## Session 5: Working with Copy:Finding Appropriate Records

- How do I identify the "most appropriate" serial record?
- 	Is it the same publication?
- 	Is it for the appropriate physical format?
- 	Do the dates fit?
- 	Is the record AACR2?
- 	How authoritative is the record?

**Notes:**
References
The trainer may want to review the following sources:
CONSER Editing Guide, Field 042
CONSER Cataloging Manual, Modules 22 and 31

Questions for the Session: The objectives of this session are to help the participants recognize the distinctive elements of serial cataloging records, define the “most appropriate” serial copy, and select appropriate serial copy based on information from the piece(s) in hand.  To that end the material in the session is focused on answering these questions: 
- Does the record describe this publication, in general? How does the format match; for example, if the publication is a CD-ROM, is the record also for a CD-ROM? Does the issue in hand fit with the dates in the record?
- Can the record be interpreted & edited by anyone familiar with the current AACR2 rules? Or, is knowledge of earlier rules needed?
- What assumptions can the cataloger make, based on the quality of the record?

[Trainers Note: Records in any utility or catalog will reflect several generations of cataloging. For that reason, many of the AACR2 records on these slides reflect non-CONSER standard record cataloging practices.]

## Is the Publication the Same?

- What to look for:
- _Description_      	           _MARC Tag_
- ISSN                       	022
- Title and statement
-    of responsibility        	245 $a, $n, $p, and $c
- Publisher	            	260 $b
- Dates of publication     	362 and 008 fixed field dates
- Issuing body note
-    and heading        	550, 710
- Subject headings        	6xx
- Links (earlier/later)  	780/785

- Session 5

**Notes:**
Evaluating Serial Copy
[Trainers: please note that the records used for examples in this session may not conform to current practices in coding, tagging, formatting notes, etc.  The emphasis in this session is on selecting the best or most appropriate copy available, not on how it should or could be edited.  Session 6 will cover the editing of serial copy.]
The first question to ask is, Does this record describe the same publication as the one in hand? 	 	 	
 - What you need to know:
      - Many serials have the same title.
      - What may at first seem to be the appropriate record may not be
- What to look for in the record: 
	      - Does the ISSN on the issue match the record?
	      - How well do the descriptive elements match--the title proper ($a, $n, $p), edition, and publisher? [NOTE: 245 $c is not required for CONSER standard records, but will still be found in other AACR2 records]
	      - Does the date of coverage on the issue in hand match the range given in the 362 field (and 008 Date elements)?
	      - Is the publication in hand issued by the same body as that represented in the record?

## Example

**Cover:**
**CRITIQUE**
**studies in**
**contemporary**
**fiction**
**Volume 40, No. 3                          Spring 1999**
**Verso of cover:**
**CRITIQUE: Studies in Contemporary Fiction (ISSN 0011-1619) is published quarterly by Heldref Publications, 1319 Eighteenth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036-1802** ...

- Session 5

**Notes:**

Critique is a fairly common title. What other clues could the cataloger use to match this issue to records in the database? 
Note that there is an ISSN and that it is published in Washington.  Note also that what we are looking at is volume 40, published 1999. 
Setup: A search of the utility retrieves three records. The question is, which (if any) matches this issue?

**Notes:**
This is the first record that has been found.  What do we see from this screen?
  - The title is the same.
  - It is published in New York.
  - It was only published from 1946-1947.
  - The ISSN doesn’t match.

CONSER standard record notes: The distinguishing uniform title (130 field) is not required for a CSR record (except in the case of monographic series and generic titles). However, students will find such uniform titles in existing AACR2 records and in some CSR records.

The subject (65X) does match the scope of the serial being searched.
Note that as a serial changes over time, some information (e.g., Bolingbroke Society) that appears on early issues may no longer appear on later issues.

## Is the Record for the Same Physical Format?

- What to look for:
- _Description_      	            	_MARC Tag_
- Fixed fields form coding     		008, 006, and 007
- General Material Designation
- 	 (GMD)	       		245 $h
- Physical description	       		300
- Other physical format note    	530
- Reproduction note	                  	533
- Electronic access	                  	856

- Session 5

**Notes:**
Is the record for the same physical format?
- What you need to know:
- Many serials are issued in multiple formats: print, electronic (CD, online), microform (microfilm, microfiche)
- Often they have the same title
- You will often find many records for the microform version (use the search mechanism in your utility to eliminate these if you are hunting only for the print title)
- Online versions may have their own record or they may may be noted on the print record (if you are cataloging the print title, you can use this record).

