RTSD-AV LIAISON'S REPORT OF OLAC
Verna Urbanski, the OLAC Chair, issues an eloquent plea in this issue for more membership involvement with OLAC. This involvement has become especially critical as OLAC approaches its first decade of existence--a "comfortable middle age" for an organization of this nature. Only you, the membership, can generate the energy and enthusiasm to keep OLAC on the cutting edge of audiovisual cataloging, as well as responsive to your needs and concerns.
I have a great personal interest in soliciting membership involvement in OLAC. This issue will be my next-to-last as editor of the Newsletter. I have found the position of Newsletter editor to be very demanding, but challenging and rewarding. I am eager to pass this responsibility on to someone who is ready for the professional growth and personal commitment that this position entails.
Elsewhere in the Newsletter, Glenn Patton, past chair of OLAC, has prepared an excellent description of this position. I urge anyone with an interest in writing and editing, as well as AV cataloging, to give the position serious consideration. For additional information on the job's responsibilities, feel free to call or write to me:
DEADLINE FOR THE DECEMBER, 1989 ISSUE: OCTOBER 27, 1989
OLAC's "nearly perpetual" cycle of elections begins again with this issue of the newsletter. Nominations are being sought for the offices of Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect and for Secretary. Those interested in contributing to the on-going vigor and health of the organization are asked to send a letter indicating interest by January 31, 1990 (details elsewhere in this issue). Nominations can also be made from the floor during the OLAC business session at ALA's Midwinter Meeting in Chicago. The slate of candidates will be published in the March issue of the newsletter with ballots due by the end of May.
For the past two years no challenge has been offered to the single member volunteering to run for each of the available offices. While this makes the job of ballot counting a snap, it would be rewarding to see interest expressed by some of you fantastic folks out there who are strong supporters of OLAC and its mission. Make this your year to be courageous and commit to maintaining the strength of this organization. We had such a wonderful turn out for the OLAC conference in Los Angeles, it reaffirmed to the Board that OLAC fills an important role in the working lives of hundreds and hundreds of librarians. To keep the organization vital it is essential to have "new blood" with new ideas and fresh perspectives. We old standbys have done a great job for the membership but infusions of committed, renewing energy are always necessary to the successful development of plans, programs and agendas.
Please take the time to consider -- Is it time to be an officer in OLAC? Is it time to volunteer to help on planning a conference? Is it time to give a presentation at an OLAC conference? To share unique insights? To give of your special expertise? Is it time to send Verna that question OCLC answered so it can be included in the Q&A column and shared with a wide audience? Is it time to send her a question you need an answer to? (Paid political announcement!!!) Is it time to apply for an open seat on CAPC? Is it time to attend an OLAC meeting during conference, get to know people and get involved?
These are all ways to support OLAC after you send in your membership check. If each member does a little the biggest and best gets done. OLAC has without exception been notable for its excellent leaders. Be part of the continuing tradition. Get on the bandwagon!!!!!

LONG TIME CC:DA AUDIENCE OBSERVER NEEDS A BREAK ! !
Marilyn Craig, long time audience observer at CC:DA (Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access) meetings on behalf of OLAC, has run into scheduling conflicts due to other committee assignments. As some of you may remember, OLAC lost the right to send an official liaison from OLAC to CC:DA a few years ago. Since that time Marilyn has attended CC:DA meetings for us and reported to OLAC on topics of interest to AV catalogers. If there is an OLAC member who would like to take over this role as audience observer for OLAC beginning at Midwinter would you please contact immediate past Chair of OLAC Glenn Patton to express your interest:
The Executive Board of OLAC is looking for a few good catalogers for upcoming openings on the Cataloging Policy Committee of Online Audiovisual Catalogers. CAPC represents the "concerns of audiovisual catalogers in matters relating to the formation, interpretation, and implementation of national and international cataloging standards and related matters." Members serve a two-year term.
Qualified candidates should have three years of current experience cataloging AV materials or equivalent experience. Additionally, candidates should interact regularly with online cataloging systems or have demonstrable knowledge of such systems. Most CAPC business is conducted during ALA midwinter meetings and annual conferences. Candidates for appointment to CAPC must be willing to commit time and funds as necessary to attend these meetings.
Appointments are made by the Chair of OLAC, following consultation and review of applications by the current Executive Board and the current Chair of CAPC. New members will be appointed at the January Executive Board meeting and notified immediately by the Chair of OLAC. Newly appointed members will receive all CAPC mailings from that point forward. New CAPC members, while not voting members until their term takes effect following the ALA annual conference, should expect to attend the ALA annual CAPC meeting and may volunteer for, or be assigned, projects for the following six-month period.
