Misinformation???

Book in hand: The last word / N.T. Wright. HarperSanFrancisco, c2005.

The pcc record and LC have a note saying: Rev. ed. of Scripture and the
authority of God. 2005

There is nothing apparent in the book itself that indicates that is revised.
In fact, on the t.p. itself we have: "Published in the United Kingdom as
Scripture and the authority of God."  And there is an authority record for
that title with a 430 Last word.  I think that instead of having the note in
a 500 and a 700 in the record, this really should be a 240.  Whaddya think?

BS480 vs. BT89

Conceptually, what is the difference between BS480 and BT89?

Book in hand: The last word / N.T. Wright. 2005

Is the difference in counting how many angels there are on head of needle?

Re: Parts of Bible having own titles

Don't get me on "Q".  It is definitely a "putative source."  It is treated
as though it were a document.  For me, that is questionable, not matter how
much "research" is done.  It may have been an oral tradition.  Which brings
me to this point: Is FRBR assuming a textual culture?  An awful lot of
ancient literature was oral in nature, at least at first.  A good instance
of this is Homer.  Some classical critics think that the Iliad and Odyssey
were separate oral traditions, collected by someone that we have called
Homer.  And by "textual culture" I am also including sound recordings,
motion pictures, etc., where the "text" is fixed.  It certainly was not
"fixed" in much earlier times.

By the way, when dealing with Q, you use Bible. N.T. Gospels |x [...] and Q

Those of you who do FRBR, would you consider this an independent
whole/part relationship or a dependent one?

Bonus question: Many books have been written about Q, the putative
source for the shared sections of Matthew and Luke. What's the FRBR

Many Donald Halls

Watch out which "Donald Hall" is applied to the entry for your work

Book in hand: Life work / Donald Hall.  This is the poet

What has happened here is that one member of our consortium has put some of
his works on reserve (or something like that) and simply made the entry
Hall, Donald, rather than Hall, Donald, 1928-  This can get confusing.

Authorship for religious topics

I have looked in Cat. Desktop and see that I have written about this before,
but where in the SHM do we find a list of qualifiers for religious topics.
In this case [denominational adjective] authors.  Perhaps, we could update
the index in SHM to show us this, especially since Salvation is no longer a
pattern subject heading for doctrines.

More misinformation

Book in hand: Staying at the table : the gift of unity / Scott J. Jones.
(OCLC *163604216 [LC record])

Cataloging record has "[edited by].."  And uses the title as the m.e.  In
fact, Jones wrote opening half-book essay and compiled the responses to it.
So if anything, it should read [written and responses compiled by] or
something like that.  While my assistant is away on vacation, I am
cataloging (copy-cataloging?) the records she would be handling (DLC/DLC,
encoding 8 or higher, rules "a").  I am beginning to find out just how
unreliable some of these records can be.  In terms of the Working Group's
report, I realize that we are all external sources of cataloging, but in the
past some institutions, such as LC, were assumed to be holding to some gold,
exact standard; it appears, that currently LC is simply rubber-stamping the
cataloging they get from external sources and passing it along.

More misleading information (classification)

Book in hand: Struggle of the magicians / William Patrick Patterson. 1996
(OCLC *34297017; coded for having some biographical details)

Classed at: BP605.G94.G87 1996

That class is for critical works about/biography of Gurdjieff.  I would
suggest that since you would want your critical/biographical works run in
succession in a shelflist order, we employ successive cuttering here and use
BP605.G94.G876 1996  (the "6" stands for Patterson)

Autocat "Filelist"

Hi All,

I've added a new web page/index to the Autocat pages that are at: http://www.cwu.edu/~dcc/Autocat-ToC-2007.html

The fourth item in the list is now a [growing] list of items that used to reside in the "filelist" feature on
the server.  The plan is that when we place something on this list, folks will be notified.  I'll generally
put them up in PDF format.  Two updated cheat sheets from Mac are there, as is the item "Bibliographic Data
Elements Wanted by 32 NLW Users
in Initial Hit Lists and Full Displays," from Roger Fenton.

I know this is no longer the "filelist" as that's a feature within the Listserv software.  Other name
suggestions are welcome.  I ran out of ideas - - clearinghouse seemed not quite right.  Comments or
suggestions, please let Marc or I know.  Thanks,

Daniel

Re: Periodicals

Hello, Yuliya.

I would include a 100 or 110 if the item being catalogued was more  
than two thirds about the main entry (e.g., an annual report), and  
have the 245 as title added entry.

If the title was the main entry, and there was an associated body, I'd  
put that in a 7XX tag.

The 8XX are for series added entry; not the same as serials!

You can use any of the MARC fields as appropriate; however, I would  
advocate that the 362 is very useful. The number of serials catalogue  
records that don't have it is pretty high in our catalogue, which is a  
shame.

The 9XX tags are local fields, so yours to do with as you will.

Hope that helps!

Natasha.
