    Structures for the Control of

    Recorded Information
    National Bibliographies
    National Collections

    Bibliographies
    Library Catalogs
    Indexes & Abstracts
    Bibliographic control
    why?

    bibliographic identification verification location

    • acquisition of collections (wholesalers and dealers in the


    book trade supply materials on an ongoing basis -- brokers,
    publishers contract; building a collection in an area)
    • reordering
    • interlibrary loan
    • answer to a patron’s inquiry
    Bibliographic control
    why?

    • need to identify the title of an item (print or non-print)


    • making or tracing the inventory record is bibliographical
    control

    • sources needed for identification and verification (of


    accuracy of a citation) or determining location of an item

    • levels from local to international and results in the concept


    and apparatus of “national bibliography”
    Bibliographic control
    definitions
    • concept: a system for the management of all intellectual
    and creative activity

    • process: mastery over written and published records which


    is provided for and by the purposes of bibliography

    • operationalization: synonymous with effective access


    through bibliographies to all forms (of resources in which
    knowledge is retrieved and contained) and formats (print,
    non-print, near-print)
    Bibliographic control
    apparatus

    • bibliographic apparatus is the means to achieve control


    • in practice, it is a series of publications (i.e. an apparatus or
    pieces in the system) by which the world’s literature is
    organized for the purposes of access, management and
    communication through bibliographies, catalogs and other
    listings
    • scope: bibliographic control for any nation, subject
    domain, type of material, linguistic record
    Bibliographic control
    structuring for access

    • means by which information is helped or impeded in its


    flow (by information policies, laws, networks, and
    institutions, cataloging and classification schemes,
    mechanical and electronic means)

    • habitual use of particular resources (ways to organize and


    interrogate these sources to retrieve information)
    Bibliographic control
    origins
    • legacy of early printers’ advertisements and official control
    of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries -- Stationers’
    Company register (trade bibliographies & universal
    bibliography)
    • universal bibliography bibliographers from the late 19th
    through the mid-20th century still believed in universal
    bibliographies
    • union catalogs: major libraries making copies of their
    catalogs available and all bibliographies contributing to a
    knowledge of book and other stocks
    Bibliographic control
    history (1960s)
    • Henriette Avram engineered the creation of the MARC
    format (in the LC), enabling the machine readability of
    bibliographic records
    • Fred Kilgour began OCLC as its first director (first name:
    Ohio College Library Center) -- cataloging information via
    cable and terminal to all its member libraries, who in turn
    were able to put their original cataloging online for the use
    of all other members.
    • another major network came into being in 1977 to serve
    research libraries -- the Research Libraries Information
    Network (RLIN)
    Universal Bibliographic Control
    (UBC-IFLA)

    1974
    • catalog the item only once
    • catalog the item closest to the source of publication
    • make the basic data on publications available
    universally, promptly, and in a form that is internationally
    acceptable
    (national) Bibliographic control

    • record of any nation’s intellectual and creative output is


    organized for the purpose of access and management

    • composed of the bibliographical apparatus or organization


    which aims at assembling the “record of a nation”

    Congress, from 1871)
