> > > > **NOTE the internal punctuation for this field: space hyphen hyphen space** between each entry in the 505 $a, e.g. >>>
 * **020 $c Publishers Recommended Price -** most of the material I will be giving you will not have a price because the material is old. If there is a price of the item then enter it into this field. The advantage of putting the price is that students understand how expensive an item is they are checking out. A disadvantage is that if you charge more than the original cost, the student may take issue with the extra charge. Not all catalogs show this field.
 * ****500 - General Note** **(You can dump almost anything in this field. It is a catch-all for the information you want to impart to your patrons that doesn't go someplace else.)
 * **505 - Formatted Contents Note** (A very important note that specifically lists the contents of an item -- poem titles in a book; biographies in a collected biography; individual play titles in a volume; short stories in a book of collected stories.
 * ===Example 1: all contents are by the **same author**===
 * 245 $a Collected plays of Edward Albee
 * **505 $a The zoo story -- The sand box -- Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? etc.**
 * ===Example 2: all contents are by the **same author**===
 * 245 $a The collected poetry of Nikki Giovanni, 1968-1998
 * 505 $a **Black feeling Black talk -- Black judgment -- My house -- The women and the men -- Cotton candy on a rainy day**, etc.


 * **Below are examples of how to formulate the contents note when the elements are by different authors which mimics the title/author of the 245 $a $b/$c field:**

Title space slash space author space hyphen hyphen space
 * ===Example 1: contents are by **different authors**===
 * 245 $a Let your motto be resistance
 * 505 $a **A collaboration / Lonnie G. Bunch III -- The photographic portrait: constructing an ideal / Deborah Willis -- American idols / Sarah Elizabeth Lewis**, etc.

>>>
 * ===Example 2: contents are by **different authors**===
 * 245 $a Once upon a time $b a treasury of modern fairy tales
 * 505 $a **Prince Delightful and the flameless dragon / Isaac Asimov -- Imaginary friends / Terry Brooks -- Gwydion and the dragon / C. J. Cherryh -- The fairy godmother / Lester del Rey**, etc.
 * **Trace the authors in the 505 in the 700 $a** field for those items that have multiple authors. If the note in the 505 is for an item where all of the contents is by the same author then there will be no reason to do that because the author information will be in the 100 $a and 245 $c.


 * **520 - Summary Note** (It is imperative that students know what the item is about when they see a record in the catalog. Records that don't give a summary of the item's content are almost always ignored. That is why this field will be required for every record from now on. For my class, every item you catalog MUST include a 520 $a (summary) field. The other fields will be determined by the information that is available. In order to get a summary, it may mean you have to scan the book, read the introduction or the covers, etc. to know what the book is about. In your real library life, you would get a summary easily from the book flap. In my class, every item cataloged ** MUST HAVE A SUMMARY ** . Keep in mind why you are cataloging this item in the first place – so students can find material relevant to their needs. What student is going to pick up something to read from a catalog record that doesn’t tell the student what the item is about. This is particularly true in fiction but also holds true for nonfiction. Summaries do not have to be lengthy but should tell the student what the main thrust of the item is about.
 * **Summary notes are:**
 * Objective (They don't tell how good something is) but tell us about the contents
 * Reasonably brief -- written in a full sentence ending with a period.
 * If they are a quotation from a source (review, flap jacket, etc.) put the information in quotation marks and conclude with double hyphen and the name of the source in parenthesis, e.g. (--School Library Journal)

In summary, you will be responsible for any information that would fall into these fields:
 * **020 $a** ISBN number
 * ** 020 $c Price **
 * **100 $a** Personal name preferred access point
 * **100 $d** Personal name dates
 * **100 $e** Relator term
 * **100 $q** Fuller form of the name (especially when first or first and middle name of the author is/are initials.)
 * **110** $a Corporate name preferred access point
 * **111** $a Meeting name preferred access point
 * **245 $a** Title
 * **245 $b** Remainder of title
 * **245 $c** Statement of responsibility
 * **246 $a** Varying form of the title
 * **250 $a** Edition statement
 * **264 $a** Publisher place
 * **264 $b** Publisher name

=** ASSIGNMENT - CATALOG THESE FIVE BOOKS **= = You are going to **pretend** that **these are hard-bound books that you have in your hand rather than digital copies of the books**. Not all of the "books" have their dimensions available -- again not all of the information for the fields listed above will be available. If I have not included some information about the book (e.g. ISBN) you do not need to search for it. Use the information you have. In all instances look at the copy of the book. Depending on the holder of the information you may have to click on the **** to see a representation of the book itself that will give you complete information about the book. **(50 points)** =

500 will not be necessarily used.

RULES FOR ASSIGNMENTS IN THIS CLASS

 * === FIRST RULE FOR CATALOGING IN THIS CLASS: See if you can find a record already created by someone else and don't reinvent the wheel unless you have to. ===
 * === SECOND RULE FOR CATALOGING IN THIS CLASS: Pay particular attention to the 264 and 300 fields when you are trying to match what you have been given to catalog to the record you have found. ===
 * === THIRD RULE FOR CATALOGING IN THIS CLASS: An "A" grade is nice, but seek to understand the theory behind what we are doing rather than seeking a particular grade. You will be less stressed. ===
