Draft of Learning outcomes for Sound Recordings Cataloging

Jay Weitz (model instructor for the sound recordings cataloging workshop) has created a draft of the learning outcomes for the sound recordings cataloging workshop and the videorecordings cataloging workshop. The sound recordings cataloging workshop will be the workshop that "goes on the road" via the chapters. Please feel free to comment on these learning outcomes. Thanks to Jay for drafting these.

Sound Recordings Cataloging Workshop

  1. Participants will be able to explain the difference between Record Types “i” and “j” and be able to list at least three kinds of ambiguous sound recordings that should be categorized as Type “i”.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the proper Type and Bibliographic Level coding for a sound recording that also happens to be a continuing resource.
  1. Participants will be able to list the chief sources of information for sound recording discs and the prescribed sources of information for the major descriptive areas of a bibliographic record.
  1. Participants will be able to explain at least three major bibliographic differences that justify the creation of a new record for sound recordings.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the choice of entry for sound recordings that contain one work, two or more works by the same person or body, and works by different persons or bodies with a collective title.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the choice of entry for sound recordings that contain works by different persons or bodies without a collective title both in the “popular” and the “serious” idiom.
  1. Participants will be able to explain at least three instances where the use of field 006 may be appropriate.
  1. Participants will be able to list at least two of the “bibliographic events” whose dates may be known in the cataloging of a sound recording and explain how to determine the most important dates.
  1. Participants will be able to explain when a sound recording duration belongs in field 300 and, when it does not, what are the options for listing durations.
  1. Participants will be able to explain how to use field 028 for multiple publisher numbers that are non-consecutive.
  1. Participants will be able to list at least two of the types of standard numbers that should be coded in field 024.
  1. Participants will be able to explain at least three correct uses of field 246 and how its use is distinguished from that of field 740.
  1. Participants will be able to explain where the General Material Designation (GMD) should be placed.
  1. Participants will be able to list the two 5XX fields in the record where performers might be included.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the difference between a standard contents note and an enhanced contents note.

Videorecordings Cataloging Workshop

  1. Participants will be able to explain at least three major bibliographic differences that justify the creation of a new record for videorecordings.
  1. Participants will be able to explain how music videos and sound recordings may be treated similarly and how they may be treated differently in terms of choice of entry.
  1. Participants will be able to explain in which field the videorecording system (DVD, VHS, etc.) is specified.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the difference between letterboxed and standard or full screen videorecordings.
  1. Participants will be able to explain how language data for videorecordings is dealt with.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the difference between subtitles and closed captions.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the importance of summary notes for videorecordings.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the difference between mixed responsibility and shared responsibility for videorecordings.
  1. Participants will be able to explain how DualDiscs are to be cataloged.
  1. Participants will be able to explain how streaming media are to be cataloged.
  1. Participants will be able to list at least two of the “bibliographic events” whose dates may be known in the cataloging of a videorecording and explain how to determine the most important dates.
  1. Participants will be able to list at least two of the types of standard numbers that should be coded in field 024.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the difference between a subject heading and a form/genre heading.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the difference between entities that are recorded in field 245 subfield $c, field 508, and field 511 for videorecordings.
  1. Participants will be able to explain the difference between a 4XX/8XX series entry and a 730 related title entry for videorecordings.

I'll just be commenting on the sound recordings (SR) learning outcomes at the moment. I think it's an excellent list, and certainly in the workshops I've done, are covered. I do have a question about uniform titles (UTs), which are not accounted for here. Is that because the workshop is primarily geared to description? (UTs would definitely also overlap with scores, if there is to be a scores workshop as well). My experience with UTs in SR workshops is all or nothing, and that primarily depends on the audience. Just my initial thoughts & I look forward to continued discussion!

This looks like a great list, but I also agree with Mary's comment. A review of UTs would be nice.
