Non-Microform Preservation Reproductions:

For reproductions of previously existing materials that are made for preservation purposes in format other than microforms and for non-microform dissertations and other reproductions produced "on demand," the Library of Congress policy is as noted below.

1. Transcribe the bibliographic data appropriate to the original work being reproduced in the following areas:

point_bl.gif title and statement of responsibility

point_bl.gif edition

point_bl.gif material (or type of publication) specific details

point_bl.gif publication, distribution, etc.

point_bl.gif physical description

point_bl.gif series

2. If appropriate, give in the title and statement of responsibility area the general material designation that is applicable to the format of the reproduction (cf. LCRI 1.1C ).

3. Give in a single note (533 field) all other details relating to the reproduction and its publication/availability. Include in the note the following bibliographic data in the order listed:

point_bl.gif format of the reproduction

point_bl.gif place and name of the agency responsible for the reproduction

point_bl.gif date of the reproduction

point_bl.gif physical description of the reproduction if different from the original

point_bl.gif series statement of the reproduction (if applicable)

Apply rules 1.4-1.6 for the formulation of the bibliographic data in the note. Enclose cataloger-supplied data in brackets. Omit the area divider (space-dash-space).

4. Consider the "agency responsible for the reproduction" to be agency that selected the material to be reproduced, arranged for reproducing the material, exercised control over production formats, has overall responsibility for quality, etc. If the agency is unknown, give "[s.n.]." Transcribe also the name of the agency from which to secure copies or the agency that made the reproduction if the agency is named in one of the prescribed sources for the publication, distribution, etc., area of the reproduction.

Example A

Note: Items that are reproductions of materials prepared or assembled specially for bringing out an original edition are cataloged as editions, not as reproductions.
