RDA Cataloging Rules for Pseudonyms with MARC 21 Examples
by Salman Haider 21 Mar '15

21 Mar '15

New post on RDA Blog <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com> : RDA Cataloging Rules for Pseudonyms with MARC 21 Examples <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> This article answers following frequently asked questions about cataloging practice of pseudonyms in Resource Description and Access (RDA), a new library cataloging standard replacing Anglo-American Cataloging Rules. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Library of Congress / Program for Cooperative Cataloging practice for creating Name Authority Records (NARs) <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AUTHORITY%20R…>for persons who use Pseudonyms <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> : Q1. How many NARs <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AUTHORITY%20R…> are needed for contemporary persons who usepseudonyms <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> ? Q2. How do I decide which name to choose as the basic heading when creating NARs for a person with multiple pseudonyms <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…>? (DCM Z1 663— Complex see-also reference—Names) Q3. Is it required to make a NAR <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AUTHORITY%20R…> for every pseudonym <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> associated with a contemporary person? Some persons purport to have ten or more pseudonyms but in my catalog we only have works under one or two of those names – are there limits set on the number of NARs required? (DCM Z1 667 Cataloger Note section) Q4. Should the 663 note technique also be used in a corporate name NAR when providing 500 see-also references for the members of a group? (RDA Chapter 30) Q5. Can the 663 note be used without coding the 500 field with subfield $w nnnc? (MARC 21 Format for Authority Records, 663 field) Q6. What about creating NARs for non-contemporary persons? Where is the guidance? Q7. What about different real names used concurrently by authors? Q8. How do I handle a situation when a pseudonym conflicts with another name and there is no information to add to either name to differentiate them? Do I create an undifferentiated NAR (or add the name to an undifferentiated NAR if it already exists)? Do I add the prescribed 663 note as well as the 500 coded “nnnc” to the undifferentiated NAR? Q9. How do I handle LC classification numbers: Do I add the same LCC (053) on each NAR of a pseudonym? What if the pseudonym <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> is used on non-literary works?

Koha implementation at libraries affiliated to Kerala State Library Council
by Sriram V 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Dear All, The Kerala State Library Council (KSLC) is an autonomous body under the Higher Education Department of Govt. of Kerala. It is the statutory apex body of public libraries in the state. KSLC is the successor of ‘Kerala Grandhasala Sanghom’ formed by the amalgamation of libraries which were functioning in the erstwhile Travancore, Cochin and Malabar regions in Kerala. KSLC is constituted through a democratic process giving representation to all public libraries in the state and functions as the core of the cultural life of Kerala. The total number of libraries affiliated to the KSLC so far is around 7500. The KSLC is embarking on a programme of computerizing the affiliated public libraries. An Expert Committee was constituted by KSLC for this purpose. This automation programme is planned to be rolled out in two phases. In the first phase the Koha Open Source Software will be customized in Malayalam and deployed in selected affiliated libraries on the basis of e-readiness. In the second phase there will be a statewide roll-out, covering all the affiliated libraries. The vendor for software customization, implementation and training was selected though a two-part national bid process. M/s. Orisys India Consultancy Services (http://orisys.in/) based in Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram came out as the successful bidder. Koha will be customized, installed and maintained in the State Data Centre, and libraries will be able access it through Internet and carry out their day to day activities. This will also ensure that the librarians are free from the burden of server / software maintenance, updation, backup and so on. In the event of Internet failure, the offline transaction tool will be used to capture the transaction data and will be subsequently transferred to the database once the connection gets restored. Several new features are being provided including interface in Malayalam, option to collect annual (periodical) membership fee subscription etc. After implementation, they will be provided to the Koha Community for the benefit of all Koha users. The training programme for the librarians of the selected libraries was held during 28-Feb to 01-Mar at Thiruvananthapuram. The participants were given intensive hand-on training in using Koha. Shri Thomson A. J., Librarian, Devagiri College, Kozhikode, and Shri Prasanth M. P., Librarian, Chinmaya Institute of Technology, Kannur were the Resource Persons. The inauguration of the automation programme will be held on 20th March 2015. Renowned poet and activist Smt. Sugathakumari will officially launch the programme at a function to be held at Conference Hall, Govt. Guest House, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram at 10.00a.m. The customized web-page of KSLC with catalogue is accessible here http://kslc.in/ To visit the web-page of various libraries please go to the menu ‘Libraries’ and filter using District and then by Taluk. Feedback and comments are always welcome to improve the service. Kindly email to keralaslc(a)gmail.com Thanks and Regards, V.
