Genre/Form Authority Records
• May 24, 2011: Authority records for genre/form terms created as part of
LCSH were cancelled and reissued as part of LC Genre/Form Terms for
Library and Archival Materials (LCGFT). Approximately 700 records were
affected.
• New authority records:
– LCCN prefix: gf
– 008/11 (Subject heading system/thesaurus): z (Other)

Genre/Form:
MARS Authority Control
• Processing using new genre/form authority records
– 655 _7 [term] $2 lcgft will be matched against the LCGFT
file
– 655 _0 [term] will first be matched against the LCGFT file.
If a match is found, the heading will be corrected if needed
(match to 4xx), and MARC will be changed to 655 _7 [term]
$2 lcgft
• Headings not matched will be matched against LCSH
• Headings still not matched will appear on the
Unmatched Genre/form heading report

OCLC News
• OCLC now has Member Services Consultants who are part of a
new Member Services team

– WorldCat.org, WorldCat Local, Knowledgebase (working on lending
side), Web-Scale Management Service (cloud-based next-
generation ILS), WorldCat APIs,
– First Search will be around a couple more years
– Partnerships: EasyBib, Google
21
OCLC Plans
• OCLC bib notification: Discussion of enhancements are being planned for
the next FY (after July)
• Work record project: Will re-use summaries, contents, subject headings
for identical works
• GLIMIR Project: Will link parallel records, reproductions, and other
manifestations
– GLIMIR = Global Library Manifestation Identifier
– www.oclc.org/multimedia/2009/files/GatenbyJ-Identifiers_GLIMIR.pdf
• Deduplication processing: Working on ways to prevent deduping of
records for rare and early printed materials, realia, and photographs

When to Input a New Record
• CIP (Elvl 8)
• “Variations in field 245, field 260 subfield $c, field 300 and 4xx do
not justify a new record when the Elvl is 8. If the CIP describes the
item being cataloged, edit that CIP record to reflect information
appearing on the item as published.”
• If RDA record, cannot input an AACR2 record
• If AACR2 record, cannot input an RDA record
– unless upgrading a minimal level record
• www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/pdf/inputnewrecord.pdf
29
SkyRiver
• Bibliographic utility like OCLC
• Guiding principle that bibliographic metadata exist within the
public domain
• Over 28 million unique titles including the full LC MARC files and
CONSER files…supplemented by public domain metadata from …
customer libraries
• Compatible with various ILS
• Offers annual subscriptions. There are no access fees or
itemization, just a flat rate annual fee
• As of Nov. 17, 2010, “an active NACO node within the Library of
Congress Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC).”

Provider-Neutral E-Monograph MARC
Record Guide
• Revised Sept. 2010:
www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/PN-Guide.pdf
• Being rewritten so it is less print-centric.
Intent is to use them with all formats.
33
Provider Neutral Record –
September 2010 changes
• 008/23: use code "o" (online) for form of item
• 020:
– Record each e-version ISBN in a separate 020 $a
– Record other ISBNs in 020 $z
– Copy the print ISBN to field 776 $z
• 246 1_ $i Available from some providers with title: $a [title]
34
Provider Neutral Record –
September 2010 changes
• Use 500 for source of title note.
• Use 588 for description based on note.
– Description based on print version record
• 8xx: Use the print ISSN rather than the online ISSN for series
that exist in print as well as online formats. $x should be the
final subfield.
• FAQ: PNR focuses on content and may be used for e-
monographs available for downloading from commercial sites
35
CONSER
• CONSER Operations Meeting – May 6, 2011
– Multiple Format Linking Group
• Issues:
– Not always clear if new format signals cessation of older format
– Retrospective digitization means “title change” from previous format may be
misleading
– Lack of uniform titles may be confusion for users – can’t tell which title is
which
– Former and Subsequent title fields not in step with FRBR and
maybe not RDA
• Recommendations
– Only use succeeding (785) and former entry (780) when there is a
title change
– Use 776 for different formats, and record the format in $i
36
CONSER
• CONSER Operations Meeting – May 6, 2011
– ISSN assignment to digital reproductions of print serials –
survey
• ISSN Network is reviewing its policy regarding ISSN
assignment to digital reproductions of print serials
• Proposed new rule: Assign a separate ISSN to a digital
reproduction of a print serial, whether ceased or
current, except when an ISSN has already been
assigned to a born digital version of the same serial
under the same name, in which case the ISSN of the
born digital version should be used.
• Survey conducted (results were due May 13, 2011)

were submitted via the NACO Music Funnel. The SACO
Music Funnel will streamline contributions.

headings and new LC classification numbers – for SACO
Music Funnel Project members (but it may not be
difficult to become a participant)
• SACO will also be involved in LCSH genre/form
initiatives

LC: Medical ECIP
• During a trial (July 1-Dec. 31, 2011), LC will
cease to assign LCSH and LCC to clinical
medical ECIP titles. They will continue to add
Dewey Decimal Classification numbers.
• If clinical titles are later added to their
permanent collection, they will add LCSH and
LCC at that time.
• Reason: staffing.

ligature

books in your collection that have not gone through authority
processing

Transforming our Bibliographic Framework: A Statement
from the Library of Congress (May 13, 2011)
• The Library of Congress will create a task force to address:
• Determine which aspects of current metadata encoding standards should be
retained and evolved into a format for the future. We will consider MARC 21, in
which billions of records are presently encoded, as well as other initiatives.
• Experiment with Semantic Web and linked data technologies to see what benefits
to the bibliographic framework they offer our community and how our current
models need to be adjusted to take fuller advantage of these benefits.
• Foster maximum re-use of library metadata in the broader Web search
environment, so that end users may be exposed to more quality metadata and/or
use it in innovative ways.
• Enable users to navigate relationships among entities—such as persons, places,
organizations, and concepts—to search more precisely in library catalogs and in the
broader Internet. We will explore the use of promising data models such as
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) in navigating relationships,
whether those are actively encoded by librarians or made discernible by the
Semantic Web.
60
Transforming our Bibliographic Framework: A Statement
from the Library of Congress (May 13, 2011)
• Explore approaches to displaying metadata beyond current MARC-based
systems.
• Identify the risks of action and inaction, including an assessment of the
pace of change acceptable to the broader community: will we take
incremental steps or take bolder, faster action?
• Plan for bringing existing legacy metadata into new bibliographic systems

RDA:
Resource Description & Access
How many of you have created RDA
records?
How many of you have them in your
catalog?
62
RDA
• U.S. test period ended December 31; national
libraries began process to analyze data, and to
issue a report with their recommendation
regarding the implementation of RDA
• Some libraries have continued to catalog using
RDA
• We are all anxiously awaiting the report!
RDA Implementation
• "The U.S. national libraries (Library of Congress,
National Agricultural Library, and National Library of
Medicine) expect to make an announcement of their
decision regarding the implementation of RDA
(Resource Description & Access) prior to the ALA
Annual Conference in New Orleans. During the
Conference, managers and staff from the three libraries
and members of the U.S. RDA Test Coordinating
Committee will be discussing in detail the
announcement and likely next steps, based on the
decision.“—forwarded on behalf of Beacher Wiggins
