RDS Cataloging Manual (folders of policy and workflows)

 

General guidelines for monographic adaptive cataloging

Perform all basic adaptive cataloging using the OCLC Connexion client. Limit your bibliographic MARC work in FOLIO to any fields that are not present in OCLC, fields we decide to remove but need to remain in the OCLC original, and adding fields specific to local use.

  • Accept found records as much as possible, per the Libraries' policy.
  • Use only English language records (040 will have $b eng, or $b will be absent).
  • Focus on the number and accuracy of access points
  • Correct typos, indicators, and subfield codes anywhere in the record.
  • See OCLC Bib Formats and Standards (or see end of field punctuation cheat sheet for specifics).
  • Your full authorization allows replacement of master records with corrections and enhancements. For making changes to records, see OCLC's Expert Community Guidelines.
  • If making changes to the OCLC master record and you still need local fields, overlay or import into FOLIO and then edit the MARC in the Instance in FOLIO to add local notes and fields.
  • Your full authorization does not allow you to make changes to BIBCO records (042=pcc).
  • Use good judgment and the following cataloging standards to inform your cataloging: RDA, AACR2, LC-PCC PSs, and MARC21 Format standards (all in Cataloger's Desktop), ClassWeb, OCLC Connexion Documentation, and OCLC BIb formats and standards.

RDA current information and policy updates

Basic copy cataloging procedures follow below. Monographic print materials arrive to the RDS from Acquisitions. Catalogers locate and edit records in OCLC Connexion client to overlay the instance in FOLIO. (Detailed procedures by MARC field can be found on the MARC local treatment tab at the top of this page.)

1. Search FOLIO for record and verify

2. Search OCLC for record

3. Editing in OCLC Online Save File

4. Local editing in FOLIO

5.Post cataloging processing - Marking/Preservation


1. Search FOLIO for record and verify

In FOLIO, search for the OCLC record that was downloaded by Acquisitions and has the barcode and order attached. Look at the record in FOLIO, but keep in mind that you will still need to search OCLC to determine if the record in FOLIO is the best match for the item in hand.

2. Search OCLC for record (see also OCLC Connexion client training, click on link to Basic Bibliographic Searching)

To be used for copy cataloging, a record must match the item you have in hand in form, content, and publisher. You’ll need to determine if there is a matching record in OCLC, or if there is no matching record. If there is no matching record, a new record will need to be created by an original cataloger. 

Differences in form (print vs. microfilm vs. ebook) require a new record. Differences in content can involve revisions (true new editions) or differences in layout (including different number of pages and size for a paperback edition of the same text). Even if the same text is reprinted exactly, a different publisher will require a different record. In any situation requiring a new record, you can put the item on the Original Cataloging shelf. (See OCLC's When to input a new record.)

These are the basics of what needs to match on a record in order to use it in copy cataloging.

  • Check 245 title and statement of responsibility for match (punctuation need not match).

  • Check 250 for edition.

  • Check imprint, 260 or 264 $b and $c, to be sure publisher and date are the same. Place of publication can vary, but publisher and date must match your item.

  • Check 300 $a for a match in the number of pages. Illustrations and size in 300 $b and $c needn’t match precisely, though you may consider size in case of doubt.

  • If there is a 490 for the series statement (490) in the record, verify that the statement on the item matches the record. It may be paired with 8XX or not.

Once you find a matching bib record for the item in OCLC, save it to the Online Bibliographic Save File (Ctl + Alt + v). Make a note of the Save File number so you can easily locate it.

3. Editing in OCLC Online Save File

To locate the record you just saved to the Online Save File, use Ctl + F3. To locate the record, you can use the Save File number, search by title, or search by “My Status” (if needed, we can show you how to set this).

When editing a record in OCLC, use the MARC local treatment tab on this page as a guideline.

In general, you will be verifying, correcting, or adding MARC fields to the OCLC record in the Online Save File.

  • Determine that the title, other title information, and statement of responsibility have been transcribed correctly. Make any needed corrections.

