Scope:This procedure covers sound recordings processing for all audio recordings except those received directly by LTS Music.
Note: "Audio recording" is RDA vocabulary for what AACR2 called "sound recording." Similarly, AACR2 "sound cassette" and "sound disc" became RDA "audio cassette" and "audio disc."
The barcode should be affixed one-half inch down from and parallel to the top edge of the container, and one-half inch in from the right-hand, opening edge.
If containers are lacking, obtain them from the supply closet in Room 111. No clear, hard-sided cases should go to Olin, Uris or Asia.
If a caption is lacking, but must be supplied for enumeration/chronology, use the term "tape" or "disc."
Include "Warning of Copyright Restrictions" stickers as needed.
Any accompanying audio recordings designated for any Annex location will be stored separately and must have a separate container (preferably jewel case) and item record. Add "Disk" to enumeration in item record for the disk.
Audio cassettes or audio discs as main items in a secure manufacturer's case:
1. Single item: Barcode the manufacturer's case. (Exception: If for Olin, Uris, or Asia, use larger DVD case).
2. Multiple items: Barcode the manufacturer's case only. Do not barcode individual cassettes or their containers. Be sure to adjust the "PIECES" count on the item record. (Exception: If for Olin, Uris, or Asia, use larger DVD case).
A. Audio cassettes or audio discs as main items without a manufacturer's case:
1. Each cassette or disc should have its own plastic container.
2. Barcode each cassette or disc container.
3. If containers are lacking, obtain them from the supply cabinet in Room 111.
B. Audio cassettes or audio discs as accompanying material in a secure manufacturer's case:
1. Single item: Barcode the manufacturer's case.
2. Multiple items: Barcode the manufacturer's case only. Do not barcode individual cassettes or their containers. Be sure to adjust the Number of pieces count on the item record.
II. Vocabulary examples for various formats (bibliographic record):
Inserts that are laid in the container are not considered accompanying material, and should not be considered for item record creation or piece counts. Catalogers should leave them in place for handling by public services staff. If there is any question about whether the material is significant enough to warrant different treatment, consult your supervisor.
