_____ 300 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AREA.  This area is left incomplete on CIP; the cataloger needs to complete it as indicated.

_____ 300 ‡a. EXTENT.

AACR2 2.5B1. "Give the number of pages or leaves in a publication in accordance with the terminology suggested by the volume."

The most common terms are: 

For unnumbered leaves of plates, see 2.5B9.

AACR2 2.5B2. "Give the last numbered page, leaf ... in each sequence and follow it with the appropriate term or abbreviation."

300			‡a 292 p. ...	146 leaves printed on both sides, with page numbers 1 through 292 [LCCN 2002397691]
300			‡a lxvi leaves ...	66 leaves printed only on one side, with leaves numbered i through lxvi [LCCN 79385152]
300			‡a x, 253 p. ...	last numbered page in roman numerals sequence and in the Arabic numbers sequence [LCCN 98120911]
300			‡a v, 27 p., 4 folded leaves of plates ...	last numbered leaf in roman numerals sequence, last numbered page in Arabic numbers sequence, & last numbered, folded plate printed on only one side [LCCN 2001387370]

TOP

AACR2 2.5B5. "If the numbering within a sequence changes (e.g. from roman to Arabic numerals), ignore the numbering of the first part of the sequence."

Pages on the item are numbered: i-xii, 13-176

TRANSCRIBE AS: 

300

‡a 176 p. ...

AACR2 2.5B7. Unpaged books. Follow the LC rule interpretation: "Except for rare books ... record the extent statement as":

300

‡a 1 v. (unpaged) ...

AACR2 2.5B8. Follow the LC rule interpretation. "If the volume has complicated or irregular paging, [use]":  1 v. (various pagings)

Pages on the item are:  i-x, 1-40, 1-10, 1-20, 1-8

TRANSCRIBE AS:

AACR2 2.5B9. Leaves or pages of plates.  Plate = a leaf containing illustrative matter, with or without explanatory text, that does not form part of either the preliminary or the main sequence of pages or leaves. "Give the number of leaves or pages of plates at the end of the sequence of pagination, whether the plates are found together or distributed throughout the publication, or even if there is only one plate."

But LC practice is to give the number of leaves/pages of plates only if the leaves/pages are numbered, or if the plates clearly represent an important feature of the book. Follow LC practice. (Special collection units such as British Art Reference are free to deviate from LC practice and always record plates.)

EXAMPLE 1: Illustrations are on both sides of the plates, therefore use "p. [pages] of plates." The pages of plates in this book are numbered; therefore plate numbering ("32") is not in brackets. The numbering of pages of plates refers to page numbering, not illustration numbering, even when illustrations are labeled "plate 1.," "plate 2.," etc. You could have 10 pages of plates with 2 illustrations to the page, each illustration labeled plate 1, plate 2, etc. You would have 20 plates according to the labels, but what you record in the 300 field is still "[10] p. of plates." If you record the number of plates in ‡a, you must in addition record ill. in the ‡b subfield. 

300

‡a 246 p., 32 p. of plates : ‡b ill. ; ‡c 24 cm.

EXAMPLE 2. A situation where unnumbered the plates represent an important feature of the book. In this example, the unnumbered plates are at the end of the book and represent about 25-40% of the total pagination depending on whether they are counted as leaves or pages. Because the unnumbered illustrations are on only one side of the plates (the other side of each plate is blank), the cataloger uses leaves (not abbreviated). Because the leaves of plates were not numbered, the number of leaves of plates--"[50]"--is bracketed.

300

‡a ix, 152 p., [50] leaves of plates : ‡b ill. ...

EXAMPLE 3. In this case, there are more unnumbered plates than numbered pages, so it makes sense to record the plates. The cataloger uses "p. of plates" here because the illustrations are on both sides of each leaf.

300

‡a 16 p., [30] p. of plates : ‡b col. ill. ...

EXAMPLE 4. If unnumbered plates are distributed throughout the publication, they generally are not worth counting, but you still need to record ill. in ‡b. (Again, note that special collection units will generally count plates in this situation.)

300

‡a ix, 152 p. : ‡b ill. ...