  • Look at all of the access points to make sure they are spelled correctly and check that the MARC coding is correct.

  • Add a bibliography (504) note if missing.

  • Add tables of contents in a 505 if they will add value. (If adding, these can often be copied from a publisher web site and edited.)

  • Check classification and if none, add an appropriate Library of Congress Classification number.

Checklist for finishing the record in OCLC:

When done editing:

  • Control headings (Edit/Control headings). Search in authorities as needed to verify headings.

  • Check spelling (Tools/Check spelling)

  • Validate the completed record (Edit/Validate).

Actions needed for overlaying, replacing FOLIO instance bib records:

  • If you have made no edits or changes in OCLC, copy the OCLC number. In Inventory in FOLIO, with the matching Instance record open, pulldown Actions menu and select "Overlay source bibliographic record", paste the OCLC number in the OCLC identifier field and click "Import" button.
  • If you have edited a complex, copied record and have added value or made a significant change, then Action/Replace record in OCLC. Once that is replaced, copy the OCLC number. In Inventory in FOLIO, with the matching Instance record open, pulldown Actions menu and select "Overlay source bibliographic record", paste the OCLC number in the OCLC identifier field and click "Import" button.

4. Local editing in FOLIO

In FOLIO instance record:

  • ACTIONS pulldown>>Edit Instance. Enter today's date for "Cataloged date"; select "Cataloged" from "Instance status term" pulldown; select appropriate "Statistical code" from the pulldown ARL code; input text string into the Administrative note field (date:YYYYMMDD catlvl:X cat:XXX). "Save & close."

    • CAT LEVEL. Typically you’ll type in “a” for copy cataloging or “p” for complex copy cataloging. (See CAT LEVEL codes slides 3 and 4 for definitions.) Other codes we use are n=PCC o=original. Acquisitions may use "k" and "x".

  • Use VuFind or FOLIO Inventory browse call number to check the Libraries' shelf list to make sure the call number isn't a duplicate and fits correctly. In the Instance, select "View holdings" button. Actions>>Edit. Make sure the "Permanent" holdings location is correct, if not select it. "call number type", select appropriate type from dropdown. Paste the call number into the field "Call number" with correct spacing and punctuation for the spine call number. "Save & close."

    • Revise call number locally if needed. In Instance, Actions>>Edit MARC bibliographic record and change the 050 to an 090 with the call number we are using. Save & close."

In FOLIO item record:

  • Back in the Instance, click on the bold Holdings with location and call number and a down arrow. You will see a barcode which you can click on to open the item record. Actions>>Edit.

  • If there is not a barcode yet, scan that into the field. 

  • "Material type" is a dropdown, select the appropriate type. Enter "Copy number". If there are more than one piece, enter "Number of pieces" and briefly describe pieces in "Description of pieces". If item is part of a set, enter "Volume" with corresponding piece numbering.

  • Make sure "Permanent loan type" is set.

  • "Save & close."

5. Post cataloging processing - Marking/Preservation

When done cataloging, sort materials as follows for Marking/Preservation.

Cart:

Newly cataloged and remarks: All newly cataloged books go to Marking on this cart. This includes older items that need spine label changes, shelf-ready items with correct spine labels, and shelf-ready items with call number revisions. For revisions, use a "Please change call number to" flag and write the new call number, including location prefix, on the slip.

Shelves:

Preservation: Place on this shelf any item that needs Preservation attention. Preservation items include books with accompanying media, tip-ins, items needing repairs, pockets, or a box. Use a "For Preservation" flag and note the problem on the slip. This shelf is on the far right as you face the wall shelving in N110, above Rushes.

Rushes: Any items cataloged from this RDS shelf should be walked down to Marking and placed on their "Rushes & Holds" shelf.

Media: Any media cataloged should be walked to Marking and placed on their "Media to be Marked" shelf (above "Rushes & Holds" shelf).

MARC fields - Monograph (m) and/or Serial (s) instructions

For more information on a field and field values, click on the hyperlinked field name in OCLC's Bibliographic Formats & Standards.

