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 (and others associated with the text mentioned on the t.p., such as the writer of a forward or biographical notes),
- translators,
- single illustrators / artists: a "rule of one and one"
- form / genre headings
- Interns (rather than catalogers) will provide the following tracings, working on the basis of descriptive cataloging and notes:
- Book trade
- 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, and former owner heading for Henry N. Paul
- 856 links will no longer be routinely provided by anyone
Notes.
- Catalogers will continue to make provenance-related notes (with the exception of the Folgers)
- Catalogers will continue to make notes on illustration
- Catalogers will continue to make notes describing annotations, and other copy-specific information
- 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:
- Catalogers will continue to report corrections to ESTC
- Catalogers will continue to report new items not previously represented in ESTC.
Intern procedures:
- Tracings that don't appear in http://authorities.loc.gov/webvoy.htm:
- Don't trace. Instead, update the xls file here: L:\ShakespeareCollectionProject\Notes on Tracings - 20111130.xlsx
- Book trade tracings and relator terms:
- Trace everyone (no rule of three). These tracings should appear before any copy-specific tracings (i.e., above "former owner" etc tracings)
- Copy and paste names from NAF 1XX field instead of rekeying (but note that you'll need to replace the subfield codes)
- Consult relator term list here: http://bard.folger.edu/cgi-bin/view.pl/Main/CentralLibrary/RelatorTerms. But there's a finite number of relator terms you'll end up using.
- 260$b will typically require "publisher" (post-1830) or "bookseller (pre-1830) imprints.
- 260$f will typically require "printer."
- Art tracings and relator terms:
- 752s:
- Search Hamnet for authorized version of the place name. Use the "Staff hierarchical place name" under "Builder" search. Or this list might be enough:
- 752 ǂa Great Britain ǂb England ǂd London.
- 752 ǂa Great Britain ǂb Scotland ǂd Edinburgh.
- 752 ǂa Ireland ǂd Dublin.
- 752 ǂa United States ǂb Massachusetts ǂd Boston.
- 752 ǂa United States ǂb New York (State) ǂd New York.
- 752 ǂa Netherlands ǂd Hague.
- 752 ǂa France ǂd Paris.
- Note that current practice is to include the country / "empire" name in the $a; i.e. ‡a Great Britain ‡b England ‡d London.
- Copy and paste rather than rekeying.
- Scrub $2 fields
- Add "; rev [your initials] [today's date yyyymmdd]" to the record in 852 $x; e.g.: ‡x EGB 20111117; rev JCK 20111130
