Yes, you could create a 700 field and use the term “donor”. ------------------------------------------------------ Iris O'Brien Early Printed Collections Cataloguing and Processing Manager The British Library St Pancras 96 Euston Road London NW1 2DB Tel.: +44 (0)20 7412 7731 E-mail: [log in to unmask] From: CIG E-Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Erika Delbecque Sent: 16 April 2015 11:20 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CIG-E-FORUM] Discussion of Record 1 I have got a similar question - would you create a 700 field for the person who gave the book to the former owner, and if so, what relator term would you use?

I haven’t had an opportunity to do a full record, unfortunately, but I did leave them in. This might be a silly question, but I wondered whether there might be any circumstances under which you’d include the dedicatee (James Shaen) as a 700 field. Given interest in provenance & associaions, I wasn’t sure whether this might be relevant in some cases. It feels perhaps a bit excessive, but I can imagine there might be times when readers might be interested in information like that. Best, Jennifer From: CIG E-Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of O'Brien, Iris Sent: 16 April 2015 10:40 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: [CIG-E-FORUM] Discussion of Record 1 I think the records look pretty similar. Those of you who don’t have a lot of rare books cataloguing experience, is there anything in the records that looks unusual to you? Or do you have any other questions or comments? When I created my record I thought for this exercise I would include citations/references in the 510 in the format of the latest edition of the Standard Citation Forms for Rare Materials Cataloging (available free online: http://rbms.info/scf/ ) to see what it was like even though we actually still follow the previous version within the ESTC. What do you think? It’s probably clearer for users not necessarily familiar with these reference works as such but I must say it does take longer to input. ------------------------------------------------------ Iris O'Brien Early Printed Collections Cataloguing and Processing Manager The British Library St Pancras 96 Euston Road London NW1 2DB Tel.: +44 (0)20 7412 7731 E-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ****************************************************************************************************************** Experience the British Library online at www.bl.uk<http://www.bl.uk/> The British Library’s latest Annual Report and Accounts : www.bl.uk/aboutus/annrep/index.html<http://www.bl.uk/aboutus/annrep/index.html> Help the British Library conserve the world's knowledge.