In the chart below, an "m" means the field applies to monographs, "s" means it applies to serials, and "m/s" applies to both.
Type m/s Type of record

"a" for published material.

BLvl m Bibliographic Level "m" for monograph
BLvl s Bibliographic Level "s" for serial
S/L s Entry convention "0" for successive entry, occasionally "2" for integrating resources; do not use records coded '1
Desc m/s Descriptive form  "i" if RDA, or "a" if AACR2, depending on rules used.
ELvl m Encoding level should be an “I” since we’re making full-level records. (Do not change it to "I" if the field is blank or "8.")
ELvl s Encoding level

If less than blank, consider authentication?

SrTp s Type of continuing resource usually "p" for periodical or blank
Cont m Contents check to confirm accuracy of contents. Such as adding "b" for bibliography and "c" for catalog.
Cont s Contents relatively rare in serials
Ills m Illustrations add "a" if illustrated
Biog m Biographical Info. Fill in if biographical info. present
Indx m Index "1" if item has an index. (Leave as "0" if no index.)
Freq / Regl s Frequency and Regularity should correspond to 310; may use "no attempt to code" if needed
DtSt m Type of Date  "s" for single date, "t" for publication and copyright date,  "r" for reprint/original date. Verify, correct, or add.
DtSt s Publication status "c" for current; "d" for ceased; "u" for unknown
Dates m Date 1, Date 2 DtSt and Dates fields work in conjunction. Note order of dates if multiple.
Dates s Date 1, Date 2 both fields must be populated; "9999" for current publications
Lang m Language of item Verify, correct, or add language of the item.
Ctry m Country of publication Verify, correct, or add country of publication.
007 m Physical description fixed field Not typically used for print books, use of 007 dependent on bib record type
020 m ISBN Verify, correct, or add. No need to add parenthetical information such as "(pbk)," but retain it if it's already there.
022   ISSN
040   Cataloging source Leave as is for a  copied record. ("COD" appears in $a if we created the record. "COD" appears in a later subfield if we replaced it.)
041 Language(s) of item Verify. Only use 041 if the Lang fixed field is insufficient to convey the language(s) of the item. Always use the 041 for translations or multilingual items.
050 _4 or 090 Classification If 050 04 is present in master record, do not revise it. (If revision is needed, do this locally in Sierra). Add if no LC class number present. Check that call number is in the correct subject area and correlates with the subject headings on the record. Add date of publication if not present.
100, 110,111 Main Entry: Personal/Corporate/Meeting Name Check for authorized form and control heading. If no AR, see NACO work instructions for when to put on NACO shelf. Add relationship designator in $e if record is RDA. Accept unless obviously wrong. (Editors are added entries in (7XX), not 1XX).
130 Uniform Title Any conflict with the title proper must be resolved with the use of a qualifier in the 130. Note that different formats of the same work (e.g., online and print versions) should have the same work AAP. Do not qualify with (Online). AR's are not needed for 130s.
222 s Key Title A unique name assigned to a resource by an ISSN registration agency. Do not edit or delete.
240   Uniform title Verify form of entry and all subfields. If a translation of a single original title is unsupported by an AR, put on the NACO shelf for one to be created. Only 1 language in $l is allowed in RDA.
245 Title statement Check title, remainder of title, and statement of responsibility for accuracy. Transcribe exactly as on the resource. If main entry present (1XX ), first indicator = "1" (245 1_). If no main entry, first indicator i= " 0" (245 0_). Second indicator = number of non-filing characters (i.e., 246 14 for The sourcerer’s apprentice). Under RDA, no limit on the number of names, and no $h is allowed.
246 Varying form of title Alternate title to be used if appropriate (include variations important to access, e.g. spine titles, spelled out forms of words or symbols). Do not use initial articles.
247 s Former Title (latest entry records or Integrating Resources) Acceptable in new cataloging for Integrating Resources only. Do not use latest entry records for serials.
250 Edition Statement Verify, correct, or add if appropriate. Edition number must match. Must be transcribed exactly as on the resource; abbreviations used only if found on the resource.
