Masha Rudman Children's Collection Codes

These codes are to be used in conjunction with the cataloging instructions for the Masha Rudman Childrens Collection Cataloging and Processing.

How to use the chart: The Codes in UPPER CASE in the first column represent a broad category, whereas the Codes in lower case represent a sub-category. (Note that not all broad categories have a sub-category.) When creating the 099 field, retain the category code in CAPS and the subcategory in lower case plus author in upper/lower case as appropriate.

Examples:

The book coded 'bu' for bullying.

 099 |a AB |a bu |a [Author]
 690 Rudman Collection |x Abuse |x Bullying (categories are in hierarchical order)

The book is coded 'sub' for substance abuse and addiction.

 099 |a AB |a sub |a [Author]
 690 Rudman Collection |x Abuse |x Substance Abuse and Addiction
  

The book is coded 'AB' for Abuse.

 099 |a AB |a [Author]
 690 Rudman Collection |x Abuse

The book is coded 'PRO' for Professional Books.

 099 (There is no 099 field for PRO books)
 690 |a Rudman Collection |x Professional Books.

The book is coded 'BIO' for Biography.

 099 |a BIO |a [Biographical subject] |a [Author}
 690 |a Rudman Collection |v Biography 

I.E., a book about Jane Addams by Judith Fradin would be:

 099 |a BIO |a Addams |a Fradin
 690 |a Rudman Collection |v Biography

NOTE: If the BIO subject's or the author's name is a compound surname, use both but split them into two subfields as shown below. Use the dash after the first surname whether or not the author uses one.

  099 |a BIO |a Joyner- |a Kersee |a Cohen

EXCEPTIONS: If the author is Joseph Bruchac, Jacqueline Woodson or Jane Yolen, use the following format:

  099 |a [AUTHOR'S LAST NAME] |a [Title] (Where [Title] is the first one or two words in the book's title) 
  Example:  099 |a YOLEN |a Dream
