The meeting began Sunday night (October 5) with an address from Dr. K. Wayne Sm& President of OCLC. Dr. Smith made specialmention of FktSearch, which has gone "fivm no place to k t p W in 6nre years, and the forthcoming integration of Electronic Collections Online into FksCkuch. He ihiiiied sane of the critical problems facing OCLC, such as the appearance of alternatives to OCLC savices in cataloging and full-text databases, and the dif6cullty of recndting and retraiuing technical pe rmel . He also armoun+ that he would be stepping down as in June of 1998.

The Monday moming session began with a panel discussion of "Challenges and Opporhmities in Integrating Local Systems and OCLC," moderated by Betsy Wilson. Jeny Kline. DI;e$dent ofInoovativeInterfaces. Inc., discussedthe ~roblems 6f workstation maintenance. He explained the k c t i o n between "fat" and "thin" clients in the clientlmer model, and discnssed fhe potential of the network computer for OPAC and circulation applications. Bernie Hurley, chief scientist for the Universiiy of California-Berkeley Library, discussed the "culture of sharing' in the library world, and how the evolntion of the digital libmy is hampered by the lack of a foundation for sharing and integration in the digital world, as hiraries are creating "islands" ofproprietary information He called for the creation of a national digital library as a way of continuing the culbne of- into the digital age.

oationaistandard~. Report on the Fall 1997 OCLC Users Council Meeting ILstephen Wright,Northern ~ o i s University The afterncan session opened with "Telecommunications: The

Ties that Bind" Larry Learn, Director of Telecommunicafions The OCLC Users Council held its fall 1997 meeting on Planning for OCLC, disoossed "What's Up in the October 5-7, at OCLC's headquarters in Dublin, Ohio. The Telecommrmicatious Industry.." He identified some of the theme of this meeting was '%grate: Valuing Collaboration major developments in teIew,mmunications law since 1996, and Cooperation." The key questions to be addressed in the such as the overtmning of the Communications Lkcency Act

and the "nightmare of litigation" resulting fiom the Telearmmrmications Act of 1996. He advised hbraries to pay more attention to the Universal Service Fund and the Clinton . . amnrmsh-atwl.sefFasto restrict data enq t ion . Stuart Lynn, Associate Vice-President for Information Resources and Communications at the University of California, explained Internet 2, a new, more sophisticated data network being developed by approximate& 100 universities. Internet 2 will offer greater capacity and reliability, more predictable perfom~ance, and improved security. It will interco~mect with the regular Internet, and will begin with the establishment of 20 "pigapops" or hubs at various universities.

DonaldMuOCino, OCLC's Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating OtXcer, gave a presentation on "Integrating OCLC's Products d senrices.' He explained how OCLC is seeking to achieve "vatid prcdnct integration" h u g h the integration of all refemw prcdncts into a siogle service, "horkmtal product integration" h u g h better links between reference, resource shasing, and cataloging services, and "systems integration" through the utilization of standards in OCLC products and the promotion of standads in the h w wmmUnay.

After another small group discussion period, Leo Vmgt, Secretary General of the International Fedemtion of Library Assmiations and Institutions, discussed "The Value of International Collabodm and Cooperation." He offered tbree Chinese perspectives on the value of cooperation: "No one wave is totally alone in the seas of the world," "A tree alone cannot form a forest," and "The pason who plants the tree is not the one wbo will enjoy the shadow." He explained the role of IFLA in international h w cooperation, the challenges of cultural divw and the struggles of hiraries in underdeveloped countries.

Terry Noreanlt, Dim301 of OCLC's OBice of Research and Special Projects, offered a glimpse into "What's Happening in the Information Research Enviromnent" He demiied many fashdugnew OCLC projects, such as Kilroy, OCLC's effort to build a database of Internet resources, and Scorpion, which will automatically classify web resources by subject

The Tuesday morning session began with an OCLC h c i a l overview, provided by Rick Schwietmman, OCLC's ViPresident for Finance and Human Resources. He stated that OCLC's budgetfor 1998 is 140 million dollars; thek major growth has been in reference services, while the role of cataloging has djmiuished. Worldcat is still OCLC's major revenue source, although non-WorldCat revenue continues to grow. OCLC, like everyone else, has had problems with rapid obsolescence of computers-, a Tandem mainfrsme with an expected seven-year lifespan had to be replaced after only five

Liz Bihoff, OCLC's Vice-President for Member Services, followed with a genaal OCLC update and question-and-answer session She dried some reed milestones, such as the 37 millionth Worldcat record and the 77 millionth interhbrary loan request She also a n n o d some recent bents to Firstsearch, includingnew databases and the integration of Eledmic Collectiom Online, union lists, and interhimy loan ECO will eventually include more than 800 journals h m 21 publishers. She also menlimed some of OCLC's new products, such as the Wdows version of the Cataloging Mcmdancer and the OCLC Software Suite on CD-ROM.

The delegates then divided into small interest groups for further discussion: Communications and Access, Reference ServicevElectronic F'ublishing, Resource S h i n & and Technical Savices. In the Communications and Acms iutemt group (which1 attended), OCLC's Shirley Hyatt led the discussion. She emphasized OCLC's efforts to migrate all users to the Windows environme* there are sti l l thousands of non-Windows OCLC workstations in use, though OCLC is ending support for DOS s o h . The group then discussed strategies for encouraging users to move fiom multidrop conuectiom to TCP/IP.

After the delegates reassemble4 each interest group presented a report on the major points they wished to communicate to OCLC. The Reference ServicevElectronic Pnblisbing gronp asked for cross-database search capabilities in FirstSearch, cataloging copy for periodicals available through fnU-text databases, and an integrated user interface. The Resource Sharing group requested direct (&-user) ILL capabilities, more flexible FirstSearch contracts, and integrated systems for h e n t delivery. The Technical Services p u p emphasized the lack of sandark acmss different systems and vendas, and urged OCLC to assume a leadership mle in promoting standards. A short bnsiness meeting concluded the meeting.

NEWS FROM THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Deta S. Davis, Iibrary of Congress

The past year has been brimming with many accomplishments and new iuit&ives. Two big successes have been the full scale implementation of our Music Cataloger Sabbatical Program and the creation and distribution of the Macbine- Derived Authsnity Records which are part of the LCIOCLC Uniform Titles Correction Project These will be covered later in this report. S-g for music cataloging improved in the Special Materials Cataloging Division.

There are now currently 18 catalogers and 11 technicians on the three Music and SoundReambgs Teams.

In k a l year 1997 (October 1996-September 1997), Music and Sound Recordings Teams I and II cleared a total of 12,371 items. This number includes 3,338 scores (808 full original, 1,389 wpy, and 808 production level cataloging, m addition to othercategolies), 4,097 sound recordings (including 1,950 full original, 1,416 production level cataloging, and other categories), and 4,160 books and serials. From the beginning of October to the end of December 1997, the teams cleared a total of 3,261 items, which includes 1,075 sound r&gs, 1,421 scores, and 605 books and serials.

SOUND RECORDING ARREARAGE

The Library of Congress' holdings of the Armed Forces Radio andTelevision Sewice (AFRTS) Collection are issues of radio p r o ~ ~ c a s t to troops abroad The programs were &st broadcast worldwide in 1942 and continued to this day. The bmadcasts comprise avariety of entertakuent, hm music to dramatic scripts. Cumulative totals for inventory level cataloging of the wllection otilizing an Alpha 4 relational datsbase appMon are 54,248 discs pmcewd, an increase of an additional 9,592 m d s created since last year. Out of an original total of 125,000 records to catalog, about 71,000 remain to be cataloged Last year we aunounced that these reads, along with the 78 rpm records created under the Altshnler Project, would be a c c f f s i through the LC Web Page. We still plan for that to happen, but now not until 1998. S f f i g shortages and delayed hiring processes unexpectedly prolonged our p h .

