Hello all,
I’m Jennifer Dumbelton, a liaison librarian. My current role doesn’t involve cataloguing, but having always done it in previous roles, I’m hoping to get back into it in some form once my contract is completed.
I haven’t done any rare books cataloguing, but looked after the antiquarian collection at the Museum of History of Science when I was librarian there, and that really highlighted the differences between modern and rare book cataloguing for me. I took the historical
bibliography module at UCL when I was studying there, and hope to get more training if it becomes appropriate.
I’m interested in hearing how people got into rare books cataloguing; it’s very intriguing to hear it’s something some people fell into, as it seems a very specific thing to come across by serendipity!
Best,
Jennifer

Subject: [CIG-E-FORUM] Rare book cataloguing
Good morning and welcome to the CIG rare books cataloguing e-forum from your three moderators, Karen Pierce (Cardiff University), Katie Flanagan (Brunel University) and Iris O’Brien (The British Library), we’ll be here between 10am and
4pm over the next couple of days. We’re delighted to have a number of people signed up to the e-forum and are looking forward to sharing knowledge, experience and questions as we consider the following topics:
Wed 15th April (10-4)
10-12.30: Routes into rare book cataloguing
2-4: Standards and Provenance
Thursday 16th April (10-4)
10-12.30: Looking at practical examples
2-3: Continue looking at practical examples
3-4: Any other queries?
This will help give some direction to our discussions but they aren’t set in stone, so don't feel you can't post something you wanted to talk about if you are only around at a particular time of day. If you're posting about something new,
then please give your subject header a relevant title so that those participating can keep track of conversations more easily and include [CIG-E-FORUM] in the header to aid those who are filtering mail into a separate folder. We’ll have a lunch break between
12.30 and 2, but please feel free to keep posting over this time as well.
Tomorrow’s session will focus on practical examples. The links to early printed books for the practical exercise are on the CIG website, alongside a template to create your own records:
http://www.cilip.org.uk/cataloguing-indexing-group/events/cig-e-forum-rare-books-cataloguing
We hope people will share their records with the e-forum on the second day; it is not compulsory to submit the records if you just want to have a go in private but we would encourage people to do so. You only need to complete those fields
and subfields you think are necessary for each title and feel free to add extra fields to the form where necessary (e.g. additional note or subject fields). We would like to assure you that shared records won’t be 'marked' or ‘judged' in any way and that we
expect that the records submitted won't all be identical. In fact, it's the differences in records which will aid our discussions.
On a practical note it might be worth me mentioning at the start of the day that messages sometimes take a little while to appear on JISCmail lists, so if your message doesn't appear straight away then please don't worry or re-send. We're
not moderating the list, so it will get through.
So, to kick us off for today, please feel free to introduce yourselves to the list and either tell us how you got into rare book cataloguing (if it’s a role you already have), or feel welcome to ask questions about it.
