Thanks Brian and Christine. I couldn't see for looking! Still nothing specific for dear old Boggs and Lewis but at least I have the list. We can make decisions from there.

Holdings 852 $2 Code list
by Pamela Treanor 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Hallo Cataloguers, Does anyone know where I can find a code list for values to go in the $2 subfield of the 852 field in a holdings record, if I were to use the first indicator "7" e.g. 852 7_ $b CMap $h 830 $2 (Boggs & Lewis) or am I completely on the wrong tack as far as the usage of this goes? Trouble is, there is no value in the first indicator list for Boggs and Lewis. We've been (ouch!) using "1", the Dewey code as the nearest thing.

Cataloguing Advice Needed in Mexico
by kate Innes 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi there, I'm a New Zealand librarian currently living in Mexico City. I recently started working for a company that sells e books and e book software to libraries in Latin America (the Overdrive software that Auckland City Libraries has). Part of my job is to create MARC records for the e books that the company sells via Overdrive. I'm relatively new to cataloguing, and as there are no other librarians here in the company, I'm wondering if someone on this list would be kind enough to help me with a query relating to the cataloguing of e books (more specifically field 533). I've searched the internet but can't find an exact answer to my question. If there is someone out there who has experience in cataloguing e books, and would be willing to help me with a (very brief!) question, (or can advise me who I might approach), I would love to hear from you at kinnes(a)librisite.com. Many thanks and warm regards from Mexico, Kate Innes Librisite de México, S.A. de C.V. Tel. 5272 6806 Email: kinnes(a)librisite.com

LIBRARY BIBS CLEANUP
by Humesh Prasad 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hi All, We would like to hear from anyone who has had a library database cleanup. We are interested to find out what you did, how you did it and what is your maintenance programme. There about 135,000 bib records on our database created over a period of time. Some records are not quite consistent with the international standards. What we aim to achieve is a high standard of bib records on our database and name and subject authority files consistent with Library of Congress standards. We are currently on Horizon. The cleanup is planned to satisfy immediate requirements and also prepare the database should we need to move the record to a different system in future. We would also like to know if you know of any one who provides for the kind of service we are looking for. We are aware of Library Technologies, Inc (USA) who provide such service. Please e-mail me or give me a phone contact and I will be in touch with you. The contact details are below. Thanks Humesh Prasad Technical Services Coordinator Whangarei Libraries E-mail: humeshp(a)wdc.govt.nz Phone: 09 4304206 or 027 325 3174 ==================================================================== Caution: This e-mail message and accompanying data may contain information that is confidential and subject to privilege.

Apologies for cross posting New challenges, new opportunities for the right cataloguing librarian The Library Supply Company needs an enthusiastic and highly motivated librarian for a full-time position in our bibliographic services team. You probably know of us because we provide services to public libraries and schools throughout New Zealand. We specialise in the supply of large print and unabridged audio books. We also supply music CDs, DVDs, language learning courses and other audio visual materials. Our clients rely on us increasingly for collection management and cataloguing services ... and that's where you come in. We'd like to hear from you if you have expertise in: * MARC format * AACR2 (level 2) * Non-print materials - music CDs, DVD and multimedia * Cataloguing for New Zealand public library collections You'll be cataloguing a range of formats - especially AV materials - in a variety of databases. You'll also be working with client libraries to help them establish clear cataloguing specifications. We'll be relying on your excellent IT skills, a near-obsessive respect for deadlines and the ability to prioritise and organise work. Familiarity with at least one major Library Management System would be an advantage. The money's highly competitive. The working conditions are great - you'll be part of our small, friendly team in Grey Lynn, Auckland.
