Thank you, Patricia, I certainly want to know about name headings and have changed our bibliographic record and imported the correct authority heading. Mag Furlong Cataloguing Dept University of Auckland. -----Original Message----- From: ART LIBRARIES SOCIETY DISCUSSION LIST [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Patricia Price Sent: Wednesday, 26 July 2006 4:14 a.m. To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARLIS-L] Cataloging mixup I'm hoping that art librarians who have access to catalogers or who themselves do a lot of cataloging can help me. When I became the solo librarian at the architecture firm of Allan Greenberg, Architect LLC, I noticed that the author field in the MARC record for Allan Greenberg's book, George Washington, Architect was incorrect: it listed Allan C. Greenberg rather than "my" Allan Greenberg, whose middle initial happens to be "M," but whose name in the authority record is simply "Allan Greenberg." I notified the Library of Congress, which corrected its bibliographic record, clarified its authority record, and notified OCLC. However, the records of all the libraries that cataloged (i.e., copy cataloged) that book before 2005 remain incorrect. At the end of this month, Rizzoli will release a new book by Allan Greenberg titled Architecture of Democracy and I'm concerned that these two books will eventually appear in most library catalogs to be the works of two different authors. Is this something that the catalogers would like to know and care to correct or am I, not too far removed from library school, creating the proverbial mountain out of a molehill? Thank you for your input, Patricia Patricia Price Librarian Allan Greenberg, Architect, L.L.C. 1050 Thomas Jefferson St. NW Suite 2100 Washington, D.C. 20007 202-337-0010 202-337-9222 (fax) Perhaps the two most valuable and satisfactory products of American civilization are the librarian on the one hand and the cocktail in the other. -- Louis Stanley Jast __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send 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 (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send 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 (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
