General notes:
1. Guides will be barcoded and placed on appropriate physical processing trucks.
2. Item type should be set to nocirc.
RDA: It’s OK to accept copy if it is not incorrect or misleading. Otherwise follow Option 4 in our Toolkit Workflow titled Accompanying Material Options: enter guides in the 300 |e and add a 2nd set of 33X for the guide with leading ǂ3 for book. Make sure that the first 337 field represents the microform. (See RDA 3.4.1.3. + 3.4.5.
In the examples below, the guides have been entered in the 868 (Index) field on the MFHD. However, if the guide is not an index, use an 867 (Supplement) field.
A. Coverage of the microform and guide are the same
B. Coverage of the guide is more extensive than the microform
C. Microfilm and guide are serials received separately
D. Microform and guide are serials received together

Olin:
A. Coverage of the microform and the guide are the same:
The microform and its guide are cataloged on one bib for the microform, with 2 MFHDs. One MFHD is for the microform, and one is for the guide. Code both as incomplete multi-part items in the MFHD fixed fields as follows: The Leader for both is v for multi-part item. The 008 shows the receipt status as 5 and completeness as 2. The guide will have an accession number + "Guide".
MFHD for the microform:
852 81 $a olin $h Film 5663
866 41 $80 $a reels 1-21
868 41 $80 $a 1 guide $z <shelved in Reference>
MFHD for the guide:
852 80 $b olin,ref $h Film 5663 Guide NOTE: Do not add oversize designation.
Place items on Physical Processing trucks.
B. Coverage of the guide is more extensive than the microform:
The microform and guide are cataloged separately. The guide receives a full LC classification. The selector can designate if for the Reference Department or for the stacks.
MFHD for microform:
852 81 $b olin $h Film 6147
866 41 $80 $a reel 2; reel 4
868 41 $80 $a 1 guide, covering the World $z <shelved in Reference: Z7553.C3 I55>
MFHD for guide in Reference:
852 00 $b olin,ref $h Z7553.C3 $i I55
NOTE: Do not add oversize designation.
MFHD for microform:
852 81 $b olin $h Film 6147
866 41 $80 $a reel 2; reel 4
868 41 $80 $a 1 guide, covering the World $z <shelved in Reference: Z7553.C3 I55>
MFHD for guide in Reference:
852 00 $b olin,ref $h Z7553.C3 $i I55
NOTE: Do not add oversize designation.
C. Microform and guide are serials received separately:
The microform and guide are cataloged separately. The guide gets an accession number + "Guide", and is in Reference. Ex.:
MFHD for microform:
852 81 $b olin $h Film 4931
866 41 $80 $a 1954/1955-1976,1978-1993
868 41 $80 $a 1 multi-part guide $z <shelved in Reference>
MFHD for guide:
852 81 $b olin,ref $h Film 4931 Guide
866 41 $80 $a 1978/1982-1988
NOTE: Do not add oversize designation.
MFHD for microform:
852 81 $b olin $h Film 4931
866 41 $80 $a 1954/1955-1976,1978-1993
868 41 $80 $a 1 multi-part guide $z <shelved in Reference>
MFHD for guide:
852 81 $b olin,ref $h Film 4931 Guide
866 41 $80 $a 1978/1982-1988
NOTE: Do not add oversize designation.
D. Microform and guide are serials received together:
The microform and guide are one record for the microform, with 2 MFHDs. One MFHD is for the microform, one is for the guide. Code both as incomplete multi-part items in the MFHD fixed fields as follows: The Leader for both is y for serial. The 008 shows the receipt status as 5 and completeness as 2. The guide gets an accession number + "Guide". Ex.: MFHD for microform:
852 81 $b olin $h Microfiche 1283
866 41 $80 $a papers (1833-1843)
866 41 $80 $a transactions (1853/1854-1875/1876)
866 41 $80 $a transactions (1876/1877-1900/1901)
868 41 $80 $a Guide $z <shelved in Reference>
MFHD for guide:
852 81 $b olin,ref $h Microfiche 1283 Guide
866 41 $80 $a pt.1 (1833-1876)
NOTE: Do not add oversize designation.
852 81 $b olin $h Microfiche 1283
866 41 $80 $a papers (1833-1843)

866 41 $80 $a transactions (1876/1877-1900/1901)
868 41 $80 $a Guide $z <shelved in Reference>
MFHD for guide:
852 81 $b olin,ref $h Microfiche 1283 Guide
866 41 $80 $a pt.1 (1833-1876)
NOTE: Do not add oversize designation.

Whenever possible the guide/index to a microform set should be added to the bibliographic record for the set. If, in a cataloger’s best judgement, the guide/index is better served by an individual bibliographic record, linking fields must be added to both the microform and guide/index bibliographic records to ensure mutual discovery. For example, if the guide was not originally issued as part of the microform set, or was created and published by a different entity, perhaps it should not be included on the microform bibliographic record.
In general, microform guides are non-circulating and are shelved in a library’s reference section with the microform accession number. If there are multiple copies of the guide/index, and the decision is made that the additional copy will reside in the stacks, assign it an LC call number and create a separate holdings record. Do not includes "Guide" with the LC-style call number. Include a public note in the Holdings notes sectionof theHoldings record saying Guide to Film ####. These are also non-circulating.
For microform processing see LTS Procedure #23a, Microform Processing.

The microform and its guide/index are cataloged on one bibliographic record. Please make sure the guide/index is included in the $e of the 300 field with an accompanying 500 note and 7xx field if the guide/index has a unique title.
The microform and the guide/index will have separate Holdings. One for the microform, and one for the guide/index. The guide/index will share the film’s accession number + “Guide” [or “Index”]. Assign accession number using CLAMSS
Holdings for the microform:
