Module 2 Lesson 4 Bibliographic Areas and Elements: Area 5, Area 6, Area 7, and Area 8 Activity: What is the difference between a physical description and a ISBN? Does pages not part of the physical description? How many numbers does ISBN contains? AREA 5: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AREA AREA 5: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AREA The physical description area of the bibliographic record is the area in which the extent of an item is recorded. For books, the extent of an item includes the number of volumes, leaves or pages, columns, and plates, and the presence of illustrations, maps, and/or accompanying material. The physical description also gives the dimensions and format of the item. In most cases, the physical description of a book (e.g. xiv, 508 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.) is shorter than that of a non-print item (e.g. 3 filmstrips : col. ; 35 mm. + 3 sound cassettes + 3 guides). Physical description is synonymous with collation. Usually, this area starts a new paragraph in the bibliographic description, instead of being preceded by a full stop-space-long dash-space. AREA 5: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AREA Rule 5A. Preliminary rule. Take information for this area from any source, but prefer information taken from the item itself. Format and punctuation used: Preliminary page, page number : illustrations (colored or black and white) ; measurement of the materials Example: vi, 126 p. : ill. (b&w) ; 23 cm. xxi, 335 p. : col. Ill. ; 34 cm.

It usually relays the contents of the work, its relationship to other works, and any other characteristics not included in the preceding areas of bibliographic description. The notes area may be formal (derived from the item itself), or informal (supplied by the cataloger. The notes must be as brief as possible and easily understood. Notes vary from one type of material to another. The may contain information on any of the following: Frequency, system requirements, nature of the item, language, adaptation, title taken from outside the chief source of information, credits, change in serial title, physical details, accompanying material, audience, other formats, summary, contents, library's holdings and "with" notes. AREA 7: NOTES AREA Rule 7A. Preliminary rule Give useful descriptive information that cannot be fitted into the rest of the description in a note. If a note seems to be useful, give it even if it is not in that general outline.

International Standard Music Number (ISMN) Example: ISBN: 9710743211936 Standard number and terms of availability is a unique identification number assigned to an edition at the time of first publication, in accordance with an internationally standardized identification system, usually appearing somewhere on the item like ISBN, ISMN, ISSN, etc. TYPES, AND ARRANGEMENTS OF CATALOGS The Figure above refers to the arrangement of a catalog entry in the logical and systematic order to provide easy retrieval and access to library resources. Different types of catalog cards are presented as follows: ❖ Author Catalog Card. Author is the person who is chiefly responsible for the intellectual content of a work or simply the creator of a work. In an author catalog, the entries are under the author's name and arranged alphabetically using its surname It provides access to documents by the names of the author. Libraries may have arranged this catalog in three different ways: a) There may be an exclusive author catalog without entries mixing it with others entries such as titles, subjects, series, etc.; b) Author entries may form part and parcel of a dictionary catalog; c) Author entries may form part of the alphabetical index of a classified catalog. The number of cards a library will reproduce depends on the number of author-added entry. Different types of catalog cards are presented as follows: ❖ Author Catalog Card. An author is generally a person or a corporate body who is responsible for the content of the document. Carter, Jimmy (see upper portion – with bold format) is considered as the author's main entry at the same time as the author-added entry (see the bottom portion of the card). Different types of catalog cards are presented as follows: ❖ Title Catalog Card. The title of the book occupies as the leading section of entries or serves as the main entry of the card, which is arranged in alphabetical order. The title card contains all of the same information that the author catalog contains, but the information is rearranged on each card entry. Different types of catalog cards are presented as follows: ❖ Title Catalog Card. Instead of the author listed at the top of the card, the title of the book is listed. Different types of catalog cards are presented as follows: ❖ Subject Catalog Card. It is a list of books in a collection, each entered under the name of the specific subject as a heading, and are arranged alphabetically. In the case of multiple subjects in one book or author, the arrangement is still alphabetical, but it depends in the library if they have a separate card catalog cabinet intended for the subject card or author card (still arrange alphabetically). Different types of catalog cards are presented as follows: ❖ Shelf List or Main Catalog Cards. A shelf list is a type of catalog card that libraries often use for the organization but are not available to the public. The shelf list combines all title, author, and subject cards to provide a complete inventory of what the library has on its shelves The shelflist is a catalog organized by the location of the books and other materials in the library. In this lesson… You have encountered all the prescribed sources of information from Area 1 to Area 8 with its corresponding rules and guidelines. You survived loving someone who doesn’t love you back? If yes, I am sure you will survive the next module. If no, review your feelings again, I mean the previous modules.
