[Yulcat-l] Video cataloging documentation links on Cataloging at Yale/Special Formats

[Steven Arakawa]

Four new documents have been added to Cataloging at Yale/Special Formats:

1. Searching, Selecting, and Verifying Video Cataloging Copy for 
Preliminary and Cataloged Records. <tips on searching for and verification 
of cataloging copy>

http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/Orbis2Manual/videocopy.htm

2. Video: New Cataloging Fixed Fields Checklist. May be helpful for 
catalogers new to video cataloging and may function as a possible resource 
for acquisitions or copy cataloging. Based primarily on OCLC Bibliographic 
Formats & Standards.

3. Video (DVD & Videocassette) Original Cataloging Checklist. Part 1. Since 
LC does not use AACR2 to catalog moving images, LCRI guidance is not 
comparable in fullness to books. Items 3 & 4 compile best practices from 
OLAC, OCLC Bibliographic Formats & Standards,  the handful of LCRIs that 
apply to PCC video cataloging,  SCM guidelines on subject access to video, 
and local YUL decisions. One noteworthy YUL decision approved by CCC is to 
apply the AACR2 option and use the  common usage term "DVD" rather than the 
AACR2 standard term "videodisc" for the smd in 300. (No attempt will be 
made to change use of the term in cataloging copy.)

PS: Although the SML Cataloging Procedures for media are location-specific, 
I have also added a link to the media document on the Cataloging at 
Yale/Special Formats page for convenience.

Direct link:

Also for convenience, a link to the SML policies and procedures for call 
numbers assigned to videos has been added to the Special Formats page.

Questions, corrections & suggestions can be sent to me.
