1.1 OBJECTIVES

The above module attempt to provide an overview of cataloguing of various types of special materials and electronic resources according to the prescribed rules and choice of access points of AACR-2R and 2002 edition.

            After going through this module, you must be able to
  • acquaint about the relevant rules of how to cataologue each type of special materials.
  • know the bibliographic information of different special materials and their order of arrangement,
  • differentiate the physical description of each of such materials
  • have the knowledge of importance of NOTES’ section and its orderly occurrence.
  • determine correctly the heading/ choice of access point for each category of non-conventional materials
  • know, significantly about the Electronic Resources and its cataloguing as enumerated in AACR-2002 edition

1.2 INTRODUCTION

The world is now witnessing an unprecedented growth of information leads to ‘Information flood’ and there is a need to provide instant access to information. The sky touching cost of printing and publishing, the frequent obsolete feature of print media and fast shifting of conventional print media to non-print media. There has been tremendous progress in the advent of modern technologies in computers, fiber optics, telecommunication, Audio visual materials, use of internet and Web resources that virtually affect the locations, access, collection, manipulation, organization, storage and effective retrieval of information. As such the libraries all over the world have acquired the special materials and cataloguing is necessary for optimum utilization of such materials.

1.2.1    Utility of special materials
  • Print materials occupy large space in comparison to the non-print or special materials as conventional documents are “Space eaters” while the special materials are “Space savers”.
  • Special materials possess the quality of long preservatory value.
  • Adorned with the quality of portability leads to easy transportation.
  • Facilitate to store large amount of data and can be retrieved and transferred speedily and accurately.
  • Rare and valuable documents can be stored easily in microform.
  • Audio visual materials, specially create interest in the minds of users as they grasp and remember the facts easily than listening to the lectures.
  • Significantly facilitate for E-learning/on-line learning.
  • On the whole, the special materials have the finest quality of instant accessibility, reliability, quick retrieval of information, easy updating and security.

1.2.2    Problems of cataloguing of special materials
  • Difficult to find most of the information from the recto and verso of the Title page and the information are not found at one place that to information is less for full cataloguing. Hence the cataloguer has to refer many sources for getting adequate information.
  • Problem arises to obtain information with naked eye from special materials like microfilm, micro card, microfisch etc which requires special equipments.
  • Thorough knowledge is necessary to acquaint with cataloguing rules and physical descriptions of various special materials.
  • Determination of choice of access points are some what difficult than that of traditional documents.


1.3 CATALOGUING OF SPECIAL MATERIALS


Cataloguing of the following types of special materials according to AACR-2R have been            discussed citing relevant rules with examples for better understanding of the students
  • Cartographic materials (Maps, Atlases and Globes)
  • Manuscripts
  • Music & sound recordings
  • Motion picture & video recordings
  • Graphic materials & computers files
  • Three dimensional Artefacts & Realia and microforms.

            If information is not available from the chief source, then the following sources (in this order or preference can be referred).

            Accompanying textual material, Container (sleeve, box etc.), Other sources.

CHOICE OF ACCESS POINTS :
            Main entry for sound recordings is based on the same principles of personal authorship (Rule 21.1A1). Also 21.1B2 is also applicable for corporate body.

21.1B2 : GENERAL RULE :
            Enter a work emanating from one or more corporate bodies under the heading for the appropriate corporate body if it falls into the category of :
(e).       “Sound recordings, films and video recordings resulting form the collective activity of a responsibility of the group goes beyond that of mere performances, execution, etc. (for corporate bodies that function solely as performers on sound recordings, 21.23 is most appropriate.

            It is to be remembered that, the cataloguer is required to add a word or short phrase to the statement of responsibility if the relationship between the title and the person(s) or body (bodies) named in the statement is not clear, e.g. Born to run [GMD]/ [written and performed by] Jack Russel.

Items without a collective title : In case a sound recording lacks a collective title, either it is be described as a unit or separate description for each separate titled part is to be made as mentioned in the notes section (6.7B 21).

6.2B :  Edition Statement : It is to be transcribed if an edition of a sound recording which contains differences from other editions.

Place of publication, Distribution etc. : e.g. London : RCA Victor : Distributed by Jupiter Company

            It is more appropriate to prefer a trade or brand name rather than the name of the publisher if both appear on the label. Prefer label information rather than information appearing in accompanying material or container.
The date of a published sound recording is to be provided after the name of publisher after giving a comma.
But if the date recording appears on a published sound recording, it is to be given in a note under 6.7B7.

