1 Report of the Standard Citation Forms (SCF) Revision Working Report of the Standard Citation Forms (SCF) Revision Working Group June 7, 2011 Background The proposal to expand the form of citation entries in Standard citation forms for rare book cataloging was presented to BSC at 2008 Annual. This proposal was created by Barbara Tillett (LC Policy and Standards Division), Deborah Leslie (Folger Shakespeare Library), and Elizabeth Robinson (LC Rare Materials Section) with the motivation of making the current, highly abbreviated (sometimes cryptic) citation forms more plainly understandable. The draft called for the following citation form, with the idea of following the AACR2 main entry form as much as possible: Corporate name or surname with initial(s). Title proper unabbreviated. OR Title proper unabbreviated. It also stated that parenthetical qualifiers for editions, supplements, reprints, and multiple versions would remain the same. The proposal included about six dozen examples. The working group initially focused on single‐surname citation forms. Members identified single‐surname forms in Standard citation forms for rare book cataloging¸ 2nd ed. (SCF) and created tables of these citations noting: Current SCF citation form Current SCF full form (main entry‐title) MARC record form (as found in OCLC master records; 1xx headings are established forms unless otherwise noted; OCLC record number provided) LDR/18 value of said MARC records (i.e. AACR2 or not) Proposed citation form based on AACR2 form (untruncated title) Proposed citation form based on AACR2 form (untruncated title) with current form in parentheses The tables of these citations are listed in the Report of the SCF Revision Working Group, January 14, 2009. This document was distributed to BSC at 2009 Midwinter and served to generate discussion. Problems that were identified: In some cases, subtitle information is necessary to distinguish the cited title from another Truncating longer titles leads to variance in citation forms, based on individual judgment Related citations will have different forms, when the main entry differs from the original author/editor Citations with corporate name main entry with a more familiar editor name may be “buried” 1 At Annual 2009, Robinson reviewed options for the form of citation and asked if the newly approved 510 $u changed anyone’s preference. Even with this link, there was agreement that the new form of citation should be used. At 2010 Midwinter, there was an additional suggestion to follow the new (expanded) citation form with the current (shortened) form in parentheses for the benefit of researchers familiar with the current forms. At 2010 Annual, Robinson circulated the first revision of single‐surname citation forms to BSC with a proposal to maintain qualifiers that already exist and to add a qualifier to supplements, thereby preserving the association with the main entry/title of the original work. Following the proposed citation form with the current citation form in parentheses creates a lot of redundancy; however, there are a few instances for which this form is useful: Supplements prepared by someone other than the original author/editor Titles where there is a corporate main entry with the more familiar editor name buried Titles entered under title main entry that have been known by an editor Robinson asked BSC to discuss and vote on which display they preferred. After some discussion, the group decided that the current citation form should be added following the new form only when necessary; that is, only when the two forms differ. Progress Report Since 2011 Midwinter, members of the working group have updated the single‐surname citation table to indicate, of the two proposed possible citation forms in columns 5 and 6, the preferred citation form. The AACR2 form is recommended unless it differs from the current SCF, in which case the AACR2 form with current SCF in parentheses is recommended instead. The working group also has identified citation forms for double‐surname and single‐ acronym citation forms in SCF and created corresponding tables for those. Following the recommendation of BSC to add the current SCF when it differs from the AACR2 form, it is necessary to always add the current SCF for both double‐surname and single‐acronym citation forms. General Discussion Questions 1. The original proposal lists as the form to be followed: Corporate name or surname with initial(s). Title proper unabbreviated. Single surnames in the proposed citation take the form, surname with initial(s), rather than the authorized heading as given in the bibliographic record. And, corporate name examples in the original proposal show only the main body in the proposed citation form: 2 Present full form British Museum. Dept. of Printed Books. General catalogue of printed books. Proposed SCF form British Museum. General catalogue of printed books. Proposed forms in the tables created by the working group show only the main corporate body, with one exception left for discussion purposes. Is BSC in agreement that we should drop subordinate bodies from corporate name headings? 