Loeb Classics**This procedure is under review. Parenthetical info. is from handwritten additionsto the printed procedure--mostly in Jeff's handwriting. ** Goals of the Project
Current Situation 1. FSET: Firestone stacks, CAS (remove CAS) FSET and SC are primary locations; FSEP and Clas volumes will be transferred and reclassified to them.
WorkflowCatalog Division Catalog Division staff will convert records, or adjust existing RLIN records, according to establised guidelines. This may involve deleting Card Catalog or RLIN records and merging the information on them onto a composite record that covers all "editions," issues, etc., with the same title and division into volumes. Staff will complete the bibliographic segment of records and a basic holdings segment comprising locations and call numbers. Save records are forwarded to DBMS for completion of holdings and final production. DBMS DBMS staff will retrieve and transfer FSEP or Clas volumes to FSET or SC, in that order of preference. If a volume is already held in both locations, add it as copy 2 (etc.) to FSET. (don't retrieve and transfer FSEP or Clas volumes unless fixing something else)
Shelflist cards are pulled by DBMS, as necessary and the Electronic Card Catalog is cleared as necessary.
Cataloging GuidelinesWork from the main card and the shelflist cards. Forward a photocopy of the main card (including the back of the card if necessary) plus any shelflist cards to DBMS along with the RLIN record(s). Return the main card to the Card Catalog. To accomodate past practice and minimize future updating, catalog records should include all "editions", issues, printings, etc., as described above. Some areas of the description will not necessarily match current standards. Change copy in any way needed to follow these guidelines. (Where future publication pattern is unknown or unclear, consider cataloging individual vols. separately as per LC) CC: 9914 EL: 7 245: Do not transcribe the statement of editor, translator, etc. Instead, put this information in a note, as shown below. 260: Use as on the earliest volume covered by the record, if this can be determined from cards or from RLIN. If not, use a later imprint. Use the note "Imprint varies" to indicate variants from the transcribed information. Leave the date open if there is any evidence of variant printings, issues, "editions", etc., as expressed on existing records. If a date is initially closed, it may be opened later if new volumes of a variant printing, etc., are added. 300: Record as it appears on the card. 440: Use "Loeb classical library" in all cases, without numbers and without "subseries." 500: To make the record as inclusive as possible, use the following notes as needed:
MDES: For added volumes, always include the latest printing/publication date after the volume designator. Take the date from the t.p. verso or t.p.: (change MDES to: Item record CHRON) vol. 1 1991 If the printing date of a subsequent added volume duplicates that of one already in the collection, add it as Copy 2 of that printing. LVOL: Record the basic volume numbers for each location; do not attempt to specify each printing, etc. LVOL vol.1-2