A-Z Invento?y Projects

work has progressed on the* A-z cassettes Project. Technicians fiom the Special Materials Cataloging Division and the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Rmrded Sound D i i o n (MB/RS) are processing the Copyright Cassettes Collection. This wllection comprises thevast majaity of the Library's entire casette wllection which has approximately 67,000 items. These cassettes acquired through copyright, are being catalogedutilizing Cuadra STAR software. The process q l o y s a resource file of the copyright cataloging r d s for the casettes. The technicians utilize this data and e&auce the recad by adding information for song titles and tape publishas. In September 1997, a conbract was awarded to Aspen to cathgtheremaining 11,000 cassettes. As of the end of December 1997,34,781 records had been enhanced

Sondheim colfection

Processing of the Stephen Sondheim wllection of LPs continues. The wllection was originaY. expected to include 15,000 items, but we did not receive the popular music from the wllection When all we received was sorted and counted, we had received an actual total of8,577 LPs. Technicians in MSR III found copy in LC a e s (MUMS and PreMARC) and on OCLCfor6,701 items. 1,876 items werefmardedforfull cataloging. Copy on OCLC was found for many more by the catalogas and cataloging has been propsing well. Gnly about 550 items are still waiting full catalog&. We expect them to be completed in 1998.

LC Concert Tapes

Chamber music concern have been presented by the Music Man of the Library of Congress since the Coolidge Auditorium was built in 1925. Since the late 1930's, most of the concerts have been m d e d and mmy were broadcast on radio both locally and nationally. Because of the great a h t i c and research value of the over 1,500 Coolidge concerts rewrda the preserved tape wllection is nearly totally cataloged with full-level records. Ofthe concerts which have beenpmemed on ddio-grade magnetic tape Onty 167 remain to be cataloged. The wncert tapes document a great musical heritage by an extensive roster of internationally famous performers. Some prominent examples are Artor RuL&steiu, Rob& Cssadesos, Isaac Stem, NathanMilstein, Janos Starker, Gregor Piatigcdg, Leonard Rose, Leontpe Price, Jan DeGaetani, Peter Pears, Leopold Stokowski, and Sir Thomas Beecham. The variety of chamber music reprtory performed is vast and includes 2Oth-century compositions, many having been ccmrmissioned by foundations m the Library of Congress. Signiscant repertory given world premiers include Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring ballet, Stravinsky's Elegie for solonola, and Darius Milbud's String Quartet No. 10. Some concerts even presented composers and compositions not oth& rep-ted on commercial recordings, in the Librruy of Congress' catalogs, or in major library utilities such as OCLC or RLN. In combination with the Library of Congress' vast archives of musical scores, manuscripts, and recordings h m all over the world, as well as the specialized expertis of its stafS the tradition of concats in the Coolidge Anditorium is a very valuable treaswe of the Library. These concerts document live wardings for posterity and conlnbute to the appreciation and perpetuation of a great musical heritage.

Secrist Collection

The Senist Collection is made up of appmxk~tely 1,500 clas+cal78 rpm recordings of vocal music. Work began on this c o w o n as aproject for om visiting sabbatical librarians, and we have continued work on the collection The collection includes many rare operatic items, in addition to a large

selection of pie= sung by Rosa Ponsdle and tenor ~ n r i c o ~ Caruso. Many of the other performem are little-Imown today and the titles provided on the discs were often in mangled English. Even though these were. cataloged as PLC many author$ records were created to link these titles to legitimate, but somewhat lesser-kuown arias and songs.

45s Project

The arrearage of 45 rpm sound readings consists of about 125,000 discs, primarily popnlarmusic fiom the 195Os, '~OS, '70% andr80s. Cak+ps and khnicians on detail to a SWAT team h m their regalar assignments input records on Bibliographic Workstatiom (BWSs) using VX-REXX software. The Mega Guide to Singles has been licased and loaded into these machiws as a resource database. In addition, Dick ThaLvter, Automation Operations Coordinator, Motion F'idure, Ekdcdng andRecorded Sound D i i o n (M/B/RS), has devised a way to incorporate copyight cataloging data into the 45s database. Catalogjug records are loaded into M/B/RS's Cuadra STAR "~0~1~"-dat&ase and will be searchable by the public over the World Wide Web later this year. Over 3,000 records have been created since work began on the project the last week of October 1997.

Upcoming projecrs for '98

Concert Series: We have about 500 recordkgs of the concert series America in Concert which we will begin cataloging this spring. These recordkgs will receive full-level cataloging. When mat is completed, we will begin the 3,000-tape collection ofMusic h m Marlboro. Other concert series will be done in h b as we can coordinate ikse programs with cataloging c m t receipts.

LCIOCLC RESEARCH CONTRACT

As araolt of the joint research project between the L i i of Congress and OCLC, LC has loaded 67,000 machine-derived name authority records into the National Authority File. The LCIOCLC Uniform Title Correctiom Project is developing software to and update title headiugs in bibliographic

which will help advance large-scale authority control

The project is creating authority records for music because, acmding to established gnidelines, the music catalogers do not create authority records for all uniform titles used in bibliog~&c remtd.~. Authorily recmds for uniform titles were created only when references w e r e n d or when the results of research needed to be sxdai Therefore, the bibliographic 6le in conjunction with the authority lile m e as the authoritative source for uniform titles. As a result of the research p m j e several thousand bibliographic records which

the music catalogers to continue to have workable access to authoritative headins the headings c m @ in the MUMS Music Fi not covered by authority records have had machine- derived authority records created for than. The procgs is as f0Uows:

OCLC bas compared headings in LC's Music File (personal names, corporate names, and nameinnam titles) against the ~ a m e ~uthbrity ~ i l e . If a heading does not already exist in an authority record, a new one will be created The machine- derived authority records will include a 1XX field, a 670, and a 667 with the legend " & h i n m e d authority record" The 670 will contain a shortened form of the 1XX main enlry (if there is one), a title citation which will include a citation from the 245 subfield a date. and if the headkc amears in the - .. .. subfield c of the 245, a usage atanon. The 1XX mam en@ IS included anthin the 67Qbecause we d e t m e d that with the high number of music m d s which contain a nondistinctive 245 ti& tbe additional information could be essenfial in many jnstauces to iden* the source record The date is taken fiom the subfield c of the 260 field of the source bibliographic record In some instances, cross references may be 'generated if certain formnlaic situatons occur, such as a compound surname. The encoding level of these records in the 008133 will be "d" for "Prehhy."

These records may be nsed, m m and upgraded according to normal LCMACO authority procednres. However, if appropriate, the "F'relhhwy" encoding in the 008133 shonld be replaced. If en* becomes available for machine derived authoriy records, h legend "Machinederived authority r m d " will be retroactively removed fiom the 667 and replaced by an appropriate code in the f u r 4 kids.

Further development and completion of the uniform title armtion algo&ms will c o n in 1998 and are expected to be completed v q soon Once the algorithms are fnnctional, LC will have the sound recording bibliographic records it bas pmhased processed and will add the records to its Music File.

MOTION PICTURE, BROADCASTING9 AM) RECORDED SOUND DNISION

implementeb For the first time m the history of the Library, t k e is amanager devoted exclusively to bibliographic control of sound recordings, Eugene DeAnna, head of the Processing Unit of the Recorded Sound Section. Mary Russell Buclmmn has most recenlly joined the section as Curator of Sound Rewrdiogs. The newly-created sectionis q t e d to greatly increase acquisitions of sound recordiogs and develop new policies and programs for their preservation.

In the plarming stage is a move of many collections to an off- site storage and preservation facility in Culpepq Virginia Negotkhs leading toward the acquisition of that facility by a private foundation on behalf of the Motion Pictme, Broadcasting andRecorded Sound Division and the Library are expected to be complete early this spring.

The MB/as Cuadra STAR Database

MISIRS and the Special Mat& Cataloging Division have been working steadily to reach the goal set by the Librarian of Congress to bring all of the Library's sound recordings under bibliographic control by the year 2005. This year both divisionshave enjoyed increases in staff to meet this target, but short of a catalogkg staffinthe hundreds, we would not be able to create standard AACR2, MARC recon% with authorities for every one of the 3 d o n recordings in the wlledions of the L~brary of Congress

Thus, MBRS has caeated an in-house Cuadra STAR database for item-level d e s r i p t i ~ ~ ~ ~ of unpnblished recordings and d o g m d s for recordings which are not bibliographically controlled in the Library's MUMS database. Having fill control of the database has offered M/B/RS a number of opportunities: They are able to utilize resource records obtained from outside somca, as data somces for cataloging and as loadable records for donations which are inventoried on a a l databases. By designing their own database stroctme they can handle unusual intellectnd works, such as serial-like radio programs, and are able to hi mnltipleversions of a work, svch as original instantaneous rewrdings, preservation tapesrefcmxe access tapes. The Cua$ra STAR database has also enabled M/J3/RS to implement linking fields. One particular cataloging project, that of the F r m Liszt Society collection, forced them to tackle complex and interesting classical music cataloging issues. The collection was chosen for catalogkg to see how STAR deals with such issues. For the Liszt pmject, popular and uniform titles of classical works, whi& are recorded in different fields, are tied together with a linkiug indicator. This may be the first time that links are used in a catalog record created by the Library of Congress.

