Library of Things

Library of Things refers to useful, but non-traditional, objects that libraries have recently begun to add to their circulating collections, including telescopes, mobile hotspots, guitars, and more. For any questions on how to catalog these items, refer to OLAC’s Best Practices for Cataloging Objects in RDA and Marc 21.

When possible, libraries should use an OCLC record. If there is no OCLC record available, libraries should follow rules for cataloging unique local materials. If the records should not be added to Worldcat, 945 ‡b should include OCLC DO NOT SET. Libraries may attach their item records to an existing bibliographic record with items owned by other CCS libraries, provided there is nothing in the existing bibliographic record that is specific to a single library. Item holdable and circulation settings will determine whether that item can be checked out locally by patrons or sent in-transit to fill holds for patrons of other libraries. Libraries may also create a local record for their items only by identifying their library as part of the title. This makes it possible for staff to find a library’s local records in the hit list. Brackets are not required for supplied titles of objects.

Example:

245 00 ‡aLake Villa District Library Mobile HotSpot.

Fixed Field

Fixed-Length Data Elements (008)

Type: Choose the most appropriate type code for the item(s).

p — mixed materials

k — two-dimensional non-projected image

o — kit

r — three-dimensional artifact or naturally occurring object

Type of Material (TMat): Choose the most appropriate type of material code for the item(s).

Examples:

g — game

r — realia

w — toy

b — kit


Audience: choose the most appropriate audience code.

Variable Fields

Identifiers for the Manifestation (020/022/024/028)

Use the most appropriate MARC fields that correspond to the standard identifiers of the item.

Author and Added Entries - Personal/Corporate Name (1XX/7XX)

Add authorized headings for corporations or people responsible for the creation of the item.

Examples:

710 _2 ‡aParker Brothers, Inc.
710 _2 ‡aHasbro, Inc.
710 _2 ‡aNetgear (Firm)
710 _2 ‡aSprint Corporation.
710 _2 ‡aSprint Nextel.
710 _2 ‡aOrion Telescopes & Binoculars.


Title and Statement of Responsibility (245)

Titles can come from the item, the manufacturer’s or distributor’s website, or be devised by the cataloger. Devised titles do not need to be in brackets. OLAC recommends that a note on the origin of the description should be added to the 588 field for objects, and not just for serials. However, using a 500 field is still acceptable. Use cataloger’s judgement to determine if a statement of responsibility should be included in ‡c.

Examples:

245 00 ‡aNiles mobile hotspot.
588 0_ ‡aTitle devised by cataloger.

245 00 ‡aMonopoly :‡bfast-dealing property trading game.
588 0_ ‡aTitle from box.


Edition statement (250)

Record an edition statement if present on the item.

Example:

250 __ ‡aFamily edition.

Production, Publication, Distribution, Manufacture, and Copyright Notice (264)

Objects frequently have production, distribution, manufacturer, or copyright statements instead of traditional publication statements and frequently lack anything resembling these statements. Use cataloger’s judgement in choosing the most appropriate indicator for this information. The production information (second indicator of 0) should be used for unpublished works. Use brackets for supplied statements. If no date is present on the item or producer’s description, record an approximate date in brackets if one can be ascertained. 588 fields can be added to describe the source of information.

Examples:

264 _1 ‡aPawtucket, RI :‡bHasbro Gaming, ‡c[2017]
264 _4 ‡c©2017
 
264 _0 ‡a[Watsonville, California] :‡b[Orion Telescopes & Binoculars],‡c[2014]
264 _3 ‡aChina :‡b[Name of manufacturer not identified],‡c[2014?]
