CUL catalogers are expected to follow national standards as found in the CONSER Editing Guide, the CONSER Cataloging Manual, and the latest CONSER standard record, found at http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/conser/issues/CSR.html.
Original cataloging should be done in OCLC following RDA. Follow the CONSER RDA Bridge Training at http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/conser/scctp/rda-materials.html.

050: Add an 050: 4: to a serial record if no other LC-style call number is present. Use the entire call number. For CONSER records use 050:14:
265: Remove obsolete field 265 (or change the field designation to 037 : : | b)
510: 510 fields may be deleted, even though CONSER says it is all right to leave them.
555: Cumulative index: If the index is recorded on our MFHD, remove the 555 from the bib. record in Voyager
588: If making updates, add or update the "Latest issue consulted" note. We may now use the first indicator "1" rather than spelling out "Latest issue consulted" in the field.

An 856 field for an electronic version of a print serial is included only if that version has been selected for subscription by CUL. If a Web site is cited in issues of a paper serial, check that it is a valid URL leading to an online version of the serial, supplementary or updating information, tables of contents or abstracts, etc. Then add a 530 field to the record for the paper version, such as, "Also available in an online version via the World Wide Web" or similar language describing the actual case. But give no URL unless the online version has been selected for subscription.
The same policy applies to MFHDs. Create a serv,remo location only when the online version has been selected.
If the print serial is cataloged originally, and the record will be entered into OCLC as a CONSER record, add the 856 with URL to the OCLC record.
URLs on member copy should be removed in Voyager unless the online version has been selected by Cornell.
850 fields: Delete all 850s in Voyager.
9XX local fields: Retain 99X fields.
Bibliographic Records for CONSER:Anchor B5 B5
Do original cataloging in OCLC Connexion. Place a printout of Save the bibliographic record in the CONSER bin in CMS.the Online Save File and give the the save file # to Laura to review and add the 010.
No electronic resource records of any kind are being submitted to CONSER. In some circumstances, a cataloger may decide not to contribute a Cornell original record to CONSER; for example, when a title that is "really" a monographic series is cataloged as a serial. The cataloger should consult with Laura Wright if there is any doubt about a particular item's suitability for CONSER.
