This document provides an overview of cataloging and descriptive bibliographic practices according to the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd Edition (AACR2). It discusses the seven areas that make up a bibliographic description: title and statement of responsibility, edition, material specific details, publication, physical description, series, and notes. Each area is explained in detail, with examples provided of how information would be recorded and organized according to AACR2 standards.
This document provides guidelines for transcribing titles, statements of responsibility, and other elements from the chief source of information for catalog records. Key points include:
- Transcribe titles exactly as they appear on the chief source, omitting unnecessary punctuation. Supply translations for titles in other languages.
- Indicate general material designations, parallel titles, and other title information in a standardized way.
- Transcribe statements of responsibility prominently displayed on the item. Supply responsibility statements from other sources in brackets.
- Follow specific rules for abbreviating, punctuating, and formatting titles and related elements to ensure consistency across records.

MARC (MAchine-Readable Cataloging) is a data format that emerged from a Library of Congress initiative to allow computers to exchange, use, and interpret bibliographic information. It provides the mechanism by which most library catalogs are built today. A MARC record uses tags, indicators, and subfields to organize bibliographic data in a structured format that computers can process. Common fields include title (245), author (100), subject headings (650), and notes (500). The Network Development and MARC Standards Office at the Library of Congress maintains and develops the MARC standards.
MARC (MAchine-Readable Cataloging) is a data format that emerged from a Library of Congress initiative to enable computers to exchange, use, and interpret bibliographic information. It defines the elements in most library catalogs. A MARC record uses tags and indicators to provide a guide for computers to interpret bibliographic data like author, title, subject headings. Fields can be fixed, containing codes for attributes, or variable, containing descriptive data. Examples show how tags like 245 for title and 100 for author main entry are structured in a MARC record.

Education is generally defined as the process of learning and acquiring information. It can take place both through formal schooling and informal life experiences. Martin Luther King Jr. believed that true education should enable one to discern truth from falsehood and develop both intelligence and strong moral character. The document explores different definitions and perspectives on the meaning of education through various online sources.
This document discusses different types of information sources and how to evaluate them. It defines reference sources as publications that provide authoritative information, including reference books, indexes, and databases. Reference books are designed to be consulted for specific information needs rather than read cover to cover, and include genres like dictionaries, directories, and encyclopedias. When evaluating information sources, criteria like the author's authority, purpose, objectivity, currency, and relevance should be considered. Primary sources contain original material while secondary sources analyze and comment on primary sources.

School libraries under threat: How to ensure survival?Johan Koren
This document discusses the threat faced by school libraries due to budget cuts by principals and superintendents looking to save money. It is suggested that school library positions and librarians are often among the first to be cut. Several examples are given of states and school districts that have cut or are threatening to cut school librarian positions. The document then discusses strategies for school librarians to ensure the survival of school libraries, including building support among stakeholders before a crisis, using research evidence to demonstrate the impact of school libraries, and engaging in action research projects to assess the effectiveness of library programs.
Looks at different inquiry process models, including Kuhlthau's Information Search Process and Guided Inquiry derived from it, Big 6 Skills, plus a number of others.
This document provides an overview of various inquiry and information process models that can be used to guide student research. It describes models such as the Big6, Carol Kuhlthau's Information Search Process, and the Savvy Seven Research Model. Each model breaks the research process down into steps or stages to help students comprehend the task and strategies needed. The document emphasizes that the models are flexible and iterative - students may need to move back and forth between steps as new questions or understandings emerge during research. An effective model provides a common language and scaffolding for students while allowing for recursion as understanding develops.
School Libraries under Threat: How to Ensure Survivalk?Johan Koren
School libraries are under threat of budget cuts as principals and superintendents look for ways to save money. This can result in the elimination of school library positions, which have often been among the first to be cut. The document discusses strategies for ensuring the survival of school libraries, including presenting evidence from research about the impact of school libraries on student achievement, outcomes, and skills. It recommends that school librarians build support for their programs, collect data through action research, and share the findings to make an evidence-based case for the value of school libraries.
What are School Libraries and School Librarians?Johan Koren
Looks at definitions and roles of the school library and the school librarian and follows the development of standards and guidelines for school libraries from 1845-2009. Considers also the radical new definition set out by R. David Lankes.
Teen Tech Week 2015: A Public Library Thing?Johan Koren
Teen Tech Week is a national initiative sponsored by YALSA that aims to ensure teens are competent and ethical users of digital media through libraries. It focuses on resources like e-books, databases, and social media. The related Teen Read Week also encourages teen reading and library use. Studies show teens lack skills to evaluate online information. Libraries help teens build skills like research and online profile management. Some schools implement "Bring Your Own Device" policies to utilize students' technology. Partnerships for Teen Tech Week can include families, community groups, and schools working with public libraries. Makerspaces in libraries allow creation using tools like 3D printers and electronics, helping develop skills needed in today's economy.
