Recommendation:

The Task Force to Recommend Guidelines for Microforms Transferred to the Library Shelving Facility has proposed that, initially,

• the transfer process should begin with microfilm only
• the microfilm should be a single title on one or more reels
• the title should be represented by a unique microfilm Orbis record, complete with appropriate bibliographic description, MFHD, and item record(s), if appropriate.

Each microform transferred to the Library Shelving Facility (LSF) must have a bibliographic record that follows the Appropriate Bibliographic and Holdings Record for Monographs document prepared for LSF or a similar document, Appropriate Bibliographic and Holdings Record for Serials transferred to LSF with additional requirements for particular microform fixed and variable fields.

Generally, when the library holds both a service copy and a negative printing master copy, only the service copy should be transferred to LSF. However, at the time the service copy is transferred, the MFHD for the negative printing master should be updated to follow current processing guidelines for negative printing masters.

Bibliographic Record:

Original microforms:

Additional Required Fixed Fields:

• FORM OF ITEM should have the appropriate value selected, e.g., "a" for microfilm, "b" for microfiche.
• 007 (Microform) needed for each generation of film.

Additional Required Variable Fields:

• 245 Title statement should include subfield h [microform]
• 300 Physical description of microform should be in 300 field

(Please see example # 1)

Reproduction microforms:

Additional Required Fixed Fields:

• FORM OF ITEM should have the appropriate value selected, e.g., "a" for microfilm, "b" for microfiche.
• 007 (Microform) needed for each generation of film.

Additional Required Variable Fields:

• 245 Title statement should include subfield h [microform]
• 533 Reproduction note should be present.

(Please see example #2 for serials and example #3 for monographs)

MFHD 852:

Original and Reproduction microforms:

• First indicator 8
  
  
• Second indicator 0 if single-part monograph; 1 if multipart monograph or serial
  
  
• Use original location code in 852 ‡b; location appropriate LSF code will be assigned by LSF staff.
  

Most microfilm call numbers are entered as:

Single-part:

Multipart or Serial:

 

MFHD 86x:

Original microforms:

Reproduction Microforms:

Item Record:

Original and Reproduction microforms:

• There should be a barcode for each physical reel of film, packet of fiche, or box of microcards transferred to LSF. For microfilm, the barcode should be affixed to the box, not the reel.
  
  
• ENUM and/or CHRON data should be present for serials; ENUM data should be present for multiparts
  
  
• Data in ENUM/CHRON should reflect data in MFHD 86x
  
  
• Item type should be changed to: lsfr. LSF software will use the item type to update the location. Do not update the Permanent Location on the item record. EXCEPTION: Divinity item type is changed to: lsfc

MFHDS (Note that a MFHD is not made for the Master Negative copy)

MFHD 1 (Service copy)

MFHD 2 (Negative Printing Master copy): System Tab. Verify that "Suppressed from OPAC" is enabled.

Negative printing master copies were converted from NOTIS without indicators. The appropriate indicators should be added at the time the service copy is transferred, even though the negative printing master copy is not generally transferred.

Volume holdings for negative printing masters were generally not recorded on NOTIS if a service copy was available (volume holdings were recorded only for the service copy). Record also the volume holdings in 86x if the printing master copy is readily at hand at the time of the transfer but note that volume holdings must be verified against the actual physical inventory. Do not record volume holdings if the printing master is not readily available for physical inventory, i.e., do not simply copy the service copy holdings without verifying the actual negative printing master holdings.