264 or 260 Production, Publication, Distribution, Manufacture, and Copyright Notice Check publisher location, name, and date of publication. Match any form of the publisher name. Date must match. Can retain existing 260, or change to 264 if editing. Supply additional 264's as needed under RDA.
300 Physical Description Verify, correct, or add. Accept ill. for illustrations. Fill in for C.I.P. records. Under RDA, spell out terms with the exception of "cm"
310/321 Current/Former Frequency Use $b for dates if multiple frequencies. Do not use "frequency varies" in new cataloging. Fixed fields for freq and regl should match 310. See http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/freq.html for common frequencies and their appropriate coding
336 Content Type Verify, correct, or add for RDA records.
337 Media Type Verify, correct, or add for RDA records.
338 Carrier Type Verify, correct, or add for RDA records.
362 m Dates of Publication and/or Sequential Designation Include if resource is part of a series. If so, enter series title and volume info. as it appears on the resource. Trace it in 830 for authorized form of series title. (If no series authority record, put it on the NACO shelf.)
362 s Dates of Publication and/or Sequential Designation Prefer unformatted (2nd indicator 1). Combine began with and ceased with in same 362, separated by a semicolon. Questionable information is acceptable, e.g., Began in 1992?
490   Series statement Verify, correct, or add. This should reflect the form of the series statement as it appears on the item. If traced, use with 800-830. When there is a 490 with first indicator 0 and a corresponding 830 change the first indicator in the 490 to 1.
5XX   Notes Verify. Use judgment when adding notes if appropriate. If necessary, supply: source of title note, bibliographical references note, index note, literary form, quoted notes, date clarification or any other useful note. Used for notes for which a 5XX has not been defined.
504 m Bibliography, Etc. Note  Verify. Add if missing and there are bibliographic references (and possibly an index). If only an index, use a 500 "Includes index" note instead. Insert pages only if references are limited to those pages (e.g., Includes bibliographic references (pages 346-360) and index.)
505 m Formatted Contents Note  If there is a meaningful table of contents, or discernable and distinct contents headings in a book, you may add a 505 contents note. Supply for collections/sets, compilations, or for multi-part items with separate titles. If multiple titles/authors, enhance the 505. (Do not use $g in OCLC for initial articles; just add locally.) Do not use field 505 in serial records.
515 s Numbering peculiarities note See Notes for Serials Cataloging for examples and inspiration
530   Additional physical form available note Delete locally, "Also available online." (Do not change the master record.)
730 [prev.545] m,s CU Boulder author See Acq. workflow: CU Author CD/Acq Workflow Receiving adds "730 0 _CU Boulder Author Collection" or if retroactive identification of a CU author, Arthur or a cataloger adds the 730. 
588 s Source of Description Note Always update 588 LIC when making updates to a serial record.
590 Local note Local notes about CU copy of an item.
6XX Subject added entry (600, 610, 651, 655) Check subject headings and use judgment in determining if any additional headings need to be added, or existing headings revised or reordered. In general, don't delete subject fields (unless they are "fast" headings in a new, derived record). If headings are in languages other than English, only retain the foreign language headings if they match the language of the resource. Deleting these is a local procedure only; do not change the master record. If any appear incorrect, or require additional headings, you may add those. If no AR, see NACO work instructions for when to put on NACO shelf. Retain MeSH and NAL headings.
655 Genre form Retain LC Genre/Form headings. If adding, use LC genre/form terms ( $2 lcgft). Delete any non-LC Genre/Form terms locally only. Do not change master record.
655_1-6 Genre form Delete locally. Do not change master record.
655_7 Genre form Retain $2 lcgft, gsafd, and any RMBS terms ($2 rbxxx). Use 655 _7 $ local only for CU Boulder theses and dissertations. Delete all others locally. Do not change master record.
7XX Added entry

Check if added entries needed for editor, corporate entities (usually not added entry if they are already named as publisher). Check for authorized form and control heading. If no AR, see NACO work instructions for when to put on NACO shelf. RDA relationship designators in $e may/may not be present. Accept these unless obviously wrong.

