The GMD is Not Enough
Switching to Enterprise, navigating RDA changes, and making things easier with
the 007 tag.(we promise this will be fun)
Roberta Gebhardt and Jemma Hazen
007: What is it?
Use field 007 to code the physical characteristics of an item, or parts of an item.
Why is the 007 important?
Because Enterprise uses the 007 to determine format display icons and facets.
Wait…doesn’t the GMD* do that?
* General Material Designation
The GMD is going away
(the slide in which everyone panics)
Ok, so you’re thinking…
My library with the GMD: My library without the GMD:
Records without GMDs in the MSC
Records without GMDs in the MSC
Here’s how it looks in Enterprise
The Big Picture
• WorldCat will not support the GMD after March 2016 for RDA and hybrid records
• Increasingly, new records will be in RDA without GMDs
• At its March meeting, the CMC decided that we are no longer encouraging anyone to add GMDs.
The conversation we want to have:
The conversation we need to have:
How we are preparing for changes
• Add 007s to records that need them get them• Whenever possible, select RDA records with
007s • Figure out how to aid staff and patrons with
searching• Understand that changing with the times is
what we do
Confusing Facets
• Facets options display information from the MARC record
• Facets are only as good as the cataloging
What happens without 007
MHS pilot to update 007s
Historical Society
• 61,639 total bib records
• 28,324 total non-BOOK records
• 9,903 non-BOOK records have 007s
Belgrade
• 46,504 total bib records
• 25,101 total non-BOOK records
• 23,662 non-BOOK records have 007s
MHS pilot to update 007s
Historical Society
• 61,639 total bib records
• 28,324 total non-BOOK records
• 9,903 non-BOOK records have 007s
Park High School
• 10,727 total bib records
• 1,271 total non-BOOK records
• 999 non-BOOK records have 007s
What we learned from the pilot
• Most records could be changed in batch with minimal involvement from members
• If your Item Types and Item Categories are descriptive making changes is easier
• Using Item Types and the GMD to select bib records, it takes about 20 minutes to change 500 records.
• Of the 321,957 non-BOOK bibs in the MSC about 110,000 don’t have a 007
How members can help
• When you bring records in through SmartPort for AV materials, select bibs with 007s
• Pick RDA records for new publications when given the choice
• If you spot a record without a 007 learn how to add one
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help
Changes to aid Staff Searching
Try Advanced Searching
Use Enterprise
Possible Admin changes
Conclusion
• RDA is here• The GMD is going away• The 007 is going to help us• MSC Admin is making changes to records that
will aid in display and searching for staff and patrons
• Member libraries can do their part with good cataloging
