I will be attending the MARBI meetings at ALA Midwinter as the ARLIS/NA representative. The discussion papers and proposals on the agenda are available at: http://lcweb.loc.gov/marc/marcadvz.html Of particular interest to ARLIS members who catalog or consult electronic resources is Discussion Paper 2001-03, Types of Dates for Electronic Resources in MARC 21 Formats. This paper reviews the different types of dates for electronic resources that are used as qualifiers in the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set and how they correspond with defined MARC 21 fields. The Dublin Core defines five different date types: Created, Valid, Available, Issued, Modified. Some of these qualifiers refer to dates connected with the production or modification of the resource itself; others refer to dates connected with the subject matter or scope of the resource (i.e. the "Valid" qualifier was defined to cover resources like train schedules which are posted in advance of the date the schedules take effect). These date qualifiers have proved difficult to map to MARC 21; the paper discusses various options, and asks a series of questions which will serve as the basis of the discussion. To which I would add: Are there implications for art-related cataloging in this? For example, material pertaining to exhibitions on musuem websites. Does your museum post material about an upcoming exhibition prior to the opening? Or keep material related to previous exhibitions on the website? Would it be useful for someone cataloging a page devoted to an exhibition to be able to enter these dates? If so, where on the MARC record? And what kind of date qualifier would they get within the Dublin Core? Are there any art-related dates, such as dates of sale or auction, that have implications for the cataloging of electronic resources? If you have any thoughts, send them along to me before Jan. 12. -- Elizabeth O'Keefe Director of Collection Information Systems The Pierpont Morgan Library 29 East 36th Street New York, NY 10016-3403 TEL: 212 590-0380 FAX: 212 685-4740 NET: [log in to unmask] __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] Administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner at: [log in to unmask]
