Re: Help with Sinhalese and Bengali

Respected Madam,

I can help you in Bengali book. I am a Bengali from West Bengal, India. If
you kindly send the necessary bibliographic details of the book, I hope I
will surely be able to help you.

Problem in Links of Downloaded Records from LC

Dear all,

Happy New Year to You all.

Today, I faced a strange situation. I downloaded some records from LC using
z39.50 protocol. With it the links of "Table of Contents"and "Publisher
Details" also came. But from the catalogue I am clicking on these links, one
strange message is showing:

"Forbidden You don't have permission to access
/catdir/toc/fy0607/2005934653.html on this server."

I never faced this situation before. Earlier these links worked and we used
to get the information after clicking on these links?
What may be the reason? Is it the case that LC has stopped this service for
other libraries?
Thank you in advance.

with regards,
Siladitya Jana

This is almost certainly a configuration error or malfunction on the LC
server.  I would expect it to be fixed when LC staff return from holiday
leave.

Subject Heading

Dear all,

For a title like "Crystal structure data of inorganic compounds", part g,
references for III/7 with ISBN 3540065415/0387065415 which contains only
references on topics here "Crystallography" and "Inorganic compounds", what
may be the appropriate subject heading according to LCSH? I think in LCSH
for references there is no separate free floating heading.

Thanks in advance.

with regards,
Siladitya Jana

Daily Typo - January 1, 2009 - Celbrat* (for Celebrate, etc.)

Typo of the Day for Librarians
Celbrat* (for Celebrate, etc.)

I hope you all were prudent and law-abiding while drinking last night because ending up in jail with an
annoying cell brat is certainly nothing to celebrate. OhioLINK contains eight instances of Celbrat*,
which puts it in the "moderate probability" section of the Ballard list. Sheriff Taylor's laid-back and
slow pokey, with its warm bed and home-cooked meals from Aunt Bee, actually doesn't sound all that bad, but
the inmate on the right has apparently just swallowed a case of dynamite! I'm not sure what the final
resolution was for these two, but let's hope that was one fireworks display that didn't go off in the New Year.

Daily Typo - January 2, 2009 - Imporv* (for Improve, etc.)

Typo of the Day for Librarians
Imporv* (for Improve, etc.)

New Year's Day is traditionally a day of self-recrimination quickly
followed by optimistic resolve to improve oneself and give up bad
habits. Dale Carnegie, who was born in 1888 in Maryville, Missouri, was
a titan of self-help and self-promotion. His philosophy is neatly summed
up in the title of his best-selling book How to Win Friends and
Influence People. It might bear mentioning that Carnegie was keenly
attuned to the importance of letters and their placement within words.
According to Wikpedia: "Perhaps one of Carnegie’s most successful
marketing moves was to change the spelling of his last name from
'Carnegey' to Carnegie, at a time when Andrew Carnegie (unrelated) was a
widely revered and recognized name." There are 24 records in OhioLINK
that contain the typo Imporv* (although five of them are for
improvisation, etc.) and probably at least a few in your own OPACs that
could use some improvement.

Cape Girardeau, Missouri, from flickr.)

free MARC reader?

Folks,

For some reason, I can't get into the archives.

Isn't there a free MARC reader out there in cyberspace somewhere? A
search of the web hasn't been helpful, but it's interesting to note that
there are at least two men *named* Marc Reader!

Thanks.

Re: free MARC reader?

One of the ones you're thinking of might be MarcEdit by Terry Reese at Oregon State University <http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php>

There's MARCEdit (if by "reader" you mean software giving you the 
ability to upload, download, and edit MARC records):
