Sample+Records

Records are shown here as they will be saved on local KOHA system. The records include the two elements of MARC record customisation, at fields 690 – //Local Subject Access// and 852 – //Location.// Customisation will be added after the records have been downloaded to the local LMS. The first two items here are a non-fiction Biography. The last four records are fiction, and are recorded under the genres of Romance, Adventure, Science Fiction and Personal Struggle, respectively. One of the weaknesses of this record is in the ambiguity of the publication dates of the volumes of the item. Although the item is called "The complete Maus", the title does not fully convey the information that "My father bleeds history" and "Here my troubles began" are two components of a whole published separately. The 505 Contents fields solves this problem somewhat by listing the original publishing information - which shows that the different parts were published at different dates - and identifying the volumes as "Maus" and "Maus II". The strengths of the record are in the amount of specific, additional information given - informing the user at a glance that the item is an illustrated biography on the theme of war and the Holocaust.
