[DCRM-L] Question concerning the use of RBMS Binding Terms for artists' bindings

[Ryan Hildebrand]

Dear Marie-Chantal,

The usage you describe is appropriate. I have not used $3 in such cases, but have instead used MARC 590 to convey, for example: “copy 3 bound by René Kieffer [description of binding].” I would also add an AAP: René Kieffer, $e binder, again relying on the 590 to indicate the copy.

Best,
Ryan

Marie-Chantal,

It seems to me that using a

655 _7 $a [binding term] $2 rbbin $5 [MARC code for your organization]

would serve your purposes. However, I am interested to hear what our colleagues on the list say.

Best,

Jason

Dear colleagues,

We have a small collection of artists’ bindings in our holdings (about 300 titles) which we would like to describe using GF descriptors translated from RBMS Binding Terms (or AAT) from the Répertoire des vedettes-matière (RVM) team. In the application rules for RBMS Binding Terms, it is explained that:

“Descriptions of bindings are for the most part copy-specific; even in the case of publishers' and edition bindings, variants often occur which frequently constitute the principal points of interest for those studying the bindings. Libraries doing original cataloguing should describe as desired the physical characteristics of their own copies; other libraries making later use of such cataloguing will need to evaluate the 655 entries for appropriateness to their own copies.”

Since I am describing contemporary fine bindings—i.e. bindings usually made for one exemplar of a “mass” produced edition—there are, in most cases, several copies attached to the same bib record, out of which only one exemplar has been bound by a book artist. My question is therefore the following: would you recommend the use of binding terms in field 655 even though the descriptors only apply to some of the copies we own?

I checked the MARC format, thinking perhaps I could use a $3 subfield, but it does not seem appropriate (it is use for a part of the resource, not for a part of the edition)…

Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise :)
