Directions for cataloging the gdams ngag mdzod:

We will catalog the Shechen edition of the gdams ngag mdzod by creating a page for each text in the list here using the Gdams ngag mdzod cataloging stub, thus populating this category: Gdams ngag mdzod Catalog. For these directions I have cataloged the first text of the Shechen edition of the gdams ngag mdzod, Wylie:Sgyu 'phrul drwa ba'i lam rnam par bshad pa chung ngu, which can be used as a template for the rest of the cataloging work.

Directions:
From the Table of Contents for the whole gdams ngag mdzod, select the volume you are working on. Look at the next Tibetan title of the text to be cataloged. You will need to link the Wylie title as well as create a Tibetan script link. FIRST check the title in the text itself by finding the text in the PDF for the volume in question and check it against the title given on the wiki page. Use the spelling given at the beginning of the text itself. You do not need to keep the bzhugs so" in the title you link on this page. Link the title by adding two brackets around the Wylie. Then type out the Tibetan script title above it, following the example of other texts. Make sure there are double brackets around the Tibetan script as well and then save the page. If the title does not make a red link, but remains black, you will need to try to find a shorter title. Check the spelling given in the dkar chag at the beginning of the PDF and see if there is a shortened title given. If there is, use that for both the Tibetan script title on this volume page AND for the Wylie beneath it. The fact that the title comes from the dkar chag must be noted in the cataloging data in the page created from the Wylie title. Note the information given under "Short Title" in this example text: Wylie:Man ngag lta ba'i phreng ba'i tshig don gyi 'grel zin mdor bsdus pa zab don pad tshal 'byed pa'i nyi 'od. Check with Marcus if the title refuses to link properly. Open the new red link for the Wylie title in a new tab and paste the stub into it. For the Tibetan script title, you can wait until you have finished cataloging the text to use the དཔེ་ཆ་ stub and create the Tibetan script page. Next you will begin cataloging the text by filling in the stub. Use the example below as a guide.

• Using the PDFs from TBRC for the gdams ngag mdzod, catalog each text.
  • At first it will probably be easier to enter the Cataloging data first, beginning with the titles, then add the rest of the information in the page. As you go you will find the fastest way on your own.

Example: the first full text listed in the TBRC Outline of the gdams ngag mdzod is listed online as sgyu 'phrul drwa ba'i lam rnam par bshad pa chung ngu. The actual title page of the Shechen edition has three lines of text, one in Lantsa, one in Sanskrit transliterated into Tibetan script and one standard Tibetan title in dbu chen script:

File:Title page of gdams ngag mdzod-W20877.jpg

Here are the other images you would need to complete such an example text:

File:Page 3 from first text of gdams ngag mdzod Volume 1.jpg
This one tells us what is on side A of most of the pecha pages.
File:Page 4 from first text of the gdams ngag mdzod Volume 1.jpg
This one tells us what is on side B of most of the pecha pages as well as the normal number of lines per page (7).
File:Last page from first text of the gdams ngag mdzod Volume 1.jpg
This is the last page and provides us with the information for finishing page and line and also contains a little colophon which we type in and from which we get author information.

For this entry we would write:

===Cataloging data===

Title Page (ཁ་ཤོག་): This is the title given on the actual "Title page" for the text, if there is no real separate title page, write "No title page." If there is a title page, you will describe it line by line. It will be fastest if you write out the titles in Wylie first and use the conversion tool to create the Tibetan script. For Lantsa, simply write, "Lantsa title". Pay close attention to the format using the colons to indent lines as necessary. Remember to record any and all lines on the title page as precisely as possible using extended Wylie transliteration.

Left side print: - This is for whatever is printed vertically on the left side of the pecha page. Type whatever appears here, in Tibetan and Wylie. If blank, type "blank".

Right side print: - This is for whatever is printed vertically on the right side of the pecha page. Type whatever appears here, in Tibetan and Wylie, or if only a number appears, type the number. If blank, type "blank" where you would normally write the Tibetan script. You can then leave the area for Wylie entirely blank.

