Contacts: Pamela Stansbury
Unit: Cataloging
Date last updated: 07/14/2016
Date of next review: June 2017
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.

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.
