33.12.1.  Changes in place of publication (field 500)

If the place of publication changes, record it in a 500 note and add a 752 field for the new place name (see also CCM 33.14).

260 ## $a Carson City, Nev. : $b  McClure & Parkinson

362 0# $a Vol. 5, no. 527 (Aug. 9, 1875)-v. 46, no. 143 (July 15, 1896).

33.12.2.  Numbering peculiarities (field 515)

Many newspaper  editors do not attach great significance to a consistent use of numeric designation and therefore numbering peculiarities abound.  This may have been more of a problem in the past, but it persists in the electronic age and has produced endless peculiarities, some of which are outlined below:

1.  If Saturday and Sunday issues carry separate systems of numeric designations, note the separate numbering in field 515 (Figure 33.13.).

245 00 $a Press-Knickerbocker-express.

246 1# $i Published on Sunday as: $a Sunday press

260 ## $a Albany, N.Y. : $b Allied Print

515 ## $a Sunday issues carry separate numbering.

2.  Numbering irregularities often appear in the first issue of the calendar year:

310 ## $a Weekly (except Fourth of July and Christmas), $b Jan. 4, 1957- <1967>

321 ## $a Weekly, $b 1955-Dec. 28, 1956

362 1# $a Began in 1955; ceased in 1968?

515 ## $a Jan. 4, 1957 issue numbered vol. 2, no. 53; Jan. 11, 1957 issue numbered vol. 3, no. 2.

Sometimes the peculiarities involve both the numbering and the dates:

310 ## $a Daily (except Sunday)

362 0# $a Vol. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 2, 1853 [i.e. 1854])-

515 ## $a Issues for Jan.-Mar. 1854 dated 1853. Issue for Jan. 3, 1854 also numbered vol. 1, no. 1 but constitutes v. 1, no. 2.

3.  When to note suspensions.

It is not necessary to note brief suspensions in the 515 field.  These often occur when there is a change in editors/publishers, or in some cases, the suspension was intentional simply because the day of issue was changed from one day of the week to another.  The cataloger must use his or her judgment when deciding whether to note such brief suspensions.

515 ## $a Suspended with Nov. 22, 1961 issue; resumed with Nov. 12, 1962 issue.

515 ## $a Suspended Oct. 1863-Nov. 1864.

Other examples of the use of the 515 field:

515 ## $a Vol. 1, no. 1 preceded by an unnumbered "preliminary issue."

515 ## $a Issues for Aug. 3, 1899-Feb. 8, 1900 designated with Roman numerals, vol. IIX, no. XIIX-v. XI, no. III, but constitute v. 8, no. 28-v. 9, no. 3.

515 ## $a Vol. numbering skips from v. 22 to v. 30 on Dec. 12, 1889.

515 ## $a Issue numbering for Aug. 22-Sept. 12, 1913 remains at no. 34; with Sept. 19, 1913 issue numbering skips to no. 38.

33.12.3.  Language note (fields 041 and 546)

CCM 13.6.1 describes several situations when a language note is given for serials ( FN 13).  Include the language note for non-English newspapers per LCRI 1.7B2 .  Input the fixed field code for the language ( 008/35-37 ), as well as codes for multi-language newspapers (field 041 ) as described in the CEG.

Language:   swe

041 0# $a swe $a eng

245 00 $a Oregon Posten.

260 ## $a Portland, Or. : $b F.W. Lonegren

546 ## $a In Swedish with some columns in English.

33.12.4.  Editor/Publisher note (field 500)

Editor and publisher notes are not generally input in newspaper records.  If an editor’s or publisher’s name is more widely known than the newspaper, a note and added entry may be included.  (See AACR2 21.30D1 and CCM 13.8.2.)

130 0# $a North star (Rochester, N.Y.)

245 14 $a The north star.

785 00 $t Frederick Douglass’ paper $w (DLC)sn 84026366

33.12.5.  General note (field 500)

General notes for numbering and imprint are covered in CCM 33.8.2 and 33.12.1, respectively.  Since the source for newspaper titles is the masthead, it is not necessary to use the "Title from" note as prescribed in CCM 3.2, except in rare cases when the title is not in the masthead or a masthead is not present.

362 1# $a Began in 1979.

362 0# $a -v. 3, issue 12 (Aug. 4, 1981).

500 ## $a Description based on: Vol. 2, issue 10 (May 20, 1980).

33.12.6.  Reproduction note (field 533)

Field 533 is generally used to describe a reproduction when the description is based on the original ( FN 14).  (See LCRI Chapter 11 and CEG Field 533 .)  The reproduction note provides most of the information relating to the microform including the type of reproduction, dates of publication, place of reproduction, date of micropublishing, etc. (CCM  32.3.3).

130 0# $a New republic (Lincoln, Neb. : 1887)
