This fourth edition was prepared in 2015-2016 as a supplementary
text for a graduate music cataloging course. This edition is
rewritten to a large extent to conform to the new instructions and
paradigms represented in Resource Description and Access (RDA). RDA
instructions for printed music, recorded music and music video are
accompanied by advice, examples, illustrations and complete catalog
records, including versions in MARC21 format. Consistent with RDA,
the chapter on form and choice of access points found in earlier
editions is gone, replaced with a chapter on authorized access
points. The concept of "uniform title" has evolved into the concept
of the "preferred title," as part of an authorized access point,
which might require manipulation and addition of some elements for
disambiguation and collocation. Only three chapters are used for
description of printed music, sound recordings and video
recordings. Many of the older LP examples were removed as were VHS
video recordings. Multimedia packages are now rare in the
marketplace, but streaming audio and video are quite evident so
examples now include those media. Facsimile examples from the third
edition have been retained and many new examples have been added.
Most catalogers today are using RDA in combination with MARC21.
Accordingly, in an appendix, we have rendered each example in
MARC21 format using the OCLC Connexion approach to MARC21 record
formatting.A lengthy bibliography in earlier editions has been
replaced by a brief list in the introduction, with pointers to
online resources that are both current and constantly updated by
working catalogers.

Library music materials require a more complex shelflisting
approach than books in order to account for extremely prolific
composers, works with generic titles, opus numbers, and thematic
index numbers. Shelflisting Music provides clear, straightforward
instructions and flowcharts to guide the cataloger through the
process of shelflisting music-whether in score or recorded
format-enabling anyone to produce call numbers that are consistent,
accurate, and in accordance with standard Library of Congress "M"
classification practices. After a brief explanation of the
conceptual basis of music shelflisting, Richard P. Smiraglia brings
together and clarifies shelflisting practices that are otherwise
difficult to find or understand, providing concise and
easy-to-follow instructions for assigning shelflist numbers.
Smiraglia also includes a glossary of terms, as well as flowcharts
to illustrate the process graphically. This small, easily
accessible book can be kept by a computer workstation and consulted
quickly for shelflisting guidance by anyone who catalogs music
materials, from novices to experts.
Living legend Smiraglia has written the first book devoted
exclusively to exploring the concept that is commonly referred to
as a bibliographic "Work." In bringing together material from both
inside and outside the discipline of information studies, he traces
the continuing development of catalogs, search engines, and other
kinds of information retrieval tools, the better to understand the
maze of editions and revisions and translations that make up the
evolution of a Work. Two appendixes contain charts demonstrating
the evolution of concepts and definitions of a Work; a third
contains a summary of the sampling technique employed to generate
the data in chapter 5 "Defining the Work in Quantatative Terms" and
chapter 6 "The Constitution of Bibliographic Families."
Since 1998 when FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic
Records) was first published by IFLA, the effort to develop and
apply FRBR has been extended in many innovative and experimental
directions. Papers in this volume explain and expand upon the
extended family of FRBR models including Functional Requirements
for Authority Data (FRAD), Functional Requirements for Subject
Authority Data (FRSAD), and the object-oriented version of FRBR
known as FRBRoo. Readers will learn about dialogues between the
FRBR Family and other modeling technologies, specific
implementations and extensions of FRBR in retrieval systems,
catalog codes employing FRBR, a wide variety of research that uses
the FRBR model, and approaches to using FRBR for the Semantic Web.
Librarians of all stripes as well as library and information
science students and researchers can use this volume to bring their
knowledge of the FRBR model and its implementation up to date. This
book was published as a special issue of Cataloging &
Classification Quarterly.
Cultural forces govern a synergistic relationship among information
institutions that shapes their roles collectively and individually.
Cultural synergy is the combination of perception- and
behavior-shaping knowledge within, between, and among groups. Our
hyperlinked era makes information-sharing among institutions
critically important for scholarship as well as for the advancement
of humankind. Information institutions are those that have, or
share in, the mission to preserve, conserve, and disseminate
information objects and their informative content. A central idea
is the notion of social epistemology that information institutions
arise culturally from social forces of the cultures they inhabit,
and that their purpose is to disseminate that culture. All
information institutions are alike in critical ways. Intersecting
lines of cultural mission are trajectories for synergy for allowing
us to perceive the universe of information institutions as
interconnected and evolving and moving forward in distinct ways for
the improvement of the condition of humankind through the building
up of its knowledge base and of its information-sharing processes.
This book is an exploration of the cultural synergy that can be
realized by seeing commonalities among information institutions
(sometimes also called cultural heritage institutions): museums,
libraries, and archives. The hyperlinked era of the Semantic Web
makes information sharing among institutions critically important
for scholarship as well as the advancement of mankind. The book
addresses the origins of cultural information institutions, the
history of the professions that run them, and the social imperative
of information organization as a catalyst for semantic synergy.
The Elements of Knowledge Organization is a unique and original
work introducing the fundamental concepts related to the field of
Knowledge Organization (KO). There is no other book like it
currently available. The author begins the book with a
comprehensive discussion of “knowledge” and its associated
theories. He then presents a thorough discussion of the
philosophical underpinnings of knowledge organization. The author
walks the reader through the Knowledge Organization domain
expanding the core topics of ontologies, taxonomies,
classification, metadata, thesauri and domain analysis. The author
also presents the compelling challenges associated with the
organization of knowledge. This is the first book focused on the
concepts and theories associated with KO domain. Prior to this
book, individuals wishing to study Knowledge Organization in its
broadest sense would generally collocate their own resources,
navigating the various methods and models and perhaps inadvertently
excluding relevant materials. This text cohesively links key and
related KO material and provides a deeper understanding of the
domain in its broadest sense and with enough detail to truly
investigate its many facets. This book will be useful to both
graduate and undergraduate students in the computer science and
information science domains both as a text and as a reference book.
It will also be valuable to researchers and practitioners in the
industry who are working on website development, database
administration, data mining, data warehousing and data for search
engines. The book is also beneficial to anyone interested in the
concepts and theories associated with the organization of
knowledge. Dr. Richard P. Smiraglia is a world-renowned author who
is well published in the Knowledge Organization domain. Dr.
Smiraglia is editor-in-chief of the journal Knowledge Organization,
published by Ergon-Verlag of Würzburg. He is a professor and
member of the Information Organization Research Group at the School
of Information Studies at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.
