Cataloging and Circulating Kindles Mary-Frances Panettiere and Karen Glover
What we have and why • GT Purchased 5 Kindles for circulating to add to a robust gadget collection. • Used to supplement popular reading.
The Ideal Cataloging View: Circulation View: Each title should be fully searchable and displayable, but EVERY title on a specific Kindle must show a checked out status when the single machine is checked out. Each Kindle, as an object, should also be fully searchable and displayable, with each title associated listed as well as the availability.
The machines themselves:“Bag and Tag” • Each physical Kindle will have its own catalog BIB, MFHD and ITEM record (including barcode). • The call numbers will be “gadget” numbers consistent with other technology for circulation. • They will have their own item type with associated circulation policy.
Adding Titles to the Kindles The Goal: Each title should be fully searchable and displayable, but EVERY title on a specific Kindle must show a checked out status when the single machine is checked out
The “Bound with” Technique Use it as each individual title is cataloged and added to a Kindle
However… • Do NOT create Holdings (MFHDs) or Items for the title records! • Instead, with the title’s BIB still open, open the Kindle’s BIB, MFHD and ITEM
Open the ITEM record attached to the record for the Kindle machine where the title will be stored
Go to the Record pull-downChoose Link to bibliographic…Enter the BIB number of the book record
Now the BIB ID for the individual title record will display as an 014 on the Kindle Holdings Record • Repeat for each Kindle that that one title is on • Repeat also for each title on any Kindle
Find a book’s title in VuFind • See the status of each Kindle it is on
Here is the same type of data in the GIL catalog for a different title