The Library w e d "resomce data" forthat projest h the contriiutm to the planned American Vitage Record Labelography, or AVRL. The AVRL will be a multi-label CD-ROM discography project, the goal of which is to include every 78 rpm recording soldin the United States. The AVRL is planned as an evolving, dynamic discography which will double as a research tool and ameans for private collectors to catalog their own holdings. It is the brainchild of record dealer Kurt Nauck, who has recruited dozens ofvolunteer data conhbutors to the projecf an editor, and a progammer who will assist in data cleanup, record deduplication, and the writing of the application to use the data In return for the resource data the Library obtained from the projecf the Library has wnhiiuted ova 80,000 immtory records to the American Vitage Record Labelography. The AVRL know associated with the Ass&on for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC). Sam Brylawski is chair of theLabelography Amciafes Committee of ARSC, the liaison between ARSC and the discography

The discography's programmer, Edward Hopkins, is now conv&g the ARSC Riglerfiutsch Index database files into the AVRL file structure for use in the AVRL. There, the RiglerIDeutsch records will be compared to existiag AVRL records, cleaned up, and loaded into M/B/RS's Cuadra STAR database. Hop* developer of a rewrd-sataloging PC program, Sound L i b r a m , has extensive experience in donofPC-an tbored bibliographic records to the MARC format Another RiglerDdsch participant is planning on adding necessary d d e s to their Riglerfiutsch records and converting them to MARC, possibly for OCLC load.

Gother expected result of the American Vitage Record Labelogrqhy will be an internal, working, "authority file" of label names and mannfachuers, to aid standard description of 78 rpm recordings and ease use of the AVRL database. The Library sees all aspects of the American Vintage Record Labelography as very positive developments in which a new means of sharing discographic and cataloging data is create4 private collator knowledge and cataloging is made available to - institutions (and vice versa), and the pioneering work of ARSC's early 1980's Riglerfiutsch Index is continued.

Sometime in 1998 the M/B/RS Cuadra STAR database will be sczmhableby the public through the World Wide Web. A liuk to the database will be created h m the M/B/RS Recorded Sound Reference Center home page.

REPORT FROM THE CATALOGING POLICY AND SUPPORT OFFICE, 1997

A review of the &aft of the online version of LCC Class M was at the top of the 1997 agenda, conducted nnder the auspices of the Music Cataloging Advisory Gmq. Activity on reviewing the scbedole was delayed nntil spring because of di86cnlties in the production of a review copy. The group completed the review by the end of the year. A more detailed report on this project will be presented to the Subject Access Subcommittee of MLA's Bibliographic Control Committee at the Boston conference.

In addition to conducting the review of the draft of the revised M schedule, the group addressed the following issues:

Music in the a c e d CD Format Acquisition, custody, catalogin& and senice of this format all require new policies and prodmes. Together, Music and Sound Recordings Teams I aud I1 and the Computer Files Team are completing a h a l wodting vasion of a cataloging policy for enhmced music CDs. These guidelines will be reviewed by CPSO, particularly in view of the m t l y issued "Draft Interin Guidelines f a Cataloging Electronic Resources" (posted on CPSO's home page, http:l1lcweb.loc.gov/~lcp~0Idcmb19~4~tml).

SubjectHeading Practice

M c e has changed in one m of subject h- Hyphens are no longer added to terras for musical inslruments, ensembles, performer$ etc., that consist of two words (e.g., English horn) when the term for the musical instrument is used as an adjective, e.g. English horn k c . This change rednces searches onthese termsto a single search on systems where indexes observe hyphens.

The biggest change to face catalogers at the L~brary of Congress in more than a decade is the upcoming installation of a new integrated library system to replace the current MUMS, our historic in-house cataloging and sarc6ing system. The vendor has not yet been selected but the process is on schedule. Barbara Tillett, on leave h m her position as chief of the Cataloging Policy and Support Oilice (CPSO), is the dimtor of the Integrated L13mq System Program. Tom Yee will be actiug chief ofCPS0 d Ms. Till& returns. The new system must be &stalled and functional before October 1,1999.

PromprCat Gains New Processing Options

The OCLC PromptCat d c e now featwes new processing options that whance its efficiency and ease of nse while further lowering costs associated with technical processing of hiary materials. The new options-spine labels, the addition of local data, and streamlined shipping by vendors-support vendor-provided shelf-ready materials in combination with PromptCat cataloging records The new Promptcat functodi'q increases librarypmdnctivity by providing records with location and copy information that can be loaded into a local system without additional statf intervention to t o t e local-item records and overlay order rwrds. Using call numbers from records supplied by Promptcat, OCLC creates an electronic file of labels. Libraries,may choose type of call rinmber, format, and w h e k the vendor or the library rekieves the file. h i e s can print the file m-house usiug the OCLC Cataloging Label Program or may have a vendor pick up the S f o r M-muly mataials. OCLC can now also add location, and copy and volume numbers, to the bibliographic record so that a hbrary's locaI system can aeate both order and item records automatidy. The order record number can also be prwided to allw the overlay of the order record in local systems. Another new feature gives libraries the option to receive separate fles for approval-plan titIes and firm-order titles wbile allowing vendors to mix firm and approval titles in one manifest, simpli@iug shipping, which can rednce the shipping costs charged back to libraries.

On February 9, 1998, OCLC sent a letter of notification to each EPIC subscriber. OCLC already has taken the following actions with regard to the EPICiFirstSearch integration:

The EFIC mual fee was disconhued in December 1997. The loading of new EPIC databases was discontinned in

December 1997; however, current EPIC databases win continue to be updated through July 1999. e EPIC promotional litexatme and documentation updates have been discontinneb b New EPIC orders are diswmged; they will not be accepted as of April 3,1998. Among the benefits to libraries and their users of integrating EPIC into Firstsearch are:

Acogs to the same qualily of information with new databases being added frequently. b More foll-text articles wailable online.

Graphical user interface with a World Wide Web browser. b Similar suchiug and retrieval power in a format appropriate for all levels of staff and users.

E-mail capabilities for citations and foll text Lhcment ordering and interlibrary loan. Integration with OCLC FirstSearch Electronic Collections

Online. (From John S&an, OCLC Online Reference Services)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Compiled by Jay We&

Q: Some time ago, I had sent in a type code change request for OCLC #11193392, which is entitled "Me1 Bay's dulcimer chord eneyflopedia" I wantedit changed from "=" to WiL" It seems to me that chord diagrams are generally treated as books by LC, not as scores. For example, see #31520339, Neal Hellman's "Dule'mer chord book" I can tind other examples, especially of guitar chord books, 8 need be, to support this argument. You said something in the latest MOUG Newsletter (no. 68) about this very issue, where you leaned towards scores format for such items. The item in questron really is not in musicalnotaiio~~ It has a representation of the fret board of a dulcimer with dots where the lingers are to be placed to givethechord, represented as a letter symbol at the top ofthe diagram. Do yon m d y think that is a type of score?