If you are a member of OLAC and are interested in serving on CAPC, submit a recent resume and a cover letter which addresses your qualifications. Send applications to Sharon Almquist, the current chair of CAPC:
When you sent in your membership form to join OLAC, you purchased more than membership, more than the OLAC NEWSLETTER, more than the right to attend fabulous meetings and programs. You bought out-right the privilege of contributing your time and talents to running the organization. And here is a fresh opportunity. Nominations are being sought for the offices of Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect of OLAC and for OLAC Secretary. Those interested in learning about the organization from the inside are asked to send a letter indicating which office they would like to run for. Nominations will be accepted from the floor during the OLAC business session at ALA's Midwinter Meeting in Chicago.
A Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect is elected annually and serves a one-year term as Vice- Chair, followed by one year as Chair and then a year as immediate past Chair. S/he performs all duties delegated by the Chair and presides at meetings when the Chair cannot attend. The Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect must attend all business meetings while in office or provide a suitable substitute at least two weeks before the meeting takes place.
The Secretary serves a two-year term, the election to be held in years alternating with that of the office of Treasurer. The next Secretary will serve from summer 1990 to summer 1992. The Secretary attends all business meetings and must meet the same attendance requirements as the Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect. The Secretary is responsible for preparation of official minutes of all business, Board and/or special meetings of OLAC, to be published in a timely manner in the OLAC NEWSLETTER as well as reported as needed at the semi-annual OLAC business meetings. The Secretary also handles any official OLAC correspondence at the direction of the Chair or the Executive Board.
Members of the Executive Board receive a $100 stipend for attending OLAC business meetings during ALA conferences. If you wish to volunteer for either position, please submit a brief description of your qualifications and professional activities to be printed with the ballot. Submit this information by:
If someone nominates you, the Chair of the Nominating Committee, J. O. Wallace, will contact you to see if you are willing to serve and to get your brief resume and campaign statement.
Send your letters of interest to:
The OLAC Executive Board is seeking applicants for the position of Newsletter Editor. The new editor will assume the responsibility for the Newsletter , beginning with the first issue of Volume 10 (March 1990).
The Editor of the OLAC Newsletter is responsible for maintaining the quality of, and seeing to the overall organization and production of, the newsletter. S/he sets the publication and submission deadlines for staff editors (News and Articles Editor, Book Review Editor, Conference Reports Editor, and Questions & Answers Editor), insures that those editors deliver submissions following an agreed upon and disseminated set of deadlines, reviews and edits the final submissions and determines the article sequence and layout.
S/he also is responsible for the actual process of publication and distribution of the newsletter, including input of text, editing and proofreading, selection of a printer, assembly, and mailing. The Editor acts and speaks for the newsletter staff when giving reports and summarizing activities.
The successful candidate for the position of Editor will have demonstrated skills as a writer/editor. S/he will have demonstrated ability to deal tactfully with others. The candidate needs to have access to telephone service for long distance calling and to be able to attend ALA Midwinter and Annual meetings and OLAC conferences for the purpose of serving on the Executive Board of OLAC and keeping members and the Board informed regarding the operation of the Newsletter. Access to an IBM (or compatible) PC is essential, as is knowledge of PC-based word processing. Familiarity with production techniques is desirable.
The newsletter editor receives a $300 stipend for each newsletter produced, as well as a $100 stipend per conference for attending ALA Annual and Midwinter Conferences.
OLAC members wishing to be considered for the position should write to the OLAC Past Chair (Glenn Patton, OCLC, 6565 Frantz Road, Dublin OH 43017). Please submit a letter indicating your interest and abilities, a complete resume and recent samples of your writing.
The deadline for submitting applications is November 3, 1989. Applications will be circulated to the Executive Board of OLAC.
If you have questions, please contact the OLAC Past Chair (Glenn Patton, 634-764-6371) or the current editor (Grace Agnew, 404-294-6641).
Glenn Patton, immediate past chair of OLAC, chairs the important OLAC Award Committee. This annual award honors a librarian who has made significant contributions to the advancement and understanding of audiovisual cataloging. The committee will select a recipient based on nominations received, subject to approval by the Executive Board at the Midwinter meeting.
