Of possible interest. From: SACO Cataloging Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Berthoud, Heidy I Sent: Monday, February 17, 2025 12:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SACOLIST] SACO Shorts: Alphabetize it (common problem)
When proposing new or changed headings, you may include used for terms (UFs); broader terms (BTs); and related terms (RTs). All of these terms should be alphabetized within their group. UFs are in 4XX fields and are listed first. Example Cyrene (Extinct city) 451 $a Cirene (Extinct city) 451 $w nne $a Cyrene (Ancient city) 451 $a Kyrene (Extinct city) 451 $a Shīrīnī (Extinct city) BTs are in 5XX fields with $w g and should be grouped together and alphabetized next. If you have a mix of MARC tags, you should alphabetize the BTs rather than keeping the tags in numerical order. Examples Cyrene (Extinct city) 451 $a Cirene (Extinct city) 451 $w nne $a Cyrene (Ancient city) 451 $a Kyrene (Extinct city) 451 $a Shīrīnī (Extinct city) 550 $w g $a Extinct cities $z Libya 551 $w g $a Libya $x Antiquities Monnikerede (Extinct city) 551 $w g $a Belgium $x Antiquities 550 $w g $a Extinct cities $z Belgium If you have RTs in your record, they should be alphabetized as a group after any BTs. RTs are also in 5XX fields, but do not have a $w. Example Social stability 450 $a Stability, Social 550 $w g $a Social history 550 $w g $a Sociology 550 $a Progress If you forget to alphabetize, PTCP will make those corrections for you during our review. However, when you remember to alphabetize, it makes our work easier! To read more about alphabetization rules in subject proposals, please see H 200 Preparation of Subject Heading Proposals<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeSHM/H0200.pdf__;!!IBzWLUs!VOk-LCRA4MOwOFwFPPPfnoSFTxQpMtxt3GNOiv5_OG4FYQwDydNRBGHMUdp80h12yNPjcbyk0roBXC_kfCk$>. SACO Shorts are quick tips that cover common proposal problems or frequently asked questions. SACO Shorts are published on the first and third Mondays of the month.
