Copy cataloging sheet maps

Copy cataloging sheet maps

Summary: This page describes actions taken in Connexion when copy cataloging sheet maps, after usable copy has been found.


 


Content to add to the master record

  • These are good to add to the master record in OCLC:

    • bounding box coordinates where lacking and when appropriate, in 034 and 255 fields

      • Note: add ǂ2 bound at the end of the 034 when Klokan Bounding Box tool is used

  • Appropriate LCGFT headings in 655_7 fields (in straightforward cases)

    • F11 controls these individually

  • Spelling/typo corrections.

After making 034/255/655/spelling edits

  • Alt+F11 to Replace record and update holdings

    • Alternatively: Alt+F10 to replace record, F8 to update holdings.

Local edits

  • Remaining changes to the record are specific to our catalog only. The OCLC master record shouldn’t be replaced from this point forward.

  • Additions:

    • Add 090 field for LC call number (any existing 090 field can be deleted/replaced).

    • Add 099 field for AGS number

    • Add 949 field with item creation codes and work stats

  • Removals: (Alt+Delete to delete fields):

    • 530 fields referring to digital versions of a paper map

      • Example language in a 530 field: “Available also through the Library of Congress Web site as a raster image.”

    • 856 fields containing URLs pointing to digital versions of a paper map

    • 655s IF they contain “FAST” terms that duplicate 655s containing LCGFTs

      • Example: If a record contains both:

        • 655_7 Maps. ǂ2 lcgft

        • 655_7 Maps. ǂ2 fast ǂ0 (OCoLC)fst01423704

        • Delete the field containing the FAST heading.

        • (Non-duplicative 655 FAST fields, and FAST terms in fields 650/651/etc, may be left alone.)
