LC/PCC practice: Make a note on the known frequency of a serial or of the updates to an integrating resource even if the frequency is apparent from the rest of the description.

Integrating Resources:

Include the word "updated" or "updates" with the frequency word to clarify that the resource itself does not have that frequency (e.g., "Updated quarterly," "Monthly updates").

Option Decision:

LC/PCC practice: Do not apply the optional provision of the rule.

Integrating Resources: Change in Title Other Than Title Proper

MARC 21 tagging practice: When giving a note for a change in a title other than a title proper (e.g., added title page title, title bar title), give the note in field 246 and explain the situation in subfield $i ; do not use field 247 ( FN 1) and/or 547 ( FN 2). The existing text for fields 247 and 547 will be revised (see revised text below) in the next MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data update to reflect the use of these fields in records for integrating resources and to clarify that these fields are used only for earlier titles proper.

existing record:

245 00 $a Scholarship opportunities for future math teachers.

246 15 $a Math education scholarships

500 ## $a Description based on: release 5, published 1999.

same record updated:

245 00 $a Future math teachers' scholarship opportunities.

246 1# $i Added title page title <release 5, published 1999>: $a Math education scholarships

247 10 $a Scholarship opportunities for future math teachers $f <release 5, published 1999>

500 ## $a Description based on: release 9, published 2001.

Integrating Resources:

When the title proper has changed, move the ISSN for the earlier title proper from the 022 field to the 247 field for that earlier title proper.

existing record:

022 1# $a 9999-9999

245 00 $a Mutual funds registry.

500 ## $a Description based on: update 2, published 2000.

247 10 $a Mutual funds registry, $f <update 2, published 2000 > $x 9999-9999

500 ## $a Description based on: update 5, published 2001.

Give a separate "Title history" note ( field 547 ) in addition to the 247 field(s) only if the situation requires more explanation than can be given in the 247 field(s). Do not give a 547 field just because there are multiple 247 fields.

Electronic Serials That Don't Retain Earlier Titles:

If an electronic serial is reformatted so that all evidence of the earlier title is removed, give the earlier title in a note. Give a note explaining that the earlier title no longer appears in the serial.

existing record:

245 00 $a Asian age $h [electronic resource]

same record updated:

245 00 $a Asian age online $h [electronic resource]

247 11 $a Asian age $f <Mar. 6, 2001>

547 ## $a All issues originally published with title Asian age have been reformatted with the new title: Asian age online.

Integrating Resources:

MARC 21 tagging practice: When giving a note for a change in a parallel title, give the note in field 246 and explain the situation in subfield $i ; do not use field 247 and/or field 547 . See LCRI 12.7B4.1 for revised text for MARC 21 fields 247 and 547.

existing record:

245 00 $a Barn och unga $h [electronic resource] = $b Children and young persons

500 ## $a Title from HTML header (viewed Jan. 13, 2002).

same record updated:

246 1# $i Parallel title in HTML header <Jan. 13, 2002> : $a Children and young persons

500 ## $a Title from HTML header (viewed May 28, 2002)

Integrating Resources:

MARC 21 tagging practice: When giving a note for a change in other title information, give the note field 246 and explain the situation in subfield $i ; do not use field 247 and/or field 547 . See LCRI 12.7B4.1 for revised text for MARC 21 fields 247 and 547.

CONSER standard and minimal record practice: It is not required to give notes justifying access points in fields 7XX for persons or bodies responsible for a serial when authority records are created or maintained for all the added entries.

"At Head of Title" Note:

Occasionally a phrase or name that is clearly not a statement of responsibility appears at head of title. Use an "at head of title" note if the inclusion of the phrase or name is considered important for access or identification.

Form of Linking Notes:

In notes referring to another resource (i.e., linking notes), cite the entry under which the resource appears in the catalog against which the searching and cataloging is done. For legal works and translations that are entered under uniform title, construct the linking notes as follows:

main entry name heading/uniform title/title proper.

related record:

110 2# $a Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige forskningsråd.

240 10 $a Årsberetning. $l English

245 10 $a Annual report.

linking note:

780 00 $a Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige forskningsråd. $s Årsberetning. English. $t Annual report

main entry uniform title heading/title proper.

related record:

130 0# $a Hong qi. $l English.

