LIS 703 -- Descriptive Cataloging Exam

Instructions for Completing and Submitting Your Exam - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
For this exam, you will create bibliographic records for five (5) items using RDA and ISBD. Transcribe the
appropriate data and then encode the data with both the fixed and variable MARC fields that we have
covered in this class to date. Templates have been provided for you to use - please do not substitute a
template of your own creation. You need to transcribe only the data elements that have been covered
so far in this course:

title and statement of responsibility area,
variant titles,
edition statement,
publication area,
physical description area (including the Content, Media, & Carrier Types),
notes area
standard numbers (ISBN and LCCN)
fixed fields in MARC.

Please do not transcribe call numbers, subject headings, or access points other than the ones listed
above. Use the information provided for you for each item to create your records. You will be provided
with a title page, title page verso, cover, and/or a table of contents, as well as further information about
each item (such as page numbers and dimensions).

You are encouraged to consult the course Lessons and Assessments, as well as resources such as RDA
Toolkit and OCLC Bibliographic Formats & Standards website. If you have any questions about the exam
(about the logistics of completing the exam or if you need clarification on one or more of the items), you
must contact the professor via email. You MAY NOT consult another person about exam content (such
as other students, librarians, etc.) nor may you post questions about the exam in the Canvas discussion
forum or outside email or discussion lists. Any postings made about the exam in the discussion forum for
the duration of the exam period will be deleted.

Complete the Descriptive Cataloging Exam within this Word document. Put your name after "Your
Name" at the top of this page and change the file name of this document to: YourLastName_Exam1.doc
(e.g., Jane Doe should rename her exam Doe_Exam1.doc). The file extension can be either .doc or .docx.
Upload the completed document to Canvas by 11:55pm CST on the due date noted within the Weekly
Schedule. Please do not wait until the last minute to upload your exam.

If you have any technical difficulties that prevent you from submitting the assignment, email it to the
professor's outside email address (which can be found in the course Syllabus). It will not be counted as
LIS 703 Descriptive Cataloging Exam p. 2
late as long as the exam is received in the professor's inbox by 11:55pm CST the day it is due. However,
you may do this only if you are unable to upload it to Canvas.

Use of templates
The templates provided contain the common MARC fields needed to transcribe bibliographic data. You
do not need to use every field for every record. Leave the MARC field blank if you do not use it. You do
not need to delete it. Please feel free to add fields as needed (e.g., add an additional 246 for multiple
variant title fields.) Replace the x's in the 5xx fields with the appropriate MARC field code (e.g., change
5xx to 504 for a note on the inclusion of a bibliography). The underscores ( _ ) represent the first (1
st
)
and second (2
nd
) indicators. Replace the underscore with the appropriate indicator value where needed.
The first (1
st
) indicator in the 245 field is provided for you, so please do not change it.

Here is an example of a completed template:

010 _ _
020 _ _ $a 0910608725
245 10 $a Bringing home the gold : $b the Mary Green story / $c by Stephanie Stevens.

LIS 703 Descriptive Cataloging Exam p. 3
In addition, you need to complete a template for the fixed fields. Here is an example of a completed
template for the fixed fields:

Transcribe the appropriate value for each fixed field, even if it is listed as optional on the OCLC and LC
MARC websites. If a fixed field should be blank, then do not put anything in the white space next to that
field. Do not put n/a, an underscore, or an equivalent value.

Assume that all of the following items on this exam are books written in English unless otherwise
specified.

If there is a table of contents present, you are expected to transcribe it in the appropriate MARC field.
Transcribe a basic contents note. Do not transcribe an enhanced content note.


Please transcribe all of your answers on this exam using blue font.
