- W229829652 abstract "Introduction Much has been written about the ongoing struggle to identify, implement, and maintain meaningful production standards for catalogers. (1) This paper presents the methodology used to create production standards for the Area Studies Cataloging Section (ASCS) of the Indiana University Libraries in Bloomington, Indiana. The process grew out of temporary production expectations used in a nine-month Backlog Reduction Project in the Cataloging Division, of which the ASCS is a part. When the project concluded, the section discussed permanent standards for itself. Environment Librarians and high-level support staff responsible for the cataloging of non-Western language monographs collected by the Indiana University Libraries Bloomington Campus comprise the ASCS. This campus has programs in a wide range of non-Western languages, including East Asian (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, also known as CJK), Slavic and East European (i.e., Russian, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Hungarian, Estonian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Latvian, Romanian, Albanian, and Greek), Middle Eastern (i.e., Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish), other Asian languages (i.e., Mongolian, Uzbek, Kazakh, Georgian, Armenian, Tibetan, Nepali, Hindi, Sanskrit, and Thai), and African (i.e., Amharic, Hausa, Bantu, Swahili, and Twi). Although staffing has fluctuated in this section over time, typical of technical services units around the country, eleven staff members basically make up the section. There is one staff member for each of the East Asian languages of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, although the librarian responsible for Korean is also the CJK serials cataloger. The Slavic and East European languages have two support staff members and two librarians, although one of the librarians manages the section, and the other also coordinates the NACO/PCC (Name Authority Cooperative Program of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging) for the Technical Services Department. Two support staff members and one librarian cover the Middle Eastern languages. One of the support staff members spends a lot of time on computer support for the department, while the other also catalogs the monographs in African languages. The librarian works only 25%FTE (Full Time Equivalent) in cataloging. Our eleventh support staff member catalogs the Tibetan, Sanskrit, Hindi, and several of the Asian languages of the former Soviet Union and also helps out with the cataloging of Russian. Each cataloger specializes in a language or language group that (s)he has studied or knows natively, but many must also catalog unfamiliar languages with the aid of dictionaries and grammars. The Backlog Reduction Project In the fall of 2001, the Cataloging Division as a whole faced a sizable backlog problem. Some of the ASCS backlogs had traditionally been large, but all of the backlogs in the division had grown over the previous year for a number of reasons. For two and a half months at the end of 2000, all cataloging in the university system stopped when the Indiana University Libraries switched their online library catalog from NOTIS to SIRSI Unicorn. Once the new system became available, catalogers took a while to adjust to the new online system, with work proceeding slowly at first. Within a few months after the implementation of the new system, cataloging of new materials again halted for several months so that retrospective conversion could be completed. Over the course of this period, various units in the division also undertook other smaller projects. By mid-year 2001, most of the units in the Cataloging Division faced backlogs larger than the norm, with the ASCS being no exception. The Area Studies backlog totaled approximately 6,500 monographs. Many of the materials for which the ASCS is responsible are in languages that do not normally grow cataloging copy over time, so they require original cataloging no matter how long they linger in a backlog. …" @default.
