Terminological Approach on MARC Based Qualification of Islamic Manuscripts

Abstract

The qualification of manuscripts requires only knowledge and the use of the terms specific to the source manuscript. There are some errors and omissions in domestic and external use of this terminology. These errors and deficiencies are obviously due to incorrect translation, lack of terminology regarding the field, and the fact that the tradition of Islamic knowledge production - transfer is unknown in our country. Erroneous and incomplete adaptations due to these reasons cause serious contradictions and problems in the characterization of our manuscripts, restrict access to works and prevent us from establishing a “national” standard in line with the international standards. As a result of the examination of the printed and electronic manuscript catalogues in our country. This study includes the Machine Readable Cataloguing (MARC) fields and the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) which have been used erroneously and incompletely. This practice generally tends to be found more in libraries that register in English. In order to overcome these mistakes and incomplete uses, the related domestic and foreign terminological sources have been examined and a series of suggestions for terminology have been presented. These recommendations are given in the order of MARC as the preferred upper data standard in the nature of the information sources, and the evidence /sources of correct use are listed after the conclusion of the study separately for each field.
