The purpose of this paper is to offer additional help to cataloguers for more uniform and higher quality cataloguing of textual component parts, and at the same time to gather information about where cataloguers can get informed about novelties and changes in the cataloguing of textual component parts. When cataloguing component parts, several standards are used together with the guidelines or recommendations of the ISBD(CP) (component parts). The selection of highlights was made on the basis of evaluations of 50 randomly selected records (twice a year), evaluations of test bases of candidates for obtaining the B1 license for mutual cataloguing of component parts, questions that cataloguers address to the National Bibliographic Center and the long-term experience of editors of records for component parts for Slovenian Bibliography.

Contribution to the Research on Bibliographic Activity Development in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1955-2001)

Džejla Khattab, Lejla Hajdarpašić, Senada Dizdar

    In Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1945, the Decree on Mandatory Delivery of Printed Matters in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Decree on the National Library of Federal Bosnia and Herzegovina were passed, which laid the legal foundations for creating a Bibliography of Bosniaca. Later in B&H, following the foundation of the B&H Library Association in 1955, the first B&H librarianship journal, the Bulletin of the B&H Library Association and the National Library of the People’s Republic of B&H was launched, where the journal was first renamed to Librarianship: Journal of the B&H Library Association and then to Librarianship: Yearbook of the B&H Library Association.

    Urška Zupančič, Marija Petek

      Authority control is an important part of cataloguing. The Slovene CONOR.SI authority file including authority records for individual and corporate authors, enables among others identification of authors. The purpose of the research was to find out cataloguers’ opinions on its usefulness, its advantages and disadvantages, and how creating authority records for corporate authors was practised. The survey was conducted as an online questionnaire and interview, 73 cataloguers from academic libraries participated. The results showed that the majority of surveyed cataloguers were satisfied with CONOR.SI.

      RDA in the Fifth Information Age: entity, identity, authority

      Gordon Dunsire

        The Fifth Information Age is characterised by the ubiquitous recording of social transactions in an explosion of persistent cultural memory. A person who contributes to social media is an agent who creates digital cultural artefacts. The internet of things, of personal devices for the capture, creation, transmission, and output of information means everyone is potentially an author, a publisher, a distributor, with a profound impact on traditional methods of authority control. The focus of authority control is shifting from the provision of a unique label for an individual person or group to the description of an individual as an instance of a class, as an entity.

          Perspectives for the future development of authority data in the COBISS system

          Andreja Krajnc Vobovnik

            By introducing the IFLA Library Reference Model, the significance of authority control is constantly increasing as authority data will play a key role in the linked data network. Consequently, the preparation of authority data will help when implementing IFLA LRM and will prove useful during the transition to RDA (Resource Description and Access). The overview of authority data situation in the COBISS.net system with the focus on the Slovenian COBISS.SI system is presented.

                This article presents the current state of bibliographic transition in France, the approach and the organization that were applied to make library catalogues compatible with semantic web technologies and bibliographic data on the web. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to move to entity-based cataloguing built on the IFLA LRM model.

                LRM implementation: conceptual design of a cataloging user interface

                Mihela Pauman Budanović, Maja Žumer

                  Changes in the conceptualization of bibliographic data caused by the introduction of the IFLA LRM model have strongly influenced the development and reorganization of cataloging principles and rules, bibliographic formats, and bibliographic information systems. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of both guidance and practices in LRM implementation to show how all the components should be applied consistently in cataloging systems, which we have tried to address by proposing a conceptual design for a cataloging user interface based on the LRM model.
