Women\u27s and Gender Studies Collection Development Policy

The Women\u27s and Gender Studies collection supports the teaching, research and service activities of the entire university community and beyond. Its primary audience is the faculty, staff, and students of the Women\u27s and Gender Studies Program primarily in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as in the colleges of: Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Architecture, Business Administration, Education and Human Sciences, Engineering, Fine and Performing Arts, Journalism and Mass Communications and Law. Its primary focus is support for the undergraduate and graduate curricula and research in Women\u27s and Gender Studies. Specific and transient research needs of Women’s and Gender Studies faculty and graduate students should be supplemented through the campus resource collections in Women’s and Gender Studies Program, Women’s Center, LGBTQ Resource Center, and through the Interlibrary Loan. Materials are not purchased for the general public, though they may benefit from the collection. While the collection focuses on works classified in the LC Classification HQ - Social Sciences - Women, the interdisciplinary nature of the program means that the collection covers works related to women and gender issues in the entire LC classification range and may overlap with those in Art, Ethnic Studies, English, History, Law, Psychology, Political Science, Sociology, to name a few, for works about/by women and LGBT authors and communities in those subject areas

Best Practices for Cataloging DVD-Video and Blu-ray Discs Using RDA and MARC21

Best Practices for Cataloging DVD-video and Blu-ray Discs Using RDA and MARC21 builds upon the work of the 2008 Guide to Cataloging DVD and Blu-ray Discs Using AACR2r and MARC21, which in turn updated the 2002 Guide to Cataloging DVDs Using AACR2r Chapters 7 and 9 created by the DVD Cataloging Task Force of OLAC. The focus of this new document is to provide a set of “best practice” recommendations rather than a step-by-step instruction manual for cataloging DVD-video and Blu-ray Discs. One reason for this shift is that RDA cataloging practice is far from settled, particularly in regard to special format materials. Best practice recommendations will likely be easier to manage as RDA instructions evolve. This document is intended for use with Resource Description and Access (RDA) and the MARC21 Format for Bibliographic Data. It should not be considered a substitute for the RDA Toolkit. The best practice recommendations and cataloging examples presented in the document are intended only to clarify RDA principles and instructions used in cataloging DVD-video and Blu- ray Disc formats

Best Practices for Cataloging DVD-Video and Blu-ray Discs Using RDA and MARC21 Version 1.1

Purpose Best Practices for Cataloging DVD-video and Blu-ray Discs Using RDA and MARC21 builds upon the work of the 2008 Guide to Cataloging DVD and Blu-ray Discs Using AACR2r and MARC21, which in turn updated the 2002 Guide to Cataloging DVDs Using AACR2r Chapters 7 and 9 created by the DVD Cataloging Task Force of OLAC.

This document is intended for use with Resource Description and Access (RDA) and the MARC21 Format for Bibliographic Data. It should not be considered a substitute for the RDA Toolkit. The best practice recommendations and cataloging examples presented in the document are intended only to clarify RDA principles and instructions used in cataloging DVD-video and Blu- ray Disc formats. The opening section provides a general overview of DVD and Blu-ray technology, disc characteristics, plus a comparison with compact disc (CD) technology. A brief introduction to RDA follows, to provide a basic frame of reference for the document. Since most libraries are still encoding data in MARC21, the main part of the document is generally arranged by RDA element in the order they are encountered in a MARC21 record. Each section includes examples that reflect the principles outlined in the document. Examples use ISBD as the presentation format. A table outlining recommended description and encoding of DVD-Video and Blu-ray Disc attributes is given in the appendix. A list of resources and a selection of full MARC21 record examples illustrating common situations encountered in DVD-Video and Blu-ray Disc cataloging completes the document