REMINDER: If you record plates in 300, you must remember to click on the 008 fixed field button, select the Illustrations box and select "f". If unnumbered plates are not recorded in 300, "f" is not selected in 008 (but "a" should be selected since "ill." has been entered in subfield b.

AACR2 2.5B10. If the leaves are folded, this is indicated in $a. (Record folded leaves of plates even in situations where it would not be LC practice to count plates.)

‡a 405 p., [4] folded leaves of plates : ‡b ill., col. maps ; ‡c 23 cm.

AACR2 2.5B16. Publications in more than one volume. On completed LC records, a multipart monograph is readily apparent, since volumes or some term other than pages is used to describe extent. On CIP, with a blank 300 field, and only one volume in hand, an mpm may be somewhat easier to miss. Watch out for volume designations, but do not confuse with the volume designation for the series. "Give the number of volumes of a printed monograph in more than one physical volume." Note that if a multipart has plates, these are not recorded as plates in the pagination subfield, although "ill." must be used in the ‡b subfield.

300

‡a 3 v. : ‡b ill. ; ‡c 24 cm.

AACR2 2.5B17. Use special terms Case or Portfolio when loose, unbound material is issued in a container. A portfolio is a case consisting of 2 covers joined at the back and tied at the front, top, and/or the bottom. The extent (number of pieces, plates, etc. in the container) can be recorded in a note if considered to be important.

LCCN 94072173

300

‡a 8 v. in 5 : ‡b ill. ; ‡c 21 cm.

AACR2 2.5B19. If a set of volumes is continuously paged, give the pagination in parentheses after the number of volumes. Ignore separately paged sequences of preliminary matter in volumes other than the first.

BOOK: Vol. 1: xxxi,  1-450 p. Vol. 2: 451-999 p.

300

‡a 3 v. (xx, 800 p.) ; ‡c 27 cm.

TOP

If the multipart set is incomplete, volumes held are not recorded in 300. Actual volumes held are always recorded in the MFHD (MARC FORMAT for HOLDINGS DATA) for the copy, whether or not the set is complete. Ongoing multiparts (complete set has not been published or set described is complete but set in hand is not) are usually handled by specialists.

300			‡a v. : ‡b ill. ; ‡c 27 cm.
300			‡a v. in : ‡b ill. ; ‡c 28 cm.

 

Note that fully cataloged LC records for multiparts reflect LC practice of recording incomplete volume holdings in 300 in angle brackets; catalogers should delete this information from the bibliographic record since YUL does not follow LC practice here.

‡a xx, 33 p., [4] p. of plates : ‡b ill. ; ‡c 22 cm.

AACR2 2.5C1, 2.5C2. Follow the LC rule interpretation. "Describe an illustrated printed monograph as 'ill.' in all cases unless there are maps present or 2.5C5 is applicable."* Note that tables containing only words or numbers are not considered illustrations. Disregard illustrated title pages and minor illustrations.

*Following LCRI 2.5C5 should be considered optional.

If "ill." is recorded, be sure code "a" has been entered in the 008 Illustrations fixed field. Code both a and b if maps are also recorded.

AACR2 2.5C3. Describe colored illustrations if considered to be important. The underlined section is new in 2005; note that a colored illustration is "an illustration containing any color," but black, white, and shades of gray are not considered to be colors in AACR2/rev. (But a black and red illustration is a colored illustration)

AACR2 2.5C4. If the illustrations are numbered in the publication, record the numbering.

300

‡a 287 p. : ‡b 16 ill. ; ‡c 25 cm.

AACR2 2.5C5. If the publication consists wholly or predominantly of illustrations, give all ill. or chiefly ill., as appropriate.

Optionally, you can follow this LC practice: If those illustrations are all of one type, give all [name of type] or chiefly [name of type].

REMEMBER: the illustration terms are only used if they are all of one type and the publication is wholly or mostly illustrations and you decide to follow the option; if they are of various types, or if the item is not predominantly illustrations, just use ill. (or ill., maps).

300			‡a 1 v. (unpaged) : ‡b all ill. ; ‡c 27 cm.
300			‡a xii, 226 p. : ‡b chiefly ports. ; ‡c 29 cm.

