[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cataloging Audio Visual equipment

[Hardy, Elaine]

Trisha,

 

Sorry I haven't responded sooner. 

 

Call numbers in standard fields (050, 082, etc), with some caveats, are
indexed by default as keyword searches. I don't know for sure that an 099
or 090, for example, would be indexed. 082s with a 2nd  indicator of 4 are
not indexed as keyword searches and 050 2nd indicator 4 are probably also
not keyword indexed (we're Dewey so I haven't confirmed how LCC functions
in Evergreen). But you might be able index them for your setup. There is
also the call number browse in the quick search - if is the only one of
the quick searches that can be filtered by owning library.

Elaine,
Thanks so much for your info! My other question is how does Evergreen
handle indexing of the call number assigned - the ultimate question being
how easily are those records found by patrons when they search. 

Does Evergreen index the call numbers so a keyword search can be done?

Thanks!!
Trisha

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.

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