Eligibility for nomination is as follows:
Send all nominations, by November 15, 1989, to:
The Board meeting was called to order at 8:05 PM by Glenn Patton. Other Board members present were Catherine Leonardi, Ellen Hines, and J.O. Wallace. Guests present were Anne Moore, Bo-Gay Tong, Sheila Smyth, Sharon Almquist, Dorian Martyn, Bobby Ferguson, and Laurel Jizba. The minutes of the previous meeting were approved as written.
Grace's imminent departure from the position of Newsletter Editor was discussed again. Glenn mentioned that some "interest" had been expressed in the opening after Saturday's OLAC Business meeting, but no firm commitments were given. The ad for this upcoming vacancy will be re-run in the next issue of the newsletter, in the hopes of allowing the new editor to work directly with Grace on at least one issue. Glenn said that depending on how this situation is (or is not) resolved, the Board may need to meet via a conference call this Fall to discuss our options.
Beginning at January's Midwinter meeting in Chicago, Nancy Olson will he OLAC's MARBI representative, replacing Ben Tucker.
Marilyn Craig is interested in giving up her position as CC:DA observer. No definite resignation date has yet been given, but we will be placing an ad for the position in the next newsletter. A replacement should be named at Midwinter.
Glenn mentioned some discussions he had been having with Sheila Intner (Chair of CCS) on the subject of OLAC asking CCS for a return to liaison status with respect to CC:DA. However, some concern was expressed as to how this request might affect our current relationship with the RTSD AV committee. Much discussion ensued on the pros and cons of liaison vs. observer status, but in the end the Board decided not to pursue a change in our current status.
Glenn also said that since Dick Thaxter would no longer be OLAC's LC rep, he would be talking with Verna about writing to the Chief of LC's Special Materials Cataloging Division to communicate OLAC's desire to continue our solid relationship with LC.
OLAC received a letter from Mike Esman (RTSD AV) asking if OLAC would be interested in helping with the RTSD AV Chicago 1990 program on "minimal-level cataloging." We agreed to participate and Sharon Almquist was asked to select one of the new CAPC members to be our rep on this program.
Sheila presented the workshop/session topics her Conference Committee had suggested and most were approved by the Board, including:
The meeting was called to order at 8:05 PM by Glenn Patton, who introduced the Board members (Grace Agnew, Ellen Hines, and Cathy Leonardi.) Then, the minutes of the midwinter business meeting were approved.
Cathy feels that OLAC's increased membership is due in part to interest generated by last fall's Conference. Cathy's financial summary estimates that, contrary to initial concerns, OLAC will end up with a $365 profit from the California Conference.
Grace discussed her upcoming resignation (effective after the December 1989 issue) and encouraged any interested people to apply for the position. Ideally, someone appointed soon to this challenging position will be able to work directly with Grace for an issue, so the newsletter should be consulted for further details (the vacancy announcement will be reissued in the September 1989 newsletter).
Glenn reported on some format changes that were approved by MARBI (e.g.,"Type of machine" in Computer Files fixed fields is now obsolete; and in the AV media format, the =e relator terms for fields 1xx, 6xx, and 7xx are now repeatable). The MARC holdings format will be discussed in the upcoming Dallas MARBI meetings, and Glenn recommended the "Format integration" program scheduled for Tuesday, June 27th.
Marilyn Craig reported that CC:DA again discussed the issue of "multiple versions". A task force will be formed to define exactly what all the issues are (affects, ramifications, etc.) The JSC report consisted of a number of AV-related issues that were either tabled (the "activity card" question) or recommended for reworking and resubmitting (the =h gmd location question on items without a collective title).
Sheila Smyth discussed the RTSD-AV Subcommittee on Cataloging 1990 ALA program on "Minimal-level cataloging of audiovisual material" which OLAC is cosponsoring. (Earlier Mike Esman had briefly discussed this program and that Glenn Patton and Karen Homey would be among the speakers.) The new chair of the Producer/Distributors Library Relations Subcommittee of RTSD-AV is Bobby Ferguson, and Sheila reminded OLAC members to submit to her (or Bobby) any title discrepancies (using the form found in OLAC's March 1989 newsletter).
Lowell Ashley reviewed MOUG's March meeting in Cleveland. A reference task force is now working with OCLC on developing CD-ROM products for music. Presentations during the meeting focused on automated authority work, from designing systems to making the transition from manual to automated systems.
Barbara DeCoster said that WLN is currently searching for an "interim director." Glenn reported that the OCLC changes to the first update of USMARC were installed three weeks ago. New revision pages for the "Bibliographic input standards" should follow these changes. The first phase of OCLC's subject heading correction program (changing typos, obsolete subdivisions, etc.) is finished, and the next phase in being prepared.
