Cataloging popular music recordings.
ByTerry Simpkins
Abstract. This paper
provides an overview of the cataloging process for popular music sound
recordings, from the initial description of the item to the final assignment of
subject headings and name and/or title access points. While isolated aspects of the process have been covered in
general elsewhere, little has been written describing the entire process especially
as applied to popular music recording cataloging specifically. The paper also briefly discusses useful
reference sources for popular music cataloging and problems of indexing and
keyword searching as they relate to popular music recordings.
Keywords: Sound recordings, popular music, cataloging, keyword
searching, subject cataloging, descriptive cataloging, music cataloging,

Cataloging Non-Music Sound
Recordings. By Robert B. Freeborn
Abstract. Non-music sound
recordings are a unique and often overlooked format with special
characteristics that need to be considered in terms of bibliographic control
and access. This article is intended to
aid those catalogers who don't normally handle such formats by providing both a
list of recommended tools and practical advice on all areas of the
bibliographic record.
Keywords: Non-music sound recordings, audiobooks, cataloging
Videorecording Cataloging: Problems
and Pointers. By Jay Weitz
Abstract. "Videorecording Cataloging:
Problems and Pointers" assumes basic knowledge of MARC 21 and the AACR2
cataloging rules for videorecordings.
Not intended to be a comprehensive review of videorecording cataloging,
it instead concentrates on areas that have proven to be problems for
catalogers. Included among the topics
discussed are sources of information, when to input a new record, special
issues regarding music videos, DVDs and other videodiscs, colorized versions,
letterboxed versions, closed captioning and audio enhancement, treatment of
certain types of titles, statements of responsibility and credits, field 007,
dates, numbers associated with videos, genre headings, locally made
videorecordings, "In" analytics, statements of responsibility, and
collection level cataloging.

The Microcomputer Revolution. By Ann M. Sandberg-Fox
Abstract. With the introduction of the microcomputer in the 1980s, a revolution
of sorts was initiated. In libraries this was evidenced by the acquisition of
personal computers and the software to run on them. All that catalogers needed
were cataloging rules and a MARC format to ensure their bibliographic control. However, little did catalogers realize they
were dealing with an industry that introduced rapid technological changes,
which effected continual revision of existing rules and the formulation of
special guidelines to deal with the industry’s innovative products. This
article focuses on the attempts of libraries and organized cataloging groups to
develop the Chapter 9 descriptive cataloging rules in AACR2; it highlights
selected events and includes cataloging examples that illustrate the evolution
of the chapter.
Keywords. Cataloging of microcomputer software, Descriptive
