I. MICROFILM (PURCHASED)

Bibliographic Record

Fixed Fields

Enter values for the original monograph or serial according to the MARC 21 Bibliographic Format. In addition, enter values for the microform following these guidelines:

Basic guidelines (see the MARC 21 Bibliographic Format for more detail):

008
Form of item		a (microfilm)
007		Select Microform
Specific Material Designation		d (microfilm reel)
Original vs. Reproduction		Ignore. (If a value has been entered for derived copy cataloging, leave value as is.)

 

Positive/Negative Aspect		a (positive) b (negative) etc.
Dimensions		f (35 mm) d (16 mm)
Reduction Ratio Range		a (low; reduction ratio less than 016) b (normal; reduction ratio between 016-030) c (high; 031-060) d (very high; 061-090) e (ultra high; over 090) u(unknown)
Reduction Ratio		"Generally, the specific reduction ratio is recorded when it is ultra high (code e in 007/05). If the ratio is not ultra high, recording the specific ratio is less essential. The numeric value of the reduction ratio, using three digits, is right justified with leading zeros (e.g., 015, 048). A hyphen is used for unknown digits in the reduction ratio (e.g., 03-, 1--, or ---). Three fill character (|||) are used when no attempt has been made to code this data element."--MARC 21. If the reduction ratio is not explicit, use range code u and hyphens rather than |||
Color		b (black and white) c (multicolored) m (mixed) etc.
Emulsion on film		a (silver halide) (use as the default value) u (unknown)
Generation		c (service copy)
Base		a (safety base; use for pre-1980 production) p (safety base, polyester; use for post-1980 production)

 

 

 

 

Example:

Variable fields:

245			Add ‡h [microform] in 245 field after title proper.
533 The following subfields are the ones most commonly used. For a full listing of the subfields, check MARC 21 Bibliographic Format.			Reproduction note.

	‡b		Place of reproduction
	‡c		Agency responsible for reproduction
	‡d		Date of reproduction
	‡e		Physical description of reproduction __ reels ; ___ mm.)

	5-8		Date 2 (for monographs use 4 blank spaces if no second date of reproduction found in |d of 533; for serials use original ending date of publication of the issues that have been reproduced as indicated in |m of 533)
	9-11		Place of publication, production, or execution (use country code for the reproduction)
	12		Frequency (for monographs use n; for serials use code that indicates frequency of reproduction)
	13		Regularity (for monographs use 1 blank space; for serials use code that indicates the regularity of the reproduction)
	14		Form of item (use a)

COPY SPECIFIC NOTES

If it is considered necessary to record notes reflecting the difference between the original and the reproduction in the record for the microfilm, generally prefer 533 ‡n.

852 second indicator 0 or 1 as appropriate.

Newspapers. Until Oct. 2012, newspapers were assigned Yale classification An, and the title cutter construction was based, exceptionally, on the Cutter table (which has a more detailed expansion than the LC table). Shelflisting against a separate An shelflist was required. From Oct. 2012, reflecting the steep decline in newspaper microform purchases, microform newspaper call numbers are constructed following the standard accession number procedures used for microform serials & are shelflisted against the Film S or NS shelflists.

NOTE: For negative service copy, use Film B or Film S call number. Do not assign Film N or Film NS call number.

CALL NUMBERS FOR OTHER LOCATIONS: assign according to the appropriate scheme for the location.

Volume Holdings

Create volume holdings for the microfilm replacement when appropriate.
Record bibliographic information, not information regarding physical reels.

Item Record

Procedures for SML:

• An item record is created for each microfilm reel and a barcode is affixed to each microfilm box at time of receipt.
• Item type is microform
• For multi-part monographs or serials, the ENUM and CHRON fields in the item record should indicate the volumes and/or years represented on the microfilm reel.
• After the title is cataloged, the item record is discharged and the microfilm is sent to Preparations.

For other locations, follow appropriate procedures.

II. MICROFILM (CREATED)

Bibliographic record:

Fixed Fields:
Enter values for the original monograph or serial according to the MARC 21 Bibliographic Format. In addition, create three 007s. Values will be the same as I. above, except Generation values should be:

a		first generation (master)
b		printing master
c		service copy

Create 007s in reverse order, service copy first, first generation master last.

Service copy:

Printing master:

First generation master:

Variable fields:

Follow the guidelines in Section I, but enter also:

037

Use this field to record the microfilm storage number for the first generation (master)

NOTE: For SML, place of reproduction and agency responsible for reproduction will usually be: ‡b New Haven, Conn. : ‡cYale University Library.

The 533 should describe all microfilm copies represented on the MFHDs.

Example. Note spacing in ‡7:

4 blank spaces after ‡7 s1990

1 blank space after ctun

533			‡a Microfilm. ‡b New Haven, Conn. : ‡c Yale University Library, ‡d 1990. ‡e 1 microfilm reel ; 35 mm. ‡7 s1990    ctun a
590			‡a NEGATIVE FILM AVAILABLE FOR REPRODUCTION

 

COPY SPECIFIC NOTES

Do not add the MFHD public note 852 ‡z NEGATIVE FILM AVAILABLE FOR REPRODUCTION. Instead, add as 590 note in the bibliographic record.

Generally avoid recording routine processing information about the original, e.g. the original call number, as a staff note in 852 ‡x or ‡z. Copy specific notes entered in 852 may result in a misleading display when the Voyager bound-with technique needs to be applied in situations where multiple bibliographic records are created for a single reel (or fiche).

If detailed notes about the original hard copy have been entered in the 590 of the original record, revise the location given at the beginning of the 590 note to reflect the current location of the microfilm and qualify the current location by citing the call number of the original copy. If needed, record information about the reproduction in 533 $n.

If the original lacks a 590 note with details about the original hard copy, and it is considered necessary to record notes about the original in the record for the microfilm, record in 590 preceded by the current location of the microfilm. Qualify the current location by citing the call number of the original copy. If needed, record information about the reproduction in 533 $n.

533			‡a Microfilm. ‡b New Haven, Conn. : ‡c Yale University Library, ‡d 1995. ‡e 1 microfilm reel ; 35 mm. ‡n Plates not reproduced. ‡7 s1995    nyun a

CALL NUMBERS FOR OTHER LOCATIONS: assign according to the appropriate scheme for the location.

 

2nd Location (Printing master, formerly called Master negative):

852 first indicator 8 (other classification scheme). Second indicator 0 or 1 as appropriate.

Item Record

Service copy (positive microfilm):

Procedures for SML:

• An item record is created for each microfilm reel and a barcode is affixed to each microfilm box at time of receipt
• Item type is microform
• For multi-part monographs or serials, the ENUM and CHRON fields in the item record should indicate the volumes and/or years represented on the microfilm reel.
• After the title is cataloged, the item record is discharged and the microfilm is sent to Preparations.

For other locations, follow appropriate procedures.

Printing master (formerly called Master negative):

• An item record is created for each microfilm reel and a barcode is affixed to each microfilm box at time of receipt.
• Item type is microform
• For multi-part monographs or serials, the ENUM and CHRON fields in the item record should indicate the volumes and/or years represented on the microfilm reel.
• After the title is cataloged, the item record is discharged and the microfilm is sent to Preparations.
• All printing masters will be stored in LSF (those currently in Seely Mudd Library will be transferred to LSF)

First generation (master):

If the first generation (master) is sent to LSF, follow the same procedures as for the printing master above.

If the first generation (master) is sent to the Iron Mountain Storage, follow appropriate procedures.