What are Educational Standards . . . and what do they have to do with 21st ce...Johan Koren
Educational standards help teachers ensure students have the necessary skills and knowledge to be successful by providing clear goals for learning. Standards provide a roadmap for teachers, parents, and students by setting expectations without dictating how teachers should teach. They highlight the knowledge and abilities students should master. Kentucky has adopted standards for core subjects as well as for teachers and technology to prepare students with 21st century skills like critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. These skills are advocated for by organizations like the Partnership for 21st Century Skills to help students succeed in a global, digital world.
21st century skills refer to a broad set of knowledge, skills, work habits, and character traits that are believed to be critically important to success in today's world, particularly in collegiate programs and contemporary careers and workplaces. These skills include critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. The document provided several links to additional resources defining and explaining 21st century skills.
The Gift of Libraries and Librarians: Learing in the CurriculumJohan Koren
This document discusses the many contributions that school libraries and librarians provide to learning. It notes that school libraries should serve as learning commons that focus on client-centered programs and advance best practices in pedagogy. School librarians help students develop digital citizenship skills, make connections between students and teachers, and provide leadership, even if misunderstood. Overall, the document argues that school libraries and librarians give students opportunities to learn and grow, and provide a crucial edge for college and career readiness.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

1. LIB 630 Classification and CatalogingSpring 2010 Overview of cataloging First element:Descriptive cataloging (use of AACR2R)
2. Tell me why we’re doing this, again? “. . . to describe and identify all types of material which are likely to appear in library collections, . . .” ISBD(G): General International Standard Bibliographic Description
3. What was Cataloging, again? cataloging The process of creating entries for a catalog. In libraries, this usually includes bibliographic description, subject analysis, assignment of classificationnotation, and activities involved in physically preparing the item for the shelf, tasks usually performed under the supervision of a librarian trained as a cataloger. British spelling is cataloguing. Online Dictionary of Library and Information Science, ODLIS
4. Elements of cataloging From ODLIS definition: bibliographic description subject analysis(deciding what the item is basically about, and assigning subject headings) assignment of classificationnotation(which is essentially what classification is) activities involved in physically preparing the item for the shelf
5. Our focus: Bibliographic description: A set of bibliographic data recording and identifying a publication, excluding access points, i.e., the description that begins with the title proper and ends with the last note in the note area. Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Books, 2nd Edition
6. So, what is bibliographic description? Bibliographic description In librarycataloging, the detailed description of a copy of a specific edition of a work intended to identify and distinguish it from other works by the same author, of the same title, or on the same subject. In AACR2, the bibliographic record representing an item in the catalog includes the following standard areas of description: title and statement of responsibility (author, editor, composer, etc.), edition, material specific details, details of publication and distribution, physical description, series, notes, and standard number and terms of availability (ISBN, ISSN, price). See also: chief source of information and level of description.
7. Elements of bibliographic description Title proper = Parallel title : Other title information [GMD]/ Statement of responsibility ; Other statements of responsibility. – Edition area. – Special area for serials, maps, music. – Publication area. – Physical description. –(Series information). – Notes area. – Standard number. Note the special punctuation (in red). This is the traditional layout for a printed catalog card
8. Sample catalog card This oblique line indicates that what follows is the statement of responsibility (i.e. author statement). Note space before and after!
11. AACR2 Cataloging Areas 1. Title and Statement of Responsibility Area Includes: Title Proper [GMD]= Parallel title ; Other titles / Statements of responsibility 2. Edition Area 3. Special Area for serials, maps, etc, and music 4. Publication, Distribution, etc. Area 5. Physical Distribution Area 6. Series Area 7. Notes Area 8. Standard Number Area
12. Area 1: Title and Statement of Responsibility Area Rules 1A-1G1, pp. 15-25.
13. What are all these words? Title proper (Concise AACR2 Rule 1B) The primary name of a bibliographic item, usually found on the chief source of information, including any alternative title but not parallel titles and other title information. In AACR2, the title proper is entered in the title and statement of responsibilityareaof the bibliographic description(field 245 of the MARCrecord). See also: uniform title. i.e. the main part of a title, e.g. in The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits.Title proper is Hunting of the Snark. See a facsimile of the title pageathttp://etext.lib.virginia.edu/images/modeng/public/CarSnar/CarSnaTi.jpg
14. Next concept? parallel title (Concise AACR2 Rule 1D) The title proper of an edition in a language or script other than that of the original title. In AACR2, parallel titles are entered in the title and statement of responsibilityarea of the bibliographic record (MARCfield 245) in the order found in the chief source of information, separated by an equal sign preceded and followed by a space. The Library of Congress records all parallel titles for items issued in the United States. e.g. Father Goriot = Le Père Goriot / Honoré de Balzac Parallel Title Title Proper Statement of responsibility
15. What else? Other title information (Concise AACR2 Rule 1E) Essentially, the subtitle Includes also alternative title: The second part of a title proper consisting of two parts, each a title in itself, connected by the word "or" or its equivalent in another language (example: The Female Quixote, or, The Adventures of Arabella), not to be confused withalternate title.* Compare with subtitle. *This information goes in the Notes area (see later).
