Working on Assignment 2 this week has been a delight thus far. I'm enjoying my topic Fairy Tales and Fractured Fairy Tales. I did a unit on this topic at the end of last year and can't wait to do it agin with my class this year. I hope that I've picked a diverse enough collection. I have DVD's, picture books, teacher resources, and websites. I hope that by Wednesday everything comes together in a nice little package.
Week 7 Posting CIP and MARC Records
I used the VPL to look at the MARC records for my three
books. The three books that I chose were
off of my book shelf and I will be using them in assignment three. The three books are Peter Pan and Wendy,
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Jack and the Beanstalk.
Peter Pan and Wendy by J.M. Barrie the Centenary Edition is
the first book that I compared with the MARC records and fount hem to be quite comparable. One thing that was missing from the MARC
record that was found in the CIP inside the book was that all proceeds of the
book went to Great Ormand Street Hospital.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is the
second book that I compared and like Pete Pan the records compared well, which
is to be expected since they are from the same publishers and the same
information is found in the CIP page of the book. I’m finding that more
information could be given in the CIP documentation as the MARC records seem to
have more data on them.
The last book that I looked at this week was Jack and the
Beanstalk retold by Ann Keay Beneduce.
The only difference I found between the MARC record and the CIP record
was the CIP had all of the different publication companies and cities while the
MARC only stated New York and Philomel Books.
I can see the difficulties of placing all of the different publication
citied and companies in a database record but should they not all be listed?
