The Standing Subcommittee briefly discussed holdings records for scattered copies of serials and reaffirmed that for serials a separate holdings record should be made for each copy.
The draft of the revised document on Cataloging Electronic Networked Resources at Harvard will be brought to the next meeting.
The CAT Team has updated several documents in the Cataloging/Holdings/Authorities section of the Aleph documentation site; among others, documents updated include Series Authority Data in Aleph and Getting Started in Aleph.
The need to update the document Holdings Records: Incorporating MARC 21 in Aleph was discussed and a working group comprised of Elizabeth Eggleston, Steven Riel and Janet Rutan was appointed to revise the document. The revised document will be used in conjunction with Holdings Records in the HOLLIS Catalog: Standards and Guidelines.
Bruce Trumble presented a revision of the Standing Subcommittee’s document on authority records. The document has been rewritten to apply only to authority work for personal names, corporate names, conference names, uniform titles and series authorities. Subject authorities are to be dealt with separately.
The Standing Subcommittee discussed the revised document and made several suggestions for changes. A draft incorporating further revisions will be discussed at the next meeting.
Helen Schmierer presented a new draft of the Standing Subcommittee’s instruction on entering copy numbers in holdings records in Aleph.
The next meeting will be held January 5, 2004, from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon.
