Non-English & Parallel Records CAMCIG Training March 3, 2009 Presenter: Sara Shatford Layne

Thank you to … Linda Barnhart, UCSD, and Xiaoli Li, UCD, who worked with Sara to develop the content of the training Valerie Bross, UCLA, for help with Elluminate Cynthia Whitacre and Brenda Block, OCLC, for answering questions about parallel records

What is a “non-English record”? “ Non-English” describes the language of cataloging, not the language of the material being cataloged

Language of Cataloging 040 ǂb. Examples: 040 XXX ǂb spa ǂc XXX 040 XXX ǂb ger ǂc XXX 040 XXX ǂc XXX

Language of the Material

A Non-English record … 040 ǂb with value other than ‘eng’ 245 may contain non-English data in the ǂh 3xx fields may contain non-English data 5xx field(s) may contain non-English data (excluding quoted material) Descriptive access points may be in non-AACR2 form and/or include non-English data in ǂe

What about subject headings? Language of subject headings does not affect language of cataloging Ignore 6xx fields when determining language of cataloging

Questions??

What is a “parallel record”? Not the same as a record with parallel fields for roman and non-roman script.

NOT (necessarily) a parallel record

Parallel Records One or more records cataloged using a language other than English already exist Indicate existence of parallel record(s) by using a 936 field consisting of “PR” and the OCLC number of the other record(s)

Examples of 936 fields (NR) (from OCLC Bibliographic formats and standards) One parallel record identified: 936 __ PR Two parallel records identified 936 __ PR

Example of record with 936 field 040 __ XXX ǂc XXX ǂd XXX Antología de textos, la reforma y el segundo imperio ( ) / ǂc introducción y selección de textos, Silvestre Villegas Revueltas. 260 __ México, D.F. : ǂb Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, ǂc __ xxxvii, 424 p. : ǂb maps ; ǂc 18 cm _ Biblioteca del estudiante universitario ; ǂv _ Cultura e historia mexicanas 651 _0 Mexico ǂx History ǂy ǂv Sources. 651 _0 Mexico ǂx History ǂy European intervention, ǂv Sources. 653 __ México ǂa Historia ǂa Siglo XVIII 700 1_ Villegas Revueltas, Silvestre. 830 _0 Biblioteca del estudiante universitario (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México) ; ǂv _0 Cultura e historia mexicanas. 936 __ PR

Questions?

OCLC Policy for non-English records DON’T EDIT NON-ENGLISH RECORDS (but they say it more politely)

Which means … Don’t delete data Don’t add data Don’t convert data in another language to English Don’t control headings Don’t ‘correct’ cataloging ‘errors’

Are Vendor Records Different? Vendor records used to be treated differently, but now they are treated the same as any other record If a vendor record qualifies as a non-English record– DON’T EDIT IT

But what about Hybrid records? What is a “hybrid record”?

OCLC’s definition “A hybrid record contains descriptive cataloging data in more than one language” Note: This quote, subsequent quotes attributed to OCLC, and examples labelled as “from OCLC” are from Section 3.10 of OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards.

A “hybrid record” … Has some elements that are consistent with cataloging in one language … But also has other elements that are consistent with cataloging in a different language

What to do with a hybrid? Choices: (A) Edit to be consistently in English OR (B) Create an English-language record and report the hybrid to OCLC OR (C) Create an English-language record and correct the 040 field in the hybrid

Reporting Hybrid Records to: OR Use the Report Error function in the Action menu in Connexion

How to decide which choice to make? Factors to consider (OCLC recommends): “The intent of the cataloging agency”– that is, is the library in the 040 ‡a a library in a country that uses a language other than English? “The number of descriptive cataloging elements in different languages”– that is, if almost all the record is consistent with one language, but one small element is in another language, assume that the one element is the error

Three more factors to consider What is the language of the other libraries with holdings set on the record? Could the record have been improperly edited by another library after it was input? If so, was the editing within the last several months? Is the problem simply a “coding error” in the 040 $b?

