Course description

Building on cataloging principles and rules taught in LIS 605, LIS 606 introduces students to the rules, principles, and practices of authority control in library catalogs, reference structure, choice of access points in the bibliographic record, form of access points, MARC authority record construction, cataloging of various non-book formats including electronic formats, and cataloging of continuing resources. Continues (from 605) the study of Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records (FRBR), descriptive cataloging using RDA (Resource Description & Access), MARC bibliographic format, Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), and Library of Congress Classification (LCC). 

 

Class meetings will consist of lecture and discussion format and some in-class exercises using online bibliographic tools and utilities.  Students will be expected to complete reading assignments and exercises prior to each class meeting.  Homework assignments will require the use of OCLCs Connexion® cataloging client or web-based Connexion browser. The Connexion client can be downloaded free of charge to your home computer or any other PC running Windows. Download instructions will be distributed in class.

Students will be expected to discuss their weekly written assignments in class.

On April 30, each student will make a 15-minute in-class presentation on a topic of current interest in cataloging or bibliographic control.  Topics and other details of the presentation requirement are posted here. 

Students will be expected to subscribe to the RDA-L discussion list by January 22 and remained subscribed through at least April 30.  Subscription instructions are available here.

Course objectives

At the end of the course the student should be able to:

·         Understand the nature of works, expressions, manifestations, and items in the FRBR conceptual model.

·         Using the OCLC Connexion® client or browser, create a MARC bibliographic record for a resource in any physical format and of any form of issuance.

·         Using the OCLC Connexion® client or browser, create a MARC authority record for a personal name, corporate body name, or conference name.

·         Determine and properly format access points in bibliographic records

·         Conduct authority research

·         Properly construct and format headings and references in authority records

·         Assign and properly construct Library of Congress Subject Headings subject strings according to the rules in Subject Headings Manual (SHM)

·         Classify library resources using the Library of Congress Classification scheme.

·         Understand the benefits and challenges of shared cataloging.

 

Prerequisites

LIS 605

 

Teaching Method/Requirements

Class meetings will consist of lecture and discussion format and occasional in-class exercises using online bibliographic tools and utilities. 

 

Students will be expected to complete reading assignments and exercises prior to each class meeting.    

 

Assignments will be posted on the online class syllabus one week before they are due.

 

Most homework assignments will require the use of OCLCs Connexion® cataloging client or browser and access to RDA Toolkit.  Access instructions for RDA Toolkit  will be provided during the first class session.

In addition to the 12 homework assignments, each student will make a 20-minute in-class presentation on an issue of current interest in bibliographic control.

Students will be expected to have read all messages posted on RDA-L since the previous class session.
