Part 1Answer the following questions within this exam. With the exception of question 3, each answer should be around 200-300 words (if you are a little above or a little below that amount, that's fine). I expect an answer of around 300-400 words for question #3. Cite your sources if you directly quote or paraphrase a source. Use in-text citations and list your sources at the end of your answer.

1) Review Charles Cutter's Objects and Means for a library catalog. Now consider RDA as a manual for achieving those objectives. Identify two specific RDA rules (meaning: include the RDA rule number) that help make Cutter's objectives an achievable reality. Briefly discuss your choices and how each will make Cutter happy.

Charles Cutter’s Objects and Means is demonstrated in multiple ways through the RDA manual. In Cutter’s Objects and Means, he emphasizes the importance of a person being able to find a book of which the subject is known as well as showing what the library has on a given subject (Cutter). These objects advocate the means to provide subject-entry (Cutter). In RDA toolkit, Cutter’s objects and means regarding subject-entry is reflected through rule number 0.6.7 Section 7. This section states, “When recording relationships between a work and an entity that is the subject of that work, include as a minimum at least one subject relationship element (RDA Toolkit).” This rule highlights Cutter’s objects and means by creating and cataloging subject relationships among multiple works. RDA combines Cutter’s objects and means with FRBR’s entity-based model to ensure the specific subject terms when cataloging in order to assist patrons in finding exactly what the need more easily. This would make Cutter very happy.

Another way that RDA correlates with Cutter’s Objects and Means is through Cutter’s stress of bibliographic edition information and notes. According to Cutter, giving the edition of and notes on a work can contribute to the selection of a work (Cutter). RDA utilizes edition statements and notes through rules 2.5.1 and 2.20.4. Rule 2.5.1 includes basic instructions on recording all types of edition statements (RDA Toolkit). Rule 2.20.4 includes notes relating to edition statements including ‘the source of an edition statement, edition statements relating to issues, parts, etc., changes in edition statements, and other information relating to an edition statement’ (RDA Toolkit). Edition statements and other notes exemplify specific aspects of a work; thus, allowing easier selection of specific works. Cutter would be a very pleased librarian to see RDA in action.

Web. 04 Dec. 2013.___________________________________________________________________________________2) Choose one item from your personal collection or your local library (do not choose an item that has been used as a FRBR example in this course). Think about the item as it relates to the FRBR Group 1 Entities (Work, Expression, Manifestation, and Item). Discuss attributes of your item at the Work, Expression, Manifestation, and Item level. Describe how the library user will benefit from describing the item in this way within a library catalog.

LIS 703 Final Exam p. 4

The item I chose to relate to the FRBR conceptual model is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn from my own personal collection. According to the pamphlet, What is FRBR? A Conceptual Model for the Bibliographic Universe by Barbara Tillett, the Group 1 entities of FRBR include a work that is realized through an expression which is embodied in a manifestation that is exemplified by the item (Tillett). These entities were established in order to clarify the differentiation of specific items in a more comprehensible manner for the cataloger to meet user needs (Tillett). The Group 1 entities in FRBR contain inherent relationships and content relationships which work to formulate easier navigation through the bibliographic world (Tillet).

I FRBR-ized Gone Girl in terms of FRBR’s Group 1 entities. The first Group 1 entity is a work. According to Lesson 1: RDA&FRBR by Karen Snow, a work is a “distinct intellectual or artistic creation” and/or “ideas that a person has in their head” (Snow). The work entity of my item is Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl. The second Group 1 entity of FRBR is expression. Snow describes the expression as the way a work is realized through different types of notations (Snow). The expression entity of my item is an original edition of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl. The third Group 1 entity is manifestation. The manifestation entity is described by Snow as an expression of a work that is recorded in some way on a container or carrier of a work (Snow). The manifestation of my item is the copyrighted 2012 first edition publication by Crown Publishers. The fourth Group 1 entity is the item itself. Snow describes the item as “one example or copy of a manifestation” (Snow). The item itself is Barb Posinger’s personal copy of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.

The library user would benefit from FRBR-ized descriptions because they would assist the user in discovering an item that more adequately suits their particular needs. This would be done by beginning a search for a more general concept (or work) and then narrowing it down to a particular item that accommodates the user’s personal preferences. The FRBR conceptual model provides relationships among every type of expression, manifestation and item surrounding a work in a comprehensive way that makes finding a particular item easier for the user.

