Update 20, 2011 (Updates)
Update 20 includes changes in MARC coding and PCC practices that CONSER implemented in the past several years. Most notable are new codes defined for Form of Original Item (008/22 & 006/05) and Form of item (008/23 & 006/06), usage of subfield $3 (item described) in various MARC fields; and subfields $x (ISSN) in the 8XX field. This update also includes guidelines for the repeatable 260 field, and the new MARC field 588 Source of description. Routine corrections to typographical errors, updates to contact information, URLs, etc. were also made. Please note that examples supporting the instructions being newly added or changed in this update were revised to reflect the new MARC coding. Other examples reflecting earlier practices will be revised or replaced in future CEG updates when possible.
This update includes valuable comments and revisions contributed by CONSER catalogers to incorporate CONSER standard record cataloging practice into various sections of the CEG. Suggestions for future revisions of the CEG are always welcome and may be sent to the email address conser@loc.gov.
