Special Treatment of some Loose-leaf Materials Ordered for Law
The Law Library frequently purchases loose-leaf materials as "firm orders". i.e. only one specific "edition" is ordered at a time. There is no standing order for the updates. Thus we'll treat these issues as monographs, and catalogue as a one time issued edition and not as an ongoing loose-leaf publication. [Note: Law Library staff sends them out for binding]
Cataloguing Guidelines
Always CHECK PRF for special instructions in the "GENERAL NOTE" box; the note "No supplements will be received" indicates that we should treat the issue as an edition. If a derived record is available it should be modified accordingly.
The derived record could be a monograph, multivolume serial, or integrated resource records. Change to a monograph record, with the MARC Leader bib level m (make changes to 006, 007, and 008 as needed).

ADD the date to the call number |
|
008 |
Treat this as a one time issue; in cases, and it is in the majority of cases, where there is a copyright date of the original and the date of the issue in hand use both dates: Dat Type: t [copyright date] |
|
260 |
Use the latest date from the issue in hand as the first date; this may be followed by a copyright date. DO NOT leave the date "open". |
|
300 |
CHANGE the description from loose-leaf to a singe issue, e.g. " 1 v. (various pagings)", 2 v., etc. |
OCLC Records should be modified as for any other variant edition:
Print copy for Barb to delete from OCLC and DELETE: 003, 005, 029, 049
There is no need to add notes in the item record re: special treatment. Use 500 note to record data specific to the issue in hand.
History of Document Revisions
Document previously assumed a monograph bibliographic record instead of the possibility of an integrated resource or serial record.
