In pursuit of quality control and specifically what information on bibliographic records must be correct, the chart below is a concise guideline.  Patron accessibility and the avoidance of duplication are the primary focus.   

  • Fixed fields should be accurate.
  • Local authority validation is not necessary.
  • Watch for series statements that are actually multivol. titles.
  • 6XX’s should not be added unless you are deriving from an existing record (e.g. earlier edition).  All others aside from fiction should be treated as original cataloging.
  • Unless something looks obviously wrong or suspicious, don’t over think it.

This chart reflects the fields necessary for patron access and avoidance of duplicate items. Do not delete or change fields that are not incorrect. If in doubt, ask.
