to close it off. Add a 785 field to trace the new title. Find or create a bib record for the new title and process like a new title, but make sure there is a 780 field to trace the old title.

To withdraw an unclassified periodical:
Delete the MARC holding record.
Delete all volumes except the last.
Change the barcode on the last to an auto-generated item record.
Change the home location to Withdrawn.
The call number should indicate Shelved by Title without any volume or numerical addition. Cancel the holdings on OCLC.

Barcoding unclassified periodicals:
The library assistant in cataloging barcodes the print periodicals.
An assistant catalog librarian barcodes the microfilm and microfiche periodicals.
For the first barcode, go to Modify Title in WorkFlows.
Add a volume and/or date designation to the Shelved by Title call number.
Change the auto-generated barcode number to the actual number on the barcodes which are placed on the piece.
For the next volumes, go to the Add Volume Wizard in WorkFlows and use the Add Call Number icon.