CAT CD450 is now on the market and version 1.1 is about to be released. The EPIC service (reference-based searching system) is in field testing now with 4 million records from the online union catalog. OCLC's New Online System will be delayed somewhat due to a management decision to replace their current telecommunications network prior to implementation of the New System. Thus, rollout to users will not begin until mid-1990, at the earliest.
"Minimal Level Cataloging of Audiovisual Materials" will be the two-hour program at the 1990 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago. OLAC will be a co-sponsor.
The Microcomputer software program will be published in Technical Services Quarterly in early 1990.
Producers/Distributors Library Relations Subcommittee report:
MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
59TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
The Music Library Association will hold its 59th Annual Conference on February 20-24, 1990 at the Holiday Inn Broadway in Tuscon, Arizona. A preconference workshop, "Space Utilization in the Music Library: Creation, Renovation, Reorganization," will be held February 20-21. Sessions during the conference, February 21-24, include: bibliographic instruction revisited; Southwest Native American music; preservation of sound recordings; antiquarian music collection; and music therapy and other medical aspects of the performing arts. For more information, contact:
The Music Library Association is now inviting nominations for awards for 1988 publications in the fields of music and music bibliography. One prize will be awarded in each of three categories:
The Music Library Association is soliciting applications for the fifth annual Walter Gerboth Award, established in memory of the esteemed member of the Association, professor of music at Brooklyn College, and former head of the music library there.
The Award is given to a member of the Music Library Association who is in the first five years of his or her library career, and who is seeking assistance for a research project in progress in music librarianship or music bibliography. It is desirable that the research lead to publication.
An application should be accompanied by two letters of support, one for the person and one for the project, and should include vita as well as names of further references. The application should describe the project and its significance and show the total budget, specifying the amount requested from the Association (up to $1,000), sources of other funds, if any, and the purpose of the fund requested. No funds will be awarded for capital purchases.
Applications should be submitted by NOVEMBER 15, 1989 to:
Holzberlein, Deanne. Cataloging Sound Recordings: a Manual with Examples. New York: Haworth Press, 1988. 300 p. (Monographic supplement #1 to Cataloging and Classification Quarterly ISSN 0898-008X) $22.95 ISBN: 0-8865-679-09.
Topics are grouped in the order a cataloger would follow: uniform titles are discussed next to the chapter on classical music, etc. Illustrations, one of the monograph's best features, are photographs of recording labels, with the resulting catalog cards. There are also frequent references to AACR2 rules and LC rule interpretations.
This reviewer has several caveats, However. The book is not formatted for use as a manual, e.g. there are no running titles of other ways to distinguish between chapters. The footnotes, which refer to rule numbers, are difficult to locate. The glossary is a catch-all for left-over guidelines, comments and quotes. The overall editing is poor, e.g. "extant" for "extent" on p. 161. The author also seems to misunderstand some underlying principles, such as when she states that the motivation for full archival cataloging is the need to replace the item when lost or damaged. How does this apply to rare or unique items?
In Chapter 1, in the discussion about publisher's address, footnote 25 refers to nonexistent AACR2 rule 6.4C7. It is evident that rule 1.4C7 is intended, and the word "optional," which occurs in the LCRI and, subsequently, in AACR2Rev. has been omitted.
To be a truly useful tool, this book needs some more work, especially needs additional editing.
QUESTION: We are cataloging a set of six sound cassettes. The container and each cassette has the same main title, but the container has a descriptive subtitle that we would like to use in the title area of the description. Is that ok?
ANSWER: AACR2 rule 6.0B1 describes the chief source of information for recorded sound as being the cassette and its label. Use the title as found on the cassette for the main title. In this case the container does not fulfill the requirements of the third paragraph of 6.0B1, that is, it does not furnish a collective title when "the parts themselves and their labels do not." It merely furnishes a good descriptive subtitle. Add a subtitle note to the cataloging and trace the subtitle if it seems useful. --- VU
QUESTION: My institution is videotaping old government films and putting four of these old films on one tape. How should I catalog them and how do I do the 300 description?
