5. » A. Comic Book (“floppy”, monthly, serial)
» B. Graphic novel (“done in one”, monograph)
» C. Trade collection (reprint volume, serial
monograph)
6. » new format reprint of a collection of formerly
independent(-ish) items that are tied into a long
run of an ongoing publication.
» Serials, midway between the floppy monthly
comic book and the monographic series.
» Similar to a microfilmed or digitized
reformatting of a journal.
» One has to catalog the “thing in hand” while
also being sure to tie out to the larger
bibliographic web of connections and the serial
nature of the original.
7. Must use Should use If time allows Research level
Analytic cataloging 787 for serial record 700s for other roles 776 or 730 link to
& 490/830 pair for such as inker, original version
analytic colorist, series

Serial level 505 for individual 505 $r for individual 505 $g original
classification story titles responsibility for publication

8. »You can do anything
you want in your own
catalog, for the good
of the patron.
9. One Record to rule them all
One Record to bind them
One Record to bring them all
and in the OPAC bind them
- With my apologies to J. R. R. Tolkien
10. 1. Collocates series
2. Keeps items in the proper order
3. Gives a place to display full holdings on the title,
as well as more information on the individual
volume
4. Probably already exists on OCLC
5. Classified on the serial level
6. Proper order of volumes easily found
1. Indicia (originally published as …)
2. Cover gallery (back of volume)
3. Amazon
4. Wikipedia (See Justice League of America)
11. » $c in 245
˃ Justifies 700
˃ Expanded role in RDA (Rule of Three is dead, long live the Rule of Three)
˃ Et al. can still be used on local level
˃ If 700 is not justified here, justify in 505 or 700 $g
˃ Can be quite large
˃ 3 people make up the “author” of a comic book
+ Writer
+ Artist (penciler)
+ Cover artist
+ Book doesn’t exist without all 3
Example:
245 1 0 $a Absolute justice / $c Jim Kreuger, writer ; Doug Braithwaite, artist ; Alex
Ross, cover artist.
700 1 $a Kreuger, Jim, $e author.
700 1 $a Braithwaite, Doug, $e penciler.
700 1 $a Ross, Alex, $e cover artist, $e colorist.
If artist or writer is someone of note, can be 100 (e.g. Stan Lee)
12. » Must use
˃ 100/700 pairs for writer, artist and cover artist
˃ These are the three without whom the book would not exist
˃ Must use relator codes or terms (MARC list preferably, with additions)
˃ Usually the writer gets the 100 due to tradition. Local need or
predominant role may change that.
» If time allows
˃ 700s for other roles such as inkers, colorists, editors, etc.
» Research level
˃ 700 $t, $g for story title
˃ Can be used in addition to or instead of responsibility in 505
˃ $t is not repeatable, $g is- use for multiple story titles
13. » VERY, VERY IMPORTANT
» USE THE 521 (Audience)
» Allows one to mark an item as All ages, Teen+, Mature,
etc.
» Can be checked by staff prior to circulation so that, for
example, Johnny 10-year-old doesn’t get Zenoscope’s
Grimm fairy tales
» Would be nice if there was a pop up of the type when
one buys cigarettes or R-rated movies- alas this is
currently impossible with current generations ILS’s.
» Helps to prevent challenges by funneling appropriate
materials to appropriate ages
» By its very presence shows the library cares
14. » Must use
˃ Name of team or main characters
˃ E.g., Avengers (Fictitious characters)
» If time allows
˃ Name of other major characters
˃ E.g., Wolverine (Fictitious character) in a crossover with Spider-man,
or Joker (Fictitious character) in a Batman volume
» Research level
˃ Other characters who are important (e.g., a locally popular villain)
˃ Any character with more than two pages (especially if creating
authorities)
15. » In AACR2, a character was a person if “capable
of authorship”
» In RDA, a person is a person, whether fictitious
or not
» Now a 600, not a 650
» Simplifies cataloging and searches
» Gives more structure to name
» May mean that NACO participants can now
create character subject authorities, speeding
adoption. Still being debated by PCC.
16. » Use 490/830 pair to link analyzed item to serial
record.

43. “The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way and then dipped
suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about
stopping herself before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a
very deep well.”
--Lewis Carroll. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1916), p. 1.

We use mature rather than adult because of the association with “adult literature”
