[DCRM-L] 510 citations

[Manon Theroux]

Hi, everyone:

I could use some clarification on citing resources in the MARC21 510 field.
If the resource to be cited is NOT a bibliography or catalog and doesn't
contain a bibliographic description of the resource being cataloged, can
the 510 field still be used for the citation or should the citation be
incorporated into the general note? For example, citing an entry for a
printer in a biographical dictionary to justified supplied dates in the 26X
or citing an academic monograph to justify an attributed name. DCRM(B)
suggests that you can ("or other authoritative reference sources") and
points to SCF as a standard, but the SCF scope statement itself is a bit
narrower: "bibliographies and catalogs (printed or electronic) that are
useful in verifying, identifying, or describing items held in rare book or
special collections libraries and that have been or are likely to be cited
in bibliographic records, trade catalog descriptions, and bibliographies."

Below are the relevant bits from DCRM(B), SCF, and MARC21.

Thanks!
Manon

===================
DCRM(B):
7B14. References to published descriptions
7B14.1. Give references to published descriptions in bibliographies or
other authoritative reference sources if these have been used to supply
elements of the description. Use the form and punctuation conventions
recommended by Standard Citation Forms for Published Bibliographies and
Catalogs Used in Rare Book Cataloging. Begin the note with the word
“References” and a colon.
References: Evans 24658
(Comment: Made in conjunction with a general note reading: “Publication date
from Evans”)

7B14.2. Make other references to published descriptions, if considered
important. Such references are especially useful whenever the cited source
would serve to distinguish an edition (or variant) from similar editions
(or variants), substantiate information provided by the cataloger, or
provide a more detailed description of the publication being cataloged.
References: Gaskell, P. Baskerville, 17
References: ESTC (CD-ROM, 2003 ed.) T60996
References: Lindsay & Neu. French political pamphlets, 2194
References: BM STC Italian, 1465-1600, p. 368
References: Ritter, F. Incun. alsaciens de la Bib. nat. de Strasbourg, 277
References: Palau y Dulcet (2. ed.) 19161

7B14.3. A general note may be made if a description of the publication
being cataloged does not appear in a specific bibliographical reference
source. Make such a note only if the publication fits the scope for that
source and the source purports to be comprehensive for its scope. Preface
the general note with the words “Not in” and a colon.
Not in: Martin & Walter. Révolution française. Cf. IV:2, 9093

SCF Working Principles http://rbms.info/scf/working-principles/

Scope:

This database includes bibliographies and catalogs (printed or electronic)
that are useful in verifying, identifying, or describing items held in rare
book or special collections libraries and that have been or are likely to
be cited in bibliographic records, trade catalog descriptions, and
bibliographies.

MARC 21 Bibliographic Format, Application:

Use the citation forms recommended in this list when creating
citation/references notes (field 510) in a MARC 21 bibliographic record.
These notes are described in Descriptive Cataloging for Rare Materials
(Books) 7B14.2 and other DCRM manuals.

The citation/references note (510) field provides a simple bibliographical
citation for a published description of an item and specifies where in the
resources that description appears; do not include other information. If
necessary, use a general note (field 500) to record additional information
provided by the resource cited. Create a citation/references note (510)
field for titles which might be useful for retrieval, even in cases where
this would involve repetition of information already recorded in a general
note:

General note (500) field:

500 __ $a Evans calls this the 2nd edition.

Citation/references note (510) field:

510 4_ $a Evans, C. American bibliography, $c entry 14023

-----------------------
MARC21, 510 Field https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd510.html

Definition and Scope:

Citations or references to published bibliographic descriptions, reviews,
abstracts, or indexes of the content of the described item.

Used to specify where an item has been cited or reviewed. Citations or
references may be given in a brief form (i.e., using generally recognizable
abbreviations, etc.). The actual text of a published description is not
recorded in field 510 but rather in field 520 (Summary, Etc. Note).

For *books* and *music*, this field contains references to published
descriptions of the item (e.g., descriptions of rare materials recorded in
a brief, standardized format) or reviews (e.g., reviews in professional
literature).

For *continuing resources*, this field is used to specify publications in
which a continuing resource has been indexed and/or abstracted and the
dates of coverage, if known. The indexing and abstracting services
referenced are primarily those issued as continuing resources. Certain
monographic titles, particularly those that are standard reference tools in
a subject area or that cover periods of time not included in continuing
publications, may also be given in this field.

For unpublished *visual materials* or graphic items collectively
controlled, this field contains references to published descriptions of the
work or collection. Citations to reviews of projected *visual materials*
are also recorded in this field.

For *mixed materials*, this field contains references to publications in
which abstracts, citations, descriptions, or indexes of the described
materials have appeared.
