Configuring the Cataloging Module
Based on this you can develop a plan that looks something like this:
Question
Plan
Use Authority Control?
Yes
Create authority records before bibliographic records
are created, or after they are created
After bibliographic records
are created
Do you want bibliographic records to be automatically
Yes
updated when authority records are updated?
Identifying frequently cataloged types
of material
Create a list of materials that are cataloged often and have distinct bibliographic
characteristics, in terms of fields and subfields that are commonly used.
Our list might look something like this:
Books
Serials
Visual materials
Reports/ Dissertations
Electronic material
You will need to create a Bibliographic framework for each item in this list.
Identifying MARC field sets for each type
of material
For each type of material above, we will list the fields and subfields that will be used
during cataloging. For instance, for books, we might want a field set similar to this:
020: ISBN
082: Call number
1XX: Author fields
245: Title
260$a: Place of publication
260$b: Publisher
[74]
