Appendix A: Multi-level Description

Multi-level description is one of a number of choices for the bibliographic description of parts. Solely as an illustration of the various choices resulting in descriptions on a single level, see the following examples:

  • certain descriptions showing as the title proper the title common to the parts, with the titles of individual parts given in a contents note (cf. 7.7);

  • certain descriptions showing as the title proper the title of each individual part, with the title common to the parts given in the series area (cf. 6.1.5);

  • certain descriptions showing as the title proper a combination of (a) the title common to the parts and (b) the title of each individual part (cf. 1.1.2.7);

  • certain descriptions showing component part analysis (cf. the IFLA Guidelines for the Application of the ISBDs to the Description of Component Parts).

Multi-level description is based on the division of descriptive information into two or more levels. The first level contains information common to the whole or main item. The second and subsequent levels contain information relating to the individual separable unit. The process is carried out for as many levels as are required to describe fully the item and its units.

At each level the elements of the description are given in the same order and with the same punctuation as for unitary items. Some elements may be recorded at more than one level. When the title of a unit of an item is preceded by a number or unit designation, the two statements are separated by a colon, space (: ).

In ISBD(ER) the applications of multi-level description are:

  • The description of physically separate units of a multi-part item.
    e.g.

    Partners In Speech, cop. 1994- . - electronic disks : sd. ; 9-14 cm.

    Vol. 2: Suprasegmentals / by Mary Loftus. - cop. 1995. - 2 electronic disks ; 9 cm +
    user manual (104 p. ; 23 cm)

  • The description of physically separate items supplementary to, or accompanying, another item (see 5.4.4 and 7.7).
    e.g.

Alternatively, the whole item may be described on a single level, with the individual volumes given in the contents note.
e.g.

Appendix B: Bi-directional Records

Bi-directional records are multi-script records in scripts written from left to right and scripts written from right to left.

Unless the direction of the script changes within an element, each change of script begins on a new line of description at the appropriate margin. Prescribed punctuation is given at the start of the new element in the style required by the script, except for the prescribed point, comma or semi-colon which are given at the end of the previous element in the style required by the script (see also 0.4). Thus the point of the point, space, dash, space (. - ) ends the previous element and the dash begins the following element on a new line at the appropriate margin.

e.g.
Kuwait business statistics [Electronic resource]

     				          ._______ _____ _______ =

- Kuwait City : Dar al Nasher, cop. 1996.

(English data recorded first) 




          		 		     _______ _____ _______

Database program An application program that manipulates and manages the storage and retrieval of data, which is structured as fields, records, and files.
Desktop publishing program

An application program that provides for combining text and graphics to create documents (e.g. newsletters, reports.) Disk

Document A resource consisting of mostly text data created in the computer with the use of an application program (e.g. letters, articles, reports).
Electronic resource Material (data and/or program(s)) encoded for manipulation by computer. Includes materials that require the use of a peripheral (e.g. a CD-ROM player) attached to a computer, and online service(s) (e.g. bulletin boards, discussion groups/lists, World Wide Web sites).

Representational data A resource consisting of the representation of the structure of an object (e.g. the surface of the earth that has been digitised for computer storage and retrieval).
Retrieval program A system program used to seek the location of data, to search and select specific data of interest, and to view and explore data (e.g. a browser, search engine).
Sound data A resource consisting of mostly actual sounds produced by the computer (e.g. digitally sampled sounds, which require specialized hardware to convert the digital sound to analog).
Survey data

A resource consisting of mostly numeric data that is the result of the comprehensive study or examination of a subject, field or area of interest.System program
