The CIP Data Block New layout? p. 37

Proposed layout with labels Cataloging in Publication Data Block in the 21 st Century p. 38

Proposed layout with labels: Comments § “Easier to read with the additional spaces. ” § “Has a modern look and the style may adapt to changing technology overall. However, Names should be changed to Attribution or Creators, Description to Title and drop the second reference to the authors if their affiliations are dropped. ” § “I don't really care about the format. I would input the data using MARC fields in any case, so it really doesn't matter. I would need to sort the data into the relevant tags. Just give us the data, and lots of it, and make it accurate. ” § “Too spread out; readability studies will show that less will be read in this case. Too many labels, and labels are too technical. ” § “Like the look, but we don't like the label "description" for the title field. ” § “Description is not going to mean "title" to the general public. That's confusing. Otherwise, okay” Cataloging in Publication Data Block in the 21 st Century p. 39

Combine Print + Electronic CIP data? : comments § “Only one CIP data block should be acceptable for both formats. Combined CIP data blocks could emphasize/advertise the fact that there are 2 formats available for that title. ” § “Yes, but there is way too much detail in the examples shown!” § “Yes one CIP with both forms of info is enough. We can figure it out. ” § “I don't see a reason to have separate records when most of the data is the same. ” § “Some ebooks contain additional content or less content than the print version - not sure they can have the same record. “ § “This format is slightly confusing to decipher. ” § “We are still figuring out how to display our e-book records so not sure on this. . ” Cataloging in Publication Data Block in the 21 st Century p. 42

Survey comments § § § § “I like the use of MESH headings and NLM call number in the CIP data. Many librarians use only a few fields in their library records, not the whole MARC record, so keeping it simple is best. Thank you for allowing us to give input into the process. ” “When cataloging for my small school library I look first for the CIP and am always happy to find it there. ” “I think the information in CIP's are critical to small libraries that may not have a trained librarian to do the cataloging. Changes are good to make it more update but I am REALLY glad it is not being "done away with". ” “Thank you for asking for input from the library community about the CIP data block. I use if often to get simple knowledge about a book without having to look it up in the computer. I would hate to see it go! Thank you for what you do. ” “We at Library and Archives Canada have also thought that the current style of CIP datablock is out-moded and could be improved. We would very much appreciate knowing the results of this survey. ” “I don't catalog very many books, but I frequently refer to the CIP data when I do catalog. ” “Please continue to provide this information. I like that you are trying to streamline the information and include more info. ” “I think it is a good idea to start looking at changing things for the new data. ” Cataloging in Publication Data Block in the 21 st Century p. 43
