We will explore the following concepts:Organization of data
Introduction to the Voyager (GIL) record structure
Introduction to MARC
MARC record samples from GIL, the UC, and WorldCat
MARC overview quicklist
UNIT 3: Data organization & MARC
In this unit, we will explore data organization and MARC.
Let’s get started with the overview of data organization. Click next to start this unit.

Data about materials in libraries can be formatted in many different ways. Many libraries use electronic records to organize data. Some libraries use multiple hierarchical records to represent items in their libraries; others use a single approach. UGA uses the hierarchical approach to describe information about library materials.
a bibliographical record (BIB record) to describe the item.
a holdings record (MFHD) to describe the call number, location info, volumes owned, etc. In other words information needed to locate a volume in a library.
an item record (sometimes referred to as a piece or barcode record) to represent each individual item associated with a title. Item records/barcodes are used to charge out (check out) materials.
University of Georgia Libraries / Cataloging 2007 http://www.libs.uga.edu/catalog/tutorial design robin fay
This is from the Holdings (MFHD) record. The call number, location, as well as other information (volumes, Folio, special notes, etc.) also display from the Holdings record.
This is from the Item record.

Let’s start with the Bib record. Bib record is shorthand for bibliographic record. The Bib record is the descriptive part of the record and is coded in MARC.
} This is from the BIB record
Unit3: Data organization & MARC: the GIL Structure
University of Georgia Libraries / Cataloging 2007 http://www.libs.uga.edu/catalog/tutorial design robin fay
So what is that movie about?
Information in libraries can be stored in a variety of formats. MARC was an attempt to take the information from the card and put it into a machine readable formatMARC drives various databases and displays the information to us in a way that makes sense (hopefully!)We viewed the same record in the GIL technical module, Google Book Search, the UC, the OPAC, and worldcat.org
University of Georgia Libraries / Cataloging 2007 http://www.libs.uga.edu/catalog/tutorial design robin fay
GIL OPAC the technical view
By clicking on Technical view button in the OPAC, we see the full MARC record, including indicators and delimiters.
MARC TAG (also the MARC field number) is the first 3 digits, e.g., 100
Indicators are the two following characters which affect indexing and filing by the computer. In this case the 245 14, tells the computer: The title is The broker, but begin index/filing at B for broker. In other words, skip 3 characters + 1(for the blank space) to find the first ‘real’ word.
| is a delimiter which is a designator for the beginning of the field and is subcoded with a specific alpha character |c indicates statement of responsibility
Next, the same record in the Cataloging (Technical) module.

Note: This view is very similar to the OPAC technical view except that we see the fixed field displayed differently, as well as toolbars and menus to make changes to the records.
Note the Hierarchy button on the top menu. This button shows the holdings and item records associated with this bibliographic record. We will look at the Hierarchy in the next slide.
This is where the fixed field info resides and it is input via drop down menus
UNIT 3: Data organization & MARC: ExamplesCataloging/ Technical Module (GIL/Voyager)
Remember a bib record is just one part of the puzzle. The other two pieces are the holdings and item records. We’ll explore those in a minute. Let’s take a look at a serials record.

In the UC (Universal Catalog) to which UGA Libraries contributes, we see the MARC record but there are no field values. Instead descriptive words are used to assist the user.
Display of institutions is ranked in the UC. UGA is not first for books(hence, our name may not display first under institution). Institution Name, location, call number, comes from the Holdings record (MFHD).
USG’s Universal Catalog Record
Bib record
MFHD
Now, let’s look at the MARC record in the public version of the UC.

Here is the same record as it appears in the public version of WorldCat. Notice, we are pulling images and summary info from Baker & Taylor, a commercial vendor. Also, the formatting is just a little different.

OCLC WorldCat (Tech mode)
Here is the same record as it appears in the technical version of WorldCat in the Cataloging Client. Notice, it appears very similar to the technical view in GIL.

UNIT 3 Review: Data organization & MARCWe have learned a little about GIL (the Libraries’ catalog) both the OPAC (public view) and the Cataloging module.
We have learned a little bit about the UC (Universal Catalog) which displays holdings from all USG (University System of Georgia) Libraries including UGA.
We have learned a little bit about WorldCat (OCLC).
We have learned a little bit about the Voyager (GIL) database structure.
Remember you can review at anytime by clicking the MENU button. The next review screen has links to the tutorials and major concepts.Unit 4 covers the basics of searching in GIL.

UNIT 3 Review: Your turn
Review any of the tutorials or key points listed above. You can also return to the main menu to choose additional topics.
In Unit 4, we will focus on searching in GIL. We we will see how the MARC formatted records fit into the Libraries catalog through searching the OPAC and the cataloging module. Use the next button to continue to Unit 4 or choose the Menu button for additional options.
