11.14+Project+Digital+Media+and+Enhanced+MARC


 * PROJECT -- PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER (90 points) 4 November 2015 Each record is worth 15 points. **




 * THIS PROJECT IS NOMINALLY DUE NOVEMBER 16. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THIS THE LAST BIG PROJECT -- THE BIG KAHUNA -- YOU CAN HAVE UNTIL NOVEMBER 30TH (over Thanksgiving break) TO TURN IT IN WITH NO POINTS LOST. If you turn in your project by the 30th, this will give you in effect to weeks to do the assignment instead of the standard one week. The 30th is when we will have our last Skype session where I will talk about RDA -- the successor to AACR2.**

We didn't spend much time with CDs and DVDs because they seem to be forms of media that are dying out. As a result, the last project will deal with adding digital media to your online catalog. Are you adding Project Gutenberg titles to the catalog in order for students to have at hand that copy of //Macbeth// they forgot to bring for fifth hour English II class? What about YouTube or Teachertube or even better, Khan Academy videos that link to specific units in a class? Podcasts that students can easily access that are part of an assignment they are doing in world history? All of these can be organized on a Web page or using a favorite curation tool. The advantage, however of putting them in the catalog is that students will come across the information at the same time they are using the catalog for print and other material that you have cataloged. Because this type of information is different from what we have cataloged in the past, naturally there are some new fields to learn and also different information that needs to go into fields we have already worked with.


 * Highlighting old fields with new information for this assignment**
 * ~ Tag Subfield ||~ Description ||
 * = **245 $h** || General Materials Designation -- for these items you will be using **[electronic resource]** for each one ||
 * = **300 $a** || Physical Description: Extent -- for e-books you will still indicate pages but for streaming information you the length of time ||
 * = **300 $b** || Physical Description: Physical Characteristics - for digital information you will indicate the kind of file ||
 * = **500 $a** || General Note -- for digital information you will indicate the source of the title ||

|| Genre Headings -- As an assist to your patron, you will enter the genre for **streaming** cataloging. The 655 field tells what the item IS -- not what it is about. For this class you will use the following as is appropriate: **Podcasts**; **Streaming video**; or **Streaming audio,** although as you can see from the link on the left, we could have been using the genre field for any fiction throughout the class -- there are lots of genres. ||
 * New fields introduced in this assignment**
 * ~ TagSubfield ||~ Description ||
 * = **538 $a** || System Details Note -- for digital media you will indicate what kind of equipment or software is needed to access this information. You will begin the information in this field with: **System requirements: xxxxxx** ||
 * = **538 $a** || System Details Note -- for digital media you will indicate that the information is obtained from the Web. You will use this statement: **Mode of access: World Wide Web** ||
 * **655 $a**
 * = **856 $z** || Public Note -- In order to make it clear to your students of how they can access the digital information you will add a note, this being the most obvious: **Connect to resource** ||
 * = **856 $u** || Electronic Location and Access -- This is where you will enter the URL to access the digital information, beginning the URL with **http://** ||
 * Things to keep in mind for this assignment**
 * 1) **Using the right template.** We haven't talked about leaders or fixed data elements in MARC records and very little about indicators (the two digits between the MARC tag (e.g. 100) and the subfield (e.g. $a). We're still not going to talk about that (probably should but we're not -- some things are just too exciting!) **but** most of that is taken care of automatically in your system **if** you use the right template. Be sure to **not use the print book** **template** for any of the records in this final assignment. I will tell you which template to use in order for the leader, fixed data elements, and indicators to be automatically taken care of.
 * 2) **Go ahead and assign a Dewey number.** You probably won't do this in your own library because these items are not physically located in your library. I see it as a value for purposes of reporting and collection analysis.
 * 3) **File type.** If you cannot figure out what file type your audio or video is, just skip it. Sometimes you are told up front and sometimes it isn't readily apparent. Sometimes, like with Project Gutenberg, there are many file types. Choose one for this assignment. For streaming video do not worry about the file type as the video should play if the browser can pull up the video. Here is an example for a streaming video: ** 300 $a 1 streaming video file (54 sec.) $b digital, sd, col. ** (10 Nov.)
 * 4) **Missouri Learning Standards.** Each of these items are recommended by the Missouri Learning Standards.

> > Streaming items **below** will not have a Lexile Level (521 8 $a) and we can omit the entire 526 as well (23 Nov) >
 * Material to be cataloged for this assignment**
 * 1) **E-book - Use template E-book Nonfiction.** Your language arts teacher wants students would like to have the contents of Thoreau's //Walden// from Project Gutenberg listed so that her students can easily find their section to discuss. @https://www.gutenberg.org/files/205/205-h/205-h.htm. Be sure to catalog this as a digital book - not a print book.
 * 2) **E-book - Use template E-book Fiction.** Students are always forgetting to bring their copy of //The Adventures of Tom Sawyer// to class. Cataloging this copy means a copy will always be available. @https://archive.org/details/advtomsawyer00twairich. Be sure to catalog this as a digital book - not a print book.
 * 3) **Streaming Audio - Use template Sound Recording Non-Musical Online.** The social studies department has decided that some students need assistance in reading this text and so would like to be able to listen as well as read //Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass//. @https://librivox.org/narrative-of-the-life-of-frederick-douglass-by-frederick-douglass/
 * 1) **Podcast - Use template Sound Recording Non-Musical Online.** The debate team will be using Lincoln's //Gettysburg Address// this season. They like this podcast featuring Colin Powell. @http://podbay.fm/show/204935202/e/1246586400?autostart=1
 * 2) **Streaming Video - Use template Video Recording Online.** The drama teacher would like to give students some ideas about how to dramatize some Edgar Allan Poe. He likes this version of The Raven. @https://vimeo.com/51935996
 * 3) **Streaming Video.** The language arts teacher wants examples of how poetry has relevance to current day life. Shelley's //Ozymandias// is over layed with images from Breaking Bad. @https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMySF1nkN8o
