Olac Capc Moving Image Work-Level Records Task Force Final Report And Recommendations, Part Iv: Extracting Work-Level Information From Existing Marc Manifestation Records, Kelley Mcgrath, Susannah Benedetti, Karen Gorss Benko, Lynne Bisko, Greta De Groat, Scott M. Dutkiewicz, Ngoc-My Guidarelli, Jeannette Ho, Nancy Lorimer, Scott Piepenburg, Thelma Ross, Walt Walker

OLAC Publications and Training Materials

This subgroup of the Moving Image Work-Level Records Task Force of Online Audiovisual Catalogers (OLAC) Cataloging Policy Committee (CAPC) was charged with identifying places in MARC manifestation-level bibliographic records where work-level information may be encoded and examining a sample of MARC records to see how reliably this information might be extrapolated from existing records. Currently we do not have work-level records for moving images, except for a relatively small number of uniform title authority records, which usually contain only title information. Moving image uniform title authority records usually represent works, but tend to include only enough information to uniquely identify …

OLAC Publications and Training Materials

The Moving Image Work-Level Records Task Force of Online Audiovisual Catalogers (OLAC) Cataloging Policy Committee (CAPC) was charged with investigating and making recommendations on issues related to FRBR-based work-level records for moving image materials, including, but not limited to:

• Identifying characteristics of moving image works (possibly with some indication of relative importance) that should be included in work-level records and creating operational definitions of these characteristics.
  
  
• Identifying potential sources of information about these characteristics and examining the reliability of these sources.
  
  
• Examining existing bibliographic records to identify places where work-level information might be recorded and investigating the possibility of extracting …

Guide To Cataloging Playaway Devices Based On Aacr2 Chapters 6 And 9, Heidi Frank, Bill Anderson, Joe Bartl, Robert B. Freeborn, Jay Weitz

OLAC Publications and Training Materials

Playaway devices were developed in 2005 by Findaway World LLC. (http://store.playawaydigital.com/). A Playaway is described as a “self-playing digital audio book” and is a device that contains a pre-loaded audio file in a proprietary format called ACELP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_Code_Excited_Linear_Prediction). The device requires one AAA battery and a set of earphones for playback and listening. Playaways contain almost exclusively spoken word recordings, but some musical content is available as well. According to the distributor, the focus of Playaways will remain audiobooks. Given the nature of a Playaway device, these materials include aspects of both sound recordings and electronic resources. They should be …

Introduction To Cataloging Electronic Integrating Resources: An Online Training Presentation, Cataloging Policy Committee

OLAC Publications and Training Materials

This online training presentation is meant to serve as an introductory overview to orient catalogers to the AACR2 rules and MARC codes which were new for integrating resources (IRs). It is not a detailed training tutorial. Keeping with the mission and scope of OLAC, the focus is on electronic IRs, with an addendum on what is districtive for print IRs (loose-leafs).

Source Of Title Note For Internet Resources, Steven Miller, Greta De Groat, Susan Leister

OLAC Publications and Training Materials

The purpose of this document is to address this situation, for the sake of greater consistency in cooperative cataloging and record sharing, by providing:

• a brief selected list of terms commonly used for source of title and a definition of each
  
  
• a clarification of common sources and which of these commonly-used terms refer to the same source

Summary Notes For Catalog Records, Sheryl Holmes, Lisa Bodenheimer, Jeannette Ho, Rebecca Lubas, Sueyoung Park-Primiano, Virginia Rasbold, Gene Kinnaly, Karen Plummer, Robert Bratton

OLAC Publications and Training Materials

A summary note is a brief description of a resource. In most formats, it is an optional note under AACR2, but it becomes especially important when contents cannot be easily examined, as in videos, motion pictures, sound recordings, archival collections, and electronic resources. An abstract is more extensive, and can be a stand-alone source of information about the resource. It is a rich source of keywords for electronic retrieval. The two terms are increasingly used together or interchangeably in guidelines for catalogers for use of the MARC tag 520, and the definitions are sometimes merged to allow for more detail …

The Subcommittee on Authority Tools designed this list to bring together, in one place, descriptions of information sources that are useful when developing authorized headings to support audiovisual and music catalog records. Work began on this project in 1999, and the list was released in 2001. It became a historical OLAC document in 2020. Please note that links in this document were active in 2001 and may no longer exist currently.
