  1. Cataloguing: Introduction OPAC AACR Murari P TapaswiNational Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula 403 004 Goa, Indiamurari@nio.org ODINCINDIO Marine Information Management Training Course 13-24 February 2006 MARC Dublin core CCF

  2. Library catalogue: What is that • Logically arranged list of documents in the library • Key to the documents e.g. ‘books’ • Indicates the position of a specific book in the library • Describes book sufficiently: author, title, publisher, etc. • Systematic order and format for description

  3. Catalogue: Evolution and revolution Register Printed book Card Database

  4. Catalogue: Data elements • Data: factual information about a object (book - in our case) • Element: items that describe the object (book – in our case) • Examples: • Authors • Title • Publisher • Year of publication

  5. Catalogue: Metadata Refer differently: • machine understandable information • records that describe electronic resources Library environment: any formal scheme of resource description, applying to any type of object, digital or non-digital

  6. Catalogue: Rules…1 • Rules: The manner in which you describe data elements or the way you type metadata • Identify which is this data element and suggest what is correct according to cataloguing rules: • UPANOI, TipamatorTipamat UpanoiorMs Tipamat UpanoiorUpanoi, T.or UPANOI, T.orUpanoi,T.

  7. Catalogue: Rules…2 Examples • AACR-2 (Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules) http://www.aacr2.org/ • CCC (Classified Catalogue Code) • ASFA Guidelines for bibliographic description http://www.fao.org/fi/eims_search/advanced_s_result.asp?series=6&sortorder=3&form_c=AND&lang=en

  8. Catalogue: Standards…1 ? Is 3”x5” catalogue card a ‘standard’ • Standard: provides a mechanism by which computers exchange, use, and interpret (bibliographic) information • Save duplication of efforts in keying in same data in many libraries acquiring same material

  9. Catalogue: Standards…2 • Examples: • MARC (Machine-Readable Catalogue) for bibliographic info: http://www.loc.gov/marc/ • Dublin Corefor cross-domain information resource description: http://dublincore.org/

  10. Levels in which we describe our data • Monograph (m) – book, patent, report • Monographic series (ms) – book in series • Analytico-monographic series (ams) – article/chapter from book published in series • Analytico-monograph (am) – article/chapter in a book (conf proceedings volume article) • Analytico-serial (as) – journal article • Collection (c) – collected works

  11. Levels in which we describe schema Compartmentalized (e.g. ASFA) • Analytic • Monographic • Serial • Collection • Local information (class number, location, loan policy, etc.) Logical (e.g. used for ODINAfrica) • Levels 1, 2 (+ sometimes 3) and local info

  12. Data analysis and entry Responsibility of a cataloguer • Identify bibliographic level of the document • Identify correct data elements and relevant fields • Error-free data entry as per the bibliographic description rules/ guidelines Make available your database to your users – important!!

  13. Identify document types and data elements • Lalli, C.M.; Parsons, T.R.Biological oceanography: An introduction. 2nd ed. Open Univ. Ser. Oceanogr.; Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford, UK. 1997; x+314pp • Shankar, D.; Kotamraju, V.; Shetye, S.R. A quantitative framework for estimating water resources in India. Curr. Sci.: 86(4); 2004; 543-552 • Wafar, M.V.; Wafar, S.; Yennavar, P. Indian Ocean Islands, coastal ecology and geomorphology.Encyclopedia of coastal science. Schwartz, M.L. (Encyclopedia Earth Sci. Ser.). Springer; Dordrecht; The Netherlands; 2005; 557-564

  14. Functions of online catalogues..1 • Resource discovery • Allowing resources to be found by relevant criteria • Giving location information • Organizing e-resources • Organizing links to resources based on audience or topic • Building these pages dynamically from metadata stored in databases

  15. Functions of online catalogues..2 Facilitating interoperability • shared transfer protocols, and crosswalks between schemes • Seamless search for the resources across the network • e.g., Iamslic Z39.50 distributed library http://library.csumb.edu/cyamus/ill/search.php • NDLTD Project http://www.ndltd.org/(OAI Protocol)

  16. Functions of online catalogues..3 Digital identification • locating a digital object on Internet by a file name, URL, some identifiers, e.g. DOI (Digital Object Identifier) Archiving and preservation • Metadata is key to ensuring that Internet resources will survive and continue to be accessible Details at:http://www.niso.org/standards/resources/UnderstandingMetadata.pdf

  17. Challenge ahead… Can ODINcIndio group of libraries have an Online union catalogue of resources that are available with them ?
