Subject: RE: Inquiry regarding acceptance of serial gifts (Tom
McFarland)
Please, all of you serial folks, especially serials catalogers, I
need your input:
In your library, which of the following things are considered the
work of the serials CATALOGER, which are done by support staff (and
is that under supervision of professional or no?), and which are
clerical or student assistant tasks:
a) cataloging new periodical titles - MLS encumbered
b) cataloging periodical title changes - MLS
c) closing out cessations - Library Technical Assistant
d) closing out cancellations - Lib.Tech
e) inventory of periodical holdings (ie, checking shelves)-LibTech
f) cleanup of retrocon (splitting out to successive entry old
titles
not yet split) - MLS
g) cleanup of retrocon (titles for which entries in OCLC don't
exist or records are incomplete or inaccurate or other
problems) - MLS
h) union list entry management - LibTech
i) adding holdings statements to records -LibTech
j) adding subject headings from OCLC records to existing PAC
records -
which have none
k) adding 510 fields from OCLC records to existing PAC records
In addition, are any of you doing any other bibliographic record en-
hancements? If so, what? and what level staff is doing it?
I think that's all ... but it's Sunday afternoon, and it's very hot,
and my brain is on overload. Thanks VERY much for any input you can
all give, especially fairly large libraries. I owe you all big time.