Your immediate supervisor thinks you have done a great job so far, but there have been major rumblings about lack of funding from the Library Board. Your job is on the line, due in large part to the Board's continuing conviction that cataloging just isn't worth it. In a rare moment of mercy, the Board has given you a chance to talk to them directly. You have the opportunity to convince them that the work of the cataloger is critical to the success of the library.

In the space below, discuss your presentation to the Board. Choose two things you feel make the best case for the role of cataloging. Reflect upon the work you have done this semester and consider everything we discussed. When choosing your points to argue, keep in mind the benefits for the catalog user. Support your case with specific examples and cite at least two of the readings (articles and/or textbooks) in your answer.

LIS 703 Final Exam p. 5

Cataloging is an integral part of the library with which the absence of would destroy its very foundation. There are multiple reasons why cataloging is critical to the success of the library, but here, I am going to present the two points that I feel best express why. First is the all-encompassing need for organization. Secondly, cataloging has always found a way to effectively evolve to changing and pressurized environments in order to provide the absolute best means of information organization and retrieval for the library’s users. Cataloging is not a practice that can be eliminated without severe consequence. I advocate in favor of its survival.

Humans seem to possess an innate need for organization. This point has been drastically overlooked. Not only is there an innate need for it, but humanity absolutely needs organization to function the way we have over time. The Organization of Information states, “human learning is based upon the ability to analyze, organize, and retrieve data, information, and knowledge; to recognize patterns; to compare experiences, concepts and ideas; and to process the relationships among all of these” (Taylor 2). For example, say a user was attempting a search for a non-fiction book about mummies in Ancient Egypt and the library did not have a cataloged system of their inventory. If they were even to find materials at all, they would not be categorized appropriately (fiction vs. non-fiction), may not represent the correct geographical place and period (Ancient Egypt), they would not have a record providing extra resources on the same topic (conceptual relationships), etc. Cataloging is the most influential form of organization and demonstrates all of the aspects of human learning stated above.

Cataloging has evolved through time to organize information in a comprehensible way for their users. As time passes, change happens and adaptation is necessary. An example of this is when card catalogs were invented to sustain effective information retrieval when the original organization system was pressured by a growing number of resources. Disbanding a science that has proven it could evolve successfully to changing environments is not necessary. It would be far more beneficial if libraries could find a way to compromise with the new digital order to better support the needs of users and librarians alike. In the article Library Data in a Modern Context, author Karen Coyle states, “The change that we must address is that the Web is increasingly the source of information for searchers and researchers, and that the library needs to be interconnected with that web of data” (Coyle 12). Coyle also states, “The data that exists today in library catalogs could enhance the Web” (Coyle 12). If the Web and the library catalogers worked as allies, each would be given the opportunity to collaborate, grow and thrive together in order to enhance the overall organization of information. If Bliss Public Library eliminates cataloging, they would be eliminating this opportunity.

Throughout time, cataloging has provided the most efficient and comprehensible means of the organization of information through a myriad of versatile ways. These work as pathways for the user and librarian that lead to the most complete and specific resources that would answer their query most effectively. According to The Organization of Information, “Organizing has been going on since the first appearance of humans, because it seems to be such an innate need. Arrival at this current state of organization has taken centuries” (Taylor 417). The attempt to rid Bliss Library of

LIS 703 Final Exam p. 6

their catalogers would be doing their society an injustice. The lack of professionally cataloged records would negatively affect society far more profoundly than could be imagined. To this, I ask to please reconsider your convictions. Cataloging has always been, and will always be, worth it.

Part 2In this section, you must provide a bibliographic record for each of the items represented here. Use the information provided for you to create your records. You will be provided with a title page, title page verso, cover, and/or a table of contents, as well as further information about each item (such as page numbers and dimensions). Assume that each item below is an actual book, written by actual people. Make sure you find the preferred forms of names, series titles, and subject headings. Use the templates (variable and fixed field) provided to transcribe your answers. Use MARC coding for all answers!

You will not need to use every field for every record. Leave the MARC field blank if you do not use it. You do not need to delete it. Please feel free to add fields as needed (e.g., add an additional 246 for multiple variant title fields.) In MARC field codes, replace the x's in with the appropriate MARC field code (e.g., change 5xx to 504 for a note on the inclusion of a bibliography). The underscores ( _ ) represent the first (1st) and second (2nd) indicators. Replace the underscore with the appropriate indicator value where needed.

Please transcribe your answers using blue font.
