AV material enumeration

All multi-part videos, CDs, and cassettes that circulate individually should be assigned lower case letters of the alphabet (a-i, k, m-z) for enumeration.  The letters J and L should remain upper case so that they are more easily discernable on the material. This designation should appear on the material, in the 866 field of the holdings record and in the enumeration box of the item record.

 

Multi-part videos, CDs and cassettes that are packaged as a whole and circulate as a whole will not be assigned enumeration. These multi-part units will have a summary list of the items in the box, but no indication of separate enumeration online or on the individual item labels.

AV Items

Some videos, CDs or other AV items may have multiple parts that are not barcoded. This may include guides or paperback supplements. The individual updating the printout for these items will print a copy of the Holdings record and list the unbarcoded parts on the bottom of that printout. Processing will use this information to list these unbarcoded accompanying materials on a label placed near the barcode. The main cataloged item should be listed first. For example:

 

1 video
1 guide


E-books

Electronic books will automatically be added to our catalog as we gain access to them. The latest records were loaded from NetLibrary. We bear no responsibility for maintaining the Bibliographic , Holding, or Item records for these items. Each electronic book has a separate bibliographic record even if we own an identical print copy of the item.


Titles with online and print subscriptions

Titles for which we carry online and print subscriptions will be cataloged using the bibliographic record for the print version.

This single bibliographic record will have two MFHDs.  One of the MFHDs displayed in the OPAC will be for the online access to the title. The other MFHD displayed in the OPAC will be for the print version of the title.

The print version of the title will be cataloged by the individual responsible for cataloging the type of material (serial, monograph, etc.). The Holding and Item records for the print version will also be entered following the usual procedures.

The Catalog Librarian responsible for cataloging Serials will add the electronic holdings information in a separate MFHD attached to the bibliographic record.

IF the print title ceases to be updated, then the most current electronic holdings will be entered using a separate bibliographic record. Any decision to replace these records will be made following the usual serials management procedures.
