Target: Cataloging for the curriculum

[Catherine Murphy <Murphy@LIS.ADMIN.UNT.EDU>]

I have been following the discussion about cataloging and I agree with all
those in favor of knowing how to do it in order to (1) buy good quality
catalog records and (2) maintain the automated system and edit the
database as needed and (3) actually catalog if needed. (In Texas, a
course in cataloging is required for school library media specialist
certification.)  I hope some of you will respond to me directly regarding
the following question about cataloging for the curriculum.  I will post a hit
if there is sufficient interest.

Do you follow recent USMARC guidelines for curriculum enhanced
records?

    658 - curriculum objective, standard
    521 - target audience notes (reading grade and interest levels, learner
                  characteristics, motivation level)
    520 - review, summary

Any comments,suggestions?
