Shab, sheet music collection project, 8/29/2014

Today I cataloged 55 more cards of drawer 5 of the sheet music collection project.  There were a couple of foreign language cards (rows 471-472) that were confusing to figure out if you want to review them and make sure everything is correct (I highlighted the particular fields I'm uncertain about).  I also have questions about rows 459 (field I'm not sure about highlighted in red) and 466 (highlighted in red - whether information about who did the original and revised versions of the music should go in the "words and music by" field or the note field).  Otherwise, most everything was routine.  

today I have cataloged Files MS 150 and MS 151 (Juv. Non-Fiction files. Total titles cataloged = 49 titles.

Today I managed to catalog 56 more cards of drawer 5 of the sheet music collection project.  I have no particular major issues to ask about this week though I am now starting to wonder if it's okay to put multiple notes in the note field (a "recorded by" and a note about soundtrack, like row 354, cell Q).  I'm assuming this is the correct way to do it unless I'm told otherwise so please let me know what you think.  Thanks.

Shab, sheet music collection project, 8/15/2014

Today I managed to catalog 40 more cards of drawer 5 of the sheet music collection project.  No major problems, except for having to move something from the publisher field to the place field since I didn't realize till today that it's the name of a township in Pennsylvania.  I've corrected all instances of it here (Bryn Mawr, PA is the name) but my previous spreadsheets for drawers 3 and 4 might have the same mistake on them.  Otherwise, nothing particularly new.  I vaguely recall asking this before but I'm wondering if a printing agreement (for example row 358, highlighted in yellow) still belongs in the publisher field or a note field?  To me it reads more like a note than something that would go in the publisher field but that's just me.  Jeanette, please feel free to let me know your thoughts on this and thanks for your help!

Shab, sheet music collection project, 8/8/2014

Today I cataloged 55 more cards of drawer 5 of the sheet music collection project.  No particular new issues arose, although I'm still not sure where information [in the publisher field] about rights reserved and rights controlled and the distributor still belong in the publisher field or elsewhere.  The other minor issue I was wondering about is if there's a title broken up by punctuation (example: Hush! Little mother), would the word after the punctuation mark be capitalized or not?  Please let me know if you have any thoughts.  Thanks.

Shab, sheet music collection project, 8/01/2014

Today I cataloged 75 more cards of drawer 5 of the sheet music collection project.  Most everything was routine; however, one thing has occurred to me: sometimes the title field has a note in it, something like "from such and such play".  I've been putting the note in the note field and trying to remember if I ever put it in the title field before these types of notes were so commonplace (because I didn't realize they wouldn't be in the title field when I first started cataloging the cards).  I'll go back and check this spreadsheet and my previous ones and see if I did that so I can correct them by moving them to the note field [if I wrongly put them in the title field].  Otherwise, there's nothing new to report.
