[DCRM-L] New citation for "Mortimer, R. French 16th cent." and Mortimer, R. Italian 16th cent."

[Robert Maxwell]

Yes our local system (Sirsi) does index the authority record, but only as a browse (alphabetic) index. The 510 field itself is searchable by keyword, but the authority record with references only appears in the alphabetic browse index for that field, which we call a citation search. Finding this search takes a bit of doing, since it’s a bit of an unusual index and strangely enough I couldn’t convince our web people to put it on the front page :-)

Go to http://catalog.lib.byu.edu

Choose “other searches” (in the grey-green box)

Click “alphabetic”

Enter the search term (e.g. “Mortimer”, since we haven’t revised them yet)

Click “Citation.”

References from the authority record display in the index entries that say “see related headings for”. There aren’t any cross references currently on the Mortimer record, but if you’d like to see some cross reference displays, enter “Grabhorn Press” as a search term following the instructions above. You’ll see in the index

See related headings for: Grabhorn Press Bibliography

Clicking on the link will show you the citation form (at least the old citation form, I’m not sure if this one changes) for the three Grabhorn bibliographies. If you click on the link of one of these forms the system will execute a keyword search of this string in the 510 field (the records come up more or less in backward chronological order); if you’d like to see them in order by number, re-execute the search in the citation index (as described above) as an alphabetic search.

We’ve developed this citation authority file around a locally-defined authority format which is linked to the 510 field.

Bob,

Does your local system index the authority records for this field/element?  We’ve been struggling with this issue since the new Standard Citations came out and have held off implementing them so as not to lose the old references…

We locally create authority records for forms in 510s and when we revise this one to the new form we will add a cross-reference from the Mortimer form.

I did my Bachelor's thesis at Smith years ago on an incunabulum just purchased by the rare book room, of which Ruth Mortimer was head. She was an incredible person to learn from.

I know it must conform to convention, and to that I bow as we all do; but it is a pity to lose "Mortimer, R. ..." as the citation, given the very personal excellence that pervades these two catalogs (and the fact that their readers--because they make excellent reading--know them by that name).
