Descriptive Cataloging Guide (Rev.3)
The system of bibliographic control of the nuclear science literature presently used by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) is computer based and provides a variety of products. The main products are the printed issues of Nuclear Science Abstracts (7VSA) and its cumulated indexes. A special feature of the system is that the descriptive cataloging, or bibliographic citation, is in most cases keyboarded only once. This keyboarding provides multipart forms that are used for further processing of the document being cataloged, coded paper tape that is used as input to a computer, and clean camera-ready copy of the citation. This guide provides rules for the descriptive catalogers of AEC’s Division of Technical Information Extension (DTIE). These rules enable the catalogers to follow consistently established bibliographic conventions of descriptive cataloging and to code the information accurately so that it can be manipulated in the computer for the production of indexes and for later retrieval. It is also the purpose of the guide to acquaint others with the cataloging practices of the AEC. Users and potential users of the AEC’s printed and machine-readable services will find the guide helpful in interpreting these services.
