## Session 3 Exercises

## Session 3 Exercises

- View the surrogate screen shot of the page of the resource as it appears to you at the time of copy cataloging.
- View the selected portion of the existing MARC record as created when the original cataloger viewed a past iteration of the resource
- Update that part of the MARC record to reflect the current iteration, and note the data elements of the previous iteration as required or considered important.

## Exercise A. Change in title properResource as it appears when you view it on May 4, 2001: 

## Exercise A. Change in title properExisting record has: 

**245 00 EDGAR database of corporate information **$h [electronic resource].
**500    Title from title screen (viewed Nov. 13, 2000).**

## Exercise A. Change in title properRecord updated for title change: 

- 245 00 **EDGAR database** $h [electronic resource].
- 246 1_ **$i Title on home page:** $a Company info on EDGAR
**247 10 EDGAR database of corporate information $f <Nov. 13, 2000>**
- 500    Title from **HTML header** (**viewed on May 4, 2001**).

- 245 00 **Company info on EDGAR** $h [electronic resource].
- 246 1_ **$i Title in HTML header:** $a EDGAR database
**247 10 EDGAR database of corporate information $f <Nov. 13, 2000>**
- 500    Title from **home page** (**viewed on May 4, 2001**).

**or:**

**Notes:**
When the title proper has changed, the cataloger may also re-assess the source of title proper.

The two possibilities on this slide reflect the two possible choices.

In either case, however, the former title proper is what had been selected by the previous cataloger on Nov. 13, 2000 and had appeared in the 245 $a of the existing record.

## Exercise B. Second change in title properResource as it appears when you view it on January 24, 2002: 

## Exercise B. Second change in title properExisting record has:

- Exercise B. Second change in title proper**Existing record has:**

- 245 00 **EDGAR database** $h [electronic resource].
- 246 1_ **$i Title on home page:** $a Company info on EDGAR
**247 10 EDGAR database of corporate information $f <Nov. 13, 2000>**
- 500    Title from HTML header (**viewed on May 4, 2001**).

- 245 00 **Company info on EDGAR** $h [electronic resource].
- 246 1_ **$i Title in HTML header:** $a EDGAR database
**247 10 EDGAR database of corporate information $f <Nov. 13, 2000>**
- 500    Title from home page (**viewed on May 4, 2001**).

**or:**

**Notes:**
These, again, are the two possibilities for title proper that could have been selected in Exercise A.  Either could be the new existing record.

## Exercise B. Second change in title properRecord updated for second title change:

- 245 00 **SEC filings & forms (EDGAR)** $h [electronic resource].
- 246 3_ SEC filings and forms
- 246 3_ Securities and Exchange Commission filings and forms
**246 1_ $i Former title on home page: $a Company info on EDGAR ****       $f <May 4, 2001>**
**247 10 EDGAR database of corporate information $f <Nov. 13, 2000>**
**247 10 EDGAR database $f <May 4, 2001>**
- 500    Title from home page (**viewed on Dec. 2, 2002**).

**246 1_ $i Former title in HTML header: $a EDGAR database $f <May 4, 2001>**
**247 10 Company info on EDGAR $f <May 4, 2001>**

**or:**

**Notes:**
There are now two 247 fields in the updated record: one for each former title proper.

The second option shows the alternative forms of 246 and 247 if the existing record were the second of the two possibilities shown on the previous screen.

This exercise demonstrates not only how to do two updates for title proper for the same Web site, but also the variations that can occur because different catalogers could quite legitimately make different decisions about title proper vs. variant form of title.  

It may also show that there is some artificiality between 246s and 247s for former title for Web sites when there are two or more equally valid possibilities for former and/or current title proper for the site.

But in the end it doesn’t really matter much as long as all the significant variants by which catalog users might search are included in one indexed field or another.

## Exercise C. Change in statement of responsibility and main and added entriesResource as it appears when you view it on December 15, 2002: 

## Exercise C. Change in statement of responsibility and main and added entriesExisting record has: 

**100 1_ Morton, Susan E., $d 1955-**
- 245 10 Publishers of non-fiction articles $h [electronic resource] : $b a database for writers / **$c by Susan E. Morton and Joseph P. Stein.**
- 500    Title from home page (viewed on Jan. 22, 2001).
**700 1_ Stein, Joseph P., $d 1953-**

## Exercise C. Change in statement of responsibility and main and added entriesRecord updated: 

**100 1_ Stein, Joseph P., $d 1953-**
- 245 10 Publishers of non-fiction articles $h [electronic resource] : $b a database for writers /** $c by Joseph P. Stein and Julia Garcia.**

**700 1_ Morton, Susan E., $d 1955-**

**Notes:**
The changes:
 Different statement of responsibility.
 Entails different main entry because new name is given first in the resource.  Former added entry moved to main entry.
 Note on previous co-author, if considered important for description/identification.
 Former main entry moved to added entry if considered important for continued access.
