For monographs which require original cataloging, we apply DCRM(B) for pre-1800 European and pre-1821 American imprints. For all modern books or serials requiring original cataloging, we apply RDA. For sound recordings, we apply AACR2, subject to the guidance of the Music Cataloging Coordinator.
For copy cataloging, leave the existing cataloging as is, except:
- update the encoding level to full (Encoding level: blank), if it's less than full (Encoding level 4, 7, or u, for example)
- update access points to their preferred forms, and create authority records if needed
- correct any errors in the record
- add special files fields as appropriate (see LTS Procedure 89#89)
- add copy-specific notes in the holdings record, especially if our copy lacks anything (example: "Imperfect: lacks title page").
Do not change an existing catalog record from AACR2 to DCRM(B) or RDA or vice versa.

Provenance--routinely. This goes in a $z note on the holdings record ("Provenance: [name] (nature of ownership mark, e.g. bookplate, stamp, or signature).") The name of the inscriber, former owner, etc. is also traced in a 7xx field on the bib record, with the appropriate relationship designator in $e at the end (former owner, signer, etc.).
