Criteria for an item to be processed as CJK
"Cataloging Service Bulletin" no. 57, p.37-38 provides guidelines for determining materials cataloged as CJK. "Input a [new] record ... if the language is a JACKPHY language and most of at least two of the following are in nonroman script regardless of the language of the script:"
- 245 (Title and statement of responsibility area)
- 250 (Edition area)
- 260 (Publication, distribution, etc., area)
- 4xx (Series area)"
What to do if you have a CJK book in hand
- For Departmental Libraries
Search in OCLC WorldCat. If full copy is found with an 066 field, subfield c $1, import the record and catalog the item in Voyager. Do not strip the 066 nor 880 fields from CJK records. If no usable record is found, send the item to Olin Library receiving unit for processing. If the item already has a Voyager record, print out the record to accompany the book before distributing for CJK processing. - For Olin LTS Staff
If an item is discovered to be CJK on receipt, or a CJK item is received as a gift, the item should be processed by CJK receiving staff. If the item already has a Voyager record, send a printout to accompany the book before distributing to CJK staff.
CJK information in OCLC Connexion
- Logon to OCLC
- Navigate to the HELP menu
- Click on Client help, then International Cataloging
- Choose Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) scripts.
Create CJK record in Voyager
- Search in WorldCat. If exact match is found, pass record to Voyager.
- Use the CJK template in Voyager to create a new bib record.
Record -> New -> Bibliographic ->Double click on CJK.TEM
Receiving
- If the item has a fastcattable record in Voyager, complete the processing.
- If the item requires further searching, search in WorldCat and import new record to Voyager as appropriate.
- If no matching record is found, update the existing Voyager record according to Receiving guidelines.
Cataloging
CUL's database of record is Voyager. If the master record in OCLC WorldCat is not a COO record, leave master record intact. We may contribute to it by correcting obvious access point errors/typos, but we should not change the record to suit our local preferences, e.g. printing date vs. edition date in monographs; more than one publication company in serials. Such local adjustments should be made in Voyager.
Handling CJK records in Voyager Cataloging:
- Fastcatting: the 066 field subfield c $1 and the 880 fields are the essential fields in a CJK record, under no circumstance should we remove these fields from a CJK record.
- Copy cataloging: If a record contains an OCLC control number, but the cataloging media was not in English, do not use the record for CUL cataloging, give the item to a CJK cataloger to create a new record. Guidelines for identifying a record that was not cataloged in English:
- Field 040 contains a code for language of cataloging in subfield b (e.g. chi, jpn, kor)
- Field 300 are in CJK languages
- Non-quoted notes in 5xx fields are in CJK languages
- The GMD in the 245 subfield h are in CJK languages
- Please consult OCLC: Navigate to Help, then Tutorial, then search OCLC tutorial for Bibliographic Formats and Standards, in Chapter 3, “Special Cataloging Guidelines.
Maintenance of CJK records
All copy and volume information is updated in Voyager only. Corrections will be made to the OCLC master record only when it was created by Cornell (040 $a COO $c COO).
