10:15:47 From Louise Jolliffe : https://www.maineinfonet.org/minerva/support/cataloging-serials/minerva-cataloging-mentor-program/

10:20:04 From Carin Dunay : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FfffJujKcOXtJlEHG5vsSRO_VnkerQ1F8uav2Q4XgqQ/edit?usp=sharing

10:22:00 From Sadie Cooley Friend ML : Does anyone have recommendations for cataloging courses?

10:22:10 From Director : Will there be a cataloging training course offered in the future?

10:22:23 From Lynn Uhlman (she/her) Maine InfoNet : Highly recommend this cataloging course: https://www.ala.org/core/fundamentals-cataloging

10:29:03 From Mary : which is the preferred one? or it sounds like it doesn’t matter which one I use?

10:31:40 From Ann (she\her) at NMCC : If you search keyword “captioning” you will find it from either field, so it does not matter from a patron perspective

10:37:39 From Joanna’s iPhone 👀 : Yes please!

10:37:43 From Mary : that would be great- the cheat sheet

10:37:44 From Joanna’s iPhone 👀 : To cheat sheet :)

10:38:38 From Karen : What is used for the initial ISSN?

10:40:11 From Simone Roy-Rice Public Library : The volume field is vital, that is what is not put in alot.

10:58:04 From Karen : This was very helpful. Thank you.

10:58:32 From Lynn Uhlman (she/her) Maine InfoNet : more help on record templates: https://maineinfonet.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/1000231516-sierra-record-templates

10:58:41 From William Cook : That was very helpful,  agree!

10:58:48 From Simone Roy-Rice Public Library : If you have your own log in it shouldn’t change the other users templates.

11:00:36 From Karen : I have my own login, but changes I make to templates appear to affect everyone.

11:01:24 From Simone Roy-Rice Public Library : Greta and I have separate logins and that doesn’t happen.

11:02:17 From Janet Clifford, SWHPL & JML : Every cataloger needs their own login – this is something the Committee has requested/required.

11:03:29 From Karen : Interesting, Simone. I’ll look into how things work at my library later and find out if I’m misunderstanding what’s happening. Thank you.

11:14:56 From Karen : Based on the description of the 049, it didn’t sound like a field that is necessary for us. Does it serve a purpose or can it be deleted? I had also thought 037 wasn’t useful, but it turns out it is, so I’m wondering if the same is true of the 049.

11:15:32 From Simone Roy-Rice Public Library : Does it serve a purpose? I don’t think its important

11:16:36 From Simone Roy-Rice Public Library : I think we all need to agree if we take it out or not. I have been, its in red. I’ve always been taught if its in red it isn’t valid.

11:17:49 From Karen : Lynn had said in another meeting the 037 was necessary for large print items.

11:18:48 From Lynn Uhlman (she/her) Maine InfoNet : No, the 037 is not needed for large print records.

11:19:56 From Karen : I’m all for removing anything that isn’t necessary

11:20:05 From Stefanie Claydon – SMCC : If you are tagging holdings in OCLC does taking the 049 field out impact that?

11:20:06 From Kate- KFL : Agree with Simone, I try and take the 049 out

11:20:25 From Lynn Uhlman (she/her) Maine InfoNet : 006, 007, 008 and the Marc Leader are the control fields needed for Large Print.

11:21:00 From CPerkins/WtvlPL : I agree – let’s eliminate the 049 field.

11:26:10 From Alana DePerte : How do you know it’s a bad ISBN?

11:33:27 From Karen : One of my resources is Library Thing MSD in lieu of Web Dewey. I use it in conjunction with print version DDC https://www.librarything.com/mds

11:36:17 From CPerkins/WtvlPL : Love WorldCat – use it for the exact same things as Jessie is mentioning.

11:36:52 From Kate- KFL : I also use WorldCat to find subject headings on records that don’t have any or too few on import

11:37:19 From CPerkins/WtvlPL : Reacted to “I also use WorldCat …” with 👍

11:38:35 From Karen : I’ve added SO MANY OCLC numbers. I’m also an avid WorldCat user and using it in so many ways.

11:40:07 From Brooke – McArthur Library : https://authorities.loc.gov/ I use this a ton for trying to find series authorities.

11:40:12 From Stefanie Claydon – SMCC : Since I am new to cataloging and specifically cataloging in LC when I’m so used to DD, I use Northwestern’s page for LC call numbers and cutters https://www.library.northwestern.edu/find-borrow-request/catalogs-search-tools/understanding-call-numbers/loc.html

11:40:16 From Jennifer Lewis–Augusta Schools : MarcEdit app that makes sense of MARC records from vendors that can’t be uploaded.  Then I can copy and paste from there.

11:40:22 From Korina Lee : WorldCat-use it for the OCOLC numbers!

11:40:26 From Kate- KFL : https://id.loc.gov/ gor LC subject headings/genres

11:40:39 From Sadie Cooley Friend ML : https://www.maineinfonet.org/minerva/support/cataloging-serials/cataloging-rules-and-instruction/ Thank you for all the wonderful resources compiled here, I use them all the time!

11:40:40 From Allison Neales (SJC) : I use the LOC catalog to make sure I have correct call numbers!

11:41:12 From Alana DePerte : My mentor, Kate Jacobs, has been a wonderful resource. She has helped me with audiobook record templates and other odd cataloging questions I have had. She’s always so quick and helpful with her responses. Thanks for all the wonderful other resources listed today that I will consult beforehand.

11:41:40 From Kate- KFL : Thanks, Alana. You’re great, too!

11:41:55 From Alana DePerte : Thank you, Kate!

11:41:56 From libuser : https://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeLCGFT/GENRE.pdf and https://librarylearning.org/system/files/2021-04/OLAC%20Video%20Games%20Genre%20Terms.pdf for video games

11:41:59 From Kate, Northeast Harbor Library (she/they) : 2nd’ing Karen with the MDS tool for narrowing down a DDC # (esp. great for visual learners!) https://www.librarything.com/mds/

11:42:08 From Lynn Uhlman (she/her) Maine InfoNet : Authorities – https://authorities.loc.gov/

11:42:09 From CPerkins/WtvlPL : WorldCat is my first go to.

11:42:16 From Kate, Northeast Harbor Library (she/they) : Thank you all!

11:42:27 From Mary : thank you!

11:42:33 From CPerkins/WtvlPL : Good meeting. Thanks.
