week 4/Class notes: MARC Records AACR2

When I was looking at the Marc documents, I got lost.(readings e-serve) But this class made me how to look at it and understand it. I am more clear now. I am going to try to read it again and try to make some Marc records.

Copy cataloguing – original cataloguing

AACR2(anglo american cataloguing rules) is going to be become RDA – resource description and access.

relationships and items ( RDA)

the 2 tools are very different.

in cataloguging there are 8 areas of description : IFLA

a book – part of a series – just one or all of them – create one marc record for all of them.

1. Consider , monograph series?

3. if you don’t have a chief source – you have to supply one.

you would put the title you have chosen in brackets.

Intro to Imaging: Part 2: Workflow

I am still in the reading process of the second half of our readings. So far, everything (the process of imaging) is told very simply so it is easier to understand it. I think I need more information on Metadata which we will be learning later …

Important subjects:

Why Digitize?

Project Planning

Selecting Scanners

Image Capture

Selecting a Metadata Schema

Delivery

Security Policies and Procedures

Long-Term Management and Preservation

Again, it is good to learn the terms – and look them up from the glossary.

Thanks.

Introduction to Imaging Part 1

Introduction to imaging
By Howard Besser Edited by Sally Hubbard with Deborah Lenert

I found these articles very helpful. First of all, I wasn’t very familiar with the language and it really helped me to understand the language of imaging. I learned many longer versions of terms like Jpeg, Tiff, Http.. etc. which was great! I think this was a well-written introduction which simplified and directly touched on the main points about imaging. I am still in the air about some stuff but I think overall things make more sense in my head now. I printed the glossary as well which was very helpful…

Part :1

The Digital Image Defined

Standards

Metadata

The Image

Networks, System Architecture, and Storage

When I use the internet, softwares or computers, I tend not to think about the theory. You just do it. The depth to imaging is so clever and mathematical, mostly everything makes sense.. I did one of my papers on Policies Governing The Selection and Presentation of Collections on the World Wide Web and at so many points I was so confused and the information I was reading was above my head… With this information, it was good to return to the basics and of course with something that is written recent too…

I am glad that we are reading this. Thanks.

helloo!

helloo nice to meet ya!@! looking forward to this class….
