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 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.
...
The microform and guide/index are on one bibliographic record for the microform, with 1 holdings 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.
Barcode the guide/index, create the item record and set item type to “nocirc”.
