*Glossary of Library Cataloguing terms*
1. *LC or LoC *(Library of Congress)
The Library of Congress is the main research arm of the U.S. Congress and
the home of the U.S. Copyright Office. The Library of Congress is the
largest library in the world, with millions of books, recordings,
photographs, newspapers, maps and manuscripts in its collections.
The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) provides an alphabetical
listing of authorized or preferred terms established by the Library of
Congress since 1898.
2. *NLM *(National Library of Medicine)
NLM is the central coordinating body for clinical terminology standards
within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of the United
States.
The genesis of the NLM Classification is a Survey Report on the Army
Medical Library, published in 1944, which recommended that the “(medical)
Library be reclassified according to a modern scheme," and that the new
scheme be a mixed notation (letters and numbers) resembling that of the
Library of Congress.
The National Library of Medicine Classification covers the field of
medicine and related sciences, utilizing schedules QS-QZ and W-WZ,
permanently excluded from the Library of Congress (LC) Classification
schedules.
3. *RDA *(Resource Description and Access)
RDA was launched in 2010 and is a new standard for resource description and
access, designed for the digital world. RDA has been developed to replace
the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd Edition Revised, which were first
published in 1978.
Changes were made to the MARC 21 format to accommodate RDA elements.
The British Library implemented RDA 1st April 2013 and coordinated
implementation of RDA with national and international partners.
4. *MARC *(MAchine-Readable Cataloging)
MARC standards are a set of digital formats for the description of items
catalogued by libraries, such as books. Working with the Library of
Congress, American computer scientist Henriette Avram developed MARC in the
1960s to create records that could be read by computers and shared among
libraries.
By 1971, MARC formats had become the US national standard for dissemination
of bibliographic data. Two years later, they became the international
standard.
There are several versions of MARC in use around the world, the most
predominant being MARC 21, created in 1999 as a result of the harmonization
of U.S. and Canadian MARC formats, and UNIMARC, widely used in Europe.
5. *UNIMARC*
The UNIMARC format was first published in 1977. The primary purpose of
UNIMARC is to facilitate the international exchange of bibliographic data
in machine-readable form between national bibliographic agencies.
The scope of UNIMARC is to specify the content designators (tags,
indicators and subfield codes) to be assigned to bibliographic records in
machine-readable form and to specify the logical and physical format of the
records. It covers monographs, serials, cartographic materials, music,
sound recordings, graphics, projected and video materials, rare books and
electronic resources.
6. *MARC 21*
MARC 21 was designed to redefine the original MARC record format for the
21st century and to make it more accessible to the international community.
MARC 21 has formats for the following five types of data: Bibliographic
Format, Authority Format, Holdings Format, Community Format, and
Classification Data Format.[2] Currently MARC 21 has been implemented
successfully by The British Library, the European Institutions and the
major library institutions in the United States, and Canada.
7. *MARCEdit*
An open source system for manipulating and checking MARC records, created
by US librarian Terry Reese in 1999 and maintained by him.
8. *KBART *(Knowledge Base and Related Tools)
The KBART initiative, commissioned by NISO and UKSG, created at set of
guidelines in order to help share
metadata about electronic materials between publishers, link resolvers, and
libraries. The result of these
guidelines was KBART files, which include full title, issn, and other
information about specific publications.
KBART files are the industry standard file format for knowledgebase, and
providing title list files in this format
Link resolvers and librarians can download and use these files in order to
update their records and holdings and ensure that end users have accurate
information about accessible materials.
9. *DDC (23) *(Dewey Decimal Classification)
The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), or Dewey Decimal System, is a
proprietary library classification system first published in the United
States by Melvil Dewey in 1876. It has been revised and expanded through 23
major editions, the latest issued in 2011, and has grown from a four-page
pamphlet in 1876. It is also available in an abridged version suitable for
smaller libraries. It is currently maintained by the Online Computer
Library Center (OCLC), a non-profit cooperative that serves libraries.
