wonder how they will classify my REEL BASEBALL DVD of silent baseball films set? It includes dramas, comedies, even animation A good question. For books, a collection that includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc. is usually [Subject]--Literary collections, so perhaps something like that will be proposed. Filmic collections Motion picture collections, who knows? This initiative by LC includes television genre terms too. I do know that Slap Shot will be Hockey--Drama. Or should be; currently it's sole subject heading in LC's catalog is Sports films, which should be changed, plus genre terms Comedies and Features. This is only a change in LC's practice.

Re: [Videolib] Big Picture Cataloging Advice
Ah, a video cataloging question; where to begin? These are heady days in cataloging. The Library of Congress has announced that they are changing to the new cataloging rules titled RDA (for Resource Description and Access) after years of following the current AACR2r (Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd edition, revised) rules. As its title implies, AACR2 followed AACR1, though of course the 1 was merely implied until 2 came along. RDA changes--or attempts to change--the entire perspective of how cataloging is undertaken. The fact that LC is changing to RDA means all of their cataloging output will be in RDA format beginning April 1, 2013. Until then LC is outputting both AACR and RDA records with RDA gradually replacing AACR-- or so the plan is. For book cataloging LC's change means libraries will either have to change to RDA or start doing a good bit more fiddling with LC-supplied records. But since LC is hardly a prolific producer of cataloging records for videos, this factor won't be as important for video collections, but if media cataloging goes the way of book cataloging, academic libraries, research libraries, and large public libraries seem most likely to adopt RDA. Therefore, depending on your cataloging needs, your next media cataloger may well need to be trained in RDA. FWIW LC's video cataloging output follows archival cataloging rules which aren't specifically designed for circulating collections. Which brings me to the state of library school cataloging education. From the original poster: PS -I think they do a consistently weak job of teaching cataloging (in library school) Perhaps not surprisingly, many catalogers agree with the above statement. In my case I had two very good cataloging instructors 20 years ago at the University of Iowa, but it can be an overwhelmingly technical and detail-oriented course of study. Two problems with the teaching of cataloging in 2012 are that not that many library schools do it (it's not required at most library schools anymore), and that we're emerging from a period of uncertainty--sometimes resembling a pitched battle--about adopting RDA or not, and this comes after several previous years of debate, argument, and turmoil in the cataloging world during the writing of RDA. RDA is a product of committee development, and it tends to show in the writing. I like Helen Mack's suggestion as far as a practical approach: I think it depends on the volume of your ordering and the level of demand for immediate use. If a WorldCat/Connexion record is poor or non-existent, we do quick-and-dirty cataloging with the best record that can be found -- just enough to be able to identify it and charge it out. When there is a lull in the demand, you can get it back and do a more thorough job. Assuming you are not required to load your records to a consortium or utility that has unattainable technical requirements, this sort of record might function well enough in your local system, but the danger is that you'll accumulate quite a backlog in need of more attention. I also like Helen's suggestion of seeking out a vendor that will provide cataloging for your acquisitions. We do that, but we don't have the selection that Midwest has. We encounter Midwest's records on OCLC fairly frequently, and they know what they're doing. In fact, you could probably pick up some tips on how to fill out your local records by looking at records in OCLC. Also from Helen Mack: The instruction back then was terrible, and perhaps it is even worse now. This is unfortunate: cataloging is a really important job but not a very sexy one. It's a wonder that any new graduates want to do it. It hasn't gotten any sexier, thought the RDA/AACR battles have made the listservs more interesting or at least incendiary. RDA is touted as allowing library cataloging to interact better on the Semantic Web, which will be quite a boon if the semantic web ever becomes a reality, but in any case RDA does have a more information science-oriented application and is less library-centric (some catalogers think this is a good idea, others disagree). I would suggest looking for a job applicant with a strong database/info sci background and an MLS. The specific cataloging training can be picked up through online discussions and utilizing resources mentioned frequently on cataloging discussion lists like Autocat and OLAC-L (OnLine Audiovisual Catalogers electronic discussion list). Bottomline: ask the applicants if they know anything about RDA. Mike Tribby Senior Cataloger Quality Books Inc.