A: In various @+.A over f3Ie years, I have said to consider such items as scores even when they do not have traditional staff no&a To my mind, ihk seemed in line with other things that do not have staffnotation but are still considered scores (scores that comist enlirely of performance notes, aJI sorts of graphic notalion, etc.) As backup evidence, I found numerous LC records that seem to treat such guitar chord collectiom as SCOT% but there were as many where they were treated as books. AsIsooftendowhenitcomfftotheREAUYdiflicult questions, I deferred to the Library of Congress. Deta Davis was kind mough to provide the following definitive A: "You might not like my mmer siuce it contradicts y o position. We do not consider chord diagram books to be scores ifthey are exclusively chord diagram books. We even have a policy

statement to that effect at the beginning of the Music-Fie Input-Update Mmal under "Scope of the Music File." [The relevautpassage in that internalLC document is quite explicit, had I thought to refer to it: "Rmds for books and book-like materials relating to music but whose primary content is not music notation, such as hi l tos , songbooks without music, books of chord diagrams, etc., reside in the BOOKSM me.'' Thaf is, they are coded as Type "a"] We ireat them as books If a piece of music is written in chord diagrams or a chord diagram book had enough music in it to be considered music, then we would consider it a score. Anof3Ier way of looking at it is, since the chord diagram books generally are not musical compositions but information on playing an iuslnuuent, theu they shonldnot be treafed as music. As a r e d of [this] query I examined our practice and discovered some recent chord diagram books cataloged in the Music File as scores We will be correcting those recosds and sending a reminder to the catalogers of what the appropriate treatment should be."

Q: I'm cataloging a CD of Marian Anderson singing. All the recordings were made between 1928 and 1939. The copy I have put "mono." in the 300, though that info is not on the item anywhere. AACR2 says to "give the number of sound fhannels if the information is readily available" I guess if you happen to h o w that stereo was not used until the late 1950's that info is readily available to you. But if you hadn't happened woss that fact, potting no info about sound channels in the 300 would also be comet. Right? Same business with i n of 007. BF&S gives a nice little history of sound recording techniques in the instrnetions for when to use the various codes. considering the dates of recording on this CD, it seems likely that "h", "direct storage, not aeous&A1' was the method used m e earliest recording, from 1928, might even be "a", aeonstid) The item has a SPARS code of ADD (also says the sound was transferred from the origimal78s and digitaUy remastered). Usually ADD is my cue tocode *n as 'kc. But BFM, in its Mth W r y , says analog ekctrical storage didn't exbt until the late 1940's. So wodd *n "b" be best here? By the way, I listened to a couple of the traeks. You do hear musk through both chauneLs but as far as I ean tellit is the same music, Le , not more bass on one and more treble on the other. That is, mono sound manipulated to come out both speakers on your stereo system so it sounds a little more balanced in your living room. Sound reasonable? (Pardon the unintentional pun)

A: Since yon arenot supposed to be required to go beyond the item itself for such infonnaiio& if the item does not say either "mono." or "stereo." yon may leave out the information a l l together in the 300. Since you h o w what yon know about recordiog history and cau conhn it with yom ears and maybe a set of headphones, you may supply the couect designation But you don't have to. That "A" in the SPARS code

signifies that analog technology was used in the original recordiog session. One suspects that m the SPARS definition, "amlog" cavers everytbjng pre-digital (or even non-digitaT), so you may need your howledge of the history to correctly code 007 subfield *n (ifyou choose not to use "a"). Chances are "b" is correct Even monaural sound will come out of both speakers/chamels. It's just that both will sound exactly the same, without any of the "chamel separation" that creates the iIlosion of stereophonic sound.

Q: We are contemplating a digital h'brary project which will involve digitizing about 70 published items of various formats (sheet m&ie, b~oks,~~overnment documents) which relate to the assassmation, funeral, and burial of Abraham LincoIn. We are wondering if for those items which shady have reoords in OCLC if we can add an 856 field which indicates an electronic address for an online version of the item. Our serials department says that they do that for serials.

A: Sormds like a wonderfnl idea to me. The current version of LC's "Guidelines for the Use of Field 856" (revised Angost 1997) is available at http://www.loc.gov~S56gnideJ1tml. OCLC's own Cntaloging Eleelr~nicResources: OCLC-MARC Coding Guidelines @ttp:ll~.oc1~.0r%/0~1Cmit/21Ufeb9ShWC~o~-Ele ctronic0Resources) should also be consulted. OCLC has also re* impkmm?ed the lmtest changes to the 856 field that are cdhed m the mtductory paragraphs of the LC "Guidelines" (the F i i Indicator values "blank" and "4" and the Second Indicator), although LC and others may not have. Raisiom have been made to OCLC's electronic documentation and the changes are outlined m both OCLC System News and in the March 1998 issue of 'Wits & F'ieces" available on the OCLC Web site (for which I do not have an address at this writing). The second edition of Nancy Olson's Cataloging Internet Resources @~J/www..oclc.org/0~lc/inan/9256catrt0~Btm or httpJI/www.pwLor%/oc1cl~atalo~-internet) is now available and should also be cxmdted.

Q: I have a question '&out tke 740 tag, subfield Bh [GMD]. I seem to recall reading on AUTOCAT that in "Bibliographic Formats and Standards" there is a misprint and that subfield +h ean be used in OCLC, although "BibIiograqhicFormats and Standards" says 'do not use'. I d d not fh~d this message searching the AUTOCAT archives, so could you pleane clarify tbk for me. Is that a misprint?

A: No, it's not amisprint Subfield Sh for GMDs +h should be used ody m the 245 field. LCRI 25.5D says not to nse GMDs mudom titles. Not nsing GMDs in the 740 and other added entries is mad m LCRI 2129: "Although a general material designation (GMD) is given in the title and statement of respousiiilay area (LCRI l.lC), do not use a GMD in added

entries, inchding added addedes for titles, series, and related works."

Q: I want to make sure what "those given prominence (by wording or layout) m the chief source of information of the b b e i n g catalogued" actually means. I have a CD with a titie "The art of FurtwZugler''. The names of performers are listed on the ehiefsource with equal prominenee and in the order 1. Berliner Philharmoniker, 2. Wiener Philharmoniker, 3. Furtwkgler. I consider Furtwbgler to be given prominence since his name is m the title. A colleague insists that considering names of performers, he is given equal prominence with the other two names, so these three are all to be considered as principal performers.

A. The d&on yon cite is that for "plincipal performers," WhichconstitubsFootuote 5 inAACR2 Rule 2123 @age 344). The issue is further dkasd, if not exactly further chifie& m RI 2123C wheretheepossibility of confadon is admitted The relevant passages f k a the rule intapretation reads: "When two or more performas are named in the chief source of infomatioo, consider to be principal pdormers those given the greatest prominence there. If all the paformers named in the chief source of information are given epd prominence there, consider al l of them to be principal performers .... In judging relative promiuence on the basis of wording, layout, and typography, consider names printed in the same size and slyle of lettering and m association with one anofher to have equal pmmiuence. When names appear m the same size and slyle of lettering but m different areas of the same somce of infondon, consider those in a location implying superiority (e.g., a higher position) to have greater promiuence. Do not ddernames near the beginning of a list or sequence to have gceater pmminence than those neax the end" Not having the item m hand, I can only speculate about wordin& layout, and typogrqhy, of comse. Ehd in general, I would wnsider mention of a name in the collective titlettitle proper to constitote greater promineme on the basis of wording (ceaainly), layout (probably), and typography (possibly). As I read them, neither the rule nor the RI excludes the title fiom mideration of "prominence." Rule 0.8 states: "The word prominently (used m such phrases as prominently named and statedpmmiuently) means that a statement to which it applies must be a formal statement found in one of the prescribed sources on information (see 1.OA) for areas 1 and 2 for the class of material to which the item being catalogued belongs." I would interpret that to mcMe the title and so consider Fmtw%@er to be the principal perfmwr.

Q: Kthere aretwo orthree principal performers, the 6 say to enter nuder the k t n v m d Usually the fiRt named is a solo iudmmentakt or vofalist, and it's OK. But in the ose of orchestral music, the wnductor's name sometimes m m e s f ~ and sometimes follows the orchestra's. I0 our library we prefer to enter under the conductor's name even

if the orchestra is named first As I find on p. 346 of AACR2r, a mam entry under the heading for the orchestra, our practiee may not be legal. Is it seriously illegal?

