A Guide to Special Collections in the OCLC Database
Author: OCLC.Publisher: Dublin, Ohio : OCLC Online Computer Library Center
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
This guide begins by describing the OCLC database, including ways in which it is used by librarians and library patrons; countries reached by OCLC; programs intended to enrich the database, e.g. retrospective conversion projects; cataloging formats (books, serials, sound recordings, musical scores, audiovisual media, maps, archives and manuscripts, and machine-readable data files); and vignettes of the database (OCLC coverage of Shakespeare and Bach, the top 100 authors and the top 25 composers in the database, and a brief discussion of special collections). An annotated listing of the special collections of OCLC member libraries that are cataloged in the OCLC database is then presented. This list is arranged alphabetically by state, then alphabetically by institution within each state, and a subject index to these entries (which constitute only a fraction of the database) is provided. Four appendixes include lists of languages in the database, Title II-C "Strengthening Research Library Resources Program" projects, and major microforms projects in member libraries. A brief description of the OCLC online union catalog concludes the guide, and a brief questionnaire inviting reader comments and suggestions is attached. (CGD)

The Design of Bibliographies
Author: Sidney E. BergerPublisher: Greenwood
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
The range of topics of bibliographies is unlimited and, since bibliographies are produced for the benefit and use of the reader, the compiler must present whatever data are relevant and organize it in a logical and useful fashion. Also, the work should be presented in a physical format which yields the greatest, most comfortable, and most aesthetic access to the data. The aim of the author and printer of a bibliography, Sidney Berger writes, should be the production of a useful and usable book. While the author must be concerned with the intellectual content and its organization, the book designer must concentrate on the physical elements of which bibliographies are composed--the type style and size, the size of the book, the arrangement of type and blank space on the page, ink color, and the weight, color, and gloss of the paper, etc. The optimum design of a bibliography is essentially the optimum use of typographic elements. This book discusses the basics of book typography and then goes on to describe types and formats of bibliographies. Berger presents brief discussions of the elements of design that bibliography compilers and designers must consider--drawing from many relevant sources to create a generalized conception of the ideal bibliography. This book is a gathering of sound ideas about book design into a convenient volume, with a focus on the particular problems that bibliographies present. It includes appendixes with numerous examples and illustrations. This volume is of great use to book designers, compilers of bibliographies, and publishers who wish to improve or maximize their bibliographical formats.