6.5B    : Extent of Item :The number of physical units of sound recording be noted as
            1.         Sound disc

1.3.5 MOTION PICTURE AND VIDEO RECORDINGS

7.0A.   SCOPE :
            The rule 7 prescribes the description of motion pictures and video recordings of all kinds, including complete films and programmes, compilations, trailers, new casts, news films, stock shots, and unedited material. For sound track film not accompanied by visual material sound recording be referred.

7.0B1  CHIEF SOURCE OF INFORMATION :
            The chief source of information is the film itself (e.g. the title frames) and its container (and its label) if the container is an integral part of the piece (e.g. a cassette).

            If the information is not found from the chief source, the following sources (in this order of preference) be consulted accompanying textual material (e.g. scripts, shot lists, publicity material)

            Container (if not an integral part of the piece) other sources.

CHOICE OF ACCESS POINTS :
            Since no specific rules are provided in AACR2 for motion picture and video recordings for the preparation of main entry, the same rules which determines the authorship of library materials are also applicable here. Further numerous performers and groups are responsible for the creation of artistic or intellectual content of a motion picture or videorecording.
            So because of this diffused authorship, main entry in case of majority of motion pictures will continue to be under ‘t I t l e ‘ according to Rule 21.1C1 and 21.6C2 and title seems to be the most popular approach of the readers.

            Sometimes a film may be sponsored by society, Institution or other corporate bodies. If the film is of administrative nature dealing with the corporate body itself, the main entry will be  made under the name of the “sponsoring body” according to Rule 21.12 (a) which states that ‘Enter a work emanating from one or more corporate bodies under the heading for the appropriate corporate body, if it falls into one or more of the following categories.
            a.         those of an administrative nature dealing with the corporate body itself;
            b.         or its internal policies, procedures, and/or operations.

Further the same Rule 21.1B2 (e) recommends that, “sound recordings, films and video recordings, resulting from the collective activity of a performing group as a whole where the responsibility of the group goes beyond that of mere performance, execution, etc.”

9.0A1  Scope
            In AACR-2002 Edition, Rule- 9, the ‘COMPUTER FILE’ of AACR-2R has been changed to’ Electronic Resources’. Chapter-9 describes the description of electronic resources. Electronic resources consist of data (information representation numbers, text, graphics, images, maps, moving images, music, sounds, etc.) programs (instruction, etc., that process the data for use), or combinations of data and programs.

9.0B1. Chief source of information : For an electronic resources, the resource it self and the information from any formally presented evidence within the entire resource.

9.0B2. Prescribed Sources of Information :
            Information issued by the publisher, creator, etc., container
            From 9.1B up to  9.24 for the title and statement of responsibility, GMD, parallel titles, other title information, Edition are same as in case of other non-book materials. But if an electronic resource lacks an edition statement but is known to contain significant changes from other editions (e.g., changes in the data involving content, standardized coding, etc.; changes in the programming including changes in the program statements, programming language, and programming routines and operation; the addition of sound of graphics; improvement of graphics), a suitable brief statement in the language and script of the title proper to be mentioned and enclose it in square brackets.

9.3.      Type of resource : The term for the electronic resource to be catalogued be indicated. e.g. Electronic data and program (s)

1.4.      Summary :
            The problems of cataloguing of special materials encountered by the cataloguer and the advantage over traditional materials have been discussed. Exhaustively mentioned the various specific rules presented for each item of relevant information to be incorporated in an entry. Right from scope, chief source of information and other areas of description up to notes section have been clearly discussed along  with suitable examples, wherever necessary for better understanding of the students. At the end of bibliographic description of each special materials the appropriate rules for choice of access point/ determination of heading have been mentioned along with examples followed by the specimen of on “Entry format” as and when necessary. Besides at length the bibliographic description of Electronic Resources with determination of heading have also been explained.

1.5.      Chunk Text :
  • Problems of cataloguing are less information found in the ‘Item ’ to be catalogued, determination of heading and well versed with the rules of AACR-2R.
  • Special materials are preferred over conventional materials due to their quality of portability, preservation, transportability, massive storage and easy retrieval.
  • 8 Areas of bibliographic description.
  • Physical description Area mainly differs from each special material.
  • Elaborate ‘NOTES’ section have been prescribed.
  • Significant notes to be given which are not mentioned earlier in the body of the entry.
