This publication, Issue 8, is the fourth list of acquisitions for the fiscal year 1989 and covers the months of July, August and September 1989. In addition, we are enclosing a cumulative list covering the period fromOctober 1988 to September 1989. This publication, which supercedes the individual quarterly lists, is accompanied by subject, author, and record group indexes. Also in the package is the annual listing of periodicals kept in the National Archives Library. vo Providing quarterly lists of additions to the library's ALIC collection with annual cumulations and indexes, is just one of the services provided to members of the records community by the Library of the National Archives and Records Administration. As a central source of information on archival, manuscript, and records management subjects, ALIC provides searches of it own databases of bibliographic citations, sources of ar, ival services and suppliers, and information on significant archival projects. The library loans most of its cataloged materials; in the case of materials not covered by this loan policy, reproductions of noncopyrighted items in the library are available for a fee. The success of ALIC depends upon the cooperation of the records community. Not only is ALIC compiling a database of information on archives, records management and maruscripts, but the National Archives Library is collecting printed mat,Irials on these same subjects. The completeness of ALIC's coverage depends on our knowledge of archival andrecords management literature. As a member of the archival community, you can help us by sending ALIC publications L'om your institution and by alerting us to other material appropriate to our interests.

  • General Introduction General Introduction
    General Introduction General Introduction The MARC 21 formats are widely used standards for the representation and exchange of authority, bibliographic, classification, community information, and holdings data in machine-readable form. They consist of a family of five coordinated formats: MARC 21 Format for Authority Data; MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data; MARC 21 Format for Classification Data; MARC 21 Format for Community Information; and MARC 21 Format for Holdings Data. Each of these MARC formats is published separately online to provide detailed field descriptions, guidelines for applying the defined content designation (with examples), and identification of conventions to be used to insure input consistency. The MARC 21 Concise Formats provide in a single publication a quick reference guide to the content designators defined in the Bibliographic, Authority, and Holdings formats. It provides a concise description of each field, each character position of the fixed-length data element fields, and of the defined indicators in the variable data fields. Descriptions of subfield codes and coded values are given only when their names may not be sufficiently descriptive. Examples are included for each field. COMPONENTS OF A MARC 21 RECORD MARC format characteristics that are common to all of the formats are described in this general introduction. Information specific only to certain record types is given in the introduction to the MARC format to which it relates. A MARC record is composed of three elements: the record structure, the content designation, and the data content of the record. The record structure is an implementation of the American National Standard for Information Interchange (ANSI/NISO Z39.2) and its ISO equivalent ISO 2709.

  • Problems That Arise When Providing Geographic Coordinate Information for Cataloged Maps
    Page 1 Coordinates Series B, No.8 Problems That Arise When Providing Geographic Coordinate Information for Cataloged Maps Persistent URL for citation: http://purl.oclc.org/ coordinates/b8.pdf Jorge A. Gonzalez Jorge A. Gonzalez (e-mail: [email protected]) Date of Publication: 10/16/07 has worked at the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida, Gainesville for the last 23 years. He has been a map and science materials cataloger for the last 10 years. He is currently working on his Masters degree in Geography. Abstract Maps are not always published with coordinates. However, by following strict guidelines in the 034 and 255 MARC fields, and by using cataloging rules, one can interpolate this data in order to provide coordinates in bibliographic records. Bounding boxes and center point coordinates are key components in the catalog record, but problems arise with maps providing information outside of discussed or established standards, or maps not providing coordinates at all for different reasons. This article explores the importance of correctly understanding, using, and interpreting map cataloging rules to provide the most accurate information possible, with the goal of making it possible to find maps quickly and accurately—whether using database retrieval or a coordinate-driven search engine. It is proposed that we can find an efficient universal method to represent locations, addresses, and areas of the world through the use of geographic coordinates for print and digital cartographic materials. Finally, the article states the strong need to standardize spatial cataloging information to improve search query responses by providing uniform information and by addressing the problems discussed in this article.

  • Dr Elizabeth Shepherd
    Culture and evidence: or what good are the archives? Archives and archivists in 20th century England. Dr Elizabeth Shepherd Department of Information Studies University College London Gower Street London WC1E 6BT +44 (0)20 76792945 +44 (0)20 73830557 (fax) [email protected] 1 Introduction Archives have the potential to change people’s lives. They are “a fundamental …… of our democracy, our culture, our community and personal identity” (NCA, 2002). Archives are created to facilitate the conduct of business and accountability; they support a democratic society’s expectations for transparency and the protection of rights; they underpin citizens’ rights; but they are also the raw material of our history and our memory. Archivists and records managers are responsible for ensuring that these qualities are protected and exploited for the public good. The Philosophy of the Archive conference, where this paper was originally given, focused on the philosophy and politics of archives and debated their evidential and historical value. It examined the construction and recording of memories and identities and explored the tension between the use of archives as a guarantee of accountability on the one hand and the role of archives as cultural artefacts on the other.1 Archives and records have multiple representations and there is much discussion of values, and of what archives are and what they are for, in the literature.2 Many archives and records management services, in practice, seek to meet the multiple requirements of a wide range of interest groups, employers, funders, policy makers, users and the wider public, although with limited resources, choices have to be made about which values gain priority.
