MARC Tags:

Catalogue material designated for the Law Library in accordance with the UVic RDA Workflows for monographs or serials.  Some things to note that are particular to or are exceptions for the Law Library are as follows:

035      Retain 035 local control number (035 | | | ‡9 uviclw#####) if present, as it identifies the original Law Bib# pre-Voyager merge.

040      The old MARC Organization Code that was specific for the UVic Law Library (CaBViVL) is no longer used but may still be present in old/existing Law Bib records.

591      Change to 590  (591 was once a Local Note designated specifically for Law.  Current practice: Use 590 for any Local Notes, with appropriate wording to clarify Law copy if necessary)

Classification/Call numbers:

If suggested LC Class number is not already present in 050, then go to K (-KZ) Class schedules (Law) to determine what it should be.

Notes on KE/KF: Always use subclass KE (Law of Canada) as appropriate.  *Prior to KE being established, the Law Library used the “KF Modified” schedule (Law of the United States).  Current local practice is to use KE if there is ANY Canadian Law content within the resource.  KF is still used IF the resource is strictly pertaining to US Law only.  Investigate if any suggested class numbers are indicated in CIP data, as a possible lead.

Classify new editions using KE as appropriate.  If an older edition exists & it’s classified under older KF Modified call number, leave older edition as is; no need to reclassify older edition.

*Exception: If item is filling in a gap in the collection, and the rest of the collection is filed under KF, place ‘new’ item under KF to fill gap.

Notes on KI: Effective 2017-  New KI classification for “Law of Indigenous peoples” (see Classification Web)

*See the Law KI Reclassification Project on Connect for full background

Law Librarians may identify select titles for KI classification/reclassification that are not inherently Indigenous Law subject matter.

If reclassifying an existing title, do not re-catalogue (possible exceptions, at cataloguer's discretion)

At this time, in cases of multiple Library holdings locations, only the Law Library's copy holdings will be reclassified, and the reprocessing of call no. labels will continue to be done at Law

*IMPORTANT: Beyond the scope of this specific project, the underlying rationale and principles are also influencing the cataloguing of newly acquired Law materials with Indigenous subject matter. If you should find yourself about to catalogue material designated for the Law Library and the material has anything to do with Indigenous or First Nations content, please pause to consider if it might be a candidate for classifying in the LC KI-KIL class schedules. In cases of doubt, consult the Law Librarians at: lawref@uvic.ca

• Law Librarians may suggest a KI class number for an item at point of ordering.  Acquisitions staff will flag this information for Metadata’s attention by inserting any related correspondence.
• Leave slips/correspondence in the item, for Law staff to see when books are sent to Law, so they’re fully aware of the KI request as well.
• Novels, unless a Law Librarian specifically requests otherwise, are not in KI classification.

Notes on JX/JZ: JX is obsolete with law.  DO NOT USE.  (JZ has replaced it).  If any law books have JX call #, set aside and consult the Law Librarians at: lawref@uvic.ca

Conferences:

If any NEW conferences are received, consider cataloguing as a serial.  Do not re-catalogue past conferences that may have been catalogued as monographs.

Use conference date as date in call number in most instances, except when the conference is not considered to be the creator, per the Library of Congress Classification and Shelflisting Manual, Table on Conferences, Congresses, Meetings, Etc., Table G230:

https://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeCSM/G230.pdf

Law Serials - General:

Click here for Law serials check-in & processing

Law Digests Schema:

Room171 (aka law res-171 in Alma) was created to house law's course reserve materials as well as high-use and some loose leaf materials.

Course Reserve material - now placed on course reserve via Reserves - is no longer located in this room. With migration to Alma, records with law-res171 location will be updated and references to RESERVE will be removed.

The rubric "Rm171" was created for this location in January 2023.

See the format instructions for how to catalogue music scores, sound recordings, and video recordings.

See the processing instructions for information on physical handling.

Note that the music collection, including monographs and serials, was once located in a separate physical location called Music & Audio (and later Music & Media) within the McPherson Library. Most M-MT classed monographs and serials still have an "ma" holdings location, though they have now been integrated into the main stacks. (With Alma update: ma location changed to main location?)

Laura - music scores and sound recordings

Reserve:

In 2021, Reserve staff physically relocated to sit within Rm260 to be part of the Copyright and Scholarly Communications team under Collection Management. While reserve material is now processed within Rm260, the physical material continues to be situated in the Access Services area on the main floor.

