The object of study is framed by an understanding of analogic bibliographic record conversion to the Bibliograhpic MARC21 format, based on a syntactic and semantic analysis of records described according to descriptive metadata structure standards and content standards. The thesis in this research is that the syntactic and semantic principles of bibliographic records, defined by description and visualization cataloguing schemes, present in the descriptive metadata structure standards and content standards, determine the bibliographic record conversion process to the MARC21 Bibliographic Format.

Delimita-se o objeto de estudo pelo entendimento da conversão de registros bibliográficos analógicos para o formato MARC21 Bibliográfico, a partir da análise sintática e semântica de registros descritos segundo padrões de estrutura de metadados descritivos e padrões de conteúdo. A tese nesta pesquisa é a de que os princípios sintáticos e semânticos de registros bibliográficos, definidos pelos esquemas de descrição e de visualização na catalogação, presentes nos padrões de estrutura de metadados descritivos e nos padrões de conteúdo, determinam o processo de conversão de registros bibliográficos para o Formato MARC21 Bibliográfico. Em vista desse panorama, a proposição desta pesquisa é desenvolver um estudo teórico sobre a sintaxe e a semântica de registros bibliográficos, pelo viés da Linguística, com Saussure e Hjelmslev, que subsidiem a conversão de registros bibliográficos analógicos para o Formato MARC21 Bibliográfico em um interpretador computacional. Com esta proposta, estabelece-se, como objetivo geral, desenvolver um modelo teórico-conceitual de sintaxe e semântica em registros bibliográficos, a partir de estudos lingüísticos saussureanos e hjelmslevianos das manifestações da linguagem humana, que seja aplicável a um interpretador computacional voltado à conversão de registros bibliográficos ao formato MARC21 Bibliográfico. Para o alcance de tal objetivo recorre-se aos seguintes objetivos específicos, reunidos em dois grupos e voltados, respectivamente ao modelo teórico-conceitual da estrutura sintática e semântica de registros bibliográficos, e ao processo de conversão de seus registros: explicitar a relação entre a sintaxe e a semântica...

The purpose of this study is to determine if elementary school libraries in west central Florida provide diverse, inclusive collections of LGBTQAI+ material in a safe space, and, if they do, to ascertain the librarians' understanding of, and satisfaction with, how that material is cataloged and classified. I wanted to know whether the literature was easily located, or, conversely, if the library classification tools and practices either misrepresented non-normative students or failed to represent them at all, given the potential impacts on students' self-acceptance. To answer these questions, I surveyed 41 private, independent, and public librarians, 10 of whom volunteered for in-depth, semi-structured interviews. During the interviews, I explored how the librarians used lists, thesauri, tagging, ratings, and spine labels to supplement their catalog searches. As none of this work happens in a vacuum, I also examined the paradigm in which the librarians do their work. I approached this study as a humanist, through a feminist lens, using Queer Theory and Whiteness studies. I was not seeking a unitary truth but rather a thick description of each librarian's perspectives and decisions concerning their collection management and cataloging procedures, contextualized within their daily demands as school librarians and, in the case of the public school librarians, technology specialists. My research found a group of librarians dedicated to their work, each of whom approached the management of LGBTQAI+ literature from their own positionality, ranging from those who denied that elementary students needed this literature at all, to those who wanted to provide it but were restricted by time, budget, and parental and administration censorship, to those who boldly proclaimed "I'm not afraid."

The purpose of this study is to investigate if three scientific articles concerning the cataloguing of alba amicorum written in the 1980’s and early 1990’s had any influence on the cataloguing of alba amicorum. Another purpose is to investigate the similarities and differences between the catalogues from the late 1980’s and onward. The focus lies on the categories used when cataloguing the alba. Alba amicorum are catalogued on two levels: on a general level, i.e. the album as a whole is catalogued and in addition all the inscriptions in the album are cata-logued separately, the so-called leaf cataloguing. The study uses a comparative method. First the three scientific articles are compared with each other, then nine catalogues of alba amicorum from 1988 and onward, five printed and four online ones, are investigated regarding which categories are used respectively not used in the different catalogues. Then the categories pro-posed in the scientific articles are compared with the ones used in the catalogues. One result of the study is that the differences in the cataloguing on the general level between the printed catalogues are small but that the variation is larger amongst the online ones. The same patterns cannot be seen regarding the leaf cataloguing; here the variation between the catalogues is generally somewhat larger but the most central categories can be found in all catalogues. Another result is that some of the categories in the cata-logues reflect the printed or online form of the catalogue. The study shows that it is hard to define exactly which influence the scientific articles had on the catalogues but that it probably hasn’t been that large. Many of the categories occurring in the catalogues have been used when cataloguing alba amicorum since the early 1900’s. Maybe one could say that the alba themselves are con-stituted in such a way that it is more or less natural which categories should be used when cataloguing them. This is a two years master’s thesis in Archive, Library and Museum studies.