16. When to use General Material Designation[GMD]? When item is something other than a book or serial [text]—see Concise AACR2 Rule 1C (optional!) Commonest: electronic resource (used to be computer file) graphic (previously film strip or slide or transparency) microform motion picture sound recording videorecording cartographic material (i.e. map of some kind) If the item to be cataloged is text, then the GMD is rarely used
17. What about the author area? Statement of responsibility(Concise AACR2 Rule 1F) In AACR2, the portion of the bibliographic description indicating by name the person(s) responsible for creating the intellectual or artistic content of the item (author, editor, compiler, composer, arranger, etc.), the corporate body from which the content emanates, or the person(s) or corporate body responsible for performing the content. In most cases, the statement of responsibility is transcribed from the chief source of information for the item. When more than one kind of responsibility is indicated (multiple statements of responsibility), the names are transcribed in the order in which they appear on the chief source of information.
18. Chief source of information? The source of bibliographic data prescribed by AACR2 as having precedence over all others in the preparation of the bibliographic description of an item, usually the title page or a substitute, for example, the title frame at the beginning of a filmstrip or motion picture, or the title screen of a Web page. [According to Concise AACR2’sRule 0A, the chief source of information for books is the Title Page]
19.
20.
21. Write the statement of responsibility exactly as written on chief source of information, though without qualifications, etc.! The man of the forest / A novel by Zane Grey ; illustrations by Frank Tenney Johnson. Notice that “A novel by . . .” is part of the statement of responsibility. Note also: you leave out the “Author of . . .” part!
24. See AACR2 Rule 0AArea 1 entry: Midnight pleasures / Eloisa James
25. What do we do about pseudonyms and other problems with authors’ names? authority work The process of deciding which form of a name, title, series title, or subject will be used as the authorized heading in a librarycatalog or file of bibliographic records, including the establishment of appropriate references to the heading, and its relationship to other headings in the authority file. Example: Shaw, Bernard, with references from Shaw, G.B. and Shaw, George Bernard.
26. But we still use the exact form of the name as it appears on the title page—the authority control comes in the notes and the subject headings**Older catalogs did use (pseud.) Title and statement of responsibility: The prince and the pauper : a tale for young people of all ages / by Mark Twain. A note (down in the Notes area) might say: Mark Twain is the pseudonym of Samuel Longhorne Clemens. (Although this is so well known, it may not mention his real name at all!)
27. Less well-known pseudonyms might include the real name All grass isn’t green / [by] A.A. Fair (Erle Stanley Gardner) Adapted from Chicago Public Library’s online catalog. If the title page (remember, the chief source of information for a book, Rule 0A, is the title page NOT the cover) said the same as the cover shown, it would have been written as follows: All grass isn’t green / Erle Stanley Gardner writing as A. A. Fair.
28. Or they may not mention it at all ! Example: All Things Considered, February 13, 2005 · By day, Mary Bly is a respectable English professor at New York's Fordham University. But she has a secret -- one might even say romantic -- double life. As Eloisa James, she's the author of best-selling romance novels like Duchess in Love, and Much Ado About You.http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4497605 The two faces of Mary Bly: her workaday style, left; and as she appears on book jackets. eloisajames.com
29. Extract from Library of Congress catalog Type of Material: Text (Book, Microform, Electronic, etc.) Personal Name: James, Eloisa. Main Title: Midnight pleasures / Eloisa James. Published/Created: New York : Delacorte Press, c2000. Description: 360 p. ; 25 cm. ISBN: 0385333617 Genre/Form: Historical fiction. Love stories.

30. Another rule The Iliad of HomerDone into English ProsebyAndrew Lang, M.A.Late Fellow of Merton College, OxfordWalter Leaf, M.A.Late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridgeand Ernest Myers, M.A.Fellow of Wadham College, Oxford If the author’s name is given in the title, the name is not repeated in the statement of responsibility: The Iliad of Homer / Done into English prose by Andrew Lang, Walter Leaf and Ernest Myers. http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=HomIlia.xml&images=images/modeng&data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&tag=public&part=front Rules 1B2 and 1F1
32. Area 2: Edition area Give the edition statement as found, but with standard abbreviations (Rule 2B): New ed. for “new edition” Rev. ed. for “revised edition” Rev. and enl. 9th ed. for “revised and enlarged 9th edition” Any statements of responsibility specific to this particular edition are placed here (you probably wouldn’t use this that much) (Rule 2C1): A dictionary of modern English usage / by H. W. Fowler. – 2nd ed. / revised by Ernest Gowers.
