Fields that should appear in a streaming media record that may differ from physical media
- Change fixed field Form to o for online.
- 006 m c
- 007 v $b z $d c $e z $f a $g z $h u (The subfield "d" describes a multicolor item. It can be adjusted if that does not adequately describe your item. "b" = black-and-white ; "m" = mixed)
- 007 c $b r $d c $e n $f a (This describes a multicolor item with sound. If your video is black and white and/or has no sound, make the necessary changes)
- 300 1 online resource (length of video) : $b sound, color (if your resource has sound and color)
- 336 two-dimensional moving image $b tdi $2 rdacontent

- 655 \0 Streaming video
- 776 08 If the item exists in another format (often DVD), add the appropriate 776.
- 856 $u URL
  - If the URL requires a proxy upload to OCLC without the proxy
  - If it seems helpful/relevant, a subfield "z" can be added to identify the host of the file (e.g. $z Films Media Group)
Item level values for a streaming file in SIRSI
- Library: ONLINE
- Location: NET
- Item Type: VID-STREAM
- If the video is freely available, then Item Cat2: OPENACCESS

Locally Hosted Streaming Video

Definition: NCSU hosts the streaming video. The URL will point to an NCSU Internet address.

Marc file of locally hosted streaming video as of 12/03/2018 NCSUStreamingMedia12032018

* If the video was digitized from a DVD, the DVD should already be cataloged and processed (though holdings may not yet be represented in OCLC, depending on the time of the month).

In Connexion, identify the record for the DVD.
Follow the given URL for the streaming media file and determine the running time. The running time should be within two minutes of the running time listed in the DVD record. If not, refer it back to Keith Morgan (RIS) to make certain there was no error in creating the digital file.
Derive a new record.
Apply Constant Data: Local Streaming Media (it will apply only variable fields)
FYI: Constant Data will apply:
- 006 m c
- 007 v $b z $d c $e z $f a $g z $h u
- 007 c $b r $d c $e n $f a
- 300 1 online resource
- 500 Description based on DVD version record.
- 776 08 $i DVD version: ...
- 999 fields with instructions what to change in bib record.
Do the following things all of which are specified in the Constant Data 999 fields:
- Change fixed field Form to s for electronic.
- Delete the 007 that refers to the DVD i.e. subfield a is coded v ; subfield b is coded d. v $b d
- Change the 245 GMD to $h [~reloomis:electronic resource]
- Insert time into streaming media 300 and confirm (or edit) sound, color, etc, so that it matches the original 300.
- Delete original 300 for DVD
- Delete original 538 for DVD (if you see other fields that are relevant only to the DVD version, e.g. 655 /0 DVDs, you can delete those too).
- In 776, copy and paste the OCLC number from the original DVD record into the 776 field. Then right click in the 776 field and choose "Insert from cited record" – the system should fill in the appropriate DVD fields. Then add at the very beginning of the field in subfield i: DVD version:
  - OCLC specific macro named OCLCDVDversion.mex created on G drive.
  - If you need help importing or exporting a macro, *click here.
  - Everyone has their preferred way of editing. Some like to add a blank 776 08 field below the constant data's 776 08 and use the constant data field as a cue for what needs to be done. They may use the macro. Others won't -- it's all good.
- Delete the 999s
- Add 655 \0 |aStreaming video.
- Update the record in OCLC.
- Add 856 to record after adding it to OCLC: 856 40 |u [paste in <span style="color: #000000">the</span> url from title list supplied] then add |yView resource online (NCSU only)
- Remember that the dagger subfield symbol is denoted as the $ sign on Confluence pages.

Export your record to Symphony.
- Overlay the order record and load the call number info. into the item record on import.
  - If there is no order record to overlay, please let Becky know and she will fix the order situation.
  - Make sure the record is not shadowed (early order records may have been shadowed)
    - Macro named $yView resource created on G drive.
    - If you need help importing or exporting a macro, click here.
    - If a record will contain multiple 856s, or if the link supplied only applies to part of the item described in the record, add uniquely identifying information to a $z (title, volume, part, etc.):
    - Examples:
      - 856 40 $uhttp://media.lib.ncsu.edu/libVideo/auth/view/583/$zPart 1$yView resource online (NCSU only)
      - 856 40 $uhttp://media.lib.ncsu.edu/libVideo/auth/view/453/$zWaiting for Godot$yView resource online (NCSU only)
- Item level information should already be present in the order record, but if it is not, use these values
  - Library: ONLINE
  - Location: NET
  - Item Type: VID-STREAM
- If the record has a current location of IN-PROCESS, discharge the auto-generated barcode to clear the IN-PROCESS status.
  Discharging IN-PROCESS items
  
  1. Grab the barcode from the item record
  2. Click Circulation
  3. Click Discharging
  4. Paste in the barcode.

Mark the spreadsheet complete
- File @ g:/Streaming Media/NCSU online video.xls & navigate to the columns at the end.
  - Cataloging Complete: type "complete"
  - CATKEY: Insert 918 from bib. record
  - URL: Insert 856 from bib. record

Streaming Audio

OLAC considers media files that download in their entirety to a local disk drive and do not progressively load portions of the file into a buffer to be non-streaming media. NCSU does not make this distinction. If the audio file is available online, we consider it a streaming audio for local cataloging purposes. Do NOT create an OCLC streaming audio file record for these resources (in order of preference):

Export an existing OCLC streaming audio file for the resource and perform local edits as needed in Sirsi
Export an existing OCLC sound recording file for the resouce and edit the record to conform to streaming audio
