`Circulation
`
`Barcode Number
`
`The 14-digit number appearing beneath the barcode found in the beginning or end papers of a book.
`Barcode numbers for Cornell library books begin with the numbers "3 1924" and are used to record
`checking out, returning, and renewing library books and other items (DVDs, etc.).
`
`BorrowDirect
`
`A direct interlibrary borrowing service for books only. Cornellians can borrow a book (no periodical
`articles) from any Ivy League library, the University of Chicago, and MIT. BorrowDirect is normally faster
`than a recall, taking about four business days.
`
`Circulation Desk
`
`A service desk where books and other materials are loaned or charged out to library users. Library
`materials which do not circulate (reference books and some periodicals, for example) can be used
`within the library.
`
`Hold
`
`A library user may place a hold on a book charged out to another person; this ensures that the person
`placing the hold will be next in line to receive the book when the book is returned.
`
`Interlibrary Loan Services
`
`Interlibrary lending and borrowing services (ILL or ILS) provide access to materials (journal, newspaper,
`or magazine articles; books (see also BorrowDirect, above); video; dissertations, etc.) that cannot be
`found in the Cornell system. To borrow such materials, use our ILL software. Questions? Check with a
`reference librarian.
`
`Recall
`
`Library users may place recalls on books charged out to other people. The people to whom the
`materials are charged are notified by email that another library user wants the book. Recalled books
`must be returned within a short period of time, usually a week. Requesting a book on BorrowDirect is
`usually faster than requesting a recall.
`
`Renewal
`
`An extension of the loan period for charged library materials. Renewals may be handled in person at
`the circulation desk, by phone, or by clicking on the Patron Info button in Cornell Library's Catalog.
`
`Reserve Reading
`
`A selection of specific books, periodical articles, videotapes, and other materials which faculty have
`indicated that students must read or view for a particular course. These materials are usually kept
`together in one area of the library and circulate for a short period of time only. Or they are available
`online as e-Reserve documents. To locate reserve materials, you may use the course reserve module
`in the Library's web site, ask at the circulation or reserve desk, or look up a title in your reserve
`reading list in Cornell Library's Catalog.
`
`Reference
`
`Abstract
`
`A one-paragraph description, often written by the author(s), at the beginning of a journal article or other
`document. Compare with Annotation.

`
`Annotation, Annotated Bibliography
`
`An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is
`followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The
`purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources
`cited. For guidance, see How to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography.
`
`Bibliography
`
`A bibliography is a list of citations for books, periodical articles, articles in books, theses, and other
`materials. Published bibliographies on specific subjects are often found at the end of articles and
`entries in reference books. The presence of a bibliography is one of the signs of a work of scholarship
`as opposed to a popular work, for example.
`
`Citation
`
`Information which fully identifies a publication: a complete citation usually includes author, title, name of
`journal (if the citation is to an article) or publisher and place of publication (if to a book), and date. Often
`pages, volume numbers, and other information are included in a citation. Citations to online sources
`may contain URLs.
`
`Periodical Indexes, Abstracts, and Databases
`
`Periodical indexes are searchable databases of articles which have appeared in journals, magazines,
`or newspapers. They cite the author, title, name of periodical, volume, pages and date of publication.
`They often include abstracts--brief summaries of the content of the article--and links to the full text of
`the article online. Examples include MLA Bibliography, BIOSIS, and EconLit. These online database
`are available in the in the Databases section of the Library's web site and also through records in our
`Catalog. Some specialized indexes that are not online are available in the library's reference
`collections in print.
`
`Reference
`
`A department within a library where you can find librarians, reference assistants, and a collection of
`reference materials to help you with your research needs. Help is available in person at the
`reference desks, by e-mail, by phone, and on chat reference.
`
`Reference Assistant
`
`Reference assistants are not professional librarians, but they are trained to help you with many of your
`research needs. Some reference departments employ reference assistants to help answer reference
`questions and provide general information about the library.
`
`Reference Collection
`
`A selection of online, CD-ROM, and printed library materials used by reference librarians and reference
`assistants to help people find information or to do research. Reference collections contain many
`sources of information, such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, almanacs, directories, or statistical
`compilations. They may also have bibliographies, indexes, and abstracts. Printed reference materials
`usually do not leave the library. A selection of online reference materials is available in the Databases
`section of the Library web site.
`
`Reference Librarian
`
`Reference librarians are specialists in the field of information retrieval. Generally they have a Masters
`degree in library and information science, and many have other graduate degrees as well. They are
`available at reference desks, via e-mail, chat, and on the phone to help you find the information you are
`looking for.

