An interesting post on some of the limitations of Dublin Core. Read this article.
Do not miss to read the comments, particularly from Andy Powell.

Are librarians obsolete?

Recently I came across to read the following interesting article. Hurray! We, the librarians, have some good news to cherish.

Are librarians obsolete?

Title with Author's Name

Ashwini asked this question over email:
The title of the book is "Howkins & Bourne Shaw's textbook of gynaecology". Full title we have to enter in the title statement or only textbook of gynaecology.

After a bit of searching in AARCR2R, I answered like this:
Good question.
I will quote AACR2R rule 1.1B2. "If the title proper includes a statement of responsibility or the name of a publisher, distributor, etc., and the statement or name is an integral part of the title proper (i.e., connected by a case ending or other grammatical construction), transcribe it as part of the title proper"

Going by the above rule the title of the book should be recorded/written as "Howkins & Bourne Shaw's textbook of gynaecology".

Think of an analogy: "Dewey Decimal Classification" where Dewey is the name of the author. We record the title as "Dewey Decimal Classification".