A: Since you ask about conductor and orchestra, you must be referring to AACR2 Rule 21.23Cl ("Works by different pasons orbdies. Cokdve title") ratherthanRule 21.23Dla ("Works by different persons or bodies. No collective title" [for works in the popular idiom]). Both of these rules include the identical text: "If there are two or three persons or bodies replesented as principal paformas, enter under the heading for the Wnamed and make added entrk mder the heading(s) for the otber(s)." Remmber that you must take into consideration much of what was discussed in the previous question about detanining~uumiueuce: wording, layouf and typography. So if either the conductor or the orchestra appears more pmmiuently, the W o n abmtpdncipal performer would have to go with the more prominent of the two. If they are equally prominent according to the RI and definitions, the first named wouldbe the pmpa choice, strictly speaking. But it's probably nct atemily serious violation of AACR2 to arbitrady choose the conductor in all such circumstances, all other things being eqoaL In this era of computerization, the concept of the "main entry" is often considered something of an anachrom anyway. As long as all the newsmy access points are p m t , I wouldn't lose any sleep over it

Q: To follow up. Choice of entry rules are complicated. Today aeeess points ean are more-or-less equal in OPACs and we don't have to file cards anymore, so is it stiU neeessarg to agonize on whieh is the main entry? What is the point in making and maintaining such complicated rules on the choice of entry?

A: In most systems, the choice of main en@ still has some impact on how entries look in full displays as well as how they sort in all kinds of ordered (brief, tmncated, group) displays. The whole concept of "main entry" came up for discussion at the International Conference on the Rinciples and Future Development of AACR, which took place in Toronto in late October 1997. The Web site for the conference, the papers presented, andthe electronic discussions that took place before the conference is at https'imslc-bnc.c~wrmdexh~. As the mdts of the comkace continue to Hter ouf I'm sure there will be even more information at the Web site as well as discussion papers and possible rule changes. In the meantime, beawarethafthe~onisgettingserious~onandthat change is likely on the way.

Q: What exactly is the "SPARS" code?

A: "SPARS" stands for the Society of Professional Audio Recording Services, the orgauization that created what we knowinfomallyasthe "SPARS code" in the early 1980s. You

can read more about the organization on their Web site at hitps'h.baaanimals.dsersfsparsJ. Here is what the Web site has to say about the SPARS code: "mt was desiied for use with CD releases to delineate exactly which parts of the recording process were Wtal and a&h wen: analog. This progr;rm cousisted of a -of guidelines set down by SPARS and given to CD manufacturers so that they mjght mark their pmduct honestly and preckly. This pmgram flourished nnt3 the early 1990's d e n the d@tal/analog technical scene became so cluttered witb conversions and algorithau for interface as to resemble rocket science. The simple code was no longer able to cany enough information to be meaningfol. SPARS witJdrew endorsement of the code in 1991, although some labels still use it today." The m h m a c t e r code appears on many CDs, usually on the packaging or on the disc label itseE. I am told that the code also appears occasionally on audio cassettes. "D" star&.for "digital" and "A" for "analog." The three positions correspondtothetechnology used in the original sound capme, in subsequent mixing and edi- and in the &g, w e b . The most common codes are: DDD, indicating that digital technology was used in the original recording d o n , in subsequent miriog and editing, and in the mastering, ADD, indicating that analog teohnology was used in the original recording session, but d i m technology was used in subsequent mixing and editing, and in the mastering; and AAD, indihgthat analogtecdmology was used in the original recording session and in subsequent mixing and editing, but digital rechnolog was used in the mast&g. The first position of the code may be useful in determining the correct value for field 007 subfield Sn ("Captore and storage teclmique"). The remaining two positions of the code are not llseful for cataloging.

Q: What is a matria number and how do you distiignish one from other issue numbers?

A: A matrix number is the unique numeric or alphanumeric sequence assigned by the souud ramding publisher or manufacturer to the matrix or mold used to stamp one side of a pre-CD recording. (Since CDs are single sided, there is no need to distinguish sides.) Matrix numbers usually appear etched into the sound recording surface between the inner grooves and the label, but they also sometimes are printed on the label itself. When printed on the label, they usually appear either in conjunctiun with the mdacturefs numbers ( g a e d y in paren* -- I recall many older Columbii discs like this) or as the only identification. It is in this latter instance when catalogers need to pay attention to matrix numbers. Richard Smiraglia's 1989 text Music Cataloging @. 22) suggests thaf mahimumbers are distinguished kom publisher's numbers in that matrix numbers usually differ for each side of the disc. In years past, matrix numbers often &ed coded infomalion aboui the reDording session, the pressing planf take numbers, and so o n In that respect, they can be valuable for mhival and historical purposes.

Q: AACIU m. 5.7B18 reads "If the works in a collection ;ue an in the same musical form and that form is named in the title proper of the item, do not repeat the musical form in the titles in the contents note". Rule 6.7B18 doesn't refer to this. Can we apply 5.7B18 in cataloging sound remrdii? I understand that the rules proceed from the general to the specitic m AACRZ and that we have to mnsult Chapter 1 as well as Chapter 6 in cataloging sound mrdings. Generally speaking, can we consult Chapter 5 (Music) m cataloging sound recordimgs and the other way mnnd?

k Barowing concepts from one chapter of AACR2 to use in another is a t i m e h o n d and often nsefnl practice. It is also m keeping with one of the cardinal principles of the rules, that of tiying to treat all iypes of matei-ials &e as much as possible. This bornwing is supported by a passage in Rule 023: "Use& chapters in part I alone or in canbination as the sps56c problem demands." Why Uis parti& (and common) c i r c e was brought up in reference to scmes but not sound m n h g s is anyone's guess, but yon can safely apply the idea to cont* notes in bothformats.

Q. I'm working on some more vinyl, mostly 45s and have one by Dave Kennedy (he is the performer; doing 32 instruments himseIr). I have him as main entry, but he also a-mte the "A" side, "Pizza pie". The tlip side is "Wait 'ti1 the sun shines, NeUy." Should the *writer and Kennedy get authorltitk entries? I wodd think the Keunedy 100 wodd beenough. I traced the wrong spelled "Wait..." in a 740 and did an authorMe for "Wait." author. As a general rule, all authors on these 45s receive antbodtitks tracing, right? It's the soagwriter/performer deal I'm wondering about

A: LCRI 21.29D for Sormd Recordings says, in parf "If a performer for whom an added entry would be made ... is also the composer of one or more works on the recording, make an added entry to represent the Morming function in addition to any nameititle access points (main entry or analytical added entdes) made for his or her works." .The rules, RIs, and MCDs abont added entries are serioudy convoluted, but as far as I have been able to disentangle, I I the co-composer (assuming shared responsiiila, as dehed in the AACR2 glossary and enumerated in Rule 21.6 and that Kmedy is namedkt) would get a simple name added entry (21.6B2 and 21.30B1). The authorltitle added entry for "Wait ..." somds fine.

Q: On bracketed dates, is there ever a "p" or "c" situation such as [p1967 or [c1982]? I never see it, and I guess it's becluse we don't h o w ifit should be "p" or "c"?

A: Brackets are used for tmmmiied areas m only a limited number of situations, mainly to coirect inaccuracies (Rule

1.OF1) and to indicate that infomation is taken h m outside the prescribed sonrce(s) (Rule 1.OA1 and elsewhere). Since the prescribed s o m for the publicati09 dishiintion, etc. area of Sound Recordings (6.0B2) include "Chief source of information [disc and label, and as ontliued in 6.0B1 for other reccndingformats], accompany5ng textnalmaterial, container," it wonldbe rare for an explicit phonogram copyright date (a "p" date) to be bracketed. Rememba that, ifpnblishas are doing things correctly (always a questionable assumption), a nm of the mill copyright date (a "c" date) should not refer to a recording itsetf but to something else associated with the rumdiug, be it package design, program notes, accompimying material, or whatever. As ~ s b , t h e "c" dates can be used only as inferred dates of publication and so must be bracketed, but without the "c" designation. I highly reammendRichard Smiraglia's new Descriig Music Materials (Soldier Creek Press, 1997), which has a clear and concise section about dates on pages 48-49.

Q: Because of time and money pressures, I don't often have time to do complete tracings for composers and uniform titlesfor sound mrdings. Instead, we rely on the 505,ofh ash?g the "enhanced" contents note subfielding. What's your reaction to that? Do thorie subfields +t automatically disregard the articles?