730     Added entry, uniform title Control heading. Verify form of entry and all subfields. AR's are not needed for 730's. As of 10/2022, use 730 locally for collection titles (formerly in 793) to make them searchable in EDS. The new 730 collection titles should always have 1st indicator 0 (730 0_) and no initial article (e.g., "The").
780/785 s Preceding entry/Succeeding entry  
830 Series added entry - uniform title Check for authorized form and control heading. Examine the Series Authority Record for form of heading, tracing treatment and numbering. Verify, correct, or add relevant subfields. If no SAR, put on the NACO shelf. (Must have a 490_1 for 830 to be present.) If a serial analytic, look at the checkin record and the authority record in Sierra for additional or local treatment decisions (usually "class sep").
856 Electronic location and access

Locally, delete all 856 fields in records for textual print materials, with the following exceptions:

  • 856 fields with indicators 41 that have purl in the link (usually government documents)
    • https://purl.fdlp.gov/GPO/LPS81731
    • http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS626
  • 856 fields with indicators 41 that have archive.org in the link (usually Internet Archive documents)
    • https://archive.org/details/lafuerzadelamort3451azor
    • http://web.archive.org/web/20031116070407/http://www.ago.state.co.us/cssm/cssm2003.pdf
  • 856 fields with indicators 41 that you are absolutely sure link to the entire full text. Please verify this by checking the link.

Optionally, for items with 856 fields that link to a table of contents, you may copy/paste TOC information to create a 505 in the OCLC and/or local record. Note: 856 may be handled differently for government documents, maps, ebooks, etc. See those specific procedures.

 

 

Subfield $0

In OCLC records, $0 is an authority record control field used for linked data. You may see $0 in headings (such as 65X, 7XX, 830, etc.). When you control the heading in Connexion, the $0 disappears from the record display. Please do control the heading. Although the $0 no longer displays, it is retained in the background in the authority file. We'll be seeing more of these as we move toward Linked Data.

As of September 2015, $0's were removed from the loader, so you should not see $0's in our catalog's records.

You can read more about $0 in MARC 21 bibliographic control subfields.

Questions to consider if a publication could be reasonably cataloged as both a monograph or a serial:

(From Laura Wright's Serials & Series Authority Records presentation.)

  • Would the subjects assigned be similar?
  • Are there distinctive titles that would provide useful access?
  • What collection is it part of? Whom do we expect to use it, and why?
  • Are we likely to get more?

There is not always one right answer.

When should a title be referred to Serials cataloging?

(From Laura Wright's Serials overview presentation.)

  • If earlier volumes or editions have been cataloged as serials
  • If you find a serial record (in OCLC or locally)
  • If there is prominent numbering or a frequency statement
  • If you find evidence of multiple publications with the same title, published different years (dates may be considered numbering)
  • If there is an unclear/confusing/contradictory series authority record
  • Any time you think something might be a serial or you have questions about why something was (or was not) cataloged as a serial

Conferences

If you have the proceedings of a conference, consider whether it might be a serial. Search for a serial record in Sierra. Search OCLC for a serial record.

The following conditions may indicate you have a serial:

  • Name of the conference remains constant over several issues
  • Title remains constant over several issues. (This is often a title such as: Proceedings of the ...)
  • Issues lack individual titles

Also, any high number of a conference (e.g. Tenth Annual Conference of ...) is suspect.

When in doubt, refer such items to Serials cataloging.

Graphic novels that have been ordered for academic departments should be processed according to the procedures specified for those specific funds or locations. For example, the general collection graphic novels detailed in this document are processed differently from those ordered for a special collection, such as the Lebowitz Collection, which has its own procedures. Additionally, if the material has been ordered through a juvenile collection fund, follow the Juvenile Materials guidelines unless otherwise instructed. (See “Juvenile Collection Graphic Novels” on page 9 of the following document for procedures.)
