The 040 field is designated for providing the name of the organization(s) that created the original record, assigned MARC content designation and transcribed the record into machine-readable form or modified an existing MARC record. Every agency that creates records has a designated 3 letter code, which is identified in subfield a. A 3 letter language code, used in subfield b, is used to specify the language in which the material is cataloged, if there is no “ǂb eng” then add it. Subfield c shows the agency that input the record into a shared cataloging system. The same 3 letter code assigned to agencies is used and is usually the same agency that created the record. The most common agency code you will see is DLC (which is the Library of Congress). The most important thing to know about this field is that it is different in AACR2 than it is in RDA (a subfield e = “rda” must be used to show that RDA rules were used to create the record. So, if the record is RDA and there is a 040 without the subfield e of “rda” it needs to be added.

*For multi-volume sets: Acquisitions may create an order item for each volume (if so, transfer and attach all the order records to the same bibliographic record after copy cataloging), AND/OR there may already be a full bibliographic record in Sierra FOLIO (if so, just create a new item move the item record from the order record, for the volume which needs to be added into the system and change the 049 field Holding record to reflect what the library holds). You would also need to suppress the order record (see FOLIO workflows for that procedure)
050/090 LC Call Number
Call numbers are made up of a Classification number that is assigned according to the subject contents of the item, along with one or two “cutters” and the date of publication. Library of Congress Classification Numbers include one or two letters indicating the subject accompanied by numbers. The classification number and the first cutter number, if there are two, are entered in subfield a, while the second cutter and the date are entered in subfield b. If there is only one cutter number the classification number is entered in subfield a, and the cutter number and the date are entered in subfield b. *There should always be a period at the beginning of the first cutter.
Check the call number. USU uses the Library of Congress classification system and whenever possible attempts to use the call numbers assigned to an item by the Library of Congress. However, there are occasions when these numbers may need to be adjusted so that the item will be in the proper order in the library shelves. LC assigned call numbers are usually listed in the 050 field, while 090 fields are used for call numbers that have not been assigned by the Library of Congress. Numbers in a 050 field should not be changed unless there is a 4 in the second indicator which means an entity other than LC assigned the call number. (Ex. 050 _ 4 PR6068 .O93 ǂb H373 1999). If If the call number needs to be adjusted, and there is not a number 4 in the second indicator, then our local practice is to add a 090 field should be added, and the adjusted call number entered into that field. If there is more than one LC call number in a 090 field, delete all but the one being used in the USU catalog to avoid confusion.
Check that the year of the call number is correct, checking against the publication/copyright year. If If a book is an older item, without a year listed in the 050/090, and, if the year of publication/copyright is easily discernible, add the year to the call number, but remember to put it into a 090 field as per our local practice for adjusted call number. This is now optional (you are not required to add a year to the call number for older items without them).
Search the online catalog. Copy and paste the call number into Sierra FOLIO to search and check for accuracy and to avoid duplication. If the 050/090 duplicates another call number in SierraFOLIO, edit the cutter number to make it unique. Try to leave room for future numbers to fit in the catalog easily. Also check to make sure that the call number looks like it belongs on the shelf. Does the number look like it makes sense? Check, for example, the number of cutter numbers.
...
When making changes to a DLC assigned call number (050 00), retain the original 050 and put the new call number in a 090.
