Cataloger's Toolkit
by Sonya Maclaurin 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Dear Cataloguers, I was wondering if people who use Gary Strawn's Cataloger's Toolkit could give me an idea of how they use it? e.g.: Do your original and copy-cataloguers use the BAM report regularly as part of the daily cataloguing workflow? Do you use the heading changes functionality in Correction Receiver? Which other features do you use regularly? ...or do you use the toolkit on an occasional basis for projects? And once you have established the configuration for the features you want to use, is it more straightforward to replicate it for an upgrade than it was to establish it in the first place? Any information about the above (or reasons for deciding not to use it) would be welcome, and I could collate responses for the list. Kind regards, Sonya Maclaurin Sonya Maclaurin Bibliographic Access & Metadata Librarian University of Otago Library PO Box 56 Dunedin 9016 NEW ZEALAND ph (03) 479 4974, fax (03) 479 7640 email sonya.maclaurin(a)otago.ac.nz

Music Classifications
by Chris Todd 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

The National Library of New Zealand classifies its General music scores collection using the McColvin classification scheme. The Alexander Turnbull Library scores are arranged using an in-house system. At present, National Library cataloguers add McColvin classification numbers to all bibliographic records for music scores, including those for the Alexander Turnbull Library, on the assumption that this information is useful to other libraries. We would like to test this assumption by asking music librarians or music cataloguers for your responses to the following questions: 1. Do you use the McColvin classification for the scores in your library? 2. If the answer to the first question is Yes, do you find it helpful that the National Library of New Zealand includes this classification in all records for published scores? 3. If the answer to the first question is No, what system do you use for classifying your scores? Your responses will help us to decided whether to continue our current practice or to limit our assigning of McColvin numbers to the scores that we arrange by this scheme. Thank you Chris Todd Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1, Content Services, National Library of New Zealand.
