Abstract

As many serials, integrating resources, and cartographic materials are issued in electronic format, the needs of bibliographic agencies and users of bibliographic records are of concern to the IFLA Section on Cataloguing and other Sections that work with these materials. This paper will discuss the background for revisions taking place in the ISBDs, some terminology, the ISBD revision process and current activities, and issues related to electronic aspects of the resources. There are a number of issues in cataloguing continuing resources and cartographic materials that have been raised as a result of the need to describe electronic resources for these types of materials. Some of these issues have been resolved as the new ISBD for Serials and Other Continuing Resources has been developed, while others are still under discussion in drafts of the ISBD for Cartographic Materials.

3. Cataloging Conference Proceedings: a Survey and Comments.

Author

Yee, Martha M and McGarry, Dorothy

Subjects
conference proceedings, corporate authorship, AACR2, user studies, catalog use studies, reference librarians, choice of entry, conference publications
Abstract

The creation of bibliographic records for conference publications is difficult for catalogers and the records are difficult for reference librarians and patrons to use. Those identified by a generic term for a meeting and the name of the corporate body holding the meeting present special problems. This study examines user behavior and preferences when searching for meetings identified by a generic term for meeting and the name of a corporate body holding the meeting. Current cataloging practice is evaluated in light of the findings.

15. ISBD consolidé: un pas en avant.

Author

Rodríguez, Elena Escolano and McGarry, Dorothy

Abstract

Le texte présente la nouvelle version de l'ISBD. Sa nouveauté réside dans son changement de structure qui regroupe en un seul ISBD la description de tous les types de ressources couverts par les ISBD spécialisés. Les directives pour la description de toutes les ressources ont été mises à jour en même temps, afin de mettre la description de tous les types de documents en conformité avec les FRBR. Nous allons donner un court aperçu historique du travail du Groupe de révision de l'ISBD et expliquer pourquoi ce dernier a jugé que cette révision était nécessaire. Puis nous décrirons les procédures suivies dans le travail sur la consolidation et les questions les plus épineuses qui ont été rencontrées, afin que ce qui ne figure pas dans cette première édition apparaisse clairement. Enfin nous expliquerons nos projets pour la réviser et la mettre à jour dans un avenir proche. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

16. ISBD unificada: un paso adelante.

Author

Rodríguez, Elena Escolano and McGarry, Dorothy

Abstract

Esta es una presentación sobre la nueva versión de ISBD. Es nueva porque la estructura ha cambiado, integrando en un única ISBD la descripción de todos los tipos de recursos cubiertos en las ISBDs especializadas. Al mismo tiempo, se han adaptado los requisitos para la descripción de todos los recursos para conseguir que la descripción de todos los materiales esté en el mismo estado de conformidad con FRBR. Tras un breve resumen histórico del trabajo del Grupo de Revisión de las ISBDs y la exposición de razones que llevó al Grupo a considerar necesaria esta revisión, se describen los procedimientos seguidos en el trabajo de unificación y las cuestiones más problemáticas encontradas, de forma que quede claro qué es lo que no se ha incluido en esta primera edición. Finalmente se explica nuestra intención de revisión futura y próxima actualización. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

17. Ein Schritt nach vorn: die Zusammenführung und terminologische Vereinheitlichung der einzelnen ISBD-Ausgaben in der konsolidierten ISBD.

Author

Rodríguez, Elena Escolano and McGarry, Dorothy

Abstract

Im Folgenden wird die neue Ausgabe der International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) vorgestellt. Sie ist neu, weil die Struktur erneuert und die Beschreibungen der verschiedenen Publikationstypen, die bisher über die einzelnen, spezialisierten ISBDs abgedeckt waren, nun zu einer einzigen ISBD zusammengefasst wurden. Gleichzeitig wurden die Beschreibungsanforderungen für alle Ressourcen überholt, um die Beschreibungen aller Materialarten an die Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) anzupassen. Es wird kurz der Hintergrund der Arbeit der ISBD Review Group dargestellt und erörtert, weshalb die Gruppe die Revision der ISBD für notwendig hielt. Eine Beschreibung des Vorgehens bei der Konsolidierungsarbeit und der schwierigeren Sachverhalte, auf die man dabei stieß, schließen sich an, um deutlich zu machen, was in der ersten Ausgabe alles nicht enthalten ist. Zum Schluss werden die Pläne für zukünftige Revisionen dargelegt. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

*INTERNATIONAL Standard Bibliographic Description, *DESCRIPTIVE cataloging, *CATALOGING, *INFORMATION resources, *LIBRARY resources, *FRBR (Conceptual model)
Abstract

This is a presentation on the new version of the ISBD. It is new because the structure has been changed, integrating the description of all types of resources covered in the specialized ISBDs into one ISBD. At the same time, requirements for the description of all resources have been updated to bring the description of all materials to the same state of conformity with FRBR. We shall give a short history of the background of the ISBD Review Group's work and discuss the reasons why the group considered this revision necessary. Then we shall describe the procedures followed in the work on consolidation and the most problematic issues encountered, so it will be clear what is not included in this first edition. Finally we shall explain our intention of further revision and updating in the near future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

22. Objectivity in Evaluating Subject Heading Assignment.

Author

Svenonius, Elaine and McGarry, Dorothy

Abstract

Recent papers have called attention to discrepancies in the assignment of Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). While philosoohical arguments can be made that subject analysis, if not a logical impossibility, at least is point-of-view dependent subject headings continue to be assigned and continue to be useful. The hypothesis advanced in the present project is that to a considerable degree there is a clearcut right and wrong to LCSH subject heading assignment. To test the hypothesis, it was postulated that the assignment of a subject heading is correct if it is supported by textual warrant (at least 20 percent of the book being calaloged is on the topic) and is constructed in accordance with the Library of Congress Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings. A sample of 100 books on scientific subjects was used to test the hypothesis. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The article discusses the significant changes that affect the new edition of the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD). It cites the area 0, which was recommended to replace the General Material Distribution (GMD) for the ISBD. It will present the information at the start of the bibliographic record. Another was the area for older monographic resources. Following the revision of the ISBD, the text was included in the consolidated ISBD to delay the publication of a preliminary consolidated edition that incorporates stipulations for all types of materials covered by the ISBD.
