Throwback Thursday!
This volume from 1905 helpfully includes a page of “library catalogue slips” that you can cut out and mount on cards for use in your local card catalog.
Ioannis Saresberiensis episcopi Carnotensis Policratici sive De nugis curialium et vestigiis philosophorum libri VIII / recognovit et prolegomenis, apparatu critico, commentario, indicibus instruxit Clemens C.I. Webb. (OCLC #965502804)
The LC-PCC PS for RDA 1.11 includes specific instructions for RDA cataloging of Print on Demand (POD) Reproductions and Photocopies, which roughly say:
These rules have a fairly narrow scope, and should only be applied to facsimile reprints and reproductions; follow standard RDA rules for other types of reprints and new editions.
Memoría histórica y poscolonialismo en Corea del Sur : los usos del pasado en el nuevo cine documental / María del Pilar Álvarez. (OCLC #965255325)
This volume had a prominent “Korea Foundation” logo on it, and an explanatory statement on the title page verso, which I included in a quoted note:
500 __ ǂa "The Korea foundation has provided financial assistance
for the undertaking of this publication project"--Title page
verso.
I also wanted to include an added entry for the foundation with a “sponsoring body” relationship, but had some difficulty locating its AAP. A Corporate / Conference Name authority search for “Korea Foundation” returned 55 results, most of which were romanized Korean; I assumed most of them had something including “Korea Foundation” as a 410, but as the results list only shows the authorized access points (110), I could not quickly identify which was the one I was looking for.
I looked up the foundation on Wikipedia, and found its name in Korean (한국국제교류재단) which I used to repeat my OCLC search, and quickly find the authority I was looking for:
110 2_ ǂa Han'guk Kukche Kyoryu Chaedan
410 2_ ǂa Korea Foundation
for inclusion in my bib record:
710 2_ ǂa Han'guk Kukche Kyoryu Chaedan, ǂe sponsoring body.
I realized then that I could have also done the search on the authories.loc.gov web site, whose search results do actually include the text of the 410 with a References link to get you to the authorized form:
I will try to remember that for future similar searches!
Delphi series. Volume I / featuring Anna Leahy, Karen L. George, & Robert Perry Ivey. (OCLC #964631912)
The MARC 505 (Formatted Contents Note) in its basic format contains only one subfield ǂa with a contents note marked up with ISBD punctuation:
505 0_ ǂa Sharp miracles / by Anna Leahy -- The fire circle /
by Karen L. George -- Letters to my daughter / by Robert
Perry Ivey.
There are subfields for doing further markup, such as ǂt for titles and ǂr for statement of responsibility, and some ILS will even honor those and index the contents as titles and authors respectively:
505 00 ǂt Sharp miracles / ǂr by Anna Leahy -- ǂt The fire
circle / ǂr by Karen L. George -- ǂt Letters to my daughter /
ǂr by Robert Perry Ivey.
This is not the ideal way to index them however; the authors’ names are not in their authorized forms here, the statements of responsibility may include words like “by”, and the titles may include non-filing words like “The”. (There is a subfield ǂg for “Miscellaneous information” which could theoretically be used to “remove” such things, but the MARC documentation specifically says NOT to use it for that purpose.) For this reason, it is best to also include added entries for indexing:
700 12 ǂa Leahy, Anna, ǂd 1965- ǂt Sharp miracles. 700 12 ǂa George, Karen ǂq (Karen L.). ǂt Fire circle. 700 12 ǂa Ivey, Robert Perry. ǂt Letters to my daughter.
Found poetry: the results of a title browse for “I wish I”:
I wish I had a heart like yours, Walt Whitman.
I wish I was sick, too!
I wish I could hold your hand–
I wish I worked there!
I wish I’d written that;
I wish I had–
Delphi series. Volume II / featuring Joy Ladin, Jennifer Litt, & Tasha Cotter. (OCLC #964571488)
I was very conflicted about identifying the title proper of this book. What may be considered a series statement is most prominent on the cover, followed by the publisher (Blue Lyra Press), with the titles of the contained works in smaller print near the bottom. One could consider it a work with no collective title, but there is a main title page that does not include these individual titles at all, so I went with what was presented as a title and statement of responsibility on that source:
245 10 ǂa Delphi series. ǂn Volume II / ǂc featuring
Joy Ladin, Jennifer Litt, & Tasha Cotter.
I also included a variant title entry for the publisher, as its placement may cause it to be mistaken for a title:
246 3_ ǂa Blue Lyra Press
The individual titles are in a contents note and in name/title added entries.
