SCUA Cataloging

Obtaining materials from SCUA

Contact Steve Robinson a few days before picking up a book truck of materials to be cataloged. This will give Steve time to create labels for each collection.

In Aleph:

Search to see if we already have a copy of the book in the general collection in the stacks

Click binoculars

Click find

Set base to UMA staff cat

Use drop down boxes to search by title, ISBN, etc.

Click OK

Click on the record you want to open and then click catalog

Check to make sure the record is an exact match for the book in hand

Double click items under UMA50

Check to see if the book is held in the general collection or SCUA

* NOTE - If book is held by SCUA catalog a second copy only if it has a special feature (signed, limited edition, has dust jacket, etc.) Otherwise set aside for Steve Robinson to decide whether to keep the second copy or not.

File > Logon

Click Cataloging > Search > WorldCat

We only accept English language records.

Make sure the box next to Apply Language of Cataloging is checked off and set to English

Search by title or ISBN number. We want to search the Title Page, NOT the Cover Title.

Click on top of the data column to sort search results by year

Look for the record with the most holdings.

Check to see if UMass already holds a copy

Double click on the record you want to open up

Check the following fields

Call numbers:

090 Delete this field

050 Leave this in the record. Do not evaluate, edit or check.

099 Click enter to create a new field type 099 then RB 038 No.5

Call numbers for Multi-volume titles and serials

Each volume or issue gets its own number. The range of numbers used for that title goes in the 099 field.

For example, let's say a Parker collection title has three volumes, and the next three numbers to be assigned are RB 038 No.8, No.9, and No.10:

Bib Rec: 099 $a RB 038 No.8-10

Author field:

1XX Check that the author is correct

Exact transcription from title page, title page verso, colophon, covers, or other:

  • 245 $a Title : $b subtitle / $c Statement of responsibility (author/creator/etc.)

Edition statement:

Field 250 is the place to look for help identifying matching editions. RDA records will have the edition spelled out in full, which is what we want the record to have. Older records may still have abbreviated edition statements (ex: 3rd rev. ed.).

  • 250 $a Third revised edition.

Record accurate imprint information from title page, title page verso, colophon, covers, or other:

  • 264 _1 $a Place of publication : $b Publisher, $c Date of publication.

Copyright dates are always in brackets with no period, followed by an additional 264 field showing that the inferred date is a copyright date.

  • 264 _1 $a Place of publication : $b Publisher, $c [2010]
  • 264 _4 $c ©2010

If no place of publication or publisher is identified anywhere on the piece:

  • 264 _1 $a [Place of publication not identified] : $b [publisher not identified], $c 2009.

RDA records may also use several other 264 fields for Production, Distribution, or Manufacture. See a cataloger if you have questions.

Physical Description:

  • 300 $a Pagination : $b illustrations, maps, etc. ; $c height dimension in cm

Carrier fields:

Each record must include carrier fields. Example for books/monographs/serials:

  • 336 $a text $b txt $2 rdacontent
  • 337 $a unmediated $b n $2 rdamedia
  • 338 $a volume $b nc $2 rdacarrier

Subject fields:

6XX At least one subject must be present unless it is a book of literature. Do not evaluate, edit or check any subject entry.

Creators/contributors/authors/editors:

7XX If a person is named in 245 $c, either a 1XX or 7XX entry must be present in the record. Do not evaluate, do not create addition entries, do not evaluate for main entry.

Adding additional fields to the record:
