Policy: The PCC BIBCO standard record (BSR) is one of the choices for original cataloging in LTS. The BSR is a floor record which emphasizes access points over extensive, redundant descriptive data. When determined that fuller cataloging is needed to enhance identification or retrieval of an item, catalogers should catalog more descriptive fields as necessary.
RMC monographs are generally cataloged beyond the BIBCO standard record for rare books. If all access points in the record are covered by authority records, the RMC cataloger codes the record as PCC. If the record contains provenance tracings, local subject headings (e.g. for publication date), or other headings not covered by authority records, it cannot be coded as PCC.

RMC monographs are generally cataloged beyond the BIBCO standard record for rare books (in some instances). If all access points in the record are covered by authority records, the RMC cataloger codes the record as PCC. If the record contains provenance tracings, local subject headings (e.g. for publication date), or other headings not covered by authority records, it cannot be coded as PCC. - Serials cataloged as monographs
- Serials at Cornell may be cataloged using the RDA CONSER Standard Record (CSR) Metadata Application Profile
- Two-check original cataloging by copy catalogers (processed according to LTS Procedure #35)

All BSR records carry the encoding level “blank.”
Authority control
PCC standards require that all headings in a PCC BIBCO standard record be under authority control and that all applicable name authorities conform to RDA. Create or update authority headings according to NACO guidelines.
Use procedures at NACO/SACO Workflow (LTS Procedure #95) to create authority records in Voyager.
Series are not tracedCUL catalogers should not trace series.
Record upgrades
Some existing records can be upgraded to BIBCO Record Standard.
These include:
...
There are no special statistic codes in the 948 field for the BIBCO record standard. Use either "o" (original) or "u" (upgrade) as appropriate. The statistics program generates the appropriate code based on the presence of 042 pcc and the "o" or "u" in the the subfield b of the 948 field.
