Access to Basque Sound Recordings: A Unique Minimal Level Cataloging Project

Abstract

It is important for catalogers to be able to streamline methods of cataloging linguistically-unique titles in their library’s collection of resources. One such group of items at the University of Nevada, Reno that needed to be cataloged included several hundred Basque sound recordings. It is also important to have local cataloging procedures that are readily available, accessible, current and understandable. By combining a new local procedure along with minimal level cataloging, the result was a streamlined and innovative cataloging project that resulted in bibliographic access to an unusual collection of Basque sound recordings.
