M. Willer: Croatian Experience with MARC 21
Use of MARC 21 BibliographicConceptual level
Croatian cataloguing rules and practice & their implementation into the UNIMARC formats:
To follow or not to follow?Decision: to follow as far as MARC 21
“allows” it, not to follow where MARC 21 commands differently!
M. Willer: Croatian Experience with MARC 21
Use of MARC 21 BibliographicBibliographic conditions:
New types of materials (e.g. web resources) follow MARC 21Content vs. Carrier (Literary vs. Bibliographic unit) (e.g. e-resources, reproductions) change the practiceMain/Added entry (heading) different concept: follow MARC 21
M. Willer: Croatian Experience with MARC 21
Use of MARC 21 BibliographicBibliographic conditions:
Multilevel description (e.g. multivolume publications, monographs in a series, analytics in a serial, supplement/parent publication) the practice retainedRecording/Transcribing data from the source & ISBD punctuation follow MARC 21Coded data (e.g. codes for language, country, character sets - normalisation) change ISO; follow MARC 21

Use of MARC 21 AuthoritiesConceptual level
Used for author & work headings; subject headingsMultiple biographic identities for persons
Used in UNIMARC although not allowed by rules
Compared to UNIMARC lack of:Type of entity code (Record label)Language of entity; nationality of entityCoded data fields for personal and corporate bodies; 260 Place NameTracing control (‡w control subfield: 8 < 13)
M. Willer: Croatian Experience with MARC 21
Use of MARC 21 Authorities
Practical levelCroatian cataloguing rules & GAREMARC 21 used as isno additions of local codes/fields
M. Willer: Croatian Experience with MARC 21
Some conclusions…General observation:
Fundamental clash between national cataloguing rules & MARC 21 format use at the conceptual level:
What is the object of description (e.g. content vs. carrier)Main/Added entry (e.g. syndetic/linking structure: literary vs. bibliographic unit)Multilevel description method (e.g. record linking: multivolume publications)
M. Willer: Croatian Experience with MARC 21
Some conclusions…Conversion UNIMARC – MARC 21:
Loss of coded data (e.g. rare books) & information value of bibliographic data elements
New types of resources: well accommodatedMaintenance of the format: additions?Croatian cataloguing rules: national tradition?Users: Is there an impact, if at all?
