Dreaming in MARC21
April 2nd, 2004
I woke briefly last night with the strangest series of thoughts. I emerged from a dream desperately wanting to change my weblog tagline to a MARC21 field: 504 |a Includes bibliographical references. Then, I thought that it was too bad that I did not have a real index, so that I could use the phrase “Includes bibliographical references and index”. I had just started composing a 510 field with an appropriate citation format from Standard Citation Forms for Published Bibliographies and Catalogs Used in Rare Book Cataloging when I drifted back to sleep.Two solid weeks of creating records for 16th century Belgian imprints is clearly having an effect on my brain. Fortunately, I have not perfected the practice of sleep-blogging…at least, not yet.

“504 |a Includes bibliographical references” is SUCH a cool blog title, and it totally works for your site. I think you should listen to you subconscious.