Rush Reserve material: Place all newly catalogued (or shelf-ready) Rush Reserve material in the labelled box on top of the short shelves in the Reserve area of Rm260 (behind the Serials mail table).  Reserve staff will collect from the tray and handle the end-processing for Reserve.

Basement Compact Shelving (BCS):

Located here are all Z classed material; some oversized material, national union catalogues, all HA741-HA743 Stats Can material; some monographic material with a temporary location of "basement compact shelving"; serial runs and other material that could not be accommodated elsewhere, etc. All material located in BCS that is not Z classed must have a blue dot affixed on or near the call number label. This blue dot acts as a rubric for material located here. 

"Z" classed material: this material is given a holdings location of "main"* (and not "main,sto"). [*to be confirmed]

A blue dot is not affixed. 

Items ordered for the "tec" location are meant to support the work of librarians and staff working in the Technical Services area of the library. The bulk of this tec material is physically located within the Technical Services area on shelving outside the office of Head, Metadata. On occasion, items are ordered for this location, but are then routed to a librarian or staff situated in another area of the library. Current best practice is to add a non public note to field 852 of the holdings record indicating with whom or where the item is routed or situated. Items located in "tec" should always be suppressed, labelled FOR USE IN LIBRARY ONLY and coded with the item type of "nocirc".

Glenda

Reference: May 2022- "Ref" as a physical and holdings/item location is currently in transition. Material with a holdings location of "Ref" is currently located in Basement Compact Shelving. This  physical "Ref" location in BCS is temporary and the records have not been updated in anyway to reflect this. Follow signage in Basement Compact Shelving to locate the physical material. Route all "Ref" material to a Metadata supervisor.

Ready Reference: As of May 2022, its physical location is situated outside of the librarian "on duty" office on the main floor in the maps and atlases area.

Its rubric is "Ref". Current practice is to affix a "Ready Ref" label to all material located in here. (A small red dot was once affixed to the call number of ready reference designated material. This "red dot" was incorporated into the label when use of the red dot ceased.)

DDC Call Numbers

• Individual biographies (authors, poets) – place with author number with Z as second cutter
• Example:  Sendak, Maurice 823/S43Z__

• Books written in English and translated into other languages are classed with the English edition. Cutter for the translation.

For Main Stacks

PZ – is for children’s books that children would read

PN – books about children’s books (criticisms, etc.) 

• The Curriculum Library has a collection of old textbooks that were used in the province of British Columbia in the early 20th century. These textbooks are in the process of being digitized and added to the University of Victoria’s Internet Archive collection. A catalogue record will also be added to our Voyager database.
• The Digitization Unit scans each book and sends the file into the Internet Archive.  The title of the book and the Internet Archive URL are entered into an Excel spreadsheet.
• The book is then sent to Cataloguing.
• **Exceptions to the workflow: (May 2018) - Pia will sometimes request that existing items in our collection be changed to “Historical Texts.”  There is already an existing bibliographic record but books are not yet digitized or on the spreadsheet.  In this case, follow steps 3 – 8 of workflow, amending as needed.  Change call number as needed. If item has existing barcode on cover or in book, scratch it out. Give item new barcode on p-slip inserted in book.

• Open Excel spreadsheet at W: > LTEC > Cataloguing > Internet Archive > IA urls.xlsx
• Choose Historical Texts from the tabs along the bottom. Choose book from spreadsheet list, and open link.
• Check for a bibliographic record in Voyager and usual sources. There is no need to change the record to RDA if an existing bibliographic record already exists in Voyager. Make a copy and use this copy to catalogue Historical Text.  If none exist, create original.
• Catalogue book.

• Add notes:

• If there is a bookplate add a second 590 note. If it is a UVIC bookplate, don’t add.

• Create a holdings record:

• Holdings 008:  code “g” in 008 “method of acquisition” if item was a gift or was discarded from another library.
  • Do not code “g” in holdings of electronic digitized version of holdings record.
• Write call number on upper left of acid-free paper slip.  Rubric is CURRIC. All call numbers should include date.  Attach barcode vertically to the upper right of the slip, as pictured here:

• Create an item record.  The permanent location code in the holdings record = curr,hist which corresponds to the permanent location in the item record:

**If book is a Historical Text that has not yet been digitized, end procedure here. Attach note to indicate book is not yet digitized. Give book to Shelley to put in Gifts room on appropriate shelf.  (Nov. 18, 2018 – Pia)