- What to look for in the record: (discuss list above)

## Example

**Cover:**
**VANITY FAIR**
**                                                  ****March 1999**
**Table of contents p. 24:**
**VANITY FAIR**
**March 1999  No 463**
**Masthead page: **
**    ****Vanity Fair is published by The Condé Nast **
**        ****Publications, Inc. Condé Nast Building, 350**
**        ****Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017**

- Session 5

**Notes:**

In this case, we are looking for the appropriate record for Vanity Fair.  We have the serial in print.

## Do the Dates Fit?

**What to look for:**
_**Description**_**      ****	****                      **_**MARC Tag**_**	**
**Dates of coverage****	****                     Fixed field dates (008)**

**"Description based on" note****	****500****	**
**Other notes****	****                                5XX****	**

- Session 5

**Notes:**
Does the date of the issue(s) in hand fit within the scope of the record?
- What you need to know:
- Because serials are issued over time they can change their titles and sometimes change back to an original title
 - Just because the title and the publisher are the same does not necessarily mean that the record is appropriate.

- What to look for in the record: 	
- First, look at the fixed field (Dates) and 362 field. In AACR2 records, publication dates may also be found in the 260 subfield $c. (Note that 260 subfield $c is not required in the CONSER standard record guidelines.)
- However, because the description may not be based on the first issue, also look at notes in the record, especially the Description based on note.

- Session 5

**Notes:**
This screen shows that the title was absorbed by Vogue for a certain period, which is explained by the 580 and 785 fields.  However, the title resumed and thus, this is still an active record. The reason why there is no new record is because the absorption was temporary and the resumed serial continued the numbering.

If this were a CONSER standard record:
775 would be coded 775 08 $i Issued... $t Vanity fair Italia
785 04 [even with 580]

## Is the Record AACR2?

**What to look for:**
_**Description**_**      ****	****            **_**MARC Tag**_**	**
**Fixed field: descriptive****	****008, Desc  a (AACR2)**
**cataloging code****	**
**(ISBD punctuation)****	**
**	**

- Session 5

**Notes:**
Is the record AACR2?
- What you need to know:
 	- Many records you will find were created prior to AACR2.
	- In most cases, these are perfectly good records and need not be changed to AACR2.  In some cases, however, they may need to be changed.  (This will be discussed in the next session).

- What to look for in the record:
 	- In the Fixed Field, the code “a” in the “Description” element shows that the record is AACR2
	- ISBD punctuation is also indicative of AACR2 records

**Notes:**
Example: two microfilm records for the same title.
Questions: Is this a serial? Is it AACR2? Is it Successive Entry?
First record is a pre-AACR2 record (partial record).  There are three things that point to this:
     Desc. Is blank rather than a
     S/L  is 1 rather than 0 (1= latest entry)
     The 247 field contains the earlier title.  Latest entry will be discussed later in this session.

**Notes:**
Questions: Is this a serial? Is it AACR2? Is it Successive Entry?

Second record is an AACR2 record (partially displayed).  Note that in this record the Desc. is “a.”  Also, S/L =0 for successive entry and the earlier title has been given in field 780 as a link to the other record.  

A CONSER standard record might have:
Fill characters for FF elements: Conf, Freq, and Regl
245 00 $a Library journal $h [microform]. (other title information not required)
246 13 coding for other acronym that would traditionally be coded in 245 field

## How Authoritative is the Record?

** **CONSER authentication codes (042 field):
- Specific agencies:
- 	**lc****	****Library of Congress**
**             ****lcac****	****LC Annotated Children’s Cataloging Program**
**	****nlc****	****Library and Archives of Canada (formerly**

**                             ****LC Name Authority File**

- Session 5

**Notes:**
How authoritative is the record?
What you need to know:
- The CONSER program has created or authenticated many serial records. LC serial records are all CONSER records.
- The 042 field of a serial record identifies a CONSER-authenticated record. The specific code indicates the level of authentication; it may also show the authenticating agency. This slide and the next show some of the most common codes found in CONSER records.
- Headings in CONSER standard records and (for records created before June 2007) CONSER Full records are all included in the Name Authority File; and descriptive and subject elements have been verified as of the date given in field 936 or 500 “Latest issue consulted” note. 
- However, not all CONSER records have headings fully-backed by authority records. CONSER records coded with 042 msc may contain headings NOT backed by records in the Name Authority File.
- Also: Just because a record is CONSER authenticated does not mean that the record might not need some editing; later changes may have occurred to the serial.