Note that if the publication is wholly or mostly maps, the item to be cataloged is probably an atlas, and the cataloging rules for books are not applied. For example, the 300 should begin "1 atlas." CAUTION: use of the term "atlas" in the title does not always mean that the item is cataloged using the cartographic rules. However, if the item to be cataloged appears to be an atlas, it should be referred to a map cataloging specialist.

Music scores are out of scope for CIP, but for the record, if the publication is wholly or mostly music, the item to be cataloged is probably a score, and the cataloging rules for books are not applied. If the item to be cataloged is mostly music, it should be referred to a music cataloging specialist. For the scope of the CIP program, see:

http://cip.loc.gov/scope.html

REMINDER: if a specific illustration type is recorded in subfield b, then the 008 Illustrations fixed field code(s) must also be specific; again, recording an illustration type other than maps is optional, and even then is applied only in very restricted situations! Valid AACR2 illustration types (use the abbreviations as given in the table) and their corresponding MARC21 008 codes:

Type of illustration	Code
charts	d
coats of arms	i
facsims.	h
forms	k
geneal. tables	j
maps	b
music	g
plans	e
ports.	c
samples	l

NOTE: Plates are indicated in subfield a but are coded (f) in the 008 Illustrations fixed field.

NOTE: The list of illustration types is from AACR2 2.5C2. Note that AACR2 says that if none of the terms adequately describes the illustrations, a more appropriate term (e.g. computer drawings) may be used. In this situation, you should run it by your supervisor.

AACR2 2.5C6. If illustrative matter is issued in a pocket inside the cover of an item, use "ill." in 300 & add a note.

300			‡a xli, 13 p. : ‡b ill. ; ‡c 18 cm.
500			‡a Four maps on 2 folded leaves in pocket.

Note that when a number is the first word of a note, the number is written out, but that otherwise Arabic numerals are used in notes.

SML practice: books with loose plates are cataloged for muddzeta.

_____ 300 SUBFIELD c. AACR2 2.5D.  DIMENSIONS. On Voyager, enter as space - semicolon - ‡c (Voyager will supply a space before and after ‡c automatically).

300

‡a 1 v. (unpaged) ; ‡c 25 cm.

AACR2 2.5D1. Give the height of the book in centimeters; round up to the next whole centimeter, e.g. if a volume measures 17.2 centimeters, record it as 18 cm. If the volume is less than 10 cm., check with your supervisor. (SML has special rules for miniature books.) Use the abbreviation cm. for centimeters. There should be a space between the last digit and cm.

AACR2 2.5D2. If the width of the volume is either less than half the height or greater than the height, give in the form <height> x <width>

Width is less than half the height:

300

‡a 1 v. (unpaged) ; ‡c 20 x 8 cm.

Width is greater than the height:

300

‡a 1 v. (various pagings) ; ‡c 20 x 32 cm.

HISTORICAL NOTE FOR SML CATALOGERS. When SML Yale cataloging used OCLC to generate catalog cards, catalogers would record widths of 20 or more cm. after the multiplication sign (e.g. 25 x 22 cm.). This told the OCLC card production program to supply a + (oversize) symbol in the call number of the printed card. DO NOT DO THIS ON ORBIS. On Orbis, the SML cataloger must supply the plus (+) sign following the last element of the call number, followed by "‡m Oversize" in the Orbis record holdings. See (MFHD Local: SML) Oversize.

EXAMPLE:

852

0

0

‡b sml ‡h HD8700.6 ‡i C48X 1988 (LC)+ ‡m Oversize

AACR2 2.5D3. If the volumes in a multivolume set differ in height and the difference is more than two centimeters, give the smallest size and the largest size, separated by a hyphen.

_____ 4XX/8XX FIELDS. 4xx is used to transcribe the series as it appears on the item. If the series as it appears on the item differs from the established form of the series, the 8xx field is used for the established form of the series. For tagging patterns, refer to SERIES TAGGING below. The established form of the series should be on a series authority record (SAR).

SERIES TRANSCRIPTION. With series in CIP records, there are 4 potential transcription problems:

1. Series is on the bibliographic record, but is not on the item.
2. Series is on the bibliographic record but does not match the form of the series as it appears on the item.
3. Series is on the item, but is not recorded in the bibliographic record.
4. What appears to be a series is a series-like phrase and should not be recorded in 4xx.

