Question 6 One of the objectives of Cutter's statement of objects of the catalog is to enable a person to find a book of which the is known. author title subject any of the above Question 7 The FRBR (Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records) lists four (4) functions of bibliographic control. Which of the functions allows the user to choose which version of a software program that he/she seeks? A) to find materials that correspond to a user's stated search criteria B) to identify an entity C) to select an entity appropriate to user needs Question 8 D) to acquire or obtain access to the entity described "Document surrogates" are brief descriptions of items in a collection. Another term for a document surrogate is a "bibliographic record." Question 9 An example of an "access point" is a/an A) author B) title C) subject Question 10 Authority work involves keeping subject and name lists up to date as well as dealing with new terms and names. The preferred topical terms list used by catalogers is the Library of Congress Subject Headings.
Question 11 The system by which surrogates are coded for computer manipulation is known as A) metadata B) MARC C) Library of Congress Subject Headings D) none of the above Question 12 "Resource description" is one of three (3) operations in bibliographic control. In order to describe library resources (i.e., books, films, CDs, etc.), catalogers use this standard: A) Dewey Decimal Classification B) Library of Congress Subject Headings C) HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) D) AACR (Anglo-American Cataloging Rules) Question 13 Catalogs that represent the holdings of more than one library or collection are sometimes called consortiums interlibrary loans union catalogs card catalogs Question 14 A library catalog in most cases has multiple access files. This means that an item may be searched/accessed by different "access points" (such as author, title, or subject). Question 15 The main entry (chief access point) is usually based on the author of an item.

Question 28 Which of the following electronic catalogs is not a union catalog? MOBIUS Library of Congress Online Catalog SJLibrary.org California Libraries Catalog Question 29 The fewer words used in a keyword search, the better the chances of finding the exact title.

Question 31 What was the first "nextgen" library catalog?
WorldCatLocal Aquabrowser Endeca Encore Question 32 "Next-generation" catalogs are developed as customized catalog interfaces. One of the features available in these catalogs is integration of social media functions similar to those used in Twitter and Facebook. Question 33 Open-source nextgen catalogs are also emerging. With open-source implementations, libraries may use these applications with no costs involved. Question 34 Characteristics of nextgen catalogs include: broad keyword search experiences access to summaries and tables of contents utilization of social media functions all of the above Question 35 In usability testing, users were appreciative of features that allowed them to search by keyword and then limit the results. Section 2 Question 1 In the early 20th century, American librarians came to value standardization of cataloging practice. Before that awakening, cataloging was largely an individual activity for each library.

Question 16 Mortimer asserts that cataloging consists of descriptive cataloging subject cataloging classification all of the above Question 17 According to Mortimer, the Library of Congress is the world's largest cataloging network. Question 18 Discussing "access points," Mortimer notes that the main entry heading may be the first-named author or the title. Question 19 Punctuation in ISBDs is standardized. One way to identify a particular element is by the use of square brackets. What kind of information is included in [brackets]? A) omissions of information B) marking at the end of a field C) Question 20 information received from outside the preferred sources of cataloging In the three (3) levels of description, the choice of level required in a library is dependent on the AACR2 rules and the funding of the library. Question 21
According to the lecture, what is the easiest choice of main entry? A) B) C) D) Question 22 when only one person is responsible for the content of an item when more than one author, but not more than three, are responsible for the content of an item when a corporate body is responsible for the content of an item when an item is a compilation of essays, stories, recordings, etc. When there are five (5) authors responsible for a work, list the first named author as the personal main entry. Question 23 When a book has an author and an illustrator (two different people), record the illustrator as an added entry. Question 24 The main tool(s) involved in subject access is/are A) subject headings B) classification C) keywords Classification can be defined as Question 25 A) identifying an item uniquely in a collection. B) dividing all human knowledge into ten classes. C) the arrangement of books or materials in groups or classes according to some standard. D) the choice of headings based on 'authorship.'
Question 26 0 / 1 point The cataloging rules that describe data according to an order of descriptive elements and the use of unique punctuations were established by the A) DDC B) LC C) ISBD D) AACR Question 27 Because original cataloging is time-consuming and very expensive, one solution has been to use copy cataloging. However, in order for copy cataloging to become an efficient and effective choice, catalogers must follow the rules laid out in the. A) Library of Congress Bibliofile B) Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules C) MARC 21 Coding D) Library Bureau Question 28 What are some common mistakes that show up in copy cataloging records? A) missing 300 fields B) inaccurate edition statements C) typographical errors Question 29 Arlene Taylor suggests that procedures for copy cataloging should be in a written policy so that the instructions can be referred to on a continual basis, relieving a supervisor from having to repeatedly give detailed instructions. Question 1 A MARC cataloging record (or bibliographic record) provides information that a computer can read and interpret. What type of information may be included in a bibliographic record?
A) Question 2 description (such as title, statement of responsibility, edition, etc.) B) main entry & added entries (authors, titles) C) subject headings (standard list of subject headings) D) classification or call numbers (location of item on shelf) E) all of the above The Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (2 nd ed., 2002) provide guidance on how to compose a bibliographic record. Which information is determined by AACR2 rules? A) description B) main entry & added entries C) subject headings D) classification or call number E) A & B F) C & D Question 3 Where is bibliographic information placed in a MARC bibliographic record? A) signposts B) fields C) files Question 4 Two reasons for using the MARC standard are that it prevents duplication of work and it allows libraries to better share bibliographic resources. Question 5 "Signposts" may be in text format or in MARC tag format.
Question 6 A MARC bibliographic record consists of a collection of fields. Within each field, information is recorded in A) alphabetical order B) one or more subfields C) holdings format Question 7 Each field is associated with a 3-digit number called a tag. Which tag contains information about the edition of a book? A) 010 B) 020 C) 250 D) 260 Question 8 Which tag is used for topical subject headings? A) 260 B) 300 C) 440 D) 650 Question 9 Which tag is used for the date of publication?

