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.
