[DCRM-L] Some Advice on Using Citation field

Fri Nov 29 07:08:36 MST 2024

Hi Bob,

Thank you for the advice.

I see what you mean about the ‘Leaf books’ I have removed this.

Moving forward I will add the identification of the leaf if it is there or add the (single leaf) like you say I don’t want the user to think we have the whole book.

I understand what you say about using the 500 rather than 520, which makes sense, I want to say something about what the original book, what it was about and the subject area, not specifically about the detached leaf.

Many thanks, I’m always learning new things on my journey of rare books cataloguing, and I always get great snippets of valuable information in here.

Margaret

Margaret,

I think you're on the right track.

This may be somewhat unorthodox, but I usually specify in cases like these using a parenthetical phrase that the resource isn't substantially complete, e.g., something like:

510 4   Incunabula short title catalogue, $c il0035000 (single leaf)

or if you know the exact leaf, you can specify which one (e.g. "$c il0035000 (leaf sii)" (or perhaps "s2" or "sij") if the image in the record shows the actual leaf). Otherwise, if somebody is seeing this entry in an index (e.g., our library catalog allows the user to look up 510 entries in an alphabetic index) the user would reasonably suppose you have the whole thing. I think that's somewhat misleading.

I also think your note is fine, as a 500. I don't think I'd use 520 unless you're summarizing the content of the leaf itself.

Regarding the record https://napier.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?context=L&vid=44NAP_INST:44NAP_ALMA_VU1&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&tab=Everything&docid=alma9923993881902111, I wouldn't use "Leaf books" in 655 as a genre/form for these--the leaves themselves aren't leaf books.

What a lovely collection to be cataloging!

Hi everyone,

I am currently cataloguing 60 single sheet incunabula’s from the West European incunabula : 60 original leaves : from the presses of the Netherlands, France, Iberia and Great Britain:   <https://napier.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/44NAP_INST/n96pef/alma991674820102111> and would like to get some advice on using the citation/reference note field 510 in the single sheet records specifically when taking the original title from the ISTC and also adding this to a 246 to make easier for discovery.

E.g. for this single leaf you can see full record for the single sheet here [Detached leaf from Ludolphus de Saxonia Boek van den leven ons heeren Jesu Christi].<https://napier.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/44NAP_INST/n96pef/alma9923993881902111>

Is what I have done here acceptable?

I would also like to describe a bit about the book from whence the leaf came, if I can find out.  Is this acceptable if I say where I took the information from and place this in a 520-summary field.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Margaret
