|
|
n December 2, 2002, along with other major libraries in the United States and as a participant in the
|
|
national Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC), the NLM Cataloging Section began implementation of the
|
|
amendments represented in the <em>Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules</em>, 2nd edition, 2002 Revision (AACR).
|
|
However, NLM has decided to delay implementation of certain sections of AACR rule 21.2A.2 "Minor
|
|
Changes" until at least March 31, 2003, so that the implications of these changes on various areas of
|
|
the Library can be thoroughly investigated. Specifically, NLM is not implementing application of rules
|
|
21.2A2c (differences involving the name of the same corporate body), 21.2A2h (order of words in a list),
|
|
21.2A2i (addition or deletion of words indicating the type of resource) in cases when these changes would
|
|
affect the first word of a title. In addition NLM is not applying rule 21.2A2a if the <strong>first</strong>
|
|
word changes from an acronym to a full-form or vice-versa.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
While NLM supports the overall goal of reducing the number of major changes requiring new serial records,
|
|
the Library considers some of the changes now defined as minor in rule 21.2A2 to pose possible problems for our users. NLM is
|
|
concerned about the impact of those changes defined as minor where the first word of a title
|
|
appearing on an issue of a serial significantly differs from that which appeared in previous issues.
|
|
The three major areas of concern are that: 1) users of indexing databases will have difficulty identifying
|
|
citations; 2) patrons of libraries where materials are arranged alphabetically will not easily locate
|
|
serials on the shelf; and 3) publishers are likely to be concerned that their materials are cited incorrectly.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As an indexing agency as well as a research library, NLM is concerned that title abbreviations in
|
|
indexing citations (that are based on the title proper) may differ significantly from the title
|
|
that appears on the journal itself. LocatorPlus, NLM's online public access catalog,
|
|
has a rich cross-reference structure that allows users to retrieve the correct record using earlier
|
|
or later forms of the title. That same structure is used in PubMed for searching journal citations. However,
|
|
only one form of the journal title abbreviation can be used to display a journal citation. For
|
|
most of the minor changes defined in AACR rule 21.2A2, users can recognize that the bibliographic
|
|
record in LocatorPlus and the citation for the article are for the same title. For cases where the
|
|
first word of the title changes, users will find this much harder to recognize.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
NLM also produces many print and online publications which list our indexed titles. These
|
|
lists only contain a single form of the title. The Library is concerned that users will not recognize the
|
|
indexed citations for a title such as <em>Journal of Biological Chemistry</em> if the publisher changes it to
|
|
<em>Biological Chemistry</em>, and NLM continues to cite it in LocatorPlus as
|
|
<em>Journal of Biological Chemistry</em>, and in PubMed and Index Medicus and other printed lists
|
|
as <em>J Biol Chem</em>.
|
|
NLM's experience also shows that publishers, not unreasonably, expect their
|
|
citations to carry the title that actually appears on their journal and NLM anticipates objections
|
|
from publishers if some of these new rules are applied.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Many of NLM's constituents are smaller medical or hospital libraries that shelve their journals
|
|
alphabetically by title. These libraries are dependent on the bibliographic records distributed
|
|
by NLM. It is our view that users in these institutions will have a difficult time finding these
|
|
journals if there are significant differences between the title as it appears on the publication
|
|
and the shelving order based on the cataloging record.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If NLM's preliminary analyses hold, it is likely that the Library will not encounter many changes in
|
|
these categories during the next few months. However, if NLM does have a need to create new serial records for LocatorPlus, any such records
|
|
will not be submitted to CONSER.
