Shab, sheet music collection project, 1/23/2015

Today I cataloged 70 more cards of drawer 6 of the sheet music collection.  Jeanette, could you please look at the card associated with row 139 (I've highlighted the whole row in red) - the information on this card was very unusual and all over the place.  I did my best but there were several pieces of information which I didn't know where they would go, if they go anywhere at all.  Otherwise, no particularly new questions came up.  I am confused occasionally about where certain pieces of information go if they're not in the field where they normally belong; for example, row 149: the card says it's "transcribed for cello and piano by..." etc.  I'm not sure if all that needs to be in the title field and whether or not it goes there, if that information should be elsewhere too (like the note field?)  It is another statement of responsibility piece of information (I think?) because the transcriber's name is given but there's no field on the spreadsheet for a transcriber.  Jeanette, please let me know your thoughts on this so I can fix it if need be.  Thanks!

  1. Hi Shab,

    I added some information to 139 that we can discuss. Also, remember that in the Leader column you don't need to put the brackets around the date. Row 149 is fine.

    Thanks,
