Bibliographic records

Video games should be cataloged in OCLC as Computer Files. There will usually be existing copy, though you may need to enhance or update the record.

A good search strategy is title plus keyword for the game platform. You can also search by identifier (publisher number).


Pay attention to the following fields (highlighted in the sample record below):

007
028
250
300
336/337/338
538
655 _7 Video games. $2 lcgft
753 (System details access to computer files)

Also pay close attention to the title and source of title.

Holdings records

Video games will all be classed under LC call number GV1469.3 with cutter based on title. As this is an unconventional use of this class number, do not add it to the record in OCLC.
