Overview

A tool for classifiying MARC records according to format/form/genre/type, just using our own custom vocabulary for those things.

used by the marc_formats macro, but you can also use it directly for a bit more control.

Instance Method Details

#formats(options = {}) ⇒ Object

A very opinionated method that just kind of jams together all the possible format/genre/types into one array of 1 to N elements.

If no other values are present, the default value "Other" will be used.

See also individual methods which you can use you seperate into different facets or do other custom things.

#genreObject

Returns 1 or more values in an array from: Book; Journal/Newspaper; Musical Score; Map/Globe; Non-musical Recording; Musical Recording Image; Software/Data; Video/Film

Uses leader byte 6, leader byte 7, and 007 byte 0.

Gets actual labels from marc_genre_leader and marc_genre_007 translation maps, so you can customize labels if you want.

end

#microform?Boolean

if field 007 byte 0 is 'h', that's microform. But many of our microform don't have that. If leader byte 6 is 'h', that's an obsolete way of saying microform. And finally, if GMD is

#online?Boolean

We use marc 007 to determine if this represents an online resource. But sometimes resort to 245$h GMD too.

  # have found it.
  return (normalized_gmd.start_with? "[electronic resource]") && ! record.find {|f| f.tag == '007' && f.value.slice(0) == "c"}
end

#print?Boolean

Algorithm with help from Chris Case.

  • If it has any RDA 338, then it's print if it has a value of volume, sheet, or card.
  • If it does not have an RDA 338, it's print if and only if it has no 245$h GMD.

  • Here at JH, for legacy reasons we also choose to not call it print if it's already been marked audio, but we do that in a different method.

Note that any record that has neither a 245 nor a 338rda is going to be marked print

This algorithm is definitely going to get some things wrong in both directions, with real world data. But seems to be good enough.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