A: As far as "enhanced" contents notes are concern& different systems wnldbe designed to do different things with all of that subfielding. There may be systems that can ignore S a l articles in the 505, but I'm not aware of any. As a matter of fact, in OCLC, only 505 subfield *a is indexed for keyword searches at the present time (see the recent "Searching for BibliographicRecads" document). Because the 505 subfields *t, *I, and *g are fairly recent additiom to the format, you should make sure that your own local system bows what to do with them. Under no cicnmstances should you think of the "enhancedn Mntents note as a substitute for title or nameftitle added entries where they are appropriate.

Q: About your answer to the question On the SmithsonianMicmofi "Crossroad" CD in the MOUG Newsletter no. 67 @. 12, 6rs t question), it is my understanding that we are supposed to (and would want to) add a field 007 whenever possible. In the case of this audio CDICD-ROM I would want to catalog it as a sound recording, add the 538 and 006 for computer fiies, m addition to any other Momatbnal500 note describing the enhanced status, and also add field 007 for computer6les. Do you see this last step as somehow redundant or unnecessary or not valuable? It was my understanding that 007s could (perhaps not should?) be added for every format possible In other words if the 006 could have a corresponding 007 (not always possible), add it. C ~ c a t i o n ?

wonld make the item, in essence, a new editi09 regard the latest printing date to be an implied (and bracketed) date of publication with the laW copyright date followkg In this ca& yon would nse DtSt Y" with the bracketed date in Date 1 and the cqpight date inDate 2. Such instances might be kll score versns miniatme score, new hml maw, etc.

Q: Are'TwAmlytW' sti l l amptable? I have a collection of 16th to 19th-centmy songs, most of which appe,ar in no other source, for which I need to provide d i i access to each item. We have expanded NOTIS so that I could add the 71 added entries, but, of course, OCLC could not aoapt such a r & d The only alternative I can think of is the in-analytic As I was searching the OCLC manual, however, I fonld h d nothing about this practice (espedally since I expected to ~d a speeial5XX field for the "in" note). Is this still acceptable, and, if so, are there any special considerations, other than AACR2 rules, that I need to bow?

A: In Analytics are sti l l acceptable when appropriate, but as LCRI 13.5 suggests, they should be used only m special cases. There is a brief section m the introduct&y part of "Bibliographic Formats and Standards," 2nd ed., p. 36, that deals with them. You'll also need to look at field 773 and review AACR2r Chapter 13. A few things to remember about In Aualytics: If there is no record for the host item, you should create one along with the Analytics (and cite it in the analjtical 773s). It isn't necessary to analyze every element in the host itan., yon may be selective, if you wish. You should omit the 260 unless the information wonld differ h m that found in the 773 sobfield *d Smce you will be creating a large umber of records that will have at least some common infonnation (the fured field, some of the notes and subject headings, and the 773), I'd suggest osingthe comtaut data capability (described in "Cataloging User Guide," 2nd ed., Chapter 7). It'll save you lots of typing. Depending on the host item you're cataloging, there may be another alternative to Analytics. If the item has some sort oflogical subdivisions (volumes, chapters, etc.), you might be able to catalog each of those subdivisions separately and link them with "With" notes (as.we commonly did with d r e c m b g s , pre-AACR2). That is a sort of fanky way to do it, bnt sometimes desperate scores call for desperate measures.

Q: What is the proper capitalization for titles in the 245 field of AV materials. I quoted AACR2 saying only the Erst word is capitakd even if it's an article, unless it is a personal name, etc. There seem to be a lot of AV records in WorldCat that have the second word capitalized, and I wanted to lmow what OCLC policy is.

A: Ooly the h t word ofa title (in English) is capitalized, even if it is an article. Yon will see many rewrds in WorldCat with the secoed word capitalized, and will hear lots of confusion on

thematter, becanse the original text of AACR2, 1988 revision, said (Rule A.4D1): "If an article is the fnst word of the title proper and the main entry is under the title proper ..., also capitalize the next word" @. 568). Of m s e , the title is most often the main entry m VisuaI Materials records. With the "Amendments 1993," however, Rules A.4A through A4H were deleted and had new versions of them snbstituted, e h i d u g t h e capitalization of the second word when the title is the main ~I&Y. The Amendments are also kll of changed capitalizations thronghont the text, which me repercnssions h m that revision.

Q: I'm staring at a score (2 parts, actually) of violin duets by Haydn, published by International Music Ca The title page appears as fonows: HAYDN THREE DUETS (from three String Quartets) For Two Violins I have copy on OCLC that is a match except for the title, mhstihtting "op. 99" for the parenthetical phase The copy and my score have the same plate number, consist of twoviofin parts, and have no date (the copy has guessed at "[197-?I," wi&h e ' as good as anything else). According to OCLC's guidclines,I guess I'm jwti6ed m pntting in a new record. The question is larger than this one record, however. Jnternationd has this type of problem a lot. A few weeks ago, I bad a similar problem where the LC cataloging copy had the Fauna number of aVivaldi piece as part of the title, and my score did not. Recently, I had a score where the name of the editor was given m MI, while the OCLC copy had only his last name. I suspect that the publishing praetiees of International are snch that slightly different title pages and covers are prepared whenever more copies are ron. But that's just my suspicion, and chief sources are chief sources. So my overan question is: How should these situations betrested? Does OCLC prefer a "when in doubt, don't" or "if the title is different, the item is different, put in a new record" approach. Or is there no opinion?

A: Of course, it's not just International Music Inc., but yon know that. First thing to do is make sure you're taking into muut all possible titles (tide page, caption, mer, spine, list, etc.). Nexf wnsider how the titles differ. Are we talking substantive differences, or mere differences m fdluess of transcription? As you suggest, publishers are careless about these things. Unfortunately, there are no hard roles abont what sort of difference really makes a difference. If1 am looking at two records, the only difference being the absence of an opus number or thematic index number on one and its presence on the other, I'm probably going to wnsider them the same. Dierences that we might readily recognize if we wuld compare both items right m eont of us become much more bluny when all you've got are bibliographic records cataloged

by different people (or even the same person) over aperiod of time, or one record and one item. This is where the old standbylcopont "cataloger's judgment" comes in Comparing OCLC #3898584 with your item, yours has no opus number b u t h include the " ( h h e e S~I$I~ Quutets)" d e s i i o n . Those differences combined would probably jnsti@ separate records, but it's very dBicult to generalize and I would urge you to use your good judgment

Q: Can you direct me to whatever authority exists for the pnretice of adding a date in subtield Sf to analytic entries for musical compositions? I see this in records for sound recordings all the time, but I can't h d any referenee to it in AACR2, in LCRIs, or in Richard Smiraglia's book (at least the edition I have).

A: Subfields *f nsed to be added roulinely to analytic entries for s d recording$ although the practice has been abandoned by most institutions in recent years. LC Rule Interpretation 21.30M stipulates adding the year of publication to analytical added& fortheBible (25.18A) and the collective uniform titles "Works" (LCIU25.8) and "Selections" @CIU 25.9) ody. If you follow this last reference, you will discover the izdmction not to add the date (among other things) to the collective uniform title "Selections" when applying Rule 2534B, regardiDgcoUectiol1s of various of compositions by a single composer. F i y , LCRI 25.34B1 states, "Do not add a date of publication, etc., to the miform title "Selections" when this is nsed for collections of musical works by one composer." In other words, cwent practice for sound rewrdiogs analytical added enhies is to add the date only to Bible headings and to the collective uniform title "Works".

Q: It seems a p h u l a r idiosyncrasy of recordings (and spec&dyfor those of popular music) to have on the label some tkg like: 'Teople will say we're in love" (Rodgers-Hammersteii) and I have been dutihtlly transcribing the 505 as:

People will say we're in love I Rodgers ; Hammerstein with a semicolon separating the two names because I happen to h o w Rodgers has the role of composer and Hammersieii the lgrieigt on this particular song. Isn't this what we do in 245? Are we not to do this in the 505? Have I been leadimg our patrons asbay all these years? If I do not know what function the various people have, whether W a l l f o l b named are in effect a composing and writing team without separate roles in the process (and if1 do not have my admiuktmtion's blessing to take the time to t k d out), I have beeofodgiog and simply separating the names by a comma; eg., "You must have been a beautiful baby I Mercer, Goodman." I am loathe to keep the thing "Mercer-Ghdmau" or "MereerlGoodman" because that is an honor I think reserved for the MendeksoimBartholdgs of the world. Then of course, we see animals like "Th-FieMJones." It certainly does not -

affect access or anything. In short, do you recommend W m g the hyphens between names as they appear on the label or container? Andlor do you separate roks of responsibility by a semicolon?