[Trainer’s Note: The PCC Working Group on Authentication Codes and Encoding Levels recommended in fall 2006 that 042 codes “lc” and “lcd” be replaced by “pcc.” This change has not yet been implemented.]

## How Authoritative is the Record?

** **CONSER authentication codes (042 field):
- Other:
-           lccopycat     Library of Congress copy cataloging
- 	premarc      Library of Congress recon record
- 	x ...	  Codes that begin with an "x”
-                         mean the title is not considered
-                         to be a serial or the institution has not
-                         treated it as a serial

- Session 5

**Notes:**
You may find a code, such as “xlc” on a record for a monographic series or a conference publication.  In this case, the code means that LC does not treat this title as a serial.  It does not mean that it isn’t a serial and that another CONSER cataloger might want to create a serial record for it.

**What to look for:**
**  ****LCCN (010 field):**

- Session 5

**Notes:**
How authoritative is the record?
In addition to an 042 authentication code, each CONSER record will have a Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) in an 010 field. This slide shows some aspects of coding the LCCN.

## What Else?

**            **

- Session 5

**Notes:**
What else should the cataloger consider?
 - What you need to know:
	-- Not all serial or CONSER records will contain a call number and subject headings.  Many CONSER records are those created by the ISSN center.  You may need to add subject elements, as appropriate.
	-- Serial records often contain links to earlier or later titles and your span of issues may include one of these titles.
	-- Serial records also often have links to other related records, such as supplements, translations, language editions, and other physical formats.  Do you also have one of these titles in your collection?  Would you need to edit these records as well?
- What to look for in the record: In considering whether a record can be used as-is or whether it will need enhancement, check for subject analysis (call numbers, subject headings) and relationships (earlier, later, and related titles)

- 042  --   $a msc
- 245  00  $a IT professional magazine.**  **

- Session 5

**Notes:**
Example: National Serials Data Program (NSDP) prepublication record.  What codes do you notice, in this record?

The Fixed Field Elvl code is ‘8’ for a pre-publication record and that the 040 has the code “NSD” for NSDP. 
   Also: As of Dec. 2007, NSDP pre-publication records still reflect Freq/Regl codes.
   Examples: OCLC# 180765890, 182762218
Those familiar with monograph cataloging could compare NSDP pre-publication records with “Cataloging in Publication” records for books.
042: Code msc is used by NSDP in all prepub records because headings are not checked in these records.

Trainer’s note: NSDP is the center that assigns ISSNs for serials and other continuing resources published in the U.S.

- 710  2-  $a Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.**  **
**936  --  $a PREPUB: publication expected: Jan. 1999****  **

- Session 5

**Notes:**
The note in field 936 (CONSER note field) explains that this is a record created prior to publication for the purposes of assigning the ISSN.  Field 263 contains the expected date of publication. 

Note: This pre-publication record is an example of a CONSER record that is NOT a CONSER standard record. (It is not a CONSER Standard Record because the access points are not necessarily backed by authority records.) However, it does follow the CSR coding for the fixed field.

## Pre-AACR2 Caveats

**Truncated titles:**
- On piece:
- Annual report.
- Quarterly statistics of the Finance Department.
**Transcription:****	**
- Report.
- Statistics.
**Initialisms:**
- 245  00  $a GQ, Gentleman’s quarterly.

- Session 5

**Notes:**
 Pre-AACR2 and Latest Entry Records
- If the copy you find is coded as pre-AACR2, note that the rules for choice of entry, descriptive cataloging (including title transcription), punctuation, capitalization and bracketing were quite different.
- Some typical differences:
Titles were often truncated to omit frequency statements and corporate body names when the same body was also the main entry.  For example,
On piece:				Transcription:
Annual  report			Report.
Quarterly statistics of the Finance Dept.		Statistics.
	Note that this affects search strategies in both the local OPAC and in a utility such as OCLC.
After 1975, if a piece contained both an initialism and a full form of the title, both were included in the title proper.  The initialism appeared first separated from the full title by a comma.  For example,
		245 00 $a GQ, Gentleman’s quarterly.
   [Trainer’s note: For more information, see: CONSER Cataloging Manual 22.4.e]

## More Pre-AACR2 Caveats

**Use of the 247 for slight title variations:**
- 245  00  $a Bulletin - Council on Library Resources.
-   01  $a Bulletin of the Council on Library Resources
- 500   --   $a Title varies slightly.