Example 1 (from OCLC) 040 S3O‡b swe ‡c S3O e-uk Oulton, Carolyn. ‡d Literature and religion in mid-Victorian England : ‡b from Dickens to Eliot / ‡c Carolyn Oulton. 260 __ Houndmills, Hampshire ‡a New York : ‡b Palgrave Macmillan, ‡c __ 221 s. 504 __ Includes bibliographical references and index Religion och litteratur ‡z England ‡x historia ‡y 1800-talet. ‡2 sao Engelsk religiös litteratur ‡x historia ‡y 1800-talet. ‡2 sao

Additional information S3O is the code for the National Library of Sweden

Which do you choose? Choices: (A) Edit to be consistently in English OR (B) Create an English-language record and report the hybrid to OCLC OR (C) Create an English-language record and correct the 040 field in the hybrid

OCLC says … (B) If your language of cataloging is Swedish, change the 504 field to Swedish and use the record for your cataloging If your language of cataloging is English, create a new English-language record and report this record for correction

Example 2 from OCLC 040 MXADN ‡c MXADN HB142 ‡b.M Metodologías para la estimación matemática de la matriz de insumo-producto simétrica : ‡b (a partir de las matrices de oferta y utilización asimétricas en una economía abierta) / ‡c Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía e Informática. 260 __ Aguascalientes, Ags. ; México : ‡b INEGI, ‡c __160 p. : ‡b cuadros ; ‡c 28 cm. 504 __ Bibliografía: p

Additional information MXADN is the code for Universidad Autónoma de Nayarit (in Mexico)

Which do you choose? Choices: (A) Edit to be consistently in English OR (B) Create an English-language record and report the hybrid to OCLC OR (C) Create an English-language record and correct the 040 field in the hybrid

OCLC says … (C) If your language of cataloging is Spanish, add to the 040: “‡b spa” and use the record for your cataloging If your language of cataloging is English, create a new English-language record and add “‡b spa” to the 040 field of the existing record

Example __ PL# ǂb spa ǂc PL# ǂd XXX 100 1_ Molins, Manuel, ǂd Monopatins : ǂb (Skaters) / ǂc Manuel Molins ; introducció, Fracesc Foguet. 260 __ Alzira, Valencia : ǂb Bromera, ǂc [2006]. 300 __ 111 p. : ǂb ill. ; ǂc 21 cm. 440 _0 Bromera Teatro ; ǂv __ Anexos. 504 __ Includes bibliographical references (p. 111).

Additional information PL# is the code for Puvill Libros The holdings attached to this record in OCLC are all English-speaking libraries (except for Puvill Libros, which is a Spanish-language vendor) The record was (partly) edited by library XXX to be in English sometime in 2007

Which do you choose? Choices: (A) Edit to be consistently in English OR (B) Create an English-language record and report the hybrid to OCLC OR (C) Create an English-language record and correct the 040 field in the hybrid

Sara says … (A) If your language of cataloging is English, delete from the 040: “‡b spa”, convert the 500 field to English (or delete the 500 field) and use the record for your cataloging

When in doubt … Create a new record and report the hybrid; OR Report the hybrid to OCLC and wait for their decision before proceeding

Questions?

UC (CAMCIG) policy regarding use of non-English records DON’T. Or, at least, try very hard not to.

Because … In the networked/WCL/NGM environment, it is preferable that we all attach our holdings to the same WorldCat record;

And because … The time spent devising and applying policies for sometimes using non-English records is likely to be more time-consuming than the occasional use of the Derive process to create an English record

Questions?

How to create a parallel record Step 1. Copy the OCLC number from the non- English record. Step 2. Create/derive a new record from the existing non-English record Step 3. Add a 936 field to the new record (Note that it is not necessary to add a reciprocal 935 field to the existing record) And …

Finally … Step 4. EDIT CAREFULLY: different cataloging rules are likely to have been used in the creation of a non-English record. Some possible differences: Different rules for abbreviations in transcribed fields Different rules for forms of name and relator terms Different practices regarding series
