Irving ISD Library Cataloging & Processing Specifications For Vendors Approved October 2018 All vendors will conform to Irving ISD standards as stated below: Basic Profile These specifications apply to all libraries in the Irving ISD. All vendors will supply full/complete bibliographic records that adhere to the Irving ISD holdings format for all items. Spell out all abbreviations as per RDA inclusions. When RDA MARC records are not available, vendors will supply US MARC 21 bibliographic records that conform to the Irving ISD holdings format for all items. The library automation system used by Irving ISD Libraries is School Library Solution (The Library Corporation); holdings information is listed in the 949 local holdings field (format specified below). All items will be classified using the latest, unabridged version of the Dewey Decimal Classification system (DDC 23 as of July 2011). Include Lexile Measures (521 8$a550$bLexile) when available. Only Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) will be assigned to each item. LCGFT and GSAFD genre headings (655 7$aGenre$2lcgft or $2gsafd) will be assigned to each item as applicable. All vendors must strip out all Sears Subject Headings and strip Juvenile from LC Subject Headings. All vendors must strip out Juvenile literature in floating subdivisions in subject headings and Juvenile in floating subdivisions in subject headings that contain Juvenile fiction, Juvenile poetry, Juvenile drama, Juvenile humor, etc. so that they are Fiction, Poetry, Drama, Humor, etc. This includes all headings with JUVENILE in all caps. 600, 610, 611, 650, 651 are the most common ones we use. They either need to be converted to LCSH or deleted entirely. All items are cataloged in English; do not use foreign language subject headings. Submit one bibliographic record per title, with separate 949 holdings fields for each copy. Submit cataloging records electronically (via websites or email to wendyvera@irvingisd.net) or on 4 ¾ inch compact discs (labeled with the purchase order number, school name and date). Any vendor unable to comply with Irving ISD standards must notify Wendy Vera at wendyvera@irvingisd.net immediately. Any vendor who does not comply will be requested to refund or credit charges for labor to bring records up to standard. Cataloging Nonfiction Items Cut unabridged DDC numbers at the first prime.

Numbers are spelled out using the first three letters. Classify individual biographies as 92. Workmarks for individual biographies consist of the biographee s full last name entered in uppercase letters. Classify collective biographies as 920. Workmarks for collective biographies consist of the author s first three letters of last name in uppercase letters. General nonfiction items are placed in the NFC collection; there is no call number prefix. Nonfiction items written in another language are to be classified according to content not language. Reference materials are placed in the REF collection; use REF as a call number prefix. Professional materials are placed in the PRF collection; use PRF as a call number prefix.

Affix 2.5 mil label protectors over exposed spine labels and barcode labels. Attach barcode on the lower left corner of the front cover vertically reading down, ½ inch from the bend of the spine and 1 inch from the bottom edge of the book. See illustration below. Attach one spine label; bottom edge of the label should be 1 inch from the bottom edge of the spine. Our preference is that the spine label be placed on the spine horizontally when at all possible (or vertically if appropriate see next specification). If the spine label is too long and wraps around the spine to the front, it is permissible to attach it vertically to read from top to bottom (biographies are an example of being too long and wrapping around to the front). See below for visual examples. For books with less than a 1/4 inch spine, the spine label may be affixed on the front cover, lower left hand corner ½ inch from the bend of the spine and 1 inch from the bottom edge of the book. Slide the barcode up above the spine label on these books. Affix one property label listing the school name, Irving ISD, and Irving, TX inside the book on the fly leaf centered in the upper section. Correct placement for long spine labels with ¼ inch spine Wrong placement for long spine labels with ¼ inch spine