1. Series is not on the item. If the series recorded in 4xx/8xx is not on the item, it should be deleted from the bibliographic record. If a series has been recorded in the MARC CIP 4xx but only appears in the CIP block on the item in hand, the series should be deleted from the record. (LCRI 1.6 Series Statement Present Only in Cataloging Data/Bibliography) Consult with your supervisor before deleting a 4xx from a CIP record.

2. Form of series on the bibliographic record 4xx does not match the form of the series on the item in hand. Modify the bibliographic record 4xx to match the form of the series on the item. If the modified form is not the established form, add an 8xx field if necessary. For guidelines on tagging, see SERIES TAGGING below. Consult with your supervisor when modifying the form of the series in 4xx.

3. Series not recorded on bibliographic record. Check the title page, the pages preceding the title page, the verso of the title page (except the CIP block), the cover, and the pages at the end of the book for series. If a series is found, transcribe it (see instructions below). If the series only appears on the item in the CIP block (usually on the verso t.p., sometimes at the end of the book), do not transcribe the series in 4xx.

If the series appears on the book jacket only, check with your supervisor (LCRI 1.6A2 Other Sources for Series Statements).

If it is necessary to transcribe the series statement in the bibliographic record, the series should be recorded in a 4xx field as it appears on the book. Guidelines:

• transcribe the series as you would a title in 245
• capitalize only the first letter of the series and the first letter of proper names: Studies in Hawaiian history series
• if the first word of the series is an article, the article should be transcribed
• if the transcribed form of the series differs from the established form of the series, use the SERIES TRACED DIFFERENTLY pattern described in the SERIES TAGGING section below.

Precede volume number with space - semicolon ‡v. If there is a caption, check the authority record or other bibliographic records for the correct abbreviation. If no authority record is found, check with your supervisor.

4XX	X	X	‡a American academy of religion academy series ; ‡v no. 84
4XX	X	X	‡a Literary studies--East and West ; ‡v v. 12
4XX	X	X	‡a Architecture & design library
4XX	X	X	‡a The best of long range planning ; ‡v 2nd ser., no. 3

Do not enclose the series statement in parentheses. (In the printed CIP block on the t.p. verso, the series statement will appear in parentheses, but parentheses are not used in the MARC record.)

If the series has an  ISSN number, transcribe it following comma ‡x:

4XX

X

X

‡a Art reference collection, ‡x 0193-6867 ; ‡v no. 26

4. Series-like phrase. These phrases are not considered to be series. Sometimes these phrases are recorded in a note; sometimes these phrases are included in 260 as part of the publisher statement; sometimes these phrases are not recorded at all. Some examples of series-like phrases, mostly from the Library of Congress rule interpretations:

An American Astronautical Society Publication <not a series if the phrase repeats the name of a non-commercial issuing body and is not numbered; considered a series if numbered>

Bulfinch Press book <the phrase essentially repeats the name of a commercial publisher or a sub-imprint of the publisher; not considered a series even if numbered>

An Interscience publication <names of publisher subsidiaries are not considered series; Interscience publications are a subsidiary of Wiley Publications>

A Helen and Kurt Wolff book <in-house editor imprints are not considered series>

UC-13 <numbers alone are not considered series>

Workers of the World, Unite! <slogans are not considered series>

Booker Prize 2005 <names of prizes are not considered series>

Terms on the back cover the publisher includes to facilitate shelving in bookstores, such as "Novel," "Mystery," "Contemporary history" and so on, if unnumbered.

For most series-like phrases encountered on books with CIP cataloging:

• the series-like phrase will have an authority record, but the authority record will only be in LCDB.
• in the 008 window, the Type of series will be c: Series-like phrase.
• the series authority record for a series-like phrase will not have fields 644/645/646.
• there may be instructions in the series authority record about how to handle the phrase, e.g. Give as a quoted note if name does not appear in the publication, etc., area.

Generally LC will not record a series-like phrase in 4xx. If there is no 4xx, and you are in doubt whether to handle the phrase as a true series or a series-like phrase, consult with your supervisor.

SERIES AUTHORITY. Always check Orbis to see whether the series is classed together or classed separately (classed individually).

