Today I cataloged 68 more cards of drawer 5 of the sheet music collection project. Most of the questions I have I've asked before (caption title, etc.) I'm now starting to see cards, usually the foreign language ones, where there's what looks like another title(??) in brackets above the regular title in its field; Jeanette, if you need to, please remind me to show you a sample card next week. I'm not sure what to do about this because it's confusing to have both the title and this information printed in that way on the same card. (The card for row 1150 is like that, I believe, and that entire card is full of confusing bits of information, so I've highlighted it in red). I'm also wondering if an arranger is mentioned such as "arranged by so and so" (row 1159 for example) or if the word "arranger" is mentioned next to the name on the card, should that name be in the arranger's column/field on the spreadsheet instead of the composer's field or the 246/"words by..." field? Jeanette, please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks!
Hi Shab,
ReplyDeleteWe decided to ignore the information in brackets if it's the same as the title. Yes, if there is an arranger please add their name to the arranger column; however, I don't see an arranger on the card for row 1159.
Thanks,
