MLA - April 29, 2004
To paraphrase somebody – Cataloging is
putting things away so that patrons can find them again
If this takes a little creativity, then so what!
At MBLWHOI, our patrons browse the OPAC, not the stacks, so our creativity is in the headings and authorities, not the classification numbers

MLA - April 29, 2004
There are only two kinds of peoplewho believe themselves able toread a MARC record without referring to a stack of manuals: a handful of our top catalogers, and those on serious drugs.

Series Name - 440
Technically the 440 (or the 490) is supposed to be what’s on the piece.
What’s traced is either a 440 or an 830.For some series which are important to
us, we put the authorized heading in the 440, no matter what.
It’s better for searching and display if all relevant items have it in the same tag.

This is tagged as a 650, 2nd ind 4, so that it indexes with the regular LC headings

Finding Images
We have a number of records which have links to images in them
Each of these records contains the following note: Record contains link to digital image
This makes it easy to do a boolean search to get relevant items, but only those with images