245 10 $a China report. $p Red flag.

linking note:

780 00 $t Hong qi. English. China report. Red flag

Do not include other title information or statements of responsibility in linking notes. Exception: In cases in which the title proper consists solely of the name of a corporate body, conference, etc., and other title information has been supplied to explain the title (see rule 1.1E6), include the other title information in the link.

780 00 $a Workmen's Compensation Commission. $t Workmen's Compensation Commission : [annual report]

If the note cites a main entry heading, give the heading in AACR2 form. If the main entry heading on the catalog record for the related resource is not in AACR2 form, change it to the AACR2 form.

If the related resource is not represented in the catalog, cite in the note the entry that would be used were that resource cataloged under AACR2.

When specific information regarding a related work is unknown, give general information in a note.

Notes and Related Work Added Entries:

See LCRI 21.28B1 for information about situations when related work added entries are given in addition to the reciprocal linking notes.

Option Decision:

LC/PCC practice: Do not apply the option.

Option Decision:

LC/PCC practice: Do not apply the option.

Option Decision:

LC/PCC practice: Apply the optional provision of the rule whenever the information is readily available.

Updating Loose-Leafs:

For a gradual replacement edition (see LCRI 21.3B), make a note about the new edition statement.

250 ## $a 2nd ed.

500 ## $a Updated to 2nd ed., June 2001.

CONSER standard and minimal record practice:

It is not required to use prescribed abbreviations or standardized capitalization when giving this information. Numbers given as words may be transcribed as words or recorded as Arabic numerals.

If a serial has a new sequence of numbering (cf. 12.3G), give information about the sequence in a 362 field or a 515 field, whichever is clearer.

Serials: Place of Publication

The intent of this LCRI is to limit the number of notes to those considered important. Two important changes related to place are those that

1. involve a change in country or region;

260 ## $a Cambridge, Mass. : $b Harvard University Press, $c 1988-

500 ## $a Published: Austin : University of Texas, 1990-

2. involve a change in the place when the place has been used as a qualifier for the uniform title and/or key title.

130 0# $a Careers in education (New York, N.Y.)

245 00 $a Careers in education

260 ## $a New York, N.Y. : $b EMC Press, $c 1990.

500 ## $a Published: Philadelphia : Harris Pub. Co., 1994-

Other specific changes may be noted at the discretion of the cataloger.

Serials:

LC/PCC practice: For serials, generally note changes in series statements by recording information in the series area instead of making notes on such changes. See LCRI 1.6J.

LC practice: Except for resources cataloged in LC's overseas offices, do not give a summary note for printed serials or updating loose-leafs.

Serials:

The "Description based on" note may be combined with a "Source of title" note (rule 12.7B3) but not with a "Latest issue consulted" note. If needed, always give a "Latest issue consulted" note as a separate note.

LC/PCC practice: In a "Description based on" or "Latest issue consulted" note, give the numeric and/or alphabetic and/or chronological designation information for the issue cited in the same order and with the appropriate prescribed punctuation as in the numbering area.

500 ## $a Description based on: Vol. 1, no. 3 (Apr. 1992).

500 ## $a Description based on: Vol. 14, no. 1 (Jan. 1986) = 56; title from cover.

500 ## $a Latest issue consulted: 21, no. 1 (1990) = 58.

500 ## $a Description based on: Varsha 13, anka 1 (Baiśākha-Jaishţha [Apr.-June 1991]) ; title from cover.

500 ## $a Description based on: Dai 2-kan 2-gō (Heisei 2-nen 2-gatsu [Feb. 1990]).

500 ## $a Description based on: 8. barsḥa, 1. sakhyā (Śarada sakalana, 1395 (Sept.-Nov. 1988]).

500 ## $a Description based on: no. 7 (July-Sept. 1997); title from title screen (viewed Oct. 3, 1997).

If the issue does not carry a chronological designation, give the numeric and/or alphabetic designation and the publication or copyright date.

500 ## $a Description based on: v. 19, published in 1986.

500 ## $a Latest issue consulted: Nr. 3, published in 2002.

500 ## $a Description based on: No. 5, copyrighted 1987.

Remote Access Resources:

LC/PCC practice: When the bibliographic record has been updated, replace the "viewed on" date in the record with the current date on which the record was viewed for description.
