Answers
» A. Comic Book (“floppy”, monthly, serial)
» B. Graphic novel (“done in one”, monograph)
» C. Trade collection (reprint volume, serial monograph)
Trade collection
» new format reprint of a collection of formerly independent(-ish) items that are tied into a long run of an ongoing publication.
» Serials, midway between the floppy monthly comic book and the monographic series.
» Similar to a microfilmed or digitized reformatting of a journal.
» One has to catalog the “thing in hand” while also being sure to tie out to the larger bibliographic web of connections and the serial nature of the original.
Levels of cataloging
Must use Should use If time allows Research level
Analytic cataloging 787 for serial record & 490/830 pair for analytic
700s for other roles such as inker, colorist, series editor, etc.
776 or 730 link to original version
Serial level classification
505 for individual story titles
505 $r for individual responsibility for individual stories
505 $g original publication information
100/700 fields for writer, artist and cover artist
490/830 for storyline/event
700 $t/g (g is repeatable, t is not) for individual title/story responsibility
521 Audience Local 650s (or 600s) for other major characters
Local 650s (or 600s) for any other character that may be important
Local 650s (or 600s) for hero/team
ALWAYS REMEMBER
»You can do anything you want in your own catalog, for the good of the patron.
Analytic cataloging
One Record to rule them allOne Record to bind them
One Record to bring them alland in the OPAC bind them
- With my apologies to J. R. R. Tolkien
Serial analytics
1. Collocates series2. Keeps items in the proper order3. Gives a place to display full holdings on the title, as
well as more information on the individual volume4. Probably already exists on OCLC5. Classified on the serial level6. Proper order of volumes easily found
1. Indicia (originally published as …)2. Cover gallery (back of volume)3. Amazon4. Wikipedia (See Justice League of America)
Responsibility
» $c in 245˃ Justifies 700˃ Expanded role in RDA (Rule of Three is dead, long live the Rule of Three)˃ Et al. can still be used on local level˃ If 700 is not justified here, justify in 505 or 700 $g˃ Can be quite large˃ 3 people make up the “author” of a comic book
+ Writer+ Artist (penciler)+ Cover artist+ Book doesn’t exist without all 3
If artist or writer is someone of note, can be 100 (e.g. Stan Lee)
1xx/7xx fields
» Must use˃ 100/700 pairs for writer, artist and cover artist˃ These are the three without whom the book would not exist˃ Must use relator codes or terms (MARC list preferably, with additions)˃ Usually the writer gets the 100 due to tradition. Local need or
predominant role may change that.
» If time allows˃ 700s for other roles such as inkers, colorists, editors, etc.
» Research level˃ 700 $t, $g for story title˃ Can be used in addition to or instead of responsibility in 505˃ $t is not repeatable, $g is- use for multiple story titles
Who can have this?
» VERY, VERY IMPORTANT» USE THE 521 (Audience)» Allows one to mark an item as All ages, Teen+, Mature, etc.» Can be checked by staff prior to circulation so that, for
example, Johnny 10-year-old doesn’t get Zenoscope’s Grimm fairy tales
» Would be nice if there was a pop up of the type when one buys cigarettes or R-rated movies- alas this is currently impossible with current generations ILS’s.
» Helps to prevent challenges by funneling appropriate materials to appropriate ages
» By its very presence shows the library cares
Subjects
» Must use˃ Name of team or main characters˃ E.g., Avengers (Fictitious characters)
» If time allows˃ Name of other major characters˃ E.g., Wolverine (Fictitious character) in a crossover with Spider-man,
or Joker (Fictitious character) in a Batman volume
» Research level˃ Other characters who are important (e.g., a locally popular villain)˃ Any character with more than two pages (especially if creating
authorities)
RDA change to 650
» In AACR2, a character was a person if “capable of authorship”
» In RDA, a person is a person, whether fictitious or not
» Now a 600, not a 650» Simplifies cataloging and searches» Gives more structure to name» May mean that NACO participants can now
create character subject authorities, speeding adoption. Still being debated by PCC.
Analytic linking,analytic to serial
» Use 490/830 pair to link analyzed item to serial record.

» The 490/830 pair can also be used to collocate stories, such as:˃ Events
+ Blackest Night+ Civil War
˃ Storylines+ Avengers Cormac Saga+ Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne
» Many events, and some storylines cross multiple titles
» May not be reprinted in same volume» If reprinted in same volume need link back to title

It’s the end of the show as we know it… “The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way and then dipped
suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well.”
--Lewis Carroll. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1916), p. 1.
