Microforms, photocopies, etc.

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

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).

Print and Microform on same record (monograph)

  • double check that there is no microform version bib in Sierra

  • Do not copy catalog microforms that arrived in a pocket in a book

    • instead add them to the book’s 300 field (like this):

    • 300 1 volume :|billustrations, maps ;|c 28 cm +|emicrofiche in pocket.

  1. Look for microform record on OCLC, if there is one, copy catalog, using print record as a source for checking data. Do not add 949 field, use the existing item record for the microform attached to the print record. If the item is part of a microform collection, make sure the OCLC bib matches the micro collection part (for instance, an ACS reel # & part)

  2. Update holdings, export, and bring into Sierra

  3. Bring up print version, select microform item record, transfer, and in new microform bib summary, click on Use Bib.

  4. Ta da!

  5. count as copy cataloging.

  6. In the Create Lists Review File double check the print record is lacking the microform item, then click Remove.

--If there is no microform record…ideal would be to pull the microform and catalog it from that. Might be best for speed to leave it where it is for now. Discuss with others at meeting.

 

Government Info microforms that are on print bibs instead of micro

--usually have note saying “Distributed to depository libraries in microfiche.

But all other indications on the bib record are print.
