Attributes & Relationships

Wire recordings
Cylinders (wax or shellac)
Mini-discs

Getting Started
When to input a new record
•
•
•
•
•
Different sound format (CD vs. LP)
Different year of publication
Different publisher name
Different content (more or less selections)
Different edition statements
DO NOT input a new record
• Packaging is new, but content remains the
same.
• Distribution dates differ.
• A new date is listed for the packaging
• Absence or presence of a publisher number
• Absence or presence of multiple publishers,
distributors, etc. as long as one on the
resource matches one on the record
Look at the resource
• A sound recording doesn’t have a title page,
so you’ll need to look at everything that
comes with or on the item.
• Search the OCLC database.
– Number searches, such as UPC or publisher
number can be the most efficient
– Name-title search, qualified by format and date
• If you can’t find a match, it’s time for a new
record!