A) main entry B) notes C) locally-defined uses D) subject added entries Question 15
Sharing cataloging information means that one cataloger creates a bibliographic record and then shares that bib record with other libraries. With the advent of the computer, librarians no longer had to constantly reinvent the wheel. Question 16 Mortimer notes that in a MARC record, the record structure consists of three main components: leader, directory, and variable fields. Which of the three provide(s) bibliographic information in a traditional catalog record to be viewed by library users? A) leader B) directory C) variable fields Question 17 In some tags, indicators provide additional information on how to process the data in a field. Who or what is on the receiving end of this information? A) computers B) library users C) catalogers D) none of the above Question 18 Regarding delimiters, Mortimer points out that most catalogs do not display the "$a" in the MARC record since it is the default coding for the beginning of a field. Question 19 On page 43 Mortimer illustrates how the 020 tag is formatted. Using that information and looking at the sample MARC record on page 41, answer the following question:which subfield code in the 020 tag provides the cost of the item? $a $c $z $6
Question 20 Again referring to the 020 tag info on p. 43, what does the NR mean for subfield code $c?

What did he mean by that statement? A) that librarians are pitiful creatures B) that librarians have bad memories C) Question 22 that librarians need to know what titles are in their collections and how to locate them D) that librarians should not purchase duplicate titles Library catalogs contain descriptions of items in the collection. These descriptions include information such as A) authors and titles B) publishing information C) where an item is located on the shelf Question 23 All variable field tags are followed by two indicator positions. These may be blank or contain digits coded 0-9. Question 24 The (>) symbol indicates the beginning of a new field. It is called the A) start-of-field mark (SOF) B) start-of-line mark (SOL) C) start-of-message mark (SOM) D) start-of-new-field mark (SONF)
Question 25 All automated systems show MARC records exactly the same. There are no variations allowed. Question 26 The 245 field always ends in a period, even if other punctuation is present. Question 27 Which field/fields NEVER has/have ending punctuation? A) 1XX B) 300 C) 440/490 D) 6XX Question 28 If a 7XX field ends with an open date, always add a period as ending punctuation. Example: 700 1_ $a Smith, Frederick, $d 1977- Section 4 Question 1 AACR2R is divided into two sections. Chapter 1 provides general bibliographic description for ; chapters 2-12 provide rules for the description of. A) books, pamphlets, printed sheets ; non-book materials
B) all types of materials ; specific types of materials C) books ; electronic resources Question 2 D) non-book materials ; all types of materials ISBD(G) is incorporated into Chapter 1 of AACR2R as the general format for bibliographic description. Question 3 There is no special order of bibliographic description as specified by AACR2R. Question 4 To achieve consistency in the application of AACR2R rules between the libraries and the Library of Congress, catalogers consult the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations. There is a print version of LCRI, however, many libraries subscribe to an online system called which includes the complete LCRI. A) LCRI Online B) LC Subject Headings C) RDA Toolkit D) Cataloger s Desktop Question 5 Specifying the chief source of information helps to ensure in bibliographic description. A) pertinence B) consistency C) uniformity D) A & B E) B & C Question 6 For a book, the chief source of information is the
A) binding B) CIP information C) title page and verso of title page D) dust jacket Question 7 Using Table 3-2 (p. 69 of Chan), choose the chief source of information that is appropriate for a music CD: A) disc and label B) reel and label C) label D) container and label Question 8 The chief source of information for a feature film on DVD is the item itself and possibly its container. (Again use Table 3-2.) Question 9 Discussing punctuation, Chan states: "A prescribed punctuation mark precedes each element in the description and signifies the nature of that element. (p. 77) As an example, the text notes that a semi-colon (;) precedes dimensions (e.g., size) in the physical description area (tag 300). Understanding the above statement, which of the following areas is incorrect? A) 135 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. B) 135 p. ; 22 cm. C) 135 p. : ill. : 22 cm. D) none of the above Question 10 Another punctuation mark used in bib records is the colon (:). What is/are the element(s) preceded by a colon? A) name of a publisher or distributor