First Page Title(s): This is for the title that may appear on the first full page of text (i.e., the actual beginning of the text). If there is no other title given in this area, simply write: "No title". If there is a title, give it in Sanskrit, Tibetan and Wylie for both as necessary.

Description of pages: This area is for a general description of what appears on most pages after the title page, which is always unique (often the first pecha page has less lines than all the rest).

• Side A: This is for the first side of a pecha page. The title page is 1a, the start of the text is 1b, etc.
  • Left: This is the Wylie of whatever is written on the left side of side A. In the example we have the Wylie written with "tibfolio#" entered where the Tibetan number appears. This stands for the "Tibetan folio number".
  • Right: note the use of # to indicate a Hindu-Arabic numeral as opposed to the tibfolio#

• Side B:
  • Left: This is the Wylie of whatever is written on the left side of side B
  • Right: note the use of # to indicate a Hindu-Arabic numeral as opposed to the tibfolio#

Volume #: 001 (ka) This is the volume # for the edition given in numerals and in Tibetan.

Text # in volume: Begin with two zeros before the number. 001. 010. This is for the number in the present volume the text appears in for the Shechen Edition. This number may be 04, but the 054th text in the whole edition.

Text # in edition: Start with three zeros before the number. 1 = 0001, 10 = 0010, 100 = 0100, 999 = 0999 This is for the number of the text in the whole Shechen edition.

Master text #: Start with three zeros before the number. 1 = 0001, 10 = 0010, 100 = 0100, 999 = 0999 This number will correlate with this specific text and will be matched with any edition. So if there are some texts missing from one edition that appear in another, they will be tallied as well so that the last "Master Text Number" accounts for all possible texts in the gdams ngag mdzod.

Begin-End Pages (Western): Simply put the numbers of the pages where the text begins and ends.

Begin Tibetan page and line #: 1b1 . The first number is the pecha page number, the letter is the side of the folio and the last number is the line number (usually 1-7). End Tibetan page and line #: 8a6 . The first number is the pecha page number, the letter is the side of the folio and the last number is the line number (usually 1-7).

Total # of pages (Western): The number of pages counts each side as 1.

Total # of pages (Tibetan): This is what the Tibetan says, almost always one half of the above "Western" number.

Number of lines per page: Usually printed at 7 lines per page, with the title page having 3 and the first two actual pages of the text having 5 lines each. Usually you will be able to simply copy this example: 7 (2 pages of 5, 1 page of 3)

Partial colophon in Tibetan: - Use <span class=TibetanUnicode16> </span> for this so it appears in a more legible manner. NOTE that it will be faster if you type the Wylie first and use the converter to turn it into Tibetan unicode font, then paste it back here.

Partial colophon in Wylie: Type out the ending colophon on the last page of the text here in Wylie. Look for the title to be repeated, which usually indicates the end of the text and the colophon. Sometimes the colophon will appear after this title, sometimes a little before. Or sometimes there will only be the title and nothing else.

Author: [[ ]] - give the author in Wylie as it is given in the text. Do not include the agentive particle or other indicators or verbs, just the name will do. If no author is listed simply write: none given.

Translator: [[ ]] - give the Translator(s) in Wylie as they are given in the text. Simply put a comma and add more names as necessary. Do not include the agentive particle or other indicators or verbs, just the name will do. If no translator is listed simply write: none given.

Scribe: [[ ]] - give the scribe(s) names(s) in Wylie as they are given in the text. Do not include the agentive particle or other indicators or verbs, just the name will do. If no scribe is listed simply write: none given.

People associated with this text: [[]], [[]], [[]]. give all the names listed in the colophon or who are known to be associated with this text. This information should match that given in the metadata above.

If some other important person is listed that you think is useful to single out, add them in the same format. For example, you could add '''Redactor: [[SOMENAMEINWYLIE]]'''
