[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cataloging Audio Visual equipment

[Hardy, Elaine]

PINES catalogers catalog equipment for circulation frequently. However, we
do our original cataloging on OCLC and bring the record into PINES. We
don't catalog directly into PINES unless the item is ephemeral in nature
and won't be retained.

 

The Type would be r : "Three-dimensional artifact or naturally occurring
object. Models, dioramas, games, puzzles, simulations, sculptures and
other three-dimensional art works, exhibits, machines, clothing, toys, and
stitchery." See http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/type.shtm and
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html 

 

Call numbers are up to individual libraries in PINES and are dependent on
the needs of their patrons and the library staff. So we see a wide
variation in how equipment and realia are classified. Some use AV, some
are specific - 16MM projector, some are just EQUIPMENT.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cataloging Audio Visual equipment

 

Is anyone cataloging and circulating audio visual equipment with
Evergreen?

If so, would you share what you are using for a fixed field 'type'?

We are interested in putting these records in the first time ( ;D) in such
a way that our patrons will have a filter or an easy way to locate all the
AV equipment in the catalog. How will they be able to search just for AV?
By call number, call number prefix.

Thanks for all suggestions etc.
Trisha
