More metadata mapping
Spent some time today cleaning off the desk in "the dungeon" (as Emily so fondly calls it). Found that the computer had restarted again and everything I had fixed (twice now) was gone! Connexion authos, bookmarks, etc. At least documents seem to be staying put, but I'm backing them up on my flash drive just in case.
I spent several hours today adding MARC tags to my MARC/BibClass/DC table. I should probably transfer it to a spreadsheet at some point. Some tricky things I'm coming across and I'm not quite sure what to do with, or how to get there...
dc:source - call #, where the physical item resides. These don't have call numbers per se, but do have location code gzshb which translates to 'Sheet Mus StL Publ File' in the public view. Some indication of 'Balmer & Weber' needs to be given, since that's what the boxes are actually labeled. The example Lois Schultz gives is 'UCLA. Music Library. Archive of Popular American Music. SY118524 [call number].' So, I guess ours could be something like 'Washington University in St. Louis. Gaylord Music Library. St. Louis Publishers Sheet Music. Balmer & Weber'?
Local notes - should these be included? Things like the Keck number? Important descriptive things should be included, I would think, like if pages are missing from our copy, or if there is a signature or annotation. Also local added entries for people like donors...
dc:format is very strange - I can't tell if it's referring to the physical or the digital manifestation. Schultze gives 300 as one of the related MARC fields, so I guess the physical? This is the only place where the extent (number of pages, size, etc.) could be given. Other examples she gives are 'image/tiff' and 'image/jpeg' so I don't know if something like 'image/pdf' would also be appropriate for the digital manifestation?
dc:rights - not sure about the rights information. Indiana has a link to information about their sheet music collection, but there's nothing specific about rights. I'll try to look into this more. I'm pretty sure that all of what's been digitized thus far is in the public domain. Example Schultz gives is just a statement: 'University of California, Los Angeles, Music Library. c2002 The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.' Obviously this is if the institutions holds the copyright.
dc:date - strange that Schultz gives the recommendation to use YYYY-MM-DD ("date will be associated with the creation or availability of the resource") - she gives the 260 field as a related MARC field, but the date there is usually just a year, estimated year, or range of years.
Hours today: 3 (4:00-7:00pm)
