4. What are three-dimensional artifacts and realia? “Three-dimensional objects of all kinds (other than those covered in previous chapters), including models, dioramas, games, braille cassettes, sculptures, and other three-dimensional art works, exhibits, machines, and clothing…naturally occurring objects, including microscope specimens and other specimens mounted for viewing.” – AACR2, Chapter 10

6. What’s so hard about cataloging these items? They are different from what we are used to cataloging A great deal of cataloger’s judgment is needed

Mixtures of various components issued as a unit and intended primarily for instructional purposes. No one component is identifiable as the predominant component. Examples are packages of assorted materials, such as a set of K–12 social studies curriculum material (books, workbooks, guides, activities, etc.) or packages of educational test materials (tests, answer sheets, scoring guides, score charts, interpretative manuals, etc.).

MARC review for All Fields Tags Indicate what kind of information is included in each field Indicators Digits or blanks that give the computer instructions or information about the data contained in the field Delimiters Precede each subfield, usually denoted with $, #, _, or #.

138. A Final Note on Cataloging Three-Dimensional Items “The perfect is the enemy of the good.” --Voltaire Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chemheritage/3200074302/
139. A Final Note on Cataloging Three-Dimensional Items “While we want our cataloging to be done correctly, the more important word of the two (done and correctly) is ‘done.’ Make a decision, and then go on to the next. Once a decision is made, don’t go back to it. Get the cataloging done.” Nancy Olson, Cataloging of Audiovisual Materials and Other Special Materials: A Manual Based on AACR2.
This is the first time I’m teaching this class, so any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
AACR2 was mainly meant to handle books. Chapter 10 relates to three-dimensional objects, but it’s still sort of within the framework of rules set up for print materials. Thus, a lot of cataloger’s judgment is needed. In a way, what’s hard is also what’s fun. Also, we can all learn from each other’s experiences. I’d like to promote sharing of ideas in this class.
Here are the descriptions from OCLC’s Bibliographic Formats and Standards about the four type codes that can be used for visual materials.
Questions on Section 1?
Some of these we will just touch on, as there is nothing different about them when used for three-dimensional objects.
Questions about section 2?
Of the title fields, we are just going to talk about 245 and 246.
Notice the phrase “chief source of information”
Information on the item itself is preferred to information from accompanying material, but it all counts as the chief source of information.
No punctuation between title proper and GMD.
Usually, a subtitle will be the other title information. Precede a subtitle with space colon space.
Space slash space before the statement of responsibility.
1 = title added entry, 0 = no title added entry
245 always ends with period. Questions about title and statement of responsibility?
Varying form of the title can also include portions of the title.
Varying form of the title can also include portions of the title. Don’t include initial articles, since there is no way to indicate nonfiling characters with this field.
Questions about varying title?
Questions about edition area?
This is the only area where the rules are unique to chapter 10.
Abbreviationsfor state are given in AACR2.Same rules as far as place in your own country first.
Abbreviationsfor state are given in AACR2.Same rules as far as place in your own country first.
This is the only area where the rules are unique to chapter 10.Abbreviations for state are given in AACR2.Same rules as far as place in your own country first.
It sometimes can be difficult to tell which company fulfills which role. Some research might be involved.
Questions about publication area?
Some of these we will just touch on, as there is nothing different about them when used for three-dimensional objects.
You’ve probably noticed that although the same terms are used they mean different things for different types of items.
You don’t have to list all of the pieces here; you can list them in a note later.
Questions about physical description area?
You probably won’t see a series statement too often with three-dimensional objects.
Questions about series area?
There are others in AACR2, but these are the ones that we are going to look at today.
“to be used to name or explain the form of the item as necessary.”
If you want to make an added entry, the information has to be in the record.
Objective summary
Only include an audience note if the audience is stated on the item.
Notes end in punctuation.
Sometimes, indicators are defined for these fields, but they generate display constants not usually seen in realia records. Questions about notes?
Main entries and added entries are covered in AACR2, Chapter 21, Choice of Access Points.
Questions about main and added entries?
Questions about subject headings?
Questions about control fields?
I would add that to a certain extent, “consistently” = “correctly”. Be consistent in how you catalog items of the same type, so your patrons will know what to expect from your catalog.
