Microforms, photocopies, etc.

^{Extremely rough draft of procedures for cataloging microform, photocopies, etc.}

1 OCLC Bibliographic Format and Guidelines for microforms, photocopies
2 Original RDA Toolkit LC-PCC interpretations
3 FDLP Guidelines for Cataloging Microfiche
4 Other excellent Guides from Yale University Library:
5 PCC Task Group on RDA Microform Reproductions Cataloging report
6 Microform Collections in Utah State University Libraries

It general, we are expected to continue following the LC-PCC PS for Facsimiles and Reproduction for the original RDA Toolkit as modified for OCLC, until the new RDA Toolkit (LRM version) has been more thoroughly field-tested for cataloging microforms and other reproductions (and given that microfilming for preservation purposes is being phased out in favor of digitization, this may not happen for a while).
