2.1. Objectives : By reading this module, definitely you would have a clear cut idea and general view of \cataloguing practical of various types of special materials & that of electronic resources. Also you will understand the physical descriptions of such materials which significantly differs from one another. The nature of access point varies substantially depending on the type of special materials. Appropriate punctuations have also been cited for demarcation of each item of new information. Suitable examples have been given for better learning.

 

Keywords : Statement of responsibility, filmstrip, microfisch, micro card, remote access & local

access.

 

2.2.        Introduction :

 

The products need to have sufficient knowledge about the various rules and guidelines how to describe the items of information to be incorporated in an entry as needed by the students and to satisfy the approach of the users searching the materials on common and popular “Access point”. Besides this module will help them to catalogue such materials when appointed in Doordarshan, AIR, Software companies, Museums, Geological survey of India, Map libraries, Manuscript library, Electronic library etc. effectively. The information about such type of special materials and its main entry have been prepared.

 

2.3.        E-text/ Main content :

 

Cataloguing practical of each type of special materials as enumerated above have been discussed with illustrative examples.

Local Access :    It is understood to mean that a physical carrier can be described. Such a carrier (e.g disk /disc, cassette, catridge) must be inserted by the user into a computer or into a peripheral attached to a computer.

 

 

Remote Access : It is understood to mean that no physical carrier can be handled by the user -typically access can only be provided by use of an input-output device (e.g a terminal) either connected to a computer system or by use of resources stored in a hard disc or other storage device.
