MARC (Machine readable cataloguing)

“MARC is a generic term applied to the universe to MARC formats”

MARC was first developed by Henriette Avram

Evolution:

1^st conference on MARC by Library of Congress

2^nd conference on MARC by Library of Congress (1965)

LC get a grand from CLR(Council of Library Resources) in 1965 to conduct a pilot project on MARC

3^rd conference on MARC by LC in 1966. Official opening of the pilot project.

Pilot project was known as “MARC I”.

MARC I format restricted to books only.

MARC I format entirely based on LC catalogue card

So, BNB (with active participation with LC) makes some operational changes to make it interchangeable format. As a result MARC II was developed(1968)

MARC II – capable for all forms of library material like books, monographs, serial, map, music etc.

MARC II was split into two formats

a.     BNB MARC (Later UK MARC)

b.     US MARC

US MARC becomes US national standard in 1971 (ANSI Z39.2)

& international standard in 1973 (ISO 2709)

MARC II influenced the other countries to develop their own standard format which followed the same structure but the tags were slightly different.

As a result, certain amount of incompatibility exists among different countries

To solve this problem, IFLA launched UNIMARC........ but eventually it failed.

Structure of MARC tapes

LEADER

o       Provides information about total length of record & type of record

o       It is 24 characters (00-23) long

RECORD DIRECTORY

o       It shows what variable fields are in the record and what their locations in the record are.

o       It is of 12 characters long

VARIABLE FIELD

o     Two types : 1)variable control field (001-009) 2) variable data field

UNIMARC

*by IFLA

*1^st version of UNIMARC (1977) is only for monographs & serial

*UNIMARC follows the ISO communication format ISO-2709 (1981)

ISBDs (International Standard Bibliographic Description)

The ISBDs main goal : offer consistency when sharing bibliographic information

A stress was laid on the need of standardisation in bibliographic description during international conference on cataloguing principles (1961) held in Paris.

To solve this problem

ICME (International Meeting on Cataloguing Expert) was sponsored by IFLA & held in Copenhagen (1969).

Formed a committee

Committee submitted report in 1971. Which is known as ISBD(M) . (M) means Monograph

In its application many ambiguities & lack of details were discovered

To resolve this problem – IFLA conference (1973, Grenoble) was held

After conference two documents were published

ISBD(M)      “M means Monograph”

ISBD(S)        “S means Serial”

In 1975 ISBD(G) “General” was developed

Serve as single frame work for all types of publications in all types of media

ISBD(G) was later on incorporated into AACR II

ISBD(G) acted just as some guiding principles

It was not use as a working tool for the cataloguer

So, IFLA brought out the following ISBDs on the basis of ISBD(G)

1.        ISBD(M) 

2.        ISBD(S)

3.        ISBD(CM)   ; Cartographic Material

4.        ISBD(OB) ; Old printed books

5.        ISBD(PM) ; Printed music

6.        ISBD(AV)    ; Audio Visual

7.        ISBD(CP) ; Component parts

8.        ISBD(CF)     ; Computer Files

As ISBD has so many numbers they are called ISBDs
