Cataloging standards
Descriptive cataloging is performed according to the Anglo-American
Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed., 2002
revision, and
Library of Congress Rule Interpretations.
Subject headings are assigned according to Library of Congress Subject
Headings.
Serials are cataloged to CONSER standards
Main and special collections print titles are classified by Library of
Congress Classification; non print
titles
and archival materials are generally assigned accession-style call
numbers; GovDocs
Collection
uses SuDocs call numbers and a local classification for UN publications.
For specialized cataloging issues, we follow guidance in current
editions of the documents contained in Cataloger’s Desktop, and encode
machine readable records according to MARC21 Formats for Bibliographic
Data, Holdings Data and Authority Data. A variety of cataloging
reference
aids are maintained as links from the Cataloging Department homepage.
For local descriptive and subject cataloging practice, processing and
handling procedures, specialized handling or cataloging policies
for particular types of materials, administrative routines, etc., staff
can consult departmental manual and other reports available on tech
services LAN, and processing instructions and procedures maintained on
Treepad, linked from this home page.
Sources of MARC records
Catalog records received with shelf-ready titles from vendor Blackwell;
catalog records imported from OCLC or RLIN or other sources; original
input preliminary records created by CatSS, Serials Dept. staff;
preliminary records for audiovisual materials created by Wong
Audiovisual Center staff; original input records created by catalogers.
Copy and adaptive cataloging
Library of Congress records and full-level member-library MARC records
derived from OCLC or RLIN are generally accepted as found. Copy
catalogers check questionable or suspect headings against the local
authority records and/or live database, or LCNA, and revise headings in
copy cataloging
records if the preferred form can be established. They
perform
general proofreading and correct typos, mis-tagging or other obvious
errors. They may revise, correct or delete obsolete or inaccurate
subject
headings or subject subdivisions. Unresolved questions are forwarded
by copy catalogers to CatSS Section Head or to catalogers.
Less-than-full
records require adaptive cataloging to add or complete subject
cataloging
elements or upgrade descriptive elements.
Original cataloging
Catalogers generally create full level records, but may choose to
create core-level records. Catalogers complete and upgrade preliminary
records to full level. When creating or revising records, catalogers
normally verify authority-controlled headings in the catalog, LCNA or
LCSH. Original catalogers contribute new name and series authority
records, and their accompanying cross-reference structure, to the
national database through NACO, and propose new LC subject headings
through SACO, especially those derived from Hawaiian, Asian CJK and
Pacific works cataloged.
UHM exceptions from standard or LC practice:
UHM may vary from LC series treatment decisions to analyze or cat.sep.
based on established practice or
local
collection preference.
In adaptive and original cataloging, for single-number countries and
regions in Oceania (call number range DU490-DU950) which do not already
have subarrangement instructions in the
LCC schedule, UHM Cataloging
Dept. subarranges the country or region number by Table DS-DX1 for
UHM's own local shelving. The 050 of the bibliographic record that UHM
contributes to
OCLC follows the LCC schedule without
local
modification. For further details, see UHM Cat. Dept. [Memo #07-01].
For serials, UHM followed latest-entry cataloging for some years
(1988 to ca. 2001); older records are
revised
to standard successive entry cataloging if shared by UH System libraries
Subject bibliography is classed with the topic (not in class Z).
Beginning with the adoption of Voyager and creation of a UH Systemwide
union catalog, UHM follows
cataloging
decisions and policies adopted by SCCC (Systemwide Cataloging
Coordination Committee)
Pending (Cataloging’s long-term “to do” list)
Bib record clean-up projects:
move 598 UHM
series treatment notes to series authority record
upgrade
incomplete CJK and Russian old retrocon records
check
authority cleanup sheets and do any remaining after LTI cleanup
ASIA
Microfiche S33300 cleanup: hundreds of fiche titles to be
assigned distinct call nos.
recatalog and
assign call numbers to old unnumbered microforms
Recataloging:
upgrade
rapid cat titles
de-dup
duplicate bibs in shared database
recatalog
latest entry serial records to standard cataloging when bibs are shared
in UH System