**If book has been digitized and is listed on spreadsheet, continue with the following steps:

• Add barcode number to Excel spreadsheet. 
• Highlight the appropriate line on the Excel spreadsheet in yellow to indicate that the title has been done. 
• Construct a second bibliographic record for the digital e-book, following the steps below:

• Once the print book has been catalogued, any digitized BC Historical School Textbook needs a second (e-book) bibliographic record.  An appropriate OCLC record can be used, if one exists.  Otherwise, make a copy of our bibliographic record, and amend the record to indicate an e-resource as follows:

• Create a Holdings record:

B.C. Historical Textbooks Transferred to Special Collections

The Education Librarian selects the B.C. Historical Textbooks that will be transferred to the Special Collections.- Overflow (sc-ovflw) location.

The selected books will be brought to Metadata to update the location and loan policy for each item.

NOTE: The "Circulation Desk Operator, Mearns-McPherson Desk" Fulfillment user role is required to update the location.

Follow these steps:

1. Change your physical location to: Mearns-McPherson Library – Mearns-McPherson Desk

2. Use: Fulfillment > Scan In Items > Change Item Information
   1. Set up Change Item Information as follows:
      1. Change Type: Permanent
      2. Item Policy: sc-ncir
      3. Location: Special Collections – Overflow
      4. Select Check Requests
   2. Scan item barcode (ensure curser is in the “Scan item barcode” field)

1. 3. Ensure that all scanned details are correct and that the changes have been applied to the correct book

3. Pencil in location (in parentheses) and call number on the upper right hand corner of the inside back cover. Go to the next plain page if the page is too dark or if it is a decorative page.

4. Leave all flags in the book
5. Next book, start at step 2, Fulfillment > Scan In Items > Change Item Information,
   1. Remove existing barcode from the "Scan item barcode" field
   2. Scan in new barcode
6. Complete steps 3 and 4
7. Repeat until all locations have been updated

• *check 513.J__ for examples     
• Text comes first in holdings, then teacher’s edition is __12 then other materials after (worksheets, etc.).
• Teacher key is often ending in __14
• Student workbook often ends in __13 (check samples)

• Add a 590 indicating that the copies differ.
• 590 $a Library’s copy 2 has larger font size and thus has 119 pages.

• Treat it as a rush.

• See Bib 3248505 as an example of how the record differs. Leader ‘type of record’ changes to ‘e’ – printed cartographic material. Ensure that the 007 and 008 are appropriately encoded.

ESTC (ENGLISH SHORT TITLE CATALOGUE)

The British Library's English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) is a union catalogue recording holdings for more than 2,000 libraries world-wide. It covers monograph and serial letterpress items that are:

• published between 1473 and 1800
• mainly, but not exclusively, in English
• published mainly in the British Isles and North America
• from the collections of the British Library and over 2,000 other libraries

When cataloging a book published before 1801, search for the item in the ESTC database.

Compare the pagination, publisher, publication date, notes, etc. in order to determine if the item in hand matches the ESTC record.

If a matching record is found, add the ESTC Citation number to the bibliographic record in the 510 field.

• 510 4_ ‡a ESTC, ‡c T62594

Do not include leading zeros in the ESTC number. Example: record ESTC R019768 as: 510 4_ ‡a ESTC, ‡c R19768

Add a pink ESTC flag to the item to indicate to SC that there is an ESTC number in the record. Do not write the ESTC number on the flag.

SC will add UVic holdings to ESTC.

SC will let Metadata know if the ESTC number in the bibliographic record needs to be updated.

Example:

RBMS Controlled Vocabularies

Metadata will add, when appropriate, RBMS (Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries) Controlled Vocabularies to bibliographic records for rare and unique printed materials in Special Collections.

Background

The RBMS vocabularies are developed and controlled by the RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee and provide a standardized vocabulary for the description of rare books by form, genre, and/or other physical characteristics including binding, paper, printing and publishing evidence, provenance evidence, and type evidence. These characteristics are of particular interest to some researchers and will aid in the discoverability of the unique and special aspects of the Special Collections rare book collection. 
The Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) standards recommend the addition of RBMS terms for full-level records. In addition, many libraries, such as the American Antiquarian Society, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University, are already incorporating the RBMS vocabularies into their descriptive cataloguing of special collections. 
As per the June 10, 2020 meeting minutes for the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group, work is underway to publish these vocabularies as part of the Library of Congress Linked Data Service (id.loc.gov). The PCC also has this listed as Strategic Direction 5.2 for 2018-2021: “Institute a process for endorsing vocabularies for PCC use, developing best practices and documentation … [with] specialist communities (ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section …)”

Use of RBMS Controlled Vocabularies

The RBMS Controlled Vocabularies will be used for the following types of Special Collections printed materials:
-    Books published/printed earlier than 1910
-    Rare and/or limited edition books
-    One of a kind books (i.e. artists’ books)
-    Books with unusual and/or special characteristics (i.e. author’s autograph, bookplate)
-    Books identified by Associate Director of Special Collections

Apply terms as appropriate and only if readily ascertainable.

