Data Entry in MARC Format as per AACR-2 Rule

Dear All,

For any library professional who deals with document cataloguing, it is always challenge to do proper cataloguing in order to enable appropriate and proper searching based on available data entered or maintained. Sometimes, professional finds difficult when he/she comes across different kind of books such as single author, two authors, three authors, more than three authors, editor, corporate author, meeting name and so on.
As a result, if professional is not through with rules, may commit mistake in cataloguing as well as in data entry.

Keeping that in view, I prepared on document for proper data entry in MARC format based on AACR-2 Rule. This documents covers almost all possible cases we generally come across in our library. It also describes the minimum MARC fields required for any document to do the data entry.

This PDF document can be downloaded at http://www.dptripathi.in/download/marc.pdf

I have also developed an Android Application which can be installed on any Android Supported Smartphone.

This app can be downloaded at www.dptripathi.in/download/marc21.apk

It includes the full details about MARC (Source: www.loc.gov)

Hope this will be useful for the professionals and profession.

Your suggestion and feedback for further improvement is most welcome.

Thanks

Thanks Sri D.P. Tripathi.

It is a very useful handy tool.

However, I have just one question. what should be the actual card size if you want to have a printed card (for shelf list purpose)? I am asking because you have mentioned that the second indention should be 12th, type space broad while you have allocated 7.5. cm space for it while  standard size of a Catalogue card is roughly 12X08 cm.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray

Good evening sir,
I truly hatsoff to your sincere effort for making it so simple to understand by every one and I must congratulate you for making a successful Android application for handy information of marc details. sir I am very much interested in creating an Android app and I did not find any free source to create and publish app. so, if you don't mind can you please suggest and provide me the procedure of creating and publishing an Android app like you and I will be very thankful to you for the above.

yours sincerely,

G Rajasekhar
