Request for Information

Dear All,

We are going to set up our new building for the library. In this connection
we are interested  to know about the special type of  furniture, that you
all use in the technical processing (say for cataloguing) division. I also
request you to advice me in designing the Technical Division part as well.

Will you be kind enough to send me the details about the furnitures along
with their pictures (if possible).  You can also send me the sources from
where we can get it. We are ready to import these furnitures if required as
well.

Hope I will get your responses soon.

Thanking You in advance.

with regards,
Siladitya Jana

Genre Headings, LSCH, and SACO

The past couple days there's been some discussion on the list about genre headings, LCSH, and SACO.

It is true that, as of this writing, we are not accepting proposals through the SACO program for genre
headings in LCSH. The announcement is at the CPSO web page:
 http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/genre.html 

To clarify one other point, during a discussion of genre headings at the May 2008 BIBCO meeting, it was
pointed out that BIBCO libraries may add genre headings as a 655 second indicator "0" to bib records if that
heading already exists in LCSH as a topical (150) heading:
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc//archive/BIBCOOpCo2008Summary.html 

Documentation for this practice is currently in Appendix A of the "BIBCO Particpants' Manual" and will be
incorporated in both the new "BIBCO Participants' Manual" and in the "Subject Cataloging Manual:
Subject Headings"

Re: Added entries for a DVD

Marion Veld wrote to say that she was cataloging a DVD of a performance of 
the Peking Acrobats.  Her question was whether to give the 21 acrobats 
'individual added energies [sic]".  Marion, I wish someone would give *me* 
some "added energy" ;-)! But seriously, folks, unless many or most of the 
acrobats were well-known on their own hooks, I can't see the point of 
tracing all of them, let alone establishing each of their names.  It seems 
analogous to cataloging a DVD about one of Boston's unmatchable, 
world-dominating (not that we're bragging, mind) sports teams (too numerous 
to mention!) and giving a.e.s to every Red Sox, Celtic, or Patriots 
player.  Same goes for the "directors, producers, choreographers" or other 
associated folk.  The name of the troupe is, IMO, sufficient.

While I respect what Gordon posted on this topic, and the strategy he describes is in fact the strategy we
employ, I wonder why the individual acrobats are deemed any less important than the 4th through infinity
authors on a potential title page that some members of this list have proposed listing and tracing. I'm not
advocating tracing every blessed name on a t.p., but if that's a good idea, then why is tracing all the
acrobats, dancers, and other participants on a video program not also a good idea?

For our little shop the answer is that it would make the cataloging take far too long and result in very little
extra benefit to users. As the spouse of a nurse who often finds her name well down the list of contributors
on medical publications regardless of her relative input, I don't think that most patrons will be
searching on most of the added entries, but it seems that if it's good for one format it ought ot be just as
good for another.

While I have no ideas for furniture, I do have a few ideas on the 
space for technical services.

Having running water for washing hands and things is essential for a 
technical services department.  We all handle materials that may be 
dusty or dirty.

People and materials need a variety spaces.  Sometimes we need 
private spaces for concentrated work; sometimes open spaces for 
collaborative work.  Sometimes we need offices; sometimes more open 
areas.  Work spaces should have plenty of room to move book trucks to 
where they are needed.  Large tables are needed for sorting incoming 
materials.  Catalogers may want permanent shelves for reference books.

You should be asking your staff what they want and how furnishing 
will help them work better and happier.

Book trucks

Not exactly a cataloging question:

Recently our technical services department moved into the basement of the
library building.  Our current book trucks simply cannot roll on and off the
elevator with ease.  I have found that there are trucks with 2 large and 2
small wheels and trucks with 3 sets of 5" wheels.  Does anyone have
experience with either of these styles of trucks?  Which truck would work
best on an elevator with a bump?

Re: Book trucks

I don't know about the three sets of 5 inch wheels, but I've worked in a
library where we had trucks with 4- three inch wheels and they were fine
for getting on and off the elevator.

Re: Book trucks

I am not sure the size of the wheels actually matters, as long as they
are all the same size. I would think that three sets of wheels would
just be another set of wheels to get over the bump. 

I have used two sets of four inch, and they work just fine. Anything
smaller does catch up on bumps and uneven surfaces.

Re: Book trucks

We have a cart with 2 large wheels that swivel and 2 small wheels.  It has easier to manuver around corners than
the carts with 4 wheels the same size or wheels that do not swivel.  The large wheels on our cart have a heavier
duty tire than the usual wheel on a book truck.  And our shelves are not flat.  They have a 2" strip on the sides
which we really like when going over bumps - it helps keep the books on the shelf!
