- | ==== Original Cataloging ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Original cataloging is the creation of a new bibliographic record to represent the work in hand using national standards for bibliographic control. | ||
- | |||
- | Training for original cataloging of monographic resources in OCLC is mandatory for all PINES catalogers except those with recent experience and illustrated proficiency in original cataloging using OCLC software and the WorldCat database. CAT1 copy catalogers wishing to perform original cataloging should arrange for training with the PINES Cataloging Specialist. CAT1 catalogers should have at least six (6) months experience in PINES copy cataloging or a demonstrated competency in copy cataloging, before requesting original cataloging training. | ||
- | |||
- | The PINES Cataloging Specialist reserves the right to confirm or test a copy cataloger’s competency prior to agreeing to original cataloging training. The Cataloging Specialist may require additional experience or training in copy cataloging for catalogers lacking proficiency. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | If a PINES library system without an original cataloger acquires materials needing original cataloging, they should contact the PINES Cataloging Specialist or the PINES and Collaborative Projects Manager for assistance. | ||
- | |||
- | Currently, PINES offers original cataloging training for books, sound recordings, and visual material formats, the three dominant formats of resources throughout PINES member library systems. If a system needs to catalog a resource of any other format, the system’s head cataloger should ask the PINES Cataloging Specialist for additional training and/or assistance. | ||
- | |||
- | After training is completed, the PINES Cataloging Specialist will review original records in OCLC by newly trained original catalogers for quality and accuracy until such time as the cataloger demonstrates proficiency. | ||
- | |||
- | All PINES original catalogers should: | ||
- | * Accurately perform descriptive cataloging according to MARC21, RDA, and PINES standards. | ||
- | * Accurately perform classification analysis to assign Dewey Decimal Classification numbers. | ||
- | * Accurately perform subject analysis to assign Library of Congress Subject Headings and genre form headings. | ||
- | * Accurately and proficiently search the OCLC authority file for authorized forms of subjects and genre headings. | ||
- | * Establish name headings (access points) and search the OCLC authority file to confirm authorized forms of those names for use in the bibliographic record. | ||