`Locating Materials
`
`Call Numbers
`
`Each item in a library collection is classified in a subject area by assigning it a call number. These call
`numbers are placed on the spine of the book or bound journal. These books or bound journals are
`shelved by these call numbers in the stacks. The call numbers are entered in the records in the Cornell
`Library Catalog so you can locate the book on the shelf. At Cornell we use Library of Congress call
`numbers, a combination of letters and numbers (e.g., PQ 1756 .I15 1990).
`
`Card Catalog
`
`Card catalogs are pieces of furniture containing drawers filled with cards that provide information about
`materials in the collection. At Cornell, card catalogs have been replaced by the online Catalog (below).
`
`Cornell's Library Catalog
`
`Cornell has an online catalog of the library's holdings and resources. This is sometimes referred to as
`the new catalog or Blacklight catalog. These catalogs contain the same set of records for the books,
`serials, media, manuscripts and many the other items in the collections of the Cornell University Library.
`Another, much larger catalog, WorldCat, contains the holdings of other libraries around the U.S. and
`the world in addition to Cornell's holdings.
`
`Cross Reference
`
`A term used in catalogs, thesauruses, reference books, and indexes to lead you from one form of entry
`to another (e.g., American poets see Poets--American).
`
`Ebooks
`Ebooks or electronic books are digitized versions of books available online. More information about
`ebooks.
`
`Ejournals
`
`Ejournals are digitized versions of journal articles available online. You can search or browse a list of
`our ejournals from the Library's home page. To search, click here E-Journal Titles or on the link below
`the search box on the CUL home page.
`
`Library web site
`
`An online site that provides access to a large number of library resources (databases, journals, and
`reference materials, for example), library services, and information about the Cornell University Library.
`
`Stacks
`
`The stacks are the part of the library which houses the physical collection. Books, periodicals, and disks
`(CD-ROMs, DVDs) are arranged on shelves in the stacks.
`
`Subject Headings
`
`Words or phrases assigned to books and articles and used to index these items by topic. Determining
`the subject headings and descriptors used by a specific database or catalog can be an important part
`of effective research. See also Thesaurus.
`
`Thesaurus
`
`A list of all the subject headings or descriptors used in a particular database, catalog, or index. The
`thesaurus for our Catalog is called Library of Congress Subject Headings.

`Kinds of Materials
`
`Media
`
`Films, tapes, disks and other audio-visual materials that require the use of special listening or viewing
`equipment.
`
`Microforms
`
`Documents, often ones that are bulky or liable to deteriorate rapidly, which have been photographed
`and reduced in size to preserve them and to reduce the storage space required. Common formats for
`microforms are microfilm, microfiche, and microcard (micro-opaque). College catalogs, telephone
`books, newspapers, magazines, and government documents are available in microform formats in
`many Cornell libraries.
`
`Monographs

`Publications which are issued at least twice a year, including journals, magazines, and newspapers.
`Current periodicals are those which have recently arrived and are usually kept in loose binders, or on
`open shelves. Bound periodicals are back issues which have been sent to the bindery, covered with a
`binding, and placed in the stacks. Records for periodical titles may be labeled as serials in our Catalog.
`Many periodicals are available through the Library web site. They are generally called electronic
`journals or e-journals. See also the next entry, Serials.
`
`Serials
`
`Publications that appear more or less regularly--daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, or biennally,
`for example. Newspapers, journals, magazines, and almanacs are all examples of serials.
`
`Database Terms: Online Indexes and Catalogs

`Entry
`See Record (below)
`
`Field
`
`A part of a record used for a particular category of data. For instance, the title (ti) field displays the title
`for each record in the database. Some of the other fields names are author (au), journal (jn) and
`abstract (ab). Our Catalog contains additional fields that give the description, call number, location,
`holdings, and circulation status of an item at Cornell.
`
`Holdings
`
`A set of fields in the Catalog in serial (newspaper, journal, or magazine) records that shows exactly
`which years and volumes of that serial are available at Cornell. Records for multi-volume books also
`contain a holdings field.
`
`Keyword Searching
`
`Searching for the occurrence of a word within or across many fields in a database. The All Fields
`search in our Catalog is based on keyword searching.
`
`Menu
`
`Choices and commands that are displayed on the screen and can be selected by the user.
`
`Operators
`
`Words such as AND, OR, and NOT that are used to combine search terms to broaden or narrow the
`results of a keyword search. Combining terms using operators is sometimes called Boolean searching.
`
`Record
`
`A collection of related data, arranged in fields and treated as a unit. The data for each article in an
`online database makes up a record. The complete information for each item in our Catalog is also a
`record.
