- Description
- It is the intent of National Library of Medicine (NLM) to procure on a sole source basis from OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Dublin Ohio to provide professional services for: a) searching an outside bibliographic source (i.e., the OCLC WorldCAT) a minimum of 275 titles and a maximum of 375 titles in the Japanese language and returning uncataloged to NLM those for which copy is found; and b) providing original limited cataloging records for 275-375 Japanese language monographs and multipart items, including the corresponding information in the vernacular. NLM intends to procure bibliographic assistance from OCLC for the period of one year, with options for two (2) successive one-year periods. The initial period of performance is anticipated to begin on or about June 16, 2003. The services will include applying the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd Edition, 2002 revision, (AACR2), ALA-LC Romanization Tables (published in 1991 by the Library of Congress), and the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations (LCRIs) to descriptive cataloging and verification of name/series access points in the online authority file available via OCLC; assigning NLM Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) descriptors and assigning class numbers to each monograph using the NLM Classification or the Library of Congress classification schemes. The work also involves application of transliteration rules, following the ALA-LC Romanization Tables, published in 1991 by the Library of Congress and the provision of the corresponding bibliographic information in the vernacular language (i.e. in Japanese language script). OCLC Online Computer Library Center in Dublin, Ohio offers a trained library professional staff, with an in-depth knowledge of cataloging applying AACR2 and the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations (LCRIs), and experience in a wide variety of foreign languages including Japanese. The staff is also knowledgeable in the application of the ALA-LC Romanization Tables and knowledgeable in using the necessary computer software to supply the Japanese vernacular. The staff also have experience in cataloging biomedical materials, including experience in using MeSH and the NLM Classification. OCLC is the only known source of cataloging of Japanese language materials and providing cataloging data to NLM in MARC 21 format in the necessary timeframe. The proposed acquisition will be procured under FAR Part 13 - Simplified Acquisitions. This is not a Request for Quotations (RFQ), nor is an RFQ available, however, all responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered by the NLM. Firms interested in responding to this notice must be able to provide service as specified above. Responses must be in writing and must be received in this office within fifteen (15) calendar days from publication date of this notice, and must include pricing information and meet the criteria requirement. Inquires regarding this procurement may be made to the National Library of Medicine, Office of Acquisitions Management, 8600 Rockville Pike, Building 38A, Room B1N20, Bethesda, Maryland 20894, Attention: Uyen H. Phuong, Lead Purchasing Agent, on (301) 496-6127. Fax requests WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
