ABSTRACT
Rules and guidelines are provided for ERIC catalogers
and editors engaged in capturing bibliographic data
for the documents
and journal articles entered into the ERIC database. A
general
discussion of the principles of ERIC cataloging, definitions
used,
use of mandatory vs. optional data elements, etc. is provided
in the
Introduction. The body part of the section is organized
alphabetically by the keyword of 24 data elements:
Abstract/Annotation; ERIC Accession Number; Audience;
Author;
Availability (Other Than EDRS); Clearinghouse Accession
Number;
Contract/Gramt Number; Descriptors;
Geographic Source; Government
Status; Identifiers; Institution; Issue (of
Abstract Journal);
Journal Citation; Language; Level of Availability
(at EDRS); Note;
Pagination; Publication Date; EDRS Price Code;
Publication Type;
Report Number; Sponsoring Agency; and Title. Within
each data element
the material is organized by:
(1) Profile--displaying the
name of the
element, the keyword used in entering the data
element, files
("Resources in Education" and "Current Index
to Journals in
Education") in which the data element
appears, mandatory/optional
status, ERIC component supplying the data, character
set (alphabetic,
numeric, and spec;,al used), subfields, field lellgth,
and field ID
number on the ERIC magnetic tape);
(2) Typical Entry; (3)
Text--including rules and guidelines,
relationship to other fields,
any authority lists;
(4) Summary of Significant Rules;
and (5)
Examples. Several of the data elements have associated
authority
lists (country names, language names, publication
types, etc.). Three
attachments are included: (1) Obsolete/Discontinued
Fields (a 3-page
description); (2) Cataloging Specific
Types of Documents; and (3)
CENDI/COSATI Guidelines for "Organization
Names" (extracted from its
"Guidelines for Descriptive Cataloging of Reports").
