Examine domain-specific research about works and the problems inherent in their storage and retrieval! This book addresses the issue of focusing on known-item identification and retrieval vs. collocation and retrieval of works in the construction of catalogs. Works as Entities for Information Retrieval reports significant research on the role of works as key entities for information retrieval, focusing on the importance of works in information-need and the importance of recognizing and using the work entity in the construction of bibliographic databases, Internet search engines, etc. This single source brings together librarians and scholars from around the world—the United States, Denmark, Canada, Australia, and India—to examine the most recent research on works and on systems to facilitate their retrieval. They share their expertise on essential aspects of works cataloging, including: • record clustering for works of fiction • ways to define and categorize video works • conceptualizing the bibliographic record as text • the semiotics of scientific works • performed works and AACR2R • ways to catalog scientific models • cataloging digitized rare books and electronic texts • cataloging cartographic materials as works—with three fascinating case studies • and more! Works as Entities for Information Retrieval will bring you up to date on essential aspects of works-related cataloging, including analyzing networks of related works; canonicity and the rate of evolution of works; epistemology and taxonomy; user-stipulated interaction with catalog displays of works; searcher-defined attributes of bibliographic works; works in relation to digital resources; and domain-specific analyses of video, scientific, cartographic, performance, theological, and digital works.

Following the publication of the second edition of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules in 1989, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) presented a series of regional institutes developed to help librarians better understand and implement the 1988 rule revisions. "Origins, Content and Future" is based on the materials presented at the institutes. The papers are presented in three parts; the first part discusses the origins of the 1988 Revision, the second delineates the contents of the revision. The third part is a symposium on the future of the AACR featuring a visionary contribution from Michael Gorman, editor of AACR2. Assembled to make these interpretations available to all library professionals and students, this work aims to help everyone who needs to better understand and utilize AACR2.

Here is an informative new volume that celebrates the increasing use and influence of the MARC format for Archives and Manuscript Control (AMC). As the format and its companion, the online archival catalog, gain acceptance among archivists, several major issues evolve, including the adoption and adaptation of standards for archival control data and the acceptance of archival control techniques for use in library collections. This is an important volume for library cataloguers, who in order to make use of the archival control techniques embodied in the AMC format must be familiar with basic techniques of archival collections management, and archivists, who might need basic instruction in relevant library cataloging techniques. Describing Archival Materials presents the principles and techniques that describe the control of both textual and non-textual materials. Each chapter, where appropriate, contains examples of AMC records to illustrate various techniques. In examining control of textual materials, the authors: • outline the requisite details of archival description, including the construction of finding aids and the representation of archival collections in catalogs according to the recognized standard, APPM • explain the concepts of intellectual responsibility and the basic concepts of choice and formulation of access points, derived directly from AACR2 • provide an archival translation of basic indexing concepts such as subject analysis and indexing depth, all written within the context of LCSH • explore the concepts of authority control of both names and subjects • consider design issues that contributed to the construction of the format and focus on appropriate methods of content designation for archival descriptions • discuss the development of archival information systems, in particular focusing on archival management features and problems inherent in attempts to design systems that integrate archival and bibliographic records Three chapters also highlight archival control of nontextual materials--visual images (photographs and films), sound recordings, and cartographic materials.
