Enhancing Pre-AACR2 Records for Chinese-American Scholars’ Publication: UCSD's Project

UCSD Libraries

The Problem A sample of bibliographic citations given by Prof. Esherick to

his students in Modern Chinese History class at UCSD: * Chow, Tse-tsung. The May Fourth Movement: Intellectual

Revolution in Modern China. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1960.

* Ho, Ping-ti. Studies on the Population of China, 1368-1953.

Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1959.

But, his students complained that by searching the author name, they

could not find these books, and when they searched the title, they were not sure if the books were written by the right authors. Also, the students did not know how to make the correct citations for these titles because of the confusing library records.

Discussion of the problem

With the faculty, students, and the library staff at the UCSD

With the library colleagues on EastLibA list of 32 Chinese American scholars was

created in 2005

Causes of the problem Missing authorship statement in Pre-AACR2 records

Pre-AACR2 records do not require transcription of statement of responsibility (245c)

This is OK before Pinyin conversion. Because most forms used in name headings (100/700) are the same as forms used in publication.

Pinyin conversion added another layer of complexity Many headings for Chinese-American scholars

changed from Wade-Giles to Pinyin that often differ from what is in their publication.

Became a major problem for confusion. Inconsistency between UCSD catalog (Roger) and UC

union catalog (Melvyl) Some records are still in WG Melvyl doesn’t provide authority control

Project Planning Quick search of records that are non-Chinese

and don’t have 245c in our library catalog: 3,499 records with “China” in subject headings 3,652 records with “Chinese” in subject headings

Not all these publications written by Chinese-American scholars

Can’t determine if the form used in a name heading (100/700) is the same as it is in his/her book, unless check the book

Project focus on 32 authors 374 records were reviewed to determine which

one would be taken out of stacks 183 records were in English 169 titles were taken from stacks Among books being taken from stacks

3 records remain no change because no statement of responsibility found on t.p. or anywhere in book

69 records enhanced locally by added 245c (41 DLC) 20 records enhanced on OCLC (12 DLC) –mostly

adding Chinese parallel information

Project Process Students did initial search by author, printed records that

didn’t have 245c or any records in question, and took books out of stacks based on printouts

Cataloging review on when to enhance locally or on OCLC Most records only need to add 245c but if on OCLC

we would have to convert pre-AACR2 records to AACR2 records

Due to limited time and staff, most records enhanced locally

53 out of 92 records that lack 245c are DLC records (57.6%)

Project was last about 4 months and completed in Sep.

Questions / Discussion What options would you have to enhance your local

library catalog and improve access to Chinese-American scholars’ publication?

What options would OCLC CJK Users have to make shared efforts to benefit the East Asian studies community as whole, especially libraries using OCLC?

More than half of these pre-AACR2 records are DLC records, what are alternative approaches to enhance these records on OCLC? BIBCO CJK User Group shared project OCLC Quality Control
