Cataloging Graphic Novels

• Husson College, Bangor, 5/16/08
  
• My Google Notebook for this is here.
  
• monographs "never end" as distinct from serials
• Graphic novels are a format.
• There is a graphic novel material type.
• Searching
• Don't search by ISBN - you'll miss it hasn't been assigned
• Rather, search by title
• Overlay - wipes out the destination record - that's OK if there are only 3 lines.
• Copying is a less drastic alternative to overlay.
• If you've got a bad record, don't create a new record. Fix it.
• "You're in a fix mode when you're doing these graphic novels"
• Don't put prices on the 020. You can remove it if it's there.
• If the paperback is basically the same as the hardback (it can be a cm or 2 off and a few pages off) it should be on the same record.
• An adapted work is entered under the adaptor. You still give credit to the original author (245 |c & 700)
• If it's not on the title page don't put it in.
• 100 is main entry
• 245 is title and statement of responsibility.
• 245
• |n numbered part
• |p part name
• 245 is the hardest part.