ANSWER: Follow 7.1G and catalog based on whether or not your agency wants direct information about each of the titles. Unless there is a secret coordinated plan to have all the films on a video be on one topic, it is probably best to analyze each title with full cataloging and a "with" note (7.7B21) linking all the titles to the first. Since it is a locally reproduced item that is being cataloged, follow the guidelines in v.3, no.2 of the NEWSLETTER. For those lacking that issue:
QUESTION: We are cataloging quite a few computer programs. Some of them come to us after they have been installed on a hard disk in our Microcomputing Resource Center. In some cases the original floppies are stored at the Center as backups and we just get the packages without the disks. Sometimes the manuals are a different version than the software they are serving. So far we have used a note reading: Program may be installed on hard disk drive. Is there another idea of what to do with these?
ANSWER: I am not entirely sure who the audience is for the note you suggest. If you want to convey the fact that it was installed on a hard disk perhaps the note could say: This program has been installed on a hard disk at the Microcomputing Resources Center. When the manual version differs from the version of the software being cataloged make a note to that affect (9.7B7). --- VU
QUESTION: We subscribe to a videomagazine. It is issued in two forms. The main title is issued bi-weekly 24 times a year. Our subscription comes out 10 times a year and is intended to be used in the classroom to provide a stimulus for learning French. What we get really is one of the two videos issued per month. Can these be cataloged on the same record or is a separate record needed? The publisher's catalog refers to our product as a classroom edition.
ANSWER: Each should have a separate bibliographic record. A bracketed edition statement [Classroom ed.] may help identify the difference. Use a note that the edition statement is taken from publisher's information. [See OCLC #18219778 and #18758558 for the real life results.] --- VU
QUESTION: I was puzzled by Appendix 1 in the draft revision of chapter 9, "Draft Revision of Rule on Accompanying Material." The choice seems to be: a) use the name of the accompanying material, i.e., "teacher's notes," "atlas," or "maps" without arabic numerals, or, b) use the specific material designation with arabic numerals. Neither way serves the school libraries for which I catalog. "Booklet" without specifying the number isn't precise enough and "3 v." without indicating the nature of the accompanying volumes doesn't work either.
ANSWER: The problem with the draft revision's rule for accompanying material was one of my own concerns during the last round of negotiations on the new revisions for AACR2 among members of the Joint Steering Committee. In AACR2R the text is been reformulated so that there is really no change from AACR2 practice, except for making a greater effort to use numbers before the term. The example "teacher's notes" is rephrased to show this new emphasis: "1 set of teacher's notes." As far as the term itself, there is no change: you continue to use whatever is appropriate, which may be either the formal specific material designation or an informal term (often they are the same). --- Ben Tucker (LC)
The provisions for accompanying materials are clear and more useable in AACR2R than they were in AACR2. The examples at 1.5E and XX.5E in other chapters are a big help. Notice that 1.5E doesn't Provide an example of a generic term (1 booklet) used in combination with a full physical description (23 p.; 16 cm.). Chapters 6 and 10 do have such examples, so don't assume that you must say 1 v. in order to use the fuller physical description of accompanying material. Only chapter 4 lacks a provision for accompanying material. --- VU
QUESTION: We are cataloging museum posters. The kind that are used to advertise an exhibit or a special segment of a collection. My main concerns are: 1) whether to enter the work under the museum or the artist; 2) what to use for a title, the name of the museum department or exhibit, or actual title of the work being reproduced; 3) how to do the size of the poster, as the total poster, border to border; or just the size of the reproduction used on the poster.
ANSWER:
2) The title used would be the name of the exhibit. For posters which are publicity posters for the museum and have only the museum's name for a title, use that name as the title of the poster. For extensive poster collections it may be useful to provide a title or subtitle to differentiate one publicity poster from another.
3) Give the size of the entire poster. Rule 8.5D4 just says to give the size minus a frame or mount. If you would like to include the size of the reproduction, include it in a note. --- VU with Ben Tucker (LC)
ANSWER: Catalog these as a set posters. This material was probably produced to be used as a visual aid in the classroom, or, if it is finely illustrated, perhaps it is a collectible for a popular author. I seriously doubt that it was intended to be used as a book. --- VU
QUESTION: I am having trouble with the 007 for nonprojected graphics in the visual materials format. For us non-artists please distinguish between bristol board, cardboard, illustration board, hardboard and paper.
ANSWER: I would only code for these if I could identify each clearly. If I had a doubt I'd code $e "u". For $f, I'd leave it out unless coding for an archival collection. --- VU
QUESTION: How do you code the $e subfield of the 007 for projected graphics for transparencies? Are they safety film? Non-safety film or plastic?
ANSWER: Code $e "e" - synthetics. Most commercially issued transparencies have synthetic primary support material. --- Jay Weitz, OCLC
