`
`6.
`
`I earned a Master of Science in Electrical & Computer Engineering in
`
`2005 and a Master of Library & Information Science (MLIS) from the
`
`University of Pittsburgh in 2009. I have over six years of experience in the
`
`library and information science field.
`
`7.
`
`I have served as a Councilor-at-Large for the American Library
`
`Association (ALA) and Member Services Director for ALA’s New Members
`
`Roundtable. In 2012, I was named an ALA Emerging Leader. I have taught
`
`a graduate course for the University of Maryland’s College of Information
`
`Studies and given guest lectures to graduate students in library and
`
`information science at other schools; I also have given presentations to
`
`librarian and technologist audiences at the state, national, and international
`
`level.
`
`II.
`
`LIBRARY CATALOGING USING MARC
`
`8.
`
`In general, libraries make purchases of newly published books
`
`throughout the year as the books are published, and libraries then catalog
`
`and shelve the books as soon thereafter as possible in order to make the
`
`books available to their patrons.
`
` Thus, books are typically generally
`
`available at libraries across the country within just a few days of publication
`
`and arrival in the library.
`
`9.
`
`I am fully familiar with a library cataloging standard known as the
`
`“Machine Readable Cataloging” standard, also known as “MARC,” which is
`! 3
`
`
`
`
`
`TCL 1004, Page 4
`
`

`

`Sheldon-Hess Decl.
`
`
`
`Inter Partes Review of 8,309,375

`
`an industry-wide standard method of organizing library catalog information.
`
`MARC was first developed in the 1960s by the Library of Congress. A
`
`MARC-compatible library is one that has a catalog consisting of individual
`
`MARC records for each of its items.
`
` Today, MARC is the primary
`
`communication protocol for the transfer and storage of bibliographic
`
`metadata in libraries.
`
`10. When an Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) participating
`
`institution acquires a work, it creates a MARC record for this work in its
`
`computer catalog system, and the computer catalog system automatically
`
`supplies the date of creation. The MARC record creation date reflects the
`
`date on or shortly after the item was first acquired and catalogued by the
`
`library that creates the MARC record. Once the MARC record is created by
`
`a cataloger at an OCLC participating member institution, it is uploaded to
`
`OCLC, making that record instantaneously available to any OCLC
`
`participating members, and therefore available to the public.
`
`11. A MARC record comprises several fields, each of which contains
`
`specific data about the work. Each field is identified by a standardized,
`
`unique, three-digit code corresponding to the type of data that follows. I
`
`summarize a few of the pertinent fields below:
`
`
`
`
`! 4
`
`
`TCL 1004, Page 5
`
`

`

`Sheldon-Hess Decl.
`
`
`
`Inter Partes Review of 8,309,375

`
`a.
`
`Field 001 (“Control Number”). Contains the control number
`
`assigned by the organization creating, using, or distributing the
`
`record;
`
`b.
`
`Field 245 (“Title Statement”). Information describing the title
`
`of the work is recorded in field 245;
`
`c.
`
`Field 246 (“Variant Title”). Variations for the title appear in
`
`field 246;
`
`d.
`
`Field 100 (“Author”). The primary author of the work is
`
`recorded in field 100;
`
`e.
`
`Field 008 (“General Information”). This field comprises the
`
`date the MARC entry was entered on file and the date on which
`
`the MARC entry would have been searchable by other fields of
`
`the MARC record (e.g., Title, Author, General subject matter).
`
`Specifically, the date of creation is identified in the first six
`
`characters, in the format YYMMDD;
`
`f.
`
`Field 020 (“International Standard Serial Number”). A
`
`work’s International Standard Book Number (“ISBN”) is
`
`recorded in field 020;
`
`g.
`
`Field 050 (“Library of Congress Call Number”). An item’s
`
`call number assigned by the Library of Congress is recorded in
`
`
`
`
`field 050;

`TCL 1004, Page 6
`
`

`

`Sheldon-Hess Decl.
`
`
`
`Inter Partes Review of 8,309,375

`
`h.
`
`Field 260 (Bibliographic data). Information such as the place
`
`of publication, name of the publisher, and the copyright year is
`
`recorded in field 260;
`
`i.
`
`Field 040 (“Cataloging Source”). The library that created the
`
`record is recorded in field 040 in subfield “a” with a unique
`
`library code. MARC field 040 contains the OCLC symbols of
`1
`
`institutions transcribing, creating, and modifying the record. For
`
`example, the OCLC symbol for the Library of Congress is
`
`“DLC.” Notably, this field may identify more than one
`
`institution; and
`
`j.
`
`Field 650 (“Topical Subjects”). This field includes the general
`
`subject matter of the work, and terms that would generally be
`
`used to search for and locate the subject of the work.
`
`12.
`
`The OCLC was created “to establish, maintain and operate a
`
`computerized library network and to promote the evolution of library use, of
`
`libraries themselves, and of librarianship, and to provide processes and
`

` For more information about MARC field 040, please refer to http://
`
`www.ocic.orgibibformats/en/0xx/040.html.
`
` The symbol in subfield “a”
`
`corresponds to the symbol for the institution inputting the original record. For a list
`
`of OCLC symbols and their corresponding institutions, please refer to http://

`
`products for the benefit of library users and libraries, including such
`
`objectives as increasing availability of library resources to individual library
`
`patrons and reducing the rate of rise of library per-unit costs, all for the
`
`fundamental public purpose of furthering ease of access to and use of the
`
`ever-expanding body of worldwide scientific, literary and educational
`
`knowledge and information.” 2
`
`13. Among other services, OCLC and its members are responsible for
`
`maintaining the WorldCat database (http://www.worldcat.org/), used by
`
`independent and institutional libraries throughout the world. OCLC is the
`
`international cooperative into which libraries catalog records and others pay
`
`to access MARC records. MARC records that are contributed to the OCLC
`
`database are accessible by any OCLC member institution (and the patrons of
`
`those member institutions). OCLC’s WorldCat database is publicly available
`
`and searchable.
`
`14. OCLC also provides its members online access to MARC records
`
`through its OCLC Connexion database. When an OCLC member institution
`
`acquires a work, it creates a MARC record for this work in its computer
`
`catalog system in the ordinary course of its business. MARC records created

`
`at the Library of Congress are tape-loaded into the OCLC database through a
`
`subscription to MARC Distribution Services daily or weekly. Once the
`
`MARC record is created by a cataloger at an OCLC member institution or is
`
`tape-loaded from the Library of Congress, the MARC record is then made
`
`available to any other OCLC members online, and the underlying work is
`
`thereby made available to the public. For example, once a MARC record
`
`has been entered, that work is indexed and searchable by author (Field 100),
`
`title (Fields 245 and 246), and general subject matter (Field 650) worldwide
`
`by members. A member of the public could, therefore, locate the work via
`
`OCLC WorldCat, and the owning library would typically make that work
`
`available on request.
`
`15. When any OCLC member institution (such as the Library of
`
`Congress) creates a new MARC record, the cataloging software
`
`automatically supplies the date of creation for that MARC record in the first
`
`six characters of field 008. The MARC record creation date reflects the date
`
`on which, or shortly after which, the item was first cataloged. Initially, field
`
`008 of the MARC record is automatically populated with the date of creation
`
`in year, month, day format (YYMMDD) (some of the newer library catalog
`
`systems also include hour, minute, second (HHMMSS)). Notably, the date
`
`represented in this field is system-supplied, and cannot generally be changed
`
`after the MARC entry is created.
