Metadata profile for MARC as used in American Memory, PPOC, and Global Gateway

2009-10-16

American Memory is built using heterogeneous sources of metadata, using a common indexing approach. For many collections, the source records are in the MARC format. They may be records that are (a) maintained in the Library of Congress Integrated Library System (ILS), (b) maintained in Minaret (a MARC-based cataloging system), or (c) generated automatically from fields maintained in a relational database. The last category are often referred to as pseudo-MARC.

Introductory notes:

1. Any MARC field or subfield may be used. Some fields and subfields are explicitly excluded from indexing and display. A table lists fields and subfields and their treatment for indexing. MARC fields listed in ranges in that table may be indexed but not displayed. This may happen because a field has not occurred within the corpus and/or been identified as significant for display.

2. Content of fields and subfields usually reflects LC practice, based on AACR/AACR2/LCRIs, etc. Many MARC records for textual material in American Memory reflect old cataloging practices. P&P and G&M records reflect current practices of those divisions. Some early AM collections, assembled before the support for non-MARC records was introduced in AM, reflect practices that may be further from regular LC practice, often because the content type had not been routinely cataloged at the item level except in special instances (e.g., sheet music, pamphlets) and the information available was limited to an existing inventory.

3. Re geographic information. G&M has not used the 043 field (which holds Geographic Area Codes), using the 052, which is capable of representing finer levels of granularity, instead. Many records in American Memory (primarily for maps and photographs) currently have 752 fields that would now more correctly be in 662 fields. Records for some maps have coordinates for the map coverage in 034 fields.

4. In a few collections that use the MARC format (records not in the ILS), content that would normally be parsed into subfields is all in subfield $a.

5. Examples come from many different records. No single record demonstrates all the elements. Below the table are a small set of complete records.