- Session 5

**Notes:**
Rarely, some AACR successive entry records may contain a 247 field (former title or title variations) for slight variations in the title proper.  For example,
	245 00 $a Bulletin – Council on Library  Resources.
	247 01 $a Bulletin of the Council on Library Resources
	500 --  $a Title varies slightly.

- In the history of online serials cataloging there are two main sets of rules that have been employed to describe and maintain the bibliographic histories of serial titles.  They are: latest entry cataloging (coded in fixed field 008 S/L as “l”) and successive entry cataloging (coded in fixed field 008 S/L as “0”) 
- There are MARC records in most utilities and systems created according to both of these conventions.

## Latest Entry Records

- Description is based on latest issue
- Earlier title changes are included in 247 fields
- Earlier issuing bodies in 550 note
- New records created for mergers and splits

- Session 5

**Notes:**
Latest entry records:
Latest entry records describe the bibliographic history of a serial in fewer records since the occasions when a new record was called for were far more limited.
When a title changed, the record was revised so that entry was under the latest title with earlier titles accounted for in 247 fields.
Records for serials entered under corporate bodies likewise were revised to reflect the latest corporate body when the body changed.
A new record was created to handle title mergers and splits.
The next slide is an example of a latest entry record (some tags omitted).

**Notes:**

If you use pre-AACR2 copy, consult your local standards for editing copy.

## Summary

- When selecting copy, look for:
- Physical format
- AACR2 descriptive conventions
- Successive entry cataloging
- In comparing records, look for:
- ISSN
- Title proper and dates
- Publication information
- CONSER-authenticated copy

- Session 5

**Notes:**
SummarySelect serial copy based on:
	- physical format
	- AACR2 descriptive conventions, 
	- successive entry cataloging, including linking entries for earlier/later titles

	- ISSN
	- title proper & numeric and/or chronological designations
	- publication information, as well as statement of responsibility and/or issuing body notes
	- publication dates

CONSER authenticated copy is often the best choice.
Be aware of the major pre-AACR2 serials cataloging conventions and your local  policies for adapting/editing records created using them.
[For those cataloging e-serials: Be aware of the various ways of handling electronic journals well as your local policies]

## Additional Slides (Related to OCLC)

- Session 5

## Other: Parallel Language Record (OCLC)

- Session 5

**Notes:**
(Optional: after slide 34)
If you are an OCLC user, then be aware of OCLC’s partnerships with vendors and others who catalog in other languages. In the case of “Today’s cinema,” the serial is in English. But the language of cataloging is Dutch.
Look for: 040 #b    for the language code.
Other Clues:
FF codes may be unexpected, e.g., according to this record, the serial has ceased. That is consistent with the 260 field. But do not be surprised if the issues in hand contradict this information.
When you find parallel language records, continue searching—you may also find English-language records. If this is the only record, then either create an original record or derive a record. Link your record to the non-English record with a 936 field. 
In the future, OCLC plans to migrate these records to Institutional Records based in part on the 936 fields. That will make these records easier to distinguish from other records.

## Other: Institutional Records (OCLC)

- Session 5

**Notes:**
(Optional:after slide 34)
Beginning in 2006, two large databases of records merged: OCLC and RLIN. As part of that merger, OCLC was restructured. In the past, OCLC strove to include one record to represent each work. This was termed the “Master Record” concept. Now, libraries may retain the individual view of their own bibliographic records. These institution-specific records are called “Institutional Records.” 
Points: You may find additional information on these Institutional Records; however, you will need to evaluate the information against the master record and other records in OCLC. For example, the master record may show that a serial has ceased; the Institutional Record may still be open.

## Session 5 Exercises

- Session 5

**Notes:**
Instructions for Exercises
Compare the bibliographic information about the issue in hand given in the following pages with the copy provided.  The copy may not include all MARC tags.  
Trainers: please note that those parts of the record corresponding to the criteria for evaluating copy are indicated in bold face in the copy.
Trainers: examples 1-3 are relatively easy.  Numbers 4-7 are more complicated.