Titles with multiple copies held in different libraries are not aggregated into a single count. So multiple copies of Still Killing Us Softly (and some other titles) appear twice on the list. But the results are interesting even so. Of 250 titles, more than half (60+%) are feature films - 151 * The most borrowed title is Still Killing us Softly (419 circs if you aggregate the copies, 218 for one copy) * The most borrowed Feature Film: Forest Gump (310) * The lowest circ of the top 250 titles is 95 uses.

Re: [Videolib] Fascinating Copyright situation
A very interesting develpoment. A few years ago when I still subscribed to the Music Library Assoc. email discussion list another list member brought up a company (Proper) that put out nicely-packaged selections of music that may or may not have been in the public domain and the disinterest on the part of the majority of the list surprised me. In fact many members of the list felt no compunction about buying offered recordings for which the rights were an open question. They didn't seem to feel it was up to them to be concerned about such matters. I wonder if all the artists involved reclaimed their works would the millions of people who rip them off with illegal downloads etc. stop claiming it did not matter because they were only getting even with rich, evil corporations who took advantage of artists? I doubt it. I wonder about that, too. Of course there are evil coporations and then there are evil corporations. In one previous case cited in the link Jessica provided, it mentioned the estate of Bob Marley losing a case in which they tried to regain control of some of Bob's music recorded before 1978. But more recently, the estate (ie-- Bob's surviving family) prevailed in a lawsuit brought by former members of the Wailers who claimed that their oral contracts and rights as participants in Bob's recordings had been violated by the family/estate after Bob's death.

Re: [Videolib] Fascinating Copyright situation
The anime example is regarded as true. Companies did not release anime in US and a thriving (and passionate) audience traded dupes, fansubs and fandubs at conventions and online until their number could not be ignored, and it is now a $4 billion industry. Not everyone steals everything always. When did the legitimate release of anime begin in the U.S. market? We were offered some anime titles in 1992 but were too tredpidatious (ie-- chicken) to offer them to our public library market because of concerns about cartoon character nudity. But regardless of when anime was released on the American market, the situation Roger describes--fans trading recordings among themselves--also grew up in pop music with the Deadheads more or less leading the way. But early hip-hop recordings were distributed the same way as well as Black Metal, jam band, and other one-time non-mainstream genres. Not everyone steals everything always, but just about anything popular that's not nailed down will be stolen. What this story really foretells, with music rights further fragmented away from music labels, is the final nail in their coffin. They can't even release remastered greatest hits anymore. Crap.

Re: [Videolib] And now for something completely different...
It used to be that LCSH tended to be framed in scientific terminology whenever possible. Meanwhile kiddie subject headings (formerly A.C. headings) tended to be in natural language, which sets up the frequent complaint about Swine in LCSH but Pigs in juvie headings, but now the trend is to put LCSH in vernacular terms, a particularly timely approach now that we've alienated most patrons and steered them to keyword searching rather than trying to decipher the LCSH. And changes are being made much more quickly now, with obtuse terms and inverted headings being weeded out. This will be my last posting to this list about purely cataloging matters.

Re: [Videolib] media cataloging question
We use the 1995.9 also and it does present a problem in that so many titles have very similar call numbers, making shelving a challenge. However, they are grouped somewhat sensibly. Musicals are together, foreign films, comedies. What other PN number would they use? PN1997 and PN1997.2, then Cuttered for title. PN1997 and PN1997.2 are nominally the LC classification for scripts, but some collections class the films or the video manifestations of the films there. The advantage is that the cataloger doesn't have to split hairs as to which genre a title belongs to when multiple genres apply, and although the Cutters can run pretty long in a robust collection, everything is in alphabetical order.

