Lexical and
Classification Resources
afionline
This links to a simple list of 28 journal articles and books regarding cataloging.
Unfortunately, it does not’t seem to be kept up; the latest piece is from 1993!
Brown
University
Brown provides a portal to Cataloging Tools for print and non-print items on
the Web. Contains a list of Brown University’s choices for authoritative links.
A few pertinent AV links, but not altogether as useful as most of these other
sites.
IFL
review of description
The International
Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) provides international
standard bibliographic description for electronic sources, using MARC format,
Multi-level Description
and Bi-directional
records. A collection of converted text articles or speeches given on various
AV topics can be found on the IFLA site. While not exactly useful in providing
tools for catalogers, the articles will be of theoretical interest.
Johns Hopkins University
A large composite site maintained by Johns Hopkins University. Graphically a
bit dull, this is nonetheless the best centralized resource for linking to other
cataloging sites.
Joint
Steering Committee for Revision of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2)
The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) cover the description of library
materials. A selected documents page is available for reference and rule discussion.
Handy site BUT you still need the print version.
Chester
Fritz Library, North Dakota University
Maintained at North Dakota University, this site lacks organization. Contains
some useful links to other sites, but finding them is a chore, especially on
Netscape, since the site’s window is larger than standard screen size.
Librarians
and Library Science
An excellent composite site; Cataloging Resources Standards, software and text
material on library cataloging. Contains links to 9 cataloging resources, as
well as many other sites germane to librarianship.
libraryspot
Library Spot is similar to About Librarians; it is a “meta-site” containing
links to pages that are composite lists of web sites. Not as enjoyably visual
as About Librarians, Lspot appears to contain more serious, but fewer links,
as About Librarians.
Southern Mississippi
University
A very good online source for catalogers created and maintained by Southern
Mississippi University. Contains several practical handbooks for cataloging
all kinds of materials as well as links to USM librarian-approved external resources.
Less stodgy than the JHU or Yale sites, but perhaps (?) also less authoritative.
100
Top Library Sites
Portal to library sites, including presidential libraries and library schools.
A good site to have on a library’s bookmark list; this is essentially a compilation
of 100 of the most used library sites. Weak in the way of graphics, annotation,
or topical relevance, but handy. UCLA GSE&IS ranked No. 24.
Visual Arts Data Service
Contains general guidelines to good practices for the management of digital
resources. Somewhat off-topic, the AHDS provides some interesting theoretical
reading.
ASIS
SIG/CR Classification Research Workshop
ASIS SIG/CR Classification Research Workshop papers examine the theory and function
of classification structures of visual representations. Schemes presented are:
more practical
sites are available.
The
Getty Center
Conducts preservation and conservation projects. It provides online access to
its vocabulary and other compiled resources. Getty
Vocabulary Program provides vocabulary tools (controlled vocabularies and
data standards) for the visual arts.
Kansas State Historical Society
An online handbook for cataloging stills created by Kansas State Historical
Society. Essentially a proposed controlled vocabulary list of subject headings,
can be quite useful, although the site is poorly organized.
Association
of Moving Images Archivists (AMIA)
AMIA recommends the creation of a single web site managed by this organization
that would serve as a gateway to a three-tiered structure designed to include
all levels of cataloging:
Compendium of Cataloging Practice features selections from the AMIA Compendium of Moving Image Cataloging Practice. This sampling is meant to give you a taste of the forthcoming print volume.
Library
of Congress
Archival Moving Image Materials (Library of Congress)
A Cataloging Manual, compiled by Wendy White-Hensen, Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division, Library of Congress.
State University of West
Georgia Music Library Technical Services Manual (University of Virginia Library)
Supplemental Web Resources for Music Cataloging, featuring The Cataloging Calculator by Kyle Banerjee, which can help you
University
of Wisconsin--Milwaukee
Music Cataloging Bibliography, featuring Relevant Music Cataloging Resources
and Standard Music Reference Sources.
Yale
University
Yale University’s composite site for all music and film links. A large list
of links to other pertinent audiovisual sites; this is a great resource for
anyone interested in information pertaining to music or film. See the JHU site
and compare! Note pedestrian graphics.
