58.2, HOLDINGS

008

If the acquisition code is blank, and the source code in 905 $c is 0992 or 0994, change to f; for other source codes, search printouts from the ORION1 Archive in cataloging supervisor's office (under TAOS holdings record number) to see what the code was set to originally; for example, code 'a' for assumed donation in ORION1 should be input in ORION2 as f instead of being left blank as it migrated

If necessary, change the completeness code to be 1 for complete and multipart, 2 for incomplete and multipart, and 4 for single part (complete or incomplete).

014

If you are cloning an existing bibliographic record, delete the 014 fields that carried over from the cloned record.

843

If necessary, delete the subfield label ('REPRODUCTION:') from the $n subfield.

845

If you are cloning an existing holdings record, delete any standard notes in this field; see Section 21, Holdings fields--845--Terms governing use and reproduction note for guidance.

852

If the holding has a MY number that is not used for location, make sure that it appears in the 852 $j, and that the non-MY number location is in the right place (barcodes in 876 $p, and on-reel-with barcodes and old location numbers in 866 $z last note and 916).

866

  1. Correct abbreviations to match those currently established in CPM 26.5, ARCHIVE ABBREVIATIONS LIST, e.g. change 'trk' to 'track,' 'non-anamorphic' to 'nonanamorphic,' 'widescreen' to 'wide-screen,' 're-recorded' to 'rerecorded,' and 'masterpos' to 'master pos.'

  2. Reorder 866 $z subfields to the correct sequence, if necessary:

    1. Part/element
    2. Notes [important notes such as 'in can with:' and 'title on can:']
    3. Additional physical description
    4. Notes [less important notes]
    5. Preservation
    6. Location

  3. If the holding has a MY number that is used for location (ARSC and Commercial Services only), and the MY number appears as the last $z note in 866, delete it from the 866 field. Do not do this for materials at the Preservation Vault at SRLF.

  4. If the holding has not yet been barcoded, type 'LOCATION:' in front of the old location number in the last $z note in the 866 field.

  5. When notes about placement on the reserve shelf are encountered on migrated records, edit them to add the term 'Formerly' and move them to the 866 $x subfield. Rosa indicates that such notes are useful for trouble-shooting in the case of missing items.

    EXAMPLE: $xFormerly on reserve shelf A3-154, Spring 1996.

910

Add a subfield $a in the 910 field to indicate that you revised the record (initials and date).

916

If MY number is in the 852 $h subfield and also in the 916 field, delete it from the 916 field.

935

If you are cloning an existing holdings record, delete the 935 field that carried over from the cloned record.

58.3, AUTHORITY

035

If you are cloning an existing bibliographic record, delete the 035 field that carried over from the cloned record.

X50

  1. Change all second indicators to blank instead of 0 or 9.

  2. On local topical subject authority records, change 555 see also references to 550.

667

  1. Add a note in the 667 field to indicate that you revised the record (initials and date).

  2. Change all nonpublic notes to 667 fields except for true citations (which can stay in 670 fields).

  3. Change any public notes in 667 fields to 680 $i.

680

Change all $a subfields to $i subfields.

935

If you are cloning an existing bibliographic record, delete the 935 field that carried over from the cloned record.