2. The basis of the proposed form brings up the question of “correctness of the bibliographic record.” The resource may or may not be cataloged correctly, or there may be more than one way to catalog it. In the single surname table, compare the new proposed forms for Gregory and Gregory (suppl.). One keeps the subordinate body (Music Division) in the main entry; the other doesn’t. Another example is Madan; a number of OCLC records show “a bibliography of ....” as part of the title proper. 3. The original proposal that was discussed at 2008 Annual included a table with the current SCF, present full form (author/title) and proposed SCF for about six dozen examples from SCF. These examples show proposed forms for supplements and later editions with the original edition, e.g. Present full form Backer, Agustin de. Bibliothèque de la Compagnie de Jésus. Riviere,̀ E.-M. Corrections et additions a ̀ la Bibliothequè de la Compagnie de Jesus.́ Proposed SCF form Backer, Agustin de. Bibliothèque de la Compagnie de Jésus. Backer, Agustin de. Bibliothèque de la Compagnie de Jésus (suppl.) In this manner, the statement, “parenthetical qualifiers for editions, supplements, reprints, and multiple versions would remain the same” makes sense. In looking through the proposed forms in column 5 of the tables created by the working group, retaining parenthetical qualifiers does not always make sense (see discussion question under single‐surname table for specific examples). Now that we’ve had some time to consider the issues associated with single‐ surname citation forms (issues that will apply to other forms), do we want to reconsider how supplements and later editions will be entered? Do we want to continue in the current manner, basing the citation for supplements, etc. on main entry/title, regardless of how different it is from the original work? 3 4. When adding the current form in parentheses (column 6 in the tables), the working group retained existing parentheses, resulting in: (Wing (2nd ed., 1994)) The working group consists of the following members: Marcia Barrett (University of Alabama) (chair, 2011‐ ) Jane Carpenter (UCLA) Jason Kovari (Cornell University) Ann Myers (Southern Illinois University) Phyllis Payne (Boston University) Elizabeth Robinson (LC) (chair, 2008‐2011) 4 5 Single Surname Citation Forms Table Explanation Two options, the AACR2 form and AACR2 form with current form in parenthesis, for the proposed citation form are given for each case in columns 5 and 6 respectively. Color coding is as follows: 1. Supplements prepared by someone other than the original author/editor / etc. 2. Titles where there is a corporate main entry with the more familiar editor name buried 3. Titles entered under title main entry that have been known by an editor/compiler name BSC decided at Annual 2010 that the current SCF should be added following the new form only when necessary, that is, when the two forms differ. The three cases above meet the criteria for adding the current SCF as a parenthetical qualifier. The table shows the proposed citation form that fits the agreed upon (to date) criteria in bold. Discussion Question (A Rather Large One) The original proposal calls for retaining parenthetical qualifiers. a. As column 5 shows, this results in some redundancies in the proposed form - See Bristol (index), Gregory (suppl.), Polain (suppl.), Palau y Dulcet (2. ed.) (addenda), Proctor (registers), Proctor (suppl.), Sander (suppl.) b. On the other hand, retaining the qualifier results in a lack of context with the AACR2 form – See Brunet (Suppl.) c. The original proposal shows supplements, etc. entered with the entry for the original edition, e.g., Brunet, J.-C. Manuel du libraire et de l’amateur de livres. Brunet, J.-C. Manuel du libraire et de l’amateur de livres (suppl.) Brunet, J.-C. Manuel du libraire et de l’amateur de livres (suppl. 2) The advantage of following the form as noted in the original proposal is that it ties citations for supplements, etc. to the original title. The advantage of continuing in the current manner is that it ties the citation form to the catalog entry. 6 SINGLE SURNAMES Current SCF Current SCF full MARC record full form LDR/18 Proposed citation Proposed citation citation form (OCLC master record coded form based on form based on form with OCLC record no.) as AACR2 form AACR2 form AACR2 (untruncated) (untruncated) with (y/n)? current form in parentheses Adams:5 Adams, Herbert 100 1_\a Adams, H.M.