Re: [Videolib] prioritizing media cataloging
What do I think? I think I'd be in the office of the Head of Technical Services quicker than you can say MARC delimited. Since when do catalogers get to call the shots about the parts of the collection that deserve priority access (or that get sent to bibliographic Siberia)? Since when is bibliographic difficulty a measure of what gets cataloged? Besides: I'd wager a very large portion of your acquisitions have copy in one form or another...what's the big deal. Even the FMG digital stuff probably has at least passable OCLC copy. You need to kick ass, girl! To borrow a line from Big Audio Dynamite, God I love it when you're domineering! I'm afraid that there are several institutions in which the catalogers get a say in, if not exactly calling the shots for, what gets cataloged and in what order. And bibliographic difficulty, at least where video materials are concerned is a valid concern if not exactly an example of the service ethic expected of professionals. Time equals money and a lot of cataloging operations are constantly under the gun for spending too much time/money on selected items. Cataloging video material materials can be, depending on the library's technical requirements for fullness of records, very time-consuming, generally much moreso than books. However, if the Tech Services Dept. will (or is allowed to) countenance less-than-comprehensive records for some materials in the catalog, doing brief records can save time while still creating access in the catalog. As to OCLC copy, in my experience records for video materials need a lot more checking and tweaking if your cataloging standards are set as high as a lot of academic libraries like to set them. Verifying name authority, for instance, for films can take a lot longer than doing so for books just because of the number of contributors likely to be traced. If comprehensive name authority is not a necessity, however (and it's not in OCLC), tracings may become a simple matter of typing. Maureen, I'd enjoy hearing how you come out on this.

The second film is a collection of explicit pornographic films produced by women for women, which is being promoted as feminist porn. For reference, one of my interns saw it in a theater in Paris and it comes with a manifesto, which you may read below. I have included descriptions of both as before we acquire I would like to know how many of you would potentially purchase explicit films for your collection. I believe these films are relevant to Women's Studies, LGBT and Film Studies, and are not 'just' pornography, although both qualify based on the content. Would the explicit content preclude you from purchasing? Please let me know your thoughts. Film #1 Unlike the abolitionist feminist movement, the pro-sex feminist movement, which began in the United States during the 1980s, asserts that representations of the body and of pleasure are areas that must be taken over by women and sexual minorities and that pornography must not be subject to control by the patriarchal state. It also calls for the legalization of sex work; female sex workers, porn actresses, strip teasers and lesbians have begun to speak out and to talk about themselves, generating a new culture that includes articles, books, films, documentaries, music, comics, artistic performances, etc. Made up of about 20 interviews filmed in the United States, France and Spain, the documentary gives the floor to pro-sex activists and follows the evolution of the movement from the 80s to the present, from its pioneers and its successors to its proactive activists in France and Barcelona. It also reveals previously unknown images directly tied to the subject (excerpts from films produced by activists, updates on their activities, archives of their works, performances and street demonstrations, etc.) Whether it's referred to as Pro Sex, Post Porn or queer, the movement is a creative and revolutionary one that calls on us to reflect on what a pornographic image is, what sex work is, what gender is, and what the whole point of feminism is. Disturbing, provocative and innovative, the film aims to play a saving role as it splits from popular discourse, which would have it that sex is best practiced in the bedroom, that women's dignity depends on their 'good' behaviour and passivity, that the only feminist themes to be debated are gender violence and the wearing of headscarves. ... allows us to see that activists are already occupying other playing fields, inventing other ways of having sex and of thinking of sexuality and gender. Interviewees: NORMA JEAN ALMODOVAR, MARIA BEATTY, LYNNEE BREEDLOVE, CATHERINE BREILLAT, SIOBHAN BROOKS, SONDRA GOODWIN, SCARLOT HARLOT, MARIA LLOPIS, LYDIA LUNCH, POST OP, BEATRIZ PRECIADO, CAROL QUEEN, QUIMERA ROSA, B.

The individual films are highly diverse in content, although many of them feature humour and different forms of queer sex. The creative decisions were based on a manifesto with the aim to create pornography that is non-commercial and follows feminist ideals. The idea for creating the project emerged after Engberg and some of her friends had made Come Together for the Stockholm International Film Festival. It was a short film where each participants filmed themselves with mobile phone cameras while masturbating. Come Together received a large amount of negative commentary, primarily from men, who complained about the actor-photographers being unattractive. To Engberg, this was proof that pornographic films demanded that their female participants should be seen as pleasing to its primarily male audience.[1] Manifesto 1. Beautiful the way we are To hell with the sick beauty ideals! Deep self-hatred keeps a lot of women's energy and creativity sapped. The energy that could be focused into exploring our own sexuality and power is being drained off into diets and cosmetics. Don't let the commercial powers control your needs and desires. 2.
