Appendix to flammability of clothing textiles, CS 191-53 / statement of the Standing Committee on Commercial Standard CS 191-53. (OCLC #914231826)
This document is an appendix to a commercial standard (cataloged separately), which is indicated in the SuDoc number:
086 0_ ǂa C 18.276:191-53/appendix
I also included an added entry for the original work, using the relationship designator from RDA J.2.5:
730 0_ ǂi Appendix to (work): ǂa Flammability of clothing textiles.
I︠A︡zykovai︠a︡ situat︠s︡ii︠a︡ Kievskoĭ Rusi i ee znachenie dli︠a︡ istorii russkogo literaturnogo i︠a︡zyka : [doklad na IX Mezhdunarodnom sʺezde slavistov, Kiev, 1983 g.] / B.A. Uspenskiĭ. (OCLC #10876369)
When copy cataloging, recall that pre-RDA records may abbreviate various words which you may not recognize if they are in an unfamiliar language. For example, where this piece says “Издательство” (Izdatelʹstvo, “publishing house”), the record I found abbreviated it as Izd-vo:
260 __ ǂa Moskva : ǂb Izd-vo Moskovskogo universiteta, ǂc 1983.
This makes such words not ideal for searching, and you may have to look closely to decide if the record you found matches the piece in hand.
Кижи = Kizhi = Kishi / avtory knigi: Крохин В.А., Пулькин В.И., Смирнов В.И., Ямщиков С.В. (OCLC #913890757)
RDA 2.3.3.3 on Recording Parallel Titles Proper says “if there is more than one parallel title proper, record the titles in the order indicated by the sequence, layout, or typography of the titles on the source or sources of information.” In ISBD, this is done with equals signs preceding each title proper:
245 00 ǂa Кижи = ǂb Kizhi = Kishi
245ǂa contains only the first title proper; the other two go into 245ǂb, Remainder of title.
Russkai︠a︡ istorii︠a︡ v sravnitelʹno-istoricheskom osveshchenii : osnovy sot︠s︡ialʹnoĭ dinamiki : N. Rozhkov ; [predislovie B. Nevskogo]. (OCLC #9738364)
The title page of this piece says both “том второй” (volume 2)
and “издание третье” (third edition). Does this mean it is volume 2 of the third edition?
An OCLC record for a two-volume set clarifies the situation:
500 __ ǂa T. 1 is 4th ed. and t. 2 is 3rd ed.
Blue ridge fire towers / Robert Sorrell. (OCLC #904037097)
RDA 2.8.1.4 on Recording publicaton statements says to “transcribe places of publication and publishers’ names as they appear on the source of information”, which includes any initial articles, as in:
264 _1 ǂa [Charleston, SC] : ǂb The History Press, ǂc 2015.
East Austin stories [videorecording]. (OCLC #515199419)
In RDA, we can supply the date of publication from any available source. I could not find a date of publication in any of the preferred sources (same source as title proper, or anywhere else in the resource) so emailed the contact person listed on the publisher’s website. He quickly wrote back and supplied me with the information and was delighted to hear that we were adding the video to our collection.
As the date of publication was supplied from a source outside of the resource, I indicated that with square brackets:
264 _1 ǂa [Austin, Texas] : ǂb EastAustinStories.org, ǂc [2005]
The principal navigations, voyages, traffiques & discoveries of the English nation : made by sea or over-land to the remote and farthest distant quarters of the earth at any time within the compasse of these 1600 yeeres / by Richard Hakluyt. (OCLC #6737)
This volume looks fine from the outside, but its text block is upside down! Not really a problem, you just have to flip it over to read it.
We’re barcoding and labeling it as usual, and I wrote the call number on the back of the actual title page (as I also do for books in right-to-left reading languages like Japanese). I mentioned the oddity in a note:
590 __ ǂa Young Library copy of volume 11 bound upside-down.
The mountain warbler : being a collection of original songs and recitations with selections from other writers, for the use of choirs, Sabbath schools and families / by William Willes. (OCLC #3734861)
What do you think – is that Brigham Young’s signature in this book from one of our music collections? Do we have one of his old books?
The name is also written on pages 50 and 100 – is that an old practice among book owners or libraries?
(Thanks Kerri!)
Legislation on foreign relations through … / Committee on Foreign Relations, Committee on International Relations. (OCLC #3700343)
When cataloging serials already in the collection, we check surrounding areas on the shelf to make sure that any missing volumes have not just been misshelved. We sometimes find them, but this is the first I’ve seen with an explanatory note. Scrawled on the head (top of the text block): “Today is my last day in this work”.
Coprésences, entrecroisements : le pictural et le narratif chez Marie-Claire Blais et Sergio Kokis / Kirsty Bell. (OCLC #892302761)
One major goal of authority work is distinguishing between people with similar (or same!) names. For example, this title is by Kirsty Bell, professor of French in Canada, whose authorized access point is established as:
Bell, Kirsty, 1975-
Her date of birth is included to distinguish her from Kirsty Bell, a writer and critic in Berlin, whose authorized access point had already been established as:
Bell, Kirsty
