Contacts: Pamela Stansbury 

Unit: Cataloging

Date last updated: 06/21/2022

Date of next review: June 2023


  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. Include a public note in the Holdings notes section of the Holdings record saying Guide to Film ####. These are also non-circulating.

For microform processing see LTS Procedure #28a, Microform Processing.

Olin/Fine Arts/Music/Science Libraries:

The microform and its guide/index are cataloged on one bibliographic 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.

The microform and the guide/index will have separate MFHDs. One MFHD is for the microform, and one is for the guide/index. The guide/index will share the film’s accession number + “Guide” [or “Index”]

Call number:

Assign accession number using CLAMSS [link].

MFHD for the microform:

     

     

MFHD for the guide/index:
