BOOKPLATES

 

In 1997 Acquisitions requested that donors be acknowledged in the bibliographic records. Acquisitions puts flags in books marked BOOKPLATE. For Special Collections these are virtual bookplates (we no longer adhere actual bookplates inside the front cover of books). Regular processing will have a bookplate inside front cover. Titles are to be processed in the normal fashion with one exception: searching the InfoLinks subject authority file for donor or honoree information and adding that information to the bibliographic records. These names will be searchable in InfoLinks by a subject search for the name in direct order preceded by the word “Bookplate:” For example: Bookplate: J. Laurence Charlton.

1. Open the book to the inside cover where you will see the bookplate

     For instance:

           A gift by Sona and Thomas Hoisington

             In memory of J. Laurence Charlton

For ARK COLL and SPEC COLL this information will be on PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS flag provided by Special Collections.

2.  Search each donor and/or honoree in the InfoLinks subject index. Precede the name with the word “Bookplate:” and type the name in direct order. For example:

     Bookplate: J. Laurence Charlton

Honoree authority record

Donor bookplate search

Honoree bookplate search

a. If you find a matching subject authority record, add to the bibliographic record a 690 heading (local subject field) for that donor/honoree. The 690    must match the 150 field in the corresponding subject authority record. For example:

690      Bookplate: Sona and Thomas Hoisington 

690      Bookplate: J. Laurence Charlton

b. If no subject authority is found, establish a subject authority for donor/honoree access point.

    i. Add to the bibliographic record a 690 field for each donor/honoree. Enter the name or names in direct order, preceded by "Bookplate."

    ii. After completing the cataloging process, key in an authority record for these new local subject access points using the following procedures:
