  1. Cataloging Unusual Sound Recordings Robert Freeborn Music/AV Cataloging Librarian Pennsylvania State University rbf6@psulias.psu.edu

  2. CD or not CD??What is the answer?? • Disclaimer • Problem Areas • Plan of Attack • Examples • Enhanced CDs • Hybrid CDs • Encrypted CDs [Boo, hiss!!!] • Oddities • Remote Sound Files

  3. Disclaimer • Assuming basic knowledge of AACR and MARC • “Hitting the high points” • Some decisions open to cataloger discussion

  4. Problem Areas • GMD (245 ‡h) • GMDs are generic terms describing the medium of the item (OCLC Bib. Formats/Standards, 2.1) • Physical Description (300) • Notes (500, 538, etc.) • MARC Fields • Type (Leader/06) • 006 • 007

  5. Plan of Attack • Consult Rules (AACR2R Chs. 6, 7 & 9, LCRIs) • OCLC Bib. Formats & Standards (MARC) • Create Record • MOVE ON!!! “Do not agonize” – Jay Weitz

  20. Shaped CDs

  21. MOUG Newsletter no. 74 (November 1999) p. 12 and was reprinted in "Cataloger's Judgment as Q&A 2.56: Question:  I recently purchased a "shaped" CD, the shape of which isn't the standard 4 3/4 in. circle, and it got me to thinking about how these things should be described.  How do you reflect its dimensions in the 300 $c?  Would you still give its diameter in inches (as for any other sound recording), or would you use centimeters?  The container mentions that this type of disc is "Not playable in CD changer or car CD player.“ Would you put this information in a 538 note, or just a standard 500? The disc is (very) roughly triangular in shape.  At its widest, the CD's diameter is about 4 1/2 in.  The disc (for want of a better term) is an interview CD featuring the British heavy metal group Iron Maiden.  It was published in 1997 by Sonotec for their Private Talks line, manufactured by Cuba GmbH, Berlin (in fact, they've trademarked the term "Shape CD"), and distributed by DA Music, Germany.  The disc itself features a lineup picture of the band with their cadaverous mascot "Eddie" looming over them.  The CD is shaped so that it's broad at the bottom and tapers off towards the top.  For fans of "Star Trek:  Deep Space 9," it looks very much like a top-down silhouette of the USS Reliant*.  (How do you like that for an analogy?).  The digital information itself is still in circular rings, but takes up only 1/2 to 3/4s of the disc's surface.  For an actual picture of this "disc" (as well as others), take a look at the following Web site: http://members.xoom.com/shapecdclub/shapecat9.htm (mine is in the upper left corner of Seite 9). *Actually, it was the USS Defiant.

  22. Answer:  Presumably, even though the shape is a bit odd, the CD is still designed to play in most standard CD players (with the exceptions noted).  That means that its widest diameter should still be considered the standard 4 3/4 in. and should be so described in the 300 subfield $c (not that 6.5D2 gives us much choice in the matter).  I am guessing that the actual playing surface (with the pits and spaces to be read by the laser) remains circular within the odd shape.  In accordance with 6.7B10, try to describe the physical shape, perhaps something like: 500     Disc is roughly triangular in shape. Optionally, as you describe the shape, you could also describe the illustration and how it defines the shape of the CD, for example: 500     Disc is roughly triangular in shape, with portrait of the band across the base and its mascot Eddie at the apex. If the term "Shape CD" appears on the item, it would be a logical quoted note (500).  Additionally, include the statement about the disc not being playable in certain types of machines, either in quoted form or in paraphrase, whichever is appropriate.  I think this note fits into the definition of, and could properly be coded as, 538.  One also wonders if this is some sort of limited or otherwise special edition, with a standard round disc also being available.  If there is some indication of that on the item, you can transcribe an edition statement or optionally formulate one as per 6.2B3.
