[DCRM-L] OCLC Connexion / WorldCat indexing of MARC 510 field

[Robert Maxwell]

For an example of our catalog’s browsing citation search go to

catalog.lib.byu.edu

In the box to the right labeled “catalog searches” choose “other searches”

Click on the “alphabetic search” radio button.

Add a search to the “search for” box (e.g. “Renouard”)

Click on the blue “citation” box.

You get a results list like this:

This is one reason we’re trying quite hard (with more or less success …) to keep the forms in 510 consistent with each other, and we were thrilled with the development of Standard Citations over the last several years.

By the way, at the “other searches” page you could try out the “relator” and “place name” searches if you like. “Place name” indexes the 752 field; “relator” indexes the relationship designators, which are rotated from the end of the 1XX/7XX field and placed at the front so that it indexes first, and then the name:

Definitely useful! Our patrons and staff are accustomed to keyword searching our OPAC's "Bibliographic Citation" field for rare books and for prints: rare books with many editions and issues (e.g. bibles) have almost identical author/title/date, but are distinguished by Wing or STC number; prints with supplied titles (e.g. Wenceslaus Hollar's etchings) are distinguished by Pennington or New Hollstein number.

If statistical back-up is needed, I could put in a request for number-of-hits and number-of-reference-responses related to the Folgerpedia page "Bibliographic Citation field<https://folgerpedia.folger.edu/Bibliographic_Citation_field>" (which I now see could do with additional editing... must.... resist.....)

Hi all.

I had a brief but useful email exchange with Jay Weitz yesterday about the MARC 510 field. In its current setup (as confirmed by Jay), OCLC does not index the field<https://help.oclc.org/Librarian_Toolbox/Searching_WorldCat_Indexes/Fields_and_subfields/5xx_fields>, with a niche exception for SCIPIO<https://help.oclc.org/Librarian_Toolbox/Searching_WorldCat_Indexes/Indexes/Indexes_A_to_C/Citation_SCIPIO_specific> records.

It sounds like OCLC would be willing to consider a change. Jay says it would be useful to have a collective indication of interest from the RBMS community (perhaps endorsed by BSC), illustrated by use cases.

Would others support such a change in OCLC? If so, can you share sample use cases, for researchers or for staff?

I’ll start with my own use case: to facilitate aspects of cataloging activity, I’d like to find all records in OCLC that have a 510 citation to the J.R. Abbey catalogs<https://rbms.info/scf/?s=abbey+aquatint> and are associated with online resources (e.g. HathiTrust).

Keen to hear others.

Thanks,
Francis