Reviewed by Clive Hurst The study and classification of publishers' cloth bindings was firmly established in the early 1930s with Michael Sadleir's The Evolution of Publishers' Binding Styles, 1770—1900, and John Carter's Binding Variants. During the sub- sequent seventy odd years the description of patterns and colors has become an expected feature of the bibliographies of Victorian writers and book histories of the period (though sadly it has not yet been deemed worthy of most library catalogues). Major problems arise, however, as a result of the characteristic exuberance of the designers and manufacturers of the cloth itself: there seems to be no end to the variety of patterns invented, far beyond the nomenclature available to pin them down; and the colors, I suspect, will long elude satisfactory description comprehensible to every person who reads it. The digital option certainly makes things easier, and the slim volume under review is based on the Library Company of Philadelphia's Database of Nineteenth-Century Cloth Bindings, as is the soon to be available Catalogue of Nineteenth-Century Bookcloth Grains online. It comprises an authoritative brief history, which is especially interesting on the relation of British material and design to that of the relatively young American trade, accompanied by some 250 photographs, mostly in color.

His interests were international in scope and extended from the cradle of printing to modern accounts of travel and exploration. In this exhibit of five centuries of books, maps, photographs, and manuscripts, Atlanta collectors remember their fellow Grolier Club member and celebrate his life and achievements in bibliography. Books are the windows through which the soul looks out.

From round-table sessions on early environmental history to an extraordinary exhibition on the Haitian Revolu- tion, the reading room has hosted a remarkable array of academic and educational programming whose aim has been to reach beyond the traditional fields of the JCB’s strengths and find new audiences in Providence and beyond. In the pages of this edition of inJCB, you will get a sense of all these activities, including some of our LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR new acquisitions, and I hope you will appreciate, as I do, the remarkable curatorial and academic talents that the Library brings together under one 2013-14 Board of Governors collective roof.

Dimensions: 8.9in. x 5.8in. x 0.5in.John Carter is prospecting in Arizona when he finds himself on the run from Apaches. He hides in a cave and is mysteriously transported to Mars! There he meets the Tharks, green martians who stand fieen feet tall and have six arms. Carter discovers he has incredible strength on Mars because of the lesser gravity, and soon becomes a respected warrior. Carter soon meets Dejah Thoris, a princess of Mars from the red martian race. He rescues her and falls in love, but must fight to protect her. A Princess of Mars was originally serialized in All Story Magazine back in 1912. Edgar Rice Burroughs was worried that the far-out nature of the tale would make it diicult for him to keep a job because employers would think he was too strange, so he asked for Under the Moons of Mars (as it was called when it ran in the magazine) to have Normal Bean as the author to drive home the fact that he was still a regular guy.

Want to tell your gauffered edges from your inner dentelles? Your catchwords from your chain lines? Then what you need is a copy of John Carter’s ABC for Book Collectors . First published in 1952, and now into its Ninth Edition, it is the book (and it is an actual book, there’s no online version of this) for those of us who have the joy of getting our hands on and cataloguing old books from time to time. And when we are cataloguing old books we are going to be faced with some questions that just don’t crop up when we are creating a record for that 2017 edition of the Companion to International Relations . Questions like: is that former owner’s signature on the front -free endpaper, the half -title or on the title -page? With Carter’s book by your side there will never again be any doubt. Your 563? “Hardback” is just not going to cut it with that lovely eighteenth -century four -volume set. This is where you can finally get to say the words: an elaborately tooled, full Levant morocco binding! And why wouldn’t you? Who wouldn’t be seduced by skivers, slips and solanders; of vellum, vignettes, and versos? It’s like poetry. That’s why we love John Carter’s ABC for Book Collectors.

  • The John Carter Brown Library
    1876.] TBB JOHN OABTER BROWN LIBRARY. 298 ARTICLE IV. THE JOHN CARTER BROWN LIBRARY. BT JlBV.l. o. ITOOJUlBIDGE, D.D., PBOVIDEl'CE, B.I. THE writer of this Article has 'no doubt that many of the readers of the Bibliotheca Sacra. have some knowledge of the valuable collection of books known as the "John Carter Brown Library," and are acquainted with some of tile lead­ ing facts in the life of the gentleman from whom the library takes its name. There must, however, be not a few individ­ uals, who may with propriety regard themselves as scholars, who are ignorant of both the founder of the library of which we shall speak, as well as of the library itself. To such there may be a satisfaction in learning some of the outlines in the history of one who did such noble service to the cause of letters, and whose costly collection of books is a better monument to his fame than sculptured granite or marble. John Carter Brown was born in Providence, Rhode Island, August 28, 1797. He was the second son of Ron. Nicholas Brown, whose munificent gifts to the university which bears his name have placed him among the most distinguished benefactors of his native State. In 1841 he came into pos­ session of a large patrimony, and succeeded to the position which his deceased father had held for so many years, as the senior partner of the well known firm of Brown and I ves. His love for books, showing itself in a taste for those which were rare and costly, early developed itself; and the ample fortune which was at his command enabled him to gratify this taste.
