`

`II. QUALIFICATIONS
`
`6.
`
`I am currently an Adjunct Professor in the School of Information at
`
`San José State University. I obtained a Masters of Library Science from the
`
`University of North Texas in 1972 and a Ph.D. in Library Science from the
`
`University of Pittsburgh in 1985. Over the last forty years, I have held various
`
`positions in the field of library and information resources. I was first employed as
`
`a librarian in 1966, and have been involved in the field of library sciences since,
`
`holding numerous positions.
`
`7.
`
`I am a member of the American Library Association (ALA) and its
`
`Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) Division, and I
`
`served on the Committee on Cataloging: Resource and Description (which wrote
`
`the new cataloging rules) and as the chair of the Committee for Education and
`
`Training of Catalogers and the Competencies and Education for a Career in
`
`Cataloging Interest Group. I also served as the Chair of the ALCTS Division’s
`
`Task Force on Competencies and Education for a Career in Cataloging.
`
`Additionally, I have served as the Chair for the ALA Office of Diversity’s
`
`Committee on Diversity.
`
`8.
`
`I have also given over one hundred presentations in the field,
`
`including several on library cataloging systems and Machine Readable Cataloging
`
`(“MARC”) standards. My current research interests include library cataloging
`

`L.P., U.S. Cellular Corporation. I have never testified at trial as an expert.
`
`III. LIBRARY CATALOGING PRACTICES
`10.
`I am fully familiar with the library cataloging standard known as the
`
`MARC standard, which is an industry-wide standard method of storing and
`
`organizing library catalog information.1 MARC was first developed in the 1960’s
`
`by the Library of Congress. A MARC-compatible library is one that has a catalog
`
`consisting of individual MARC records for each of its items. Today, MARC is the
`
`
`
`1 The full text of the standard is available from the Library of Congress at
`
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/.
`
`3

`
`

`

`primary communications protocol for the transfer and storage of bibliographic
`
`metadata in libraries.2
`
`11. A MARC record comprises several fields, each of which contains
`
`specific data about the work. Each field is identified by a standardized, unique,
`
`three-digit code corresponding to the type of data that follow. For example, a
`
`work’s title is recorded in field 245, the primary author of the work is recorded in
`
`field 100, an item’s International Standard Book Number (“ISBN”) is recorded in
`
`field 020, an item’s Library of Congress call number is recorded in field 050, and
`
`the publication date is recorded in field 260 under the subfield “c.” If a work is a
`
`periodical, then its publication frequency is recorded in field 310, and the
`
`
`
`2 Almost every major library in the world is MARC-compatible. See, e.g., MARC
`
`Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), LIBRARY OF CONGRESS,
`
`https://www.loc.gov/marc/faq.html (last visited December 28, 2015) (“MARC is
`
`the acronym for MAchine-Readable Cataloging. It defines a data format that
`
`emerged from a Library of Congress-led initiative that began nearly forty years
`
`ago. It provides the mechanism by which computers exchange, use, and interpret
`
`bibliographic information, and its data elements make up the foundation of most
`
`library catalogs used today.”). MARC is the ANSI/NISO Z39.2-1994 (reaffirmed
`
`2009) standard for Information Interchange Format.
`
`4
`
`WESTERN DIGITAL CORPORATION, EXHIBIT 1018
`Page 5 of 66
`
`

`

`publication dates (e.g., the first and last publication) are recorded in field 362,
`
`which is also referred to as the enumeration/chronology field.
`
`12. The library that created the record is recorded in field 040 in subfield
`
`“a” with a unique library code. When viewing the MARC record online via Online
`
`Computer Library Center’s (“OCLC”) Connexion database, hovering over this
`
`code with the mouse reveals the full name of the library. I used this method of
`
`“mousing over” the library codes in the OCLC database to identify the originating
`
`library for the MARC records discussed in this report. Where this “mouse over”
`
`option was not available, I consulted the Directory of OCLC Libraries in order to
`
`identify the institution that created the MARC record.3
`
`13. MARC records also include several fields that include subject matter
`
`classification information. An overview of MARC record fields is available
`
`through the Library of Congress at http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/. For
`
`example, 6XX fields are termed “Subject Access Fields.” See
`
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd6xx.html. Among these, for example, is
`
`the 650 field; this is the “Subject Added Entry – Topical Term” field. See
`
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd650.html. The 650 field is a “[s]ubject
`
`added entry in which the entry element is a topical term.” Id. These entries “are
`
`
`
`3 http://www.oclc.org/contacts/libraries.en.html.
`
`5
`
`WESTERN DIGITAL CORPORATION, EXHIBIT 1018
`Page 6 of 66
`
`

