BIBCO at PrincetonAs of June 15, 1998, we can begin coding selected bibliographic records from new cataloging as BIBCO records. This includes both original and member copy.We will continue to perform full-level cataloging as before. The only requirement that differs from our current full-level cataloging standard is that the record MUST contain a 050 field (or at least the subfield "a" portion of an LC call number). Subject headings must be in accord with LCSH with respect to form of heading and order of subdivisions. Headings such as family names, buildings, etc. that are not established MUST be submitted to SACO. When upgrading member copy, check for the presence of a subfield b in the 040 field and delete it when present. Because of the requirement that all access points be under national-level authority control, i.e. have a corresponding full-level NAF record, we will not code records in the following categories:
How to code a BIBCO recordWhen cataloging in Voyager, the 008 fixed field "Cataloging Source" code should be "c" rather than "d". Also input an 042 field with indicators blank, and the lower case code "pcc" as in the following example: 040 NICcNICdNjP |
