  General notes:   

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 probably not be included on the same bib 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 852: $z Holdings notes sectionof theHoldings record saying Guide to Film ####. These are also non-circulating.

For microform processing see LTSMicroform LTS Procedure #23a, #28aMicroform Processing.

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.

...

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.

...

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.
