Re: Feminist theology

One of my former bosses once wore a T-shirt that had the following:

When God created man, she was only joking."

That's all I can come up with, and that goes back to 1978....!

Your input solicited on the handling of subfield $c

Please excuse multiple postings.

The PCC Acceptable Headings Implementation Task Group (the group's
charge is available here:
http://files.library.northwestern.edu/public/pccahitg/) solicits input
from the broadest possible representation of interested parties on the
handling of subfield $c in AACR2 personal name headings during the
manipulation of the LC/NACO authority file for use under RDA. The task
group has prepared a document that describes the problem to be addressed
and gives instructions for providing your input. There is an
accompanying spreadsheet of subfield $c texts you can use to convey
information about each subfield $c text; or you can create a document to
describe how subfield $c should be handled. Information received will
have significant input on the task group's decision on the handling of
subfield $c.

The descriptions and instructions are available in this document:
http://files.library.northwestern.edu/public/pccahitg/RDA%20conversion.S
ubfield%20c.doc 

The accompanying spreadsheet is:

http://files.library.northwestern.edu/public/pccahitg/RDA%20conversion.S
ubfield%20c.xls 

Although at least one member of the task group monitors this list,
questions regarding this work are best sent directly to the task group
at its own e-mail address: pccahitg@... Your input on the
handling of subfield $c should also be sent to the group at this same
address.

Literary warrant for s.h. ?

There is a subject heading: Preunderstanding (Theology)
There is not work catalogued cited to justify the heading.  Should there
have been one?
And just what does the subj. heading mean.  The xref refer to hermeneutics.

The subject heading needs to be fleshed out.

Feminist theology

Perhaps, it is time to propose a new subject heading, or the change the one
we have now.

Perhaps, Feminist theology as classed in BT83 should be Feminist theology
(Christianity)
And the s.h. Feminist theology should be classed in new class, somewhere
around BL458 when it deals with feminist theology from various religious
traditions.

Book in hand: The Oxford handbook of feminist theology. 2012.

Summer cataloging courses

Hi All,

Do you know of any online or intensive face-to-face cataloging courses (at ALA accredited schools) being
offered this summer?  I have started the arduous process of working through the list on ALA's website,
and I do know about the one being offered by Washington University starting at the end of March, but was
hoping to make my decision based on several viable options. 

Thanks,

Gillian Connors, MLIS

[Typo of the day for librarians] Maude + Maud (for Maud or Maude)

Maud Lewis (1903–1970) was a Canadian "folk artist" whose homely reputation  
continues to grow despite her death over forty years ago. Raised in meager  
circumstances and stricken with a childhood disease that may have been  
either polio or rheumatoid arthritis, Lewis simply ignored what in a lesser  
person would have been both crushing poverty and crippling disability in  
her cheerful quest to paint every surface of her tiny house,  
including "pulp boards (beaverboards), cookie sheets, and Masonite." Her  
husband, Everett, a "taciturn fish peddler," encouraged his wife's budding  
talent and bought her her first set of paints. She began by creating  
Christmas cards, which the enterprising couple would take door to door  
along with the day's catch. As word gradually spread, the two started  
selling Maud's paintings for a few dollars each out of their home in  
Marshalltown, Nova Scotia. Maud Lewis pieces currently fetch close to  
twenty thousand dollars. Not to be too "maudlin" about it, but it's a  
touching and heartwarming story. There were 48 examples of this typo in  
OhioLINK today, most of which were of the expected sort. However, the very  
first hit was for a title by someone called, oddly enough, Maud Maude  
(actually, "Mrs. Maud Maude"), the author of A Handbook of Pyrography,  
which apparently addresses yet another form of "folk art." We got 465 hits  
on this typo in WorldCat, some of which may also occur on records  
containing both forenames correctly spelled (ie, for two different people).

(Maud Lewis, from the Folk Art Canada website.)

Re: Containers for multiple CD sets

Hi, Mary. We have lots of these Great Courses, both DVDs and CDs. After a bit of experimentation, we decided
to put them in zippered folios. These are clear plastic with coloured cloth edges, and a zipper that goes
around three sides. They are available in at least three sizes. I believe our Processing person first
found them in a dollar store.

Hope this helps!

Khmer, Moroccan Tamazight, and Syriac Romanization Tables

Khmer, Moroccan Tamazight, and Syriac Romanization Tables

2/3/12

The ALA-LC Romanization tables are developed jointly by the Library of Congress (LC) and the American
Library Association (ALA). Romanization schemes enable the cataloging of foreign language materials.
Romanized cataloging in turn supports circulation, acquisitions, serials check-in, shelflisting,
shelving, and reference, particularly in library catalogs that are unable to display non-roman
alphabet information.

The ALCTS Committee on Cataloging: African and Asian Materials (CC:AAM) met on Sunday, January 22, 2012 at
the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Dallas. As a part of this meeting CC:AAM reviewed LC proposals for new Syriac
and Moroccan Tamazight romanization tables, as well as a revision to the Khmer romanization table. All
three tables were approved.

The Khmer, Moroccan Tamazight, and Syriac are now available for downloading from the ALA-LC Romanization
Tables webpage < http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html >. Please direct any questions about
romanization tables to Bruce Johnson, Policy and Standards Division (

Indic experts--Help

Under Ghose, Aurobindo in the authority file, we have the title The life
divine as a xref to Divya jivana.
I have seen some cuttering of this work as though the title started with
"Life."
And it may have, after consulting the Web, and especially Wikipedia.  The
life divine was published in the journal Arya, and Wikipedia mentions that
Ghose wrote a good deal of his material in English.  It was later
translated into Bengali, and the Bengali title is similar to the title in
the authority record.  I cannot confirm what the original language of The
life divine was.

Any help, much appreciated.

(I have a gut feeling, it was originally written in English.)

NISO/DCMI Joint Webinar -- Karen Coyle: "Taking Library Data From Here to There"

*** Please excuse the cross-posting ***

===============================================================
NISO/DCMI Joint Webinar on February 22: Taking Library Data From Here to There
DATE: February 22, 2012
TIME: 1:00pm - 2:30pm Eastern (18:00-19:30 UTC)
INFORMATION & REGISTRATION:
http://www.niso.org/news/events/2012/dcmi/library_data/
===============================================================

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Libraries have been creating metadata for resources for well over a
century. The good news is that library metadata is rules-based and
that the library cataloging community has built up a wealth of
knowledge about publications, their qualities, and the users who seek
them. The bad news is that library practices were fixed long before
computers would be used to store and retrieve the data. Library
cataloging practice continues to have elements of the era of printed
catalogs and alphabetized cards, and needs to modernize to take
advantage of new information technologies. This metadata, however,
exists today in tens of thousands of databases and there is a large
sigh heard around the world whenever a librarian considers the need to
make this massive change.

As with all large problems, this one becomes more tractable when
broken into smaller pieces. Karen Coyle will present her "five stars
of library data," an analysis of the changes needed and some steps
that libraries can begin to take immediately. She will also discuss
the "open world" view of the linked data movement and how this view
