We agreed to the following changes at our Nov. 15, 2011 meeting.
Headings, etc.
- Catalogers will continue to trace:
- provenance (with the exception of the Folgers),
- editors,
- translators,
- single illustrators / artists
- form / genre headings
- Interns (rather than catalogers) will provide the following tracings, working on the basis of descriptive cataloging and notes:
- Booktrade
- Illustration (with the exception of the "rule of one and one", which will continue to be handled by catalogers)
- Place names (752s)
- Global changes will provide the following headings: Folger ownership notes and headings
- 856 links will no longer be provided by anyone
Notes.
- Catalogers will continue to make provenance-related notes, and notes describing extensive annotations
- Catalogers will no longer construct fingerprint notes
- Catalogers will now apply a "rule of 3" to transcribing multiple booksellers listed on wrappers, with the first three names transcribed and an additional statement "and [X] additional booksellers."
Reporting.
- Catalogers will no longer submit reports about Folger holdings to ESTC, with two exceptions: corrections, and new items not previously known by ESTC.