A) square brackets B) parentheses C) three periods D) space - dot - space symbols Question 12 In distinguishing between the first and second levels of description, look for more information in the second level. For example, you would find the following in the second level but not the first: extent of item series title standard number all of the above Question 13 Mortimer notes that the first level of description could be used for materials in a/an A) elementary school B) entire collection of a large public library C) research collection Question 14 The second level of description is used by most libraries. Question 15 The AACR2 contains the five appendices in Part II. The appendix that provides the language information to omit the initial article is in Appendix E.
Question 16 In the technical reading of a resource, the cataloger makes an examination to determine the contents and how the item can be uniquely described. Question 17 The "best" information available to physically describe an item is the chief source of information. Question 18 The technical reading of an item may include A) scanning the table of contents B) reading the preface and/or introduction C) noting the subjects in the index Question 19 A library may not use more than one level of description for its different collections. Question 20 AACR2R rules state that academic libraries and large public libraries must employ level 2 bibliographic description. Question 21 The Cataloger's Desktop discusses the structure of the AACR2 noting that there is a mnemonic structure. This means that because rule 1.5 is concerned with the "physical description area," then to find the rule on "physical description area" for amotion picture (a specific type of material), you should look at rule. A) 6.5
B) 7.5 C) 8.5 D) 9.5 Question 22 As a rule of thumb, the cataloguer should follow the more specific rules applying to the item being catalogued, whenever they differ from the general rules. Question 23 The "Options and Omissions" section of AACR2 discusses levels of description. It is noted that when appropriate, add further information to the required set of data pertaining to any level. Question 24 In the General Rules section of Chapter 1 ("Sources of Information"), AACR2 notes that the source(s) of information for a bibliographic description of a resource is dependent on whether that resource is or is not be part of a larger resource. When a monograph consists of multiple parts, base the description on the A) first part or, lacking this, on the earliest available part. B) all parts. C) the last published part. Question 25 D) none of the above Regarding inaccuracies in an area where transcription is required, how is a misspelled word or other inaccuracy handled?

A) all words are capitalized B) exactly as to wording, order, and spelling, but not necessarily as to punctuation and capitalization C) without any articles ( a, an, the ) Question 2 Although the GMD (general material designation) is optional, most libraries use it for nonprint (non-book) materials but not for printed materials. Question 3 The title that is shown below is an example of a/an. Example: Allons danser = Let's dance A) parallel title B) subtitle C) alternative title D) series title Question 4 In a bib record, place the subtitle after the title proper (or GMD) and precede it with a space-semi-colonspace. Question 5 Although authors are the usual choice for the statement of responsibility, other possibilities may include
A) photographers B) artists C) corporate bodies Question 6 The statement of responsibility names the person/persons or corporate body/bodies responsible for the item being described or for the performance of the content. No matter the number of persons/corporate bodies responsible, all are named in the statement of responsibility.

A) [i.e., 1989] B) c2003 C) [1972?] D) 1999-2001 Question 11 Mortimer notes that the GMD is inserted after the title proper to indicate the type of material. What type(s) of materials arerequired by AACR2 to use a GMD? A) books, printed materials B) non-book materials C) all materials D) none; GMDs are optional Question 12 A new edition of a computer file is referred to as a new "version." Question 13 If a cataloger records the following in Area 2 (tag 250), what does it mean? 250 ## $a 4 th rev. ed. / $b edited by Jake First and Tom Second. A) First and Second are the editors of all editions. B) C) Question 14 First and Second are the editors of the 4 th revised edition only.

The order in which the information is presented in the field is the following: publisher name, place of publication, date of publication. Question 16 The copyright date of an item is usually the same as its publication date. Question 17 In a bib record, there can be only one 1XX tag and one 245 tag. However, there can be several 7XX tags. Question 18 0 / 1 point Which of the following 245 fields represents a title main entry? A) 245 14 $a The grass is greener B) Question 19 245 00 $a Much ado about nothing $h [videorecording] C) 245 10 $a Sightseeing in Austria D) none of the above To distinguish between editions and printings, consider the wording on the item.

The ISBN for a multi-volume set will be the same as the ISBN for each of the separate volumes.
Question 19 Mortimer contends that information about the physical description of a nonbook item can be taken from anywhere. Question 20 Each title in a series always has its own unique series number and its individual ISBN. Question 21 Mortimer notes that a monograph in a series may have an ISBN or an ISSN, but not both numbers. Question 22 Notes should be brief, clear and understandable. Question 23 When the item has more than one ISBN, a cataloger should input the ISBN that relates to the item being described. Optionally, more ISBNs may be transcribed if they are qualified. Question 24 Subfield c of field 300 ($c) is concerned with the dimensions of an item. One way that this description is important to the patron is to help find the item on the shelf.

Question 34 Unlike books and book-like products, music and videos (products primarily for entertainment) are usually assigned a number called a UPC (Universal Product Code) or an EAN, not an ISBN. Question 35 The reason why ISBN-13 digit numbers are being assigned is because in the near-future ISBN-10 digit numbers will run out. A thirteen-digit number is being assigned instead of an 11-digit number so that A) enough numbers will be available for the next 50 years. B) more 020 fields may be used in MARC records. C) the number can become part of a larger system of identifiers called EAN. Section 7 A Question 1
