Microforms, photocopies, etc.
Extremely rough draft of procedures for cataloging microform, photocopies, etc.
- 1.1 OCLC Bibliographic Format and Guidelines for microforms, photocopies
- 1.2 Original RDA Toolkit LC-PCC interpretations
- 1.3 FDLP Guidelines for Cataloging Microfiche
- 1.4 Other excellent Guides from Yale University Library:
- 1.5 PCC Task Group on RDA Microform Reproductions Cataloging report
- 1.6 Microform Collections in Utah State University Libraries
- 2 MIGRATION CLEAN-UP NOTES
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).

Serials makes the labels and applies barcodes
099 MICRO
Shelved alphabetically by title.
Housed in gmic (BARN)
NB FM microfilm
We print labels and apply barcodes
Miscellaneous resources, mostly not serials/periodicals/newspapers
099 NB FM plus the next available number
Housed in gmic (BARN)
USU Theses and Dissertations on microfiche:
099 MICRO FORM THESES

Edit any bibs that are left manually
Take off limiting search to bring all HPER back in:
add variable field:

and see what's left in there:

338 microform|2local - and this one?
338 micrforom|2local - nifty (1 of these)
338 microfrom|2local - that almost makes sense (2 of these)
338 aperture card|bha|2rdacarrier - good heavens 2 bibs
338 microfiche|bhe|2rdacarrier - several of these
--008 codes were correct for those last two, fortunately

Should I de-OCLC the 001, just in case? --yeah.
Delete limiter of 338|b h hd from search
Global edit: 001 micro111111nbfm
Microform miscellany
--1138 bibs
Go through and manually fix what I can,
then Remove edited bib from review file
Some of these are going to need me to actually pull the item! I’ll leave those in the review file
Cartographic errors AGAIN: 4 bibs, so far
Manually (have to change, then save Leader first to reset the 008 field)
Material Type: e --> b (microform)
MARC Leader REC TYPE: e (map) -->a (language material)
Save to reset the 008 field
check 008 for FormItem: a (microfilm) - add is missing

USU Eastern
some have no 001 to edit, but if there is one:
001 micro111uw <--There are a few that are print format bibs in OCLC
so far they’ve been all microfilm:
Sierra Material Type: b
008 FormItem: a
337 microform|bh|2rdamedia
338 microfilm reel|bhd|2rdacarrier
micro cards
337 microform|bh|2rdamedia
338 microopaque|bhg|2rdacarrier
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.
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)
Update holdings, export, and bring into Sierra
Bring up print version, select microform item record, transfer, and in new microform bib summary, click on Use Bib.
Ta da!
count as copy cataloging.
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.
+++Discuss with Jenn – Jenn is covering these
Microform Collections (usually microform versions of manuscript collections)
Material type: p (mixed media)-->b (microform)
008 FormItem: a (microfilm) or b (microfiche)
336 text|btxt|2rdacontent <--can also add other formats
and
337 microform|bh|2rdamedia
plus:
338 microfilm reel|bhd|2rdacarrier
OR