Use the "Retrieve Authorities" option from the Voyager Record menu to access the authority record. If it is necessary to search Orbis or LCDB, use non-keyword search Staff Title Headings Search to retrieve the authority record.

If there is no Yale decision re classed together/classed separately on the authority record,  check in Web Voyage for local practice. If there is no evidence of local practice, i.e., if you are cataloging the first title in the series, accept the LC decision.

SERIES TAGGING. The three basic tagging patterns for series are:

1. SERIES TRACED THE SAME. Series title is transcribed in 4xx and is searchable as it appears on the book.

440

0

‡a American poets' continuum series ; ‡v v. 40

If there is an article at the beginning of the title, transcribe it and enter a filing indicator in the second indicator cell.

440

4

‡a The best of British in old photographs

2. SERIES TRACED DIFFERENTLY. Series title is searchable in a form different from the way it appears on the book. The series as it appears on the book is transcribed in 490 1_ and is not searchable on a regular title search. The searchable established form is recorded in 830 _0. The authority record heading should match the 830, not the 490.

490	1		‡a Architecture & design library
830		0	‡a Architecture and design library.

 

490	1		‡a Springer series societal impact on aging
830		0	‡a Societal impact on aging.

In some rare instances, the cataloging rules require some series to be entered under corporate name; these will generally be handled using the "traced differently" pattern. If "Retrieve Authorities" from the Voyager Record menu isn't an option, use the non-keyword Staff Name/Title Headings Search to search Orbis or LCDB. However, series entered under corporate name are almost never encountered in current cataloging.

3. SERIES NOT TRACED. Series is not retrievable using a standard title search, although the series can be retrieved in Orbis using the non-keyword search index Series: Not traced. The practice of not tracing the series is now quite rare and would be unusual for a new series encountered in CIP cataloging.

490

0

‡a Bantam pathfinder series ; ‡v 56

If there is an article at the beginning of the title of an untraced series, transcribe it. No filing indicator is used with 490s. 

PUNCTUATION: note that there is no end punctuation at the 4XX level, but that end punctuation (period) is used at the 8XX level unless the title ends with a parenthesis.

Addendum. Change in LC series tracing policy and YUL decision.

In Nov. 2006, LC changed its policy for series. From that point on, LC has entered all series on its catalog records as 490 0 <series not traced>, even if the series authority record is coded to trace. YUL policy is to follow the series authority record decision.

• If the LC CIP record has a series tagged as 490 0, and the SAR has "t" in 645, re-tag the series as 490 1/830 or 440 following the series tagging guidelines
• If the SAR has "n" in 645, leave the series as 490 0
• If there is no series authority record in Orbis or LCDB, refer to a cataloger with NACO series authorization. Generally, the decision will be to trace the series, but the NACO cataloger has to provide the correct form.

_____ 5XX FIELDS. Follow LC guidelines:

If the book includes  bibliographical references (footnotes or endnotes), use the note:

504

‡a Includes bibliographical references.

If the book includes a bibliography or bibliographies, record the page numbers as a range in a parenthetical qualifier to the standard note in the form  p. <first page number> - hyphen - <last page number>. The closing parenthesis is followed by a period. If bibliographical references are recorded in a 504 note, code "b" in the Orbis 008 fixed field Contents.

504

‡a Includes bibliographical references (p. 125-127).

504

‡a Includes bibliographical references (p. [504]-506).

COMMENT: If a page number is not actually on the book, enclose the number in brackets.

If the book includes an index,  record the index in a 500 note in the form Includes index. Use the plural if there is more than one index. If the book includes both bibliographical references and an index, record the index as part of the bibliographical references note in 504. If an index is recorded, code 1 in Orbis 008 fixed field Index.

500

‡a Includes index.

504

‡a Includes bibliographical references (p. 405-[430]) and indexes.

 

If an errata or erratum slip has been inserted, account for it in a note:

500

‡a Errata slip inserted.

<more than one error>

500

‡a Erratum slip inserted.

<one error>

In general, make sure that the other notes on the CIP record really apply to the book. Unless the notes are quoted, however, they do not actually have to be on the physical book itself. Touch base with your supervisor if you think a note should be deleted.