`

`assigned to a bibliographic record to provide access according to generally
`
`accepted thesaurus-building rules (e.g., Library of Congress Subject Headings
`
`(LCSH), Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)).” Id. Further, MARC records
`
`include call numbers, which themselves include a classification number. For
`
`example, the 050 field is the “Library of Congress Call Number.” See
`
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd050.html. A defined portion of the
`
`Library of Congress Call Number is the classification number, and “source of the
`
`classification number is Library of Congress Classification and the LC
`
`Classification-Additions and Changes.” Id. Thus, included in the 050 field is a
`
`subject matter classification. Each item in a library has a single classification
`
`number. A library selects a classification scheme (e.g., the Library of Congress
`
`Classification scheme just described or a similar scheme such as the Dewey
`
`Decimal Classification scheme) and uses it consistently. When the Library of
`
`Congress assigns the classification number, it appears as part of the 050 field. If a
`
`local library assigns the classification number, it appears in a 090 field. In either
`
`scenario, the MARC record includes a classification number that represents a
`
`subject matter classification.
`
`14.
`
`The OCLC was created “to establish, maintain and operate a
`
`computerized library network and to promote the evolution of library use, of
`
`libraries themselves, and of librarianship, and to provide processes and products
`
`6
`
`WESTERN DIGITAL CORPORATION, EXHIBIT 1018
`Page 7 of 66
`
`

`

`for the benefit of library users and libraries, including such objectives as increasing
`
`availability of library resources to individual library patrons and reducing the rate
`
`of rise of library per-unit costs, all for the fundamental public purpose of furthering
`
`ease of access to and use of the ever-expanding body of worldwide scientific,
`
`literary and educational knowledge and information.”4 Among other services,
`
`OCLC and its members are responsible for maintaining the WorldCat database
`
`(http://www.worldcat.org/), used by independent and institutional libraries
`
`throughout the world.
`
`15. OCLC also provides its members online access to MARC records
`
`through its OCLC Connexion database. When an OCLC member institution
`
`acquires a work, it creates a MARC record for this work in its computer catalog
`
`system in the ordinary course of its business. MARC records created at the Library
`
`of Congress are tape-loaded into the OCLC database through a subscription to
`
`MARC Distribution Services daily or weekly. Once the MARC record is created
`
`by a cataloger at an OCLC member institution or is tape-loaded from the Library
`
`of Congress, the MARC record is then made available to any other OCLC
`
`
`
`4 Third Article, Amended Articles of Incorporation of OCLC Online Computer
`
`Library Center, Incorporated (available at http://www.oclc.org/en-
`
`US/councils/documents/amended_articles.html).
`
`7
`
`WESTERN DIGITAL CORPORATION, EXHIBIT 1018
`Page 8 of 66
`
`

`

`members online, and therefore made available to the public. Accordingly, once the
`
`MARC record is created by a cataloger at an OCLC member institution or is tape-
`
`loaded from the Library of Congress or another library anywhere in the world, any
`
`publication corresponding to the MARC record has been cataloged and indexed
`
`according to its subject matter such that a person interested in that subject matter
`
`could, with reasonable diligence, locate and access the publication through any
`
`library with access to the OCLC Connexion database or through the Library of
`
`Congress.
`
`16. When an OCLC member institution creates a new MARC record,
`
`OCLC automatically supplies the date of creation for that record. The date of
`
`creation for the MARC record appears in the fixed field (008), characters 00
`
`through 05. The MARC record creation date reflects the date on which, or shortly
`
`after which, the item was first acquired or cataloged. Initially, field 005 of the
`
`MARC record is automatically populated with the date the MARC record was
`
`created in year, month, day format (YYYYMMDD) (some of the newer library
`
`catalog systems also include hour, minute, second (HHMMSS)). Thereafter, the
`
`library’s computer system may automatically update the date in field 005 every
`
`time the library updates the MARC record (e.g., to reflect that an item has been
`
`moved to a different shelving location within the library). Field 005 is visible
`
`when viewing a MARC record via an appropriate computerized interface, but
`
`8
`
`WESTERN DIGITAL CORPORATION, EXHIBIT 1018
`Page 9 of 66
`
`

