Introduction
HST understands the significant impact high quality, compliant MARC records have on the successful
integration of electronic resources into the research & library infrastructure. Accordingly,
HST has invested considerable resources in the development of top notch, standards-compliant records,
working with King's College London Bibliographic Services department. The process
of uploading the records should be simple and straightforward, taking no longer than two hours to complete. The explanatory information
below should help answer some frequently asked questions.
Format & sampling of HST audio visual presentations
Q: Do you classify your audio visual presentations as equivalent to e-journals or should we see
them as a database? It would be very helpful if I could try out a talk, since I don't know
whether they are pod casts or video casts or what format they are.
A: Our electronic resource should be seen as a collection of online audio-visual seminar style talks.
Once you have viewed a talk & observed its format, you will appreciate how well it fits in with your other material.

Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection: http://hstalks.com/r/blsc/free
Marketing & Management Collection: http://hstalks.com/r/mmc/free
Catalogue updates: frequency & modus operandi
HST adds roughly one new series (containing between 10 and 20 talks) to each collection every month. In addition, new talks may be added to
a previously-released incomplete series. Files of MARC records for new talks are issued quarterly, together with updated comprehensive files
which contain records for the complete collections (including all new talks).
New customers should upload the most recent comprehensive file. From then on, they should import the quarterly update files of new records as
they become available.

Record format
The records have been compiled to comply with AACR2 and MARC21 and to follow the guide Best Practices for Cataloging Streaming Media prepared by the OLAC Cataloging Policy Committee Streaming Media Best Practices Task Force http://www.olacinc.org/drupal/capc_files/streamingmedia.pdf
Personal names have been matched to the Library of Congress Authorities whenever possible.
The records are supplied with UTF-8 encoding. To translate to MARC-8 you may download
& install MarcEdit
Subject Headings
The Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection: records contain National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Headings (MeSH); and Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) for some series.
The Marketing & Management Collection: records contain Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH).
Significant features include:
The Leader position 6 has been coded 'g' 'Projected medium'.
The records contain Physical Description control fields (007) for Electronic resource and for Videorecording.
Details of the file format have been included in field 300.
Detailed Contents field supports keyword searching.
Series coding:
The Marketing & Management Collection: series headings are coded 830 with a series statement taken from the sub-series title in field 490.
The Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection: in earlier releases of the records, series headings were coded 440. All the records have now been updated so that the headings are coded 830 with a series statement taken from the sub-series title in field 490.
URLS for talks & series
Q: Does each talk & series have its own URL?
A: Yes, each talk & series has its own URL, as detailed in our MARC catalogue containing talk records.
Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection:
Sample talk URL: http://hstalks.com/lib.php?t=HST8.1001_1_2
Sample series URL: http://hstalks.com/lib.php?t=HST8
Marketing & Management Collection:
Sample talk URL: http://hstalks.com/lib.php?t=HST63.2018
Sample series URL: http://hstalks.com/lib.php?t=HST63
You may find it helpful to review how one of our clients has integrated the
HST records into their library catalogue: http://library.kcl.ac.uk/ALEPH/-/start/kings.
If you search for: "apoptosis" or "direct marketing", most records listed with "[electronic resource]" are from the HST collection.
Number of series, talks, speakers, editors etc.
Q: It would be very useful to know the number of different authors (speakers, editors etc) in
each of the collections.
Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection:
A: As of April 2012, the collection had 74 series. A series usually has a single editor,
however there are series that have more than one editor. Since we add approximately one new
series each month, the number of series editors increases by one or two each month.
As of April 2012, the collection had 1487 talks. A talk usually has one speaker, however there
are talks with more than one speaker. Since we add approximately one series per month, and each
series contains roughly 20 talks, the number of speakers correspondingly increases by 20 or so a month.
Marketing & Management Collection:
A: As of April 2012, the collection had 57 series. A series usually has a single editor, however
there are series that have more than one editor. Since we add approximately one new series each month,
the number of series editors increases by one or two each month.
As of April 2012, the collection had 656 talks. A talk usually has one speaker, however there are talks
with more than one speaker. Since we add approximately one series per month, and each series contains
roughly 10 talks, the number of speakers correspondingly increases by 10 or so a month.
ISSN/ISBN
Q: Do these series have any ISSN or ISBNs?
A: To date, the series do not have ISSN/ISBN, however this issue is under consideration.
Standard authority files & OCLC compliance
As of Oct-08, HST's MARC catalogue uses standard authority files & headings
and an initial cursory evaluation by OCLC indicates a positive evaluation of
quality & compliance.
The MARC catalogue has been created by the ISS Bibliographic Services department at
King's College London. King's College London is a governing member of OCLC and has
sought to create records which meet OCLC requirements.

HST welcomes all comments and/or suggestions on how to make the HST MARC records as useful
as possible to you, your faculty & students.