A: The roles for statements of respnsibiliiy (composars and lyncids, primarily) in contents notes are pretty much the same as those for statements of responsibility in the title field. Role 1.7A3 says in part, "If data in a note correspond to data found in the title and statement of responsibility ... give the elemeats ofthe data in the order in which they appear in those areas. In sochacase ,nse~ipunctuat ion ...." LCRI 2.7B18 also give some &tails on creating formal conrents notes. We may also refer back to the mles on statements of responsibility (6.1F, 1.1F) for guidance on how to formulate snch statements. If the item says only "Rb-Hammerstein" or "Tilton-Field-Jones", you, would trammibe them with space-semicolon-space, just as yon would in the 245 field. Tbjspresxibed punctuation would properly be sdbstilnted for the hyphens or slashes. The relatiomhip(s) between the name@) and the title may be fuaher chilied if you wish (and if yon have the information, room, time, and patience) by bracketed eqlanations, but that's probably going beyond the cau of duty. 505 0 Do-mmilkdgers ; Hammerstein - Blues in the night /Mercer; Arlen .... or (for the ambitious or obsessibe) 505 0 Do-re-mi I [music by] Rodgers ; W c s by] T' ' ' - B b m the night I flyrics by] Mercer ; [music by] Arlen .... Ofcourse with keyword indexing, access could be a£€ected by how 505s are lranscribed

Q: According to MCD 5.7J510, we are now to indicate durations in nautical time in 500 notes. How does this square with transcnimg information as it appears on the item (spelled out, ete, as appropriate) in the 505 note? Seems a bit inconsistent, no?

A: Music Cataloging =on 6.7B10 (and MCD 6.7B18, which says "For the forms of durations recorded in a formal contents note, see MCD 6.7B10") is pretty clear: "In a statement of duration in the note are0 separate the digits representing horn, minutes, and seumds by colons. If a duration is expressed in seconds only, p d e it by a colon" Durations are represented in the form 'W-%MM:SS" in both .

500 and 505 notes.

Mnsieal Works on OCLC, or, What If OCLC Were Actually To Become a Catalog?

MarthaM. Yee, UCLA Film and Television Archive

Report by Renei McBride, UCLA

In her stimulating pmentatim at the opening plenary session of MOUG's 20th Annual Meeting, Martha Yee addressed the issue of OCLC in its cwent form vs. OCLC's potartial as a catalog fiom three angles: 1) an overview ofcmrent work in catalogingthat d d affect the cataloging of musical works, 2) a critical look at how OCLC cwently indexes and displays musical worlcs, and, 3) a dimsion of theodcal isms underlying

Cons of the Committee on Cataloging: Desrription and Acxw (CCDA) Task Force on Works Intended for Pedouuance audpa&5iimts at the International Conference on the F'rkiples andFnhm Development of AACR (Iereafcer the Conference), at which Yee presented a paper that formed the foundation of hw MOUG prewnmion.

The CCDA is abc@ wahin the Amaican LI- Associatim (ALA) responsible for developing official ALA positions on addilim to and d o n s of the Anglo-Amaican Catalogoing Rules, 2nd ed, 1988 rev. (AACR2r). Yee presented an historical overview of the CC-DA Task F a and the Conference, convened by the Joint Steering C d e e for Revision of AACR (JSC) m Taonto m October of 1997. The CCDA TaskForce mcmmendatim, which deal with AACR rules 2 1.8-2 1.27, are located at http://dar~.uoregouedu/-mrwadccdapage/p~.ht ml, and the Confaence web site is at h~I/www&bno.os/j~~ride~htm. In addition to e b i n g categorig ofC0nfkmn-e recommendations, the most im- of which were determined to be Principles, Seriality, and Content vs. Cwia, Yee discussed her own p e ~ n a l reurmmendafiws to the JSC, which address principles implicit in AACR as well as specitic rules m AACR Chapter 21, and which will be published in the forthmmiug conference proceediogs. The Conference rammuendations generally mggestthat AACR be more explicit so that its rules are easier to teach and understad, and Yee's recommendations and the JSC's published action items explore the issoes of defining a work, multiple versions of works, works of mixed responsibility, relatiomhips among works, and the intematimalization of AACR.

1) Integrate the authority fiIe into the online union catalog; 2) No search should fail due to overload; 3) Pmen uuifo~m titles are present, use them to organize displays, thus filing all editions of a work together, 4) Jmpmve author, title, and author-title searching capabiies by expanding indexing of all relevant fields and sobfields m both the authority and bibliographic files (Yee offered a number of q c d i c suggestions in this category); and, 5) Develop compressed displays of a pdcular work that organize &ions, performance$ related work$ works about it, eto., e.g a display ofMozart's Zaubefldte might be organized into the following categories:

a) Music m e s b) Performances on sound rewrding c) Perfomances on video recording d) Films based on e) Other related works f ) Works about

Discussion of theoretical issues underlying remmmeadatious for changes to AACR and OCLC sparme. Yee's entire presmtation, c u h n i n e in lively pdcipation by the audience. A particnlarly thought-provoking hypothesis put forth by Yee suggests that there are pure categories of content--e.g. music, moving image, compter programs--and that a work m one category cannot be &ormed into a work in am the^ category without-g a new work. Testing this hypothesis through research could result in our being able to delineate the fundamental types of contenf which might then bring us closer to de- the concept of "work' and to (1 ' .:.&gwllenae+&gw&hasbeenm&ed so much that it has become a new work.

Yee ed the fundamental theoretical issues at hand in the form of tbree questions: 1) What is a musical work? 2) When does c h g e occur that is substantial enough to create a new related mnsical work? 3) When are works that include a mnsical component actually works of mixed authorship more appropriately identified and cited by title than by original composer of the mnsical component?

Yee stressed that she did not intend to provide answers, but hoped that we might, noting that the cataloging community needs t$e music world's input, given that we have been dealing with these issues for a long time.

Yee next examined how OCLC currently indexes and displays musical wdd$ noting that relationships between a work and its various adaptations are currently nuclear on OCLC. Among Yee's ideas for turning OCLC into a true catalog are:

MOUG ANNUAL MEETING, PLENARY SESSION II

The Best of Times, the Worst of Times: Celebrating the Past and Toasting the Future

Pmented by Sheila S. Intner, Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science

Report by Snzanoe Mudge, Indiana Univers*

T m d s affectmg music cataloging and classificatzon

Dr. Intner began her presentation by discussing s i a c a n t

serving user needs. Jntner believes libraries can lobby with utilities and other for-profit vendoq and such resources wiU produce good quality work if h b m k s are v@laut. Music hibr;nians need to be specific about what we need and we need to have reasonable eqectatiom. Another issue is that some cataloging staff may not want to be redeployed to serve as public service &, oothers love it Many catalogers want to use their music scholarship m public service work and delight in accomplishing scholarly tasks. Intner likes to see an integraiion of cataloging and pnblic service and thinks it is a valuable asset to those who are able to do both.

Effects of trends on the division of labor - - trends affect& music cataloging shd classification. she

the most signiscant chanEe over the last Intner d e s a i how the division of labor in technical services

is the fact that bibliographic u&es, such as O C L C , ~ ~ no areas is already cbaoging in ww to cumat trends. While

longer +& -sing data gend by catalOm who non-MLS staffmembers are demg more music cataloging, the HD-d libraries. ~h~~ are true the sense number of cataloging jobs for non-MLS staff members Gt they generate their own through spin-Ogs, continues to dwindle. MLS h i a n s are perfomkg mauy

such as TECHPRO, or by working with for-profit vvendors. nOndOging tasks such as managing OpAC% fi,&er believes OCLC and otba: are with vendom training staff and patrons in use of new OPAC

into a new level of operation where there is an increase in services, and managing network activities. specialized staff and a vested mtemt m music cataloging standards. New requirements and directions for music libraiy staff

Citing the fact &at many cataloging deparbnents were de-professionalized m the 1980% Intner described how the trend toward downsizing has also himazed m s i z e iu local music library cataloging departments. As a resolt, local libraries increasingly tnm to for-profit organizations for outsour&g as a way to continue to manage their cataloging. Jntner noted that although outsourcing is now being practiced at a "different order of maguhde," it is a time-honored way of getting work done. Libraries have outsourced for 100 years, beghmjngwith fhe purchase of cards h m LC. Intner believes the problem is not that it costs more to do cataloging work in libraries, but that too o h catalogers are not able to give unit costs to admhhators, while an outside vendor can briug a prk. U h li- catalogers can document that it costs less, they are underbid Intner asserted that no library should spend more than $12.00 a record

What is "good" is utilities are now true di t i e s mat g e n e cataloging data. For-proM and non-profit vendm are gaining interest and experke in quality cataloging of specialized music materials. Trained music library staff can focus theii talents and expert k n o w ~ e on work other than routine cataloging.