`

`when a MARC record is printed to hardcopy, no “005” label appears. The initial
`
`field 005 date (i.e., the date the MARC record was created) does appear, however,
`
`next to the label “Entered.”5 The date upon which the most recent update to field
`
`005 occurred also appears, next to the label “Replaced.” Thus, when an item’s
`
`MARC record has been printed to hardcopy—as is the case with the exhibits to this
`
`report—the date reflected next to the label “Entered” is necessarily on or after the
`
`date the library first cataloged and indexed the underlying item.
`
`17. Once one library has cataloged and indexed a publication by creating
`
`a MARC record for that publication, other libraries that receive the publication do
`
`not create additional MARC records—the other libraries instead rely on the
`
`original MARC record. They may update or revise the MARC record to ensure
`
`accuracy, but they do not replace or duplicate it. This practice does more than save
`
`libraries from duplicating labor. It also enhances the accuracy of MARC records.
`
`Further, it allows librarians around the world to know that a particular MARC
`
`record is authoritative (in contrast, a hypothetical system wherein duplicative
`
`records were created would result in confusion as to which record is authoritative).
`
`18.
`
`The date of creation of the MARC record by a cataloger at an OCLC
`
`5
`
`In this report, I sometimes refer to the “Entered” entry as field 008, characters
`
`00-05.

`

`member institution reflects when the underlying item is accessible to the public.
`
`Upwards of two-thirds to three-quarters of book sales to libraries come from a
`
`jobber or wholesaler for online and print resources. These resellers make it their
`
`business to provide books to their customers as fast as possible, often providing
`
`turnaround times of only a single day after publication. Libraries purchase a
`
`significant portion of the balance of their books directly from publishers
`
`themselves, which provide delivery on a similarly expedited schedule. In general,
`
`libraries make these purchases throughout the year as the books are published and
`
`shelve the books as soon thereafter as possible in order to make the books available
`
`to their patrons. Thus, books are generally available at libraries across the country
`
`within just a few days of publication.
`
`19.
`
`In preparing this report, I used authoritative databases, such as the
`
`OCLC Connexion database and the Library of Congress Online Catalog, to
`
`confirm citation details of the various publications discussed.
`
`IV. Exhibit 1006 to the Petition
`20. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of the MARC
`
`record for Don Anderson, PCMCIA SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE: 16-BIT PC
`
`CARDS (MindShare, Inc., 2nd ed. 1995) (Ex. 1006). In verifying the citation for
`
`Exhibit 1006, I confirmed that the publication month was September 1995. I
`
`obtained this MARC record from the OCLC Connexion database, and it is OCLC
`
`10
`
`WESTERN DIGITAL CORPORATION, EXHIBIT 1018
`Page 11 of 66
`
`

`

`record number 33282021. Exhibit B indicates that PCMCIA SYSTEM
`
`ARCHITECTURE: 16-BIT PC CARDS was cataloged by the Library of Congress
`
`as of September 22, 1995. In view of Exhibit B, PCMCIA SYSTEM
`
`ARCHITECTURE: 16-BIT PC CARDS was publicly available no later than
`
`September 22, 1995, because by that date it had been cataloged and indexed at the
`
`Library of Congress and made part of the OCLC Connexion database. For these
`
`reasons, I find that Exhibit 1006 was published and accessible to the public as of
`
`September 22, 1995.
`
`21.
`
`In signing this Declaration, I recognize that the Declaration will be
`
`filed as evidence in a contested case before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of
`
`the United States Patent and Trademark Office. I also recognize that I may be
`
`subject to cross-examination in the case and that cross-examination will take place
`
`within the United States. If cross-examination is required of me, I will appear for
`
`cross-examination within the United States during the time allotted for cross-
`
`examination.
`
`22.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made herein of my own
`
`knowledge are true and that all statements made on information and belief are
`
`believed to be true, and further that these statements were made with the
`
`knowledge that willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine
`
`or imprisonment, or both, under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States
