  Steve-Thanks for bringing this to my attention. You and others on this list are really helping me put this
together. 5 people have contacted me expressing an interest in attending such workshops virtually. If
anyone else is interested, please let me know. Also, if anyone can tell me how to run this virtually it would
be appreciated. Could it be done with something as simple as Skype?

This may be heresy, but here we shelve them normally, but in a separtate
sequence by composer at the invented MS LC numbers.  They can be esily
found, and don't cause chaos or damage on the shelves.  It also means you
can get more shelves tot he bay :) a prefix such as 'm' 9we have plenty of
'q' or oversize books) would also work, indicating a separate sequence.

place of publication: Genoa or Geneva?

This isn't strictly a cataloging question, so I may post to more than one list.

We are cataloging a Hebrew Bible (in Hebrew).  One of my colleagues has contacts who read Hebrew, and they
have determined that it was published in 1608 C.E. by [one possible Romanization] Kafeh Elon.

The city of publication is either Genoa or Geneva. Most similar items in WorldCat list Geneva, but my
colleague thinks it more likely that a Hebrew title from that time would have been published in Genoa.
Given that the Italian name for that city is Genova, it seems like a difficult name to Romanize.

Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Julia Huskey

Re: Cataloguing AudioBooks from OverDrive - a Summary

Hi

I have been requested to post a summary of what I have received 
regarding the Cataloging of the AudioBooks from OverDrive.  Here is the 
summary in points form.  If you need any further information, please let 
me know and I can refer you to the appropriate library that have 
response.  I will also need to contact them for the more technical details.

    * There are totally 8 libraries respond to my email
    * They have been cataloging the materials in three different ways:
      (1) get OverDirve's file and get help from their IT staff to load
      it into their ILS, (2) get OCLC's MARC records and perform editing
      to compile with their local policy, (3) Perform in-house
      cataloging by searching and downloading OCLC database.  Perform
      Original cataloging locally and contribute records to OCLC.
    * All the solutions involve different types of workloads.  The
      libraries who have technical staff who know some kinds of
      programming such as Pearl script, and know how to use MarcEdit,
      they get OverDrive's file and converted it into proper MARC format
      and load into ILS.  Some libraries create marco to edit OCLC's
      MARC file before they load the file into ILS.  Some libraries
      review and perform cataloging for each title.
    * The library who is getting the OverDrive file encounter the
      following issues/workload:
          o need to write a Perl script to put the columned information
            into the appropriate MARC fields and subfileds such as
            changing names from direct order to surname first, puts the
            ISBN into a local MARC filed for local policy.  Perform
            authority work on names, adding relevant subject headings,
            duration, etc.

Re: place of publication: Genoa or Geneva?

I think the Italian for the 
  Swiss city is:  Ginevra.  
  Italian city is:  Genova (as you had noted)

Any help there?

I don't know enough of the cultural history to even guess about the likelihood of which city would be most
likely to have published a Bible in Hebrew.  I would have guessed Venice.

Re: place of publication: Genoa or Geneva?

It is Geneva.  See Darlow & Moule 5113 and 5117 for other items by
this printer AKA Pierre de la Rouviere.  If this was a Hebrew text
intended for Jews, then and Italian city would be likely.

If you are transcribing the title page for the 245 field, copy what 
is on the title page.  If you are entering the 752 enter the name 
according to how we spell the name in English.

Many European cities have different names according to one or more 
language or residential group.  Some cities changed names when they 
changed countries.  For example look at the Wikipedia article on 
Bratislava , currently the capital of the Slovak Republic.  The 
German name was Pressburg.  Many Hebrew books were published 
there.  If you are cataloging them, AACR2 states that you copy the 
city of publication from the title or its substitute.   Wikipedia 
also has an article on names of European cities in different 
languages

Authority records for Gorno-Badakhshan (Tajikistan)

There are two records in the LC/NAF for the Gorno-Badakhshan autonomous 
region of Tajikistan: n  83035421 and no 00065333.  The first has a 151 
in Russian and cites sources from 1964 to 1983, and the second has a 151 
in Tajik and cites sources from 1987 to 2005, but most of the references 
are the same or similar on both records and it's not clear to me what 
name change justifies having two separate records here.   

The Tajik forms Kuhistoni Badakhshon (Mountain area of Badakhshon) and 
Badakhshoni Kuhi (Mountainous Badakhshon) appear to be equivalents, not 
a formal name change, unless these records are not making that 
sufficiently clear.  The only other change I can see is that the Tajik 
word for "autonomous" changed from avtonomi to mukhtor at some point, 
although that doesn't appear in either heading.  The Russian name on the 
earlier record is still what this region is called in Russian today.  
Should these records be combined?

Re: place of publication: Genoa or Geneva?

I think the problem is that "Genova" and "Geneva" look the same in unpointed Hebrew.