34. Area 3: Special area for serials, maps, music (AKA Material Specific Details) Rules 3A-3C2, pp. 27-30.
35. Area 3: Special area for serials, maps, music Used for serials (i.e. magazines, journals, etc.): Indicates numbering and year, and if the serial has ceased publication. For maps (ONLY if maps are the main content!): To indicate scale and projection (Mercator, etc.). For music (but NOT songbooks!): To indicate the physical presentation (e.g. full score, miniature score, playing score).
38. Area 4: Publication area Place of publication (Rule 4C) As found in original (including multiple places; give these in the order provided) Name of publisher or distributor (4D) In shortest form that can be understood Date of publication or distribution (4E) Give the actual date provided, whether it is correct or not (if wrong, provide correct date in parentheses) Add copyright date if different, putting c before the year—use it, if that’s all that’s given e. g. c1976
39. Example The man between : an international romance / by Amelia E. Barr. -- Du Pre Book Store spec. ed. – New York ; London : The Authors and Newspapers Association, 1906. Note: Leave out the qualifications (“Author of , etc.”) (Rule 1F7) and the bit about “For sale exclusively, etc.” (this information might go in Notes if it’s considered important for your patrons (see Rule 7A1).
40. In our simplified format Note: space ; space between different cities—then space : space for publisher—then no space, date
42. Area 5: Physical description (Rule 5) Includes, where applicable: The extent of the item (no. of volumes, no. of pages, etc) Other physical data (color, type of illustrations, etc.) Physical dimensions (size-generally in cm.) Any accompanying materials (e.g. if there’s a cd that comes with a book, or a booklet with a cd, etc.)
43. Example Edvard Grieg : the man and the artist = Edvard Grieg : mennesketogkunstneren / Finn Benestad ; Dag Schjelderup-Ebbe ; Translated by William H. Halverson and Leland B. Sateren . – Lincoln : University of Nebraska Press, 1988. -- 366 p., [1] leaf : ill., music ; 30 cm. + 1 sound disc (analog, 33 1/3 rpm, stereo. ; 7 in.). A leaf is a page with print on one side only (in this case, there is one, and it is not numbered, thus [1]). [This is partially a fictitious example: the English translation of the Norwegian original did not include the recording]
44. Simplified Again, note that there are spaces before and after the punctuation marks that denote the different sections
46. Area 6: (Series information) What is a Series? According to the glossary of AACR2 a series is: “A group of separate items related to one another by the fact that each item bears, in addition to its own title proper, a collective title applying to the group as a whole.” Series are titles used to group together items with similar characteristics. They might have in common a subject (history of monasteries in France), a format (reprints), a genre (poetry), or merely common publishing characteristics (24 inch guidebooks with yellow covers).
47. Example David Crockett : his life and adventures / by John S. C. Abbott. – New York : Dodd, Mead, 1874. – viii, [7]-350 p. front., plates. 19 cm. – (American Pioneers and Patriots). front.=frontispiece Series title
48. Putting it our way Series titles usually are put in parentheses
49. Putting it in the Library of Congress’s way Notice that LC does not put parentheses around the series Statement—this is common in computer catalogs
52. Area 7: Note area Why notes? Several notes [may be] included in [a] cataloging record, not necessarily to further describe the item physically, but to indicate further details that might be helpful in identifying the item, or information of interest to someone looking for this book. There are two categories of notes, formal and informal. Formal notes are those always done in a particular style, often with punctuation that divides titles or performers or other pieces of information. Informal notes are any notes that the cataloger felt might be useful to include, either for the library staff looking at the record, or for the patron accessing the item. Adapted from Brief Review of Cataloging
53. Commonest uses for notes To indicate that the item includes bibliography, index etc. (Rule 7B14) To provide a summary of the content of a book (especially for children’s books) (Rule 7B13) To provide information about the grade level, reading level, etc. (Rule 7b11)
56. Alternate title in notes alternate title (Rule 7B5) A title found in or on a bibliographic item, that varies from the one given in or on the chief source of information, for example, a title appearing on the label or container of a videocassette that differs from the one given in the videorecording itself. In librarycataloging, any alternate titles are entered in the note area of the bibliographic record. Compare with alternative title.. e.g. 4:50 from Paddington / Agatha ChristieNotes area: “Previously titled What Mrs. McGillicuddy saw!”
59. Area 8: Standard number Rule: “Give the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) or International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) or any other internationally agreed standard number of the bibliographic resource being described. Precede that number with the standards abbreviation ISBN, ISSN, etc.) and use standard hyphenation.” Concise AACR2, 4th ed., Rule 8B1.
