Re: [LIS-Forum] Database Vs. Website

If you carefully look at the examples provided in the Australian National Bibliographic Database Manual, the field data for 007, 336, 337 and 338 are the fields with controlled terms, is mostly same in both cases (website and database). In other descriptive fields, it depends upon the resource you are cataloguing and the information about the database/website available with you. For example, if access period of ScienceDirect is for specific period it can be mentioned in the 362 field. The specific type of resources (video, database, website etc) are generally managed in different softwares through local fields (9XX) or local database structure which is mostly for local use and may not be common across all softwares.

My main concern is to first decide the type of resources which I get confused with sciencedirect, whether it should be treated as a website or database. There are some minor differences while cataloguing these resources as per many documents available over the Internet like below.

It's difficult to decide the type of resource first then finding suitable tags in MARC/RDA for each entity like online streaming videos, videos , etc. Sometimes what is given is missing the tag number from ILMS, etc. Probably these resources are generally not covered/taught under our LIS syllabus but i am not sure.

Thanks.

Is there any specific provision available in MARC/RDA for such distinction between website and database. In terms of MARC tags, I could only find the 007 tag for the same. You can explore the details for 007 - Electronic Resource (R) at http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd007c.html The RDA content type ( http://www.loc.gov/standards/valuelist/rdacontent.html) also do not provide any such differentiation.

Thanks a lot sir, actually i wish to know this in context of cataloguing such resources. Should we put under website or database or web portal or any other classification of types under RDA/AACR2 and the relevant MARC tags.

Just trying to discover all above.

Dear all

Please clarify my doubt with logic.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/ is a Database or Website?