• Do not subdivide terms.

RBMS Controlled Vocabularies

Examples:

Manuscripts

AMREMM (Descriptive cataloging of ancient, medieval, Renaissance, and early modern manuscripts)  - Used primarily for describing manuscripts of pre-modern, scriptorium era. There is also a copy located in: TEC Z695.5 P37 2003. 

DCRM(MSS) - Provides guidelines and instructions for the description of individual textual manuscripts. The term "manuscript" includes unpublished textual items.

• Manuscripts are unique items, and though facsimile reprints of manuscripts are sometimes available, can necessitate original cataloging.
• Acquisitions often provides a printed auction description of the item; and the auction site may still be available online for copy and paste of such details. 
• Be sure to include alternative titles and spellings of same, and sufficient subject headings to provide multiple access points.
• Manuscripts are similar to books in general but may require a different method of entering information in the 300 field (especially if using the AMREMM standard). 
• Manuscripts require a more extensive description.  Make sure all names, places etc. are traced and that there are sufficient subject headings to provide multiple access points. 
• Add a 650 Manuscripts [etc] – Specimens and a 655 Specimens.

Examples:

​INCUNABULA (produced prior to 1501) & PRE-1800 MATERIAL

• Use DCRM(B) - Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books). 
• Title pages often contain more information than modern ones do. A name is often accompanied by titles, other works, places, etc. There may be dedications, or an imprimatur (a license for publication granted by an ecclesiastical or secular authority).
• Enter the entire title page in the appropriate 245, 250 and 264 fields, including addresses.  However, if the full title would make the 245 too unwieldy, some parts, such as contents so often included with other title information, can be eliminated and recorded in a note.
• The imprint often includes the addresses of the publishers, printers etc.  During this time period, the printer was often the publisher and the bookseller, the terms being somewhat flexible and often interchangeable.
• Items may lack an imprint date, or include one in an archaic form. (French publications from 1793-1805 often used the Republican calendar, with the new year beginning on September 22, 1792, and the names of the months and days were changed. Differences between the Julian and Gregorian calendars can be misleading: until 1751 the legal year in England began on March 25; this can be reflected on the title page as “February 15 1700/1701”. A code-like chronogram may be used, and must be interpreted. 
• For works published in the British Isles and North America between 1473 and 1800, (usually in English) check the English Short Title Catalogue. Refer to ESTC section.

Field 590 is not added to UA purchased items.

UVic Publications

In the past, all UVic publications were classified in LE3 Vxxx. This often created long cutter numbers, particularly with the second cutter, since they were cuttered by main entry (which was usually University of Victoria …).

Around 2002, the policy was changed so that publications are now being classified in the subject area rather than in LE3 (i.e. Centre on Aging bulletin classified in the “Aging” classification range) -- from Document written by SJ/2012, Classification & Cuttering of Serials. 

(Policy confirmed October 2016 via email exchange with Jane Morrison, Associate University Archivist.)

UVic Public Lecture Series - Visual Recordings

Public lectures are delivered periodically at UVic covering a range of general interest topics. With the permission of the lecturer, UVic Television Services records each lecture. One copy is burned to a DVD and sent to Metadata in batches.  If there is more than one format, we get a hard copy (disc) of each format. When the videos arrive in Metadata, they are arranged by date and given the next accession number for that year. Each years number sequence begins at no. 001.

AS OF JUNE 2018, Music & Media no longer wants a copy of the lectures.

Send one copy of each format (disc) to University Archives:

• A brief record for each video tape/DVD title is made
• No subject headings are assigned
• Classed as a set with the appropriate call number as shown in the table below
• If the format of the disc is other than DVD, then the format becomes part of the call number (after the accession number 
  • Example: AS42 ‡i V5L3 2018 no. 001d ‡m MP4 
  • Other formats received so far have included MP4, M4V
