What is cataloguing?
A catalogue is:• An inventory of a collection• Represents the collection as a whole• Represents each resource in the collection• A tool that enables specific user tasksWhat are some examples of user tasks?

Statement of International Cataloguing Principles (2016)
“Convenience of the user” is the most important of the 13 general principles outlined by IFLA:
“Decisions taken in the making of descriptions and controlled forms of names for access should be made with the user in mind” (p. 5).

What is classification?
“The process of dividing objects or concepts into logically hierarchical classes… based on the characteristics they have in common and those that distinguish them” (ODLIS, n.d., “Classification”).
= Notational approach to describe what a resource is about

What are subject headings?= Verbal approach to describe what a resource is about
Controlled vocabularies often denote relationships between concepts and terms:
BT USE
NT UF
RT Scope

Descriptive cataloguing
Descriptive records act as surrogates of actual resources in the collection.
Surrogates:• Represent the resource – via transcription
and description• Provide access points – via headings for
names, titles, place names, subjects

How to represent the resource
Decide what you are cataloguing:• Single unit or multipart? • Is it a serial or an integrating resource?• What type of content is it?• What is the medium?• What container (“carrier”) holds the content?• What relationship does the resource bear
with other entities? (e.g., agents, places, subjects, related resources)
![Page 13: Basic cataloguing for non-cataloguers · Basic cataloguing for non-cataloguers Instructor: Elisa Sze, Librarian (Collections & Public Services) You will need to have access to the](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040715/5e1cb71f09e4f202f2740887/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How to represent the resource
Once you know what you are cataloguing, identify the data elements (= “attributes” or “properties”) that help to describe the resource.
Most descriptive standards will tell you what data elements need to be filled out for specific types of resources.
Example: Library of Congress on RDA elements -www.loc.gov/aba/rda/pdf/core_elements.pdf

Goals to meet
• Representation• Accuracy• Consistency• Ease of the user• Collocation• Access Access points
![Page 15: Basic cataloguing for non-cataloguers · Basic cataloguing for non-cataloguers Instructor: Elisa Sze, Librarian (Collections & Public Services) You will need to have access to the](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040715/5e1cb71f09e4f202f2740887/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What are access points?Headings (fields) found in a bibliographic record that can be used to search for a resource:
• Agents = individuals, groups, and corporate bodies that played a significant role
• Places in so far as a work is about a place• Uniform title = most commonly known title• Subjects
Related concept: Authority control
![Page 16: Basic cataloguing for non-cataloguers · Basic cataloguing for non-cataloguers Instructor: Elisa Sze, Librarian (Collections & Public Services) You will need to have access to the](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040715/5e1cb71f09e4f202f2740887/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is authority control?= Establishment of consistent headings, which are used in the organization of bibliographic records
Authority control requires:• Consistency• Accurate identification • Disambiguation

Encoding (or structuring) the metadata• Key to cooperative cataloguing• Metadata is structured in a machine-readable
format that allows computer applications to parse the data
• Libraries set up their search and retrieval applications according to the Z39.50 data exchange protocol.
• Cross-walking enables record-sharing across an even broader array of institutions.