What is "bad" is there is sfill the q&on of whether or not non-libray music cataloging is as good as in-house work. There is also an overriding question of whether work based on rmodnrizing proM can 5x1 be as high quality as work based on

Whileexpectatomforthosewith andwithoutMLS degrees are changing, many skills now required for professional and m-profeshd staff were not acqujred m MLS progmm and were not taught to non-MLS liirariaus.

Today, degree-holding professionals need skills in communication, negotiation, hances, res=arch, de%h-makiug, teaching planning, and ktitutional politics. Intner believes political skills are the hardest to learn and the most important to have. Music is genera@ not consided a "sexy" deparhnent Mixk h i need to plan, propose, and sell investments in access to -IS. Jnimz believes statistics are our 'W b e d . " We need to monitor and evaluate data from outside sources; good data will help sell budgets. MLS librarians will increasingly be needed for the expertise in evaluation and selection (among a multitude of options) of hding tools. F d a m o r e , as departments ~ l o o k t o v e n d o ~ ~ fa cataloging needs, MLS-holdiug catalogers can nse their skills to make s m the standard for outsomced cataloging mains high qualily and 6.

MLS libmims will need to teach non-degree-hold& staff additional skills in database searching and m copy cataloging, including a thorough understatding of desxjptive cataloging elements and content analysis. Staff needs to h o w what is important to mnsio scholars so that rhey, as catalog- can include that information m catalog recards.

The p a t twq~tyyears, the next twentyyears

Intnerreviewed mnsic cataloging acmmplishinents of the past twenty years and touched on fbb.ue possibies. Infner stated that the 1978 pnbE& of AACR2, which made it possible to integrate mles for non-book aud books, has become an all-time best sella m the h m world Music catalogers continue to be leaders m the field of cataloging. htner cited well-known catalogers who have ensured the continnation of both weU-trained catalogers and outstanding cataloging tools.

htner believes the WWW will wntinue to work well with music materials. Inmased access may include mnkbedia &ding tools, "music stations" that pmvide instant communication and allow users to select from a range and combination of formats- notation, sound, and visual images, including AV mcipits

In conclusion, Infner displayed a brief summary of 1150 job ads from Jannary 1996-July 1997. The breakdown for catalogers was 12.6% of the total. From that group, 14.8% were for thosewhose nsual duties would be cataloging; 85.2% included management respomiiMies; . 9.7% were with for-protit organizations.

Questions &Answers

Q. My main urncan wit6 ontsomced cataloging is that when cataloging was done in academic settings, catalogers had the research tools available to do the m depth work required to catalog correctly. How can vendors obtain the research resources they need to do proper music cataloging?

A. Vendors are trying hard to gather together staff with the e q d s e to tell them what they n d Very rarely do they balk at spendingmoney on resources ifthey know they need them. Generally speakiog, newer scholarly materials will be available on the web, the &erne<] or m electronic format. Vendors are faster at adopting that kind of data Its the rebrospective materials, older, historic materials that need to be purchased. Some vendors locate themselves near a great library or in an area where those resrmcff are available. Vendors will have to do a good job or they will go out of business. This is the wst of doing business.

Q. Ifyourvision ofthefotme takes place and catalogingmwes out of the hbrary into vendor workshops, what will happen to the next generation of catalogers? Where will they come h? Where will new catalogers go to gain expertise?

A Cmudy we are in an uncertain situation. Catalogers with s p u i a k d expatise are dwindling quickly. We don't have @ real place for b e g h h g catalogers to gain expertise from "masterq' music catalogers. Bgbt now it is a level playing field. A few catalogers are located in a lot of places but a large

number of catalogers are not located in one place together. If my vision of the future comes to pass (it is now only a trend), proiit aad non-pmM vendors will grow in size and s t r e in terms of expertise, and will become a locus for training a new generation of catalogers. While the new generation of catalogers may not be as hi& m number as the previous generation, it will be as high in quality and knowledge. If anything, future cataloging will be more diffcnlt doe to the proliferation of genres, formats, and representation. If my vision doesn't happen, cataloging departmeats won't gather strength and scholarship will be diluted That possibility wonies me much more than the p o s s i that vendors might take over and become the locus for future tr-.

Q. What salaries are vendors paying mnsic catalogers? What are the qdiiications required by vendors?

A My experkacewit6 anythmg OCLC-related is that they are tough about qualilicaiio~ls. People want to work for OCLC, and I suspect it's because they pay well. Over the last wnple of years the salary for beginning catalogers has ranged from about $24,000 to $40,000. Ven&m'have always been on the high end of that scale. The hard thing for en@ level catalogers, especially those with training m academic settings, is going &mu the atmosphexe of academia into what they perceive to be a very h i g h - p d situation. Vendors, notably OCLC, do better hhkg , at least in my experience with MOUG and OLAC. Training and standards will be high because the "dirtier" the database, the more unhappy customers are and the more work and unrest it makes for vendors. Doing a good job pays off for them in good will and future customers.

Q. What are you telling students just starting in hibrary school who say they want to be catalogers? I've heard stories of people &mnra@%g that

A I tell students to get as much expertise in cataloging as they can, and then as much experience as possible m management. They will have to know cataloging even if they don't do it In a scholarly institution they will always have to catalog some percmtage of materials because the institution will be the only place that has some items. Some p d o n of students will end up cataloging but it is highly W e l y they will do cataloging exclusively unless they work for a vendor or Harvard! Cataloging has become more challenging with non-book formats; so too is vendor cataloging becoming more challenging. Libraries are now outsourcjng the interating formats. I also tell students it is not unlikely tbkr job will be for a vendor as opposed to a college or university.

Q. One problem we% had wit6 a particular vendor is that after we talked with them for about eight months, they had a complete turnover m staff. There was no one left who was in the original p n p . To what extent do you see vendors providing a stable atmosphere for catalogers to work long

umghto be able to gain the experience that creates d o g i n g example, CONSER was taken over by OCLC after it was expertise? dropped by LC. Om lobbying efforts are so important We

need to let vendors do what they do best and not let them do A. That is a dillicnlt queslion. True, there has not been a lot of what they don't do best We're a very pow& force. We need recent turnover in the academic commur&. Now we're a to set the goals and agenda for music scholarship. Our agenda graying profession; it will not be so stabIe in the fntme. should be to promote schoIarship for ifthat lags, so too will Sixdents take their first catalogine iob and move out of it after resource needs. the first year or two. TI&&-& stable on top, but not underneath Vendors are growing, changing, and establishing a persona. Until they reach an optimal size there will be turnover. There will be a certain amount of instab'i over the next tive to eight years, with iwtitutiolls and with vendors. It will probably be another eight to ten years before we reach an equilibrium.

Q. Yontre mentioned that reference senice is an important experience for catalogers to have. Do you see a way for catalogen working for vendors to have that same sort of experience?

A. I think it is nnlikely. One of the drawbacks to working for vendors is yon mi#t only be able to do cataloging. Using all aspects of one's training and skills is what is exciting for me. Catalogers working for vendors will undoubtedly miss interaction with researchers For people who like to cataIog f w horn a week, the vendor may be the answer. The person w60 w& to htmactwith patrons can do some reference work as aconsnltant outside of business hours. Catalogers worldng for vendors can work wi& other SW if they do and they can branch out to cnstomer services as well. One could also become a "music information entrepreneur," although that is risky and requires commercial drive.

Q. Is the trend towad cooperative d o g i n g threatened if we outsource to vendas?
