Note: Only retain, edit and/or add MARC holdings records for physical items. (There should be no MARC holdings records for online resources.)
h5 1. Review the fixed field data.
- For new MARC Holdings records, the default values will be automatically filled in. For printed serials, these are:
- The fixed field data for a currently received print serial that the library purchases should look like this:
- See MFHD fixed-field material codes for a brief description of each of the fixed field elements and their values as used at NCSU Libraries. A more detailed listing can be found on the MARC Holdings website http://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd008.html.
h5 2. Review the variable data.
- *Add 007 tag for material format: format examples include print, CD-ROMs, Microfiche and Microfilm.
- 852 subfield z (public) notes. Add notes in separate |z notes. Do not combined in a single |z note.
|zCurrently received.
|zNot currently received.
|zLibrary has current issues only.
|zLibrary keeps current issues until microform arrives.
|zLibrary keeps current issues for time.
|zCurrent issues kept until bound for branch.
|zNewspaper Section. |zLibrary keeps current issues for time.
|zNewest issues located in the current periodicals shelving area.
|zIncludes new title, Title.|zNot currently received.
|zIncludes former title, Title.|zNewest issues located in the current periodicals shelving area.
|zIncludes index for, Title.|zNewest issues located in the current periodicals shelving area.
|zFilmed with title.|zNewest issues located in the current periodicals shelving area.
|zShelved with title. |zNewest issues located in the current periodicals shelving area.
|zNewest issues located in Reference.
|zLatest volume only in Reference.
|zLatest year only in Reference (substitute branch, etc.) earlier years in Hill (substitute branch, etc.) bookstacks.
|zBeginning with v.XX (yyyy), each volume in series cataloged separately.
|zBeginning with yyyy, volumes are cataloged as separate books under author or title.
- For Microform MARC holdings (Microfiche and Microfilm) use only following notes:
|zNot currently received.
|zCurrently received.
- For the Design Library MARC holdings, use only the following notes as appropriate:
|zNewest issues located in the current periodicals shelving area.
|zCurrent issues kept until bound for Hill.
|zNot currently received.
|zCurrently received.
- For the NRL and VetMed Libraries MARC holdings, use only the following notes as appropriate:
|zNewest issues located in the current periodicals shelving area.
|zOlder issues shelved in the bound periodicals area.
|zCurrent issues kept until bound for Hill (substitute branch, etc.) bookstacks.
3. Review the following areas of the MFHD:
- Catalogers may need to remove the link to Serials control by deleting the |= information and related |x. Also remove the copy number |x.
- Leave the 853 tags as they are, but do not copy them to any added MFHD's
- Leave any 901 tags as they are, but do not copy them to any added MFHD's
- Call numbers with two cutters should follow this format: |hBV630.A1|iJ6. The main part of the classification number should be in |h, while the 2nd cutter should be in |i. An example of a call number in the wrong format is below:
852 0_ |cSTACKS|hNA2300|i.I59 C672
should be:
852 0_ |cSTACKS|hNA2300.I59|i.C672
- FORMAT FOR 866 HOLDINGS STATEMENT: Based on feedback from public services and time/benefit studies, we use open-ended holdings statements rather than detailed issue listings. We simplify the statements by using only the highest level of enumeration necessary for easily understood holdings. We will continue to record more than one level of enumeration when a title adds a level, for examples by adding a series number (see example below). Update holdings for all copies, including Branch copies.
Note:
- Catalogers should add spaces after commas and semicolons and before parentheses. No spaces before or after a colon, hyphen, or period. More information about punctuation in extent of holdings statements is presented on a separate page on this site. NCSU practice diverges slightly from the spacing policy established by
ANSI/NISO Z39.71, for which a link is provided from the Extent of Holdings page.
866 1 |80|av.1 (1933)-
866 1 |80|a:v.1 (1947)-v.5 (1952); ser.2:v.1 (1953)-
Note:
- It is important to look at the 362 enumeration/chronology format for MARC holdings, which will often differ from the format shown in the Unicorn volume/item records. If the 362 says in a formatted note: "Issue 01 (Dec. '03)-", then our holdings might look like the following example (note that we abbreviate "Issue"). Convert all numeric information, such as Roman numerals, to Arabic numerals in the MARC holdings statement.
866 1 |80|aiss.1 (2003)-iss.3 (2004)
Not like this:
866 1 |80|ano. 1-3
For an issue with an enumeration/chronology from 362 of "1/2007-":
866 1 |80|a2007:1-
For a break that starts with an incomplete volume:
866 1 |80|av.2 (1971)-v.32 (2002), v.34:no.2 (2004)-v.35 (2005)
Not two 866s:
866 1 |80|av.2-32 (1971-2002)866 1 |80|av.34:no.2-4 (2004) - v.35 (2005)(You can't use more than one hyphen within a run)
- TITLE WITH ONLY UNBOUND ISSUES: For newer titles where no issues have yet been bound, begin the holdings statement with the first issue we have received.
866 1 |80|av.1:no.1 (2005)-
- GAPS: We no longer include gaps; instead, include the available starting and ending ranges (or the start date with a hyphen) followed by "|zIssues missing." in the 866 note.
866: 1:|80|av.1 (1942)-v.68 (1990)|zIssues missing.
866: 1:|80|av.1 (1942)-|zIssues missing.
- SUPPLEMENTS Supplement information is no longer included in holdings information
- CUMULATIVE INDEXES: We will continue to have closed holdings for indexes.
868: 1:|80|av.72/81 (1980/1984)-v.82/91 (1985/1989)
- MICROFORMS: We will continue to have closed holdings for microforms.
866: 1:|80|av.1 (1980)-v.25 (2004)
4. Go to the OPAC to determine which volumes have been received and bound.
- Summarize in the 866 and 868. The last character should be a hyphen for all currently received titles. Remember that item records do not always display in the correct order.
- Delete all 863 fields.
- The MARC Holdings record for a currently received print serial that the library purchases should look something like this: Please note that for currently received, bound volumes, we are eliminating secondary levels of enumeration (i.e. no.1) in order to simplify the display.
Label and Punctuation Questions
If you have a question, or there is a discrepancy, in the way that labels such as "ed.", "vol.", etc. have been applied, please follow the labels that were used in field 362 in the bibliographic record. Please refer to Punctuation and Abbreviations for use in Holding Statements.
