In discussions between the Library of Congress, the utilities, and concerned librarians during the ALA annual conference in 1993, a decision was made to postpone implementation of format integration and to split the process between variable field changes, to be brought in late in 1994, and fixed field changes, scheduled now for 1995. Postponement was primarily due to the difficulty systems staff saw in configuring their local systems to accept and index the new 006 and some of the changes within 007-008. SIRSI expects to be fully ready for the proposed changes as they are scheduled. National MARC format documentation incorporating FI is expected to be released over the next year with Memorial following suit, updating its own format documentation prior to implementing Unicorn.

Print monograph changes: single media

For those of you dealing primarily with print monograph cataloguing, format integration will not affect you to the same degree to which it will affect, for example, audio-visual, computer file, or serials cataloguers. The main thing you will notice is the validation of MARC fields previously reserved for other formats. Probably the first you will encounter will be the 246 from the serials format which, in some cases, will substitute for the 740. You may also start noticing the enlarged 037, a field which has taken on all of the duties of the old 265 and 350 in addition to what it included before. Here are examples of changes which will affect single-media books cataloguing.

037 (Source of acquisition; previously Stock number): Source and price information previously entered into 265 and 350 will now be added here along with the stock number.

246 (form of title): This field, previously reserved for serials, will now be used for all title entries which are not analytical in nature. This includes spine, cover, parallel, and partial titles. The type of title is denoted using the first indicator value. For further information on the indicator values of this field click here.

546 (Language note): Notes such as: "English and French.", previously entered into 500, will now use Serial's 546.

740 (Added entry--Uncontrolled related/analytical title): This will now be used only for added title entries referring to less than the whole piece indicated in 245. Examples are analytical titles not requiring uniform title, such as those from tables of contents or from second, third, etc. titles in a multi-title piece, where a uniform title (730) is not required and titles of previous editions or related works. Second indicator values of blank or 2 only are valid.

For mixed media, changes will again involve fields newly validated from other formats, as well as the new fixed field 006. Examples of mixed media monographs include books, microforms, maps, or charts with accompanying computer disks, guidebooks, maps, microfiche, sound cassettes, or slides. Also included in this category are atlases, which are really books of maps. Where more than one medium is used, the cataloguer chooses one format as primary for coding of the leader and 008, and then uses 006/007 to express elements of the secondary format. In the examples below, bold is used to show changes occasioned by FI.

Before format integration, the cataloguer was forced to choose a primary format and lose any secondary attributes of the material. Thus one could choose to catalogue a map serial or a computer file serial as either a serial or as a map/computer file, but not as both. If a serial sometimes showed an ISBN, the format could not handle it. This is no longer true. The addition of fixed field 006 enables map or computer file records to express seriality or for serial records to express "mapness" or "fileness". In fact it is possible to combine more than two formats by simply adding additional 006s. Thus a serial map appearing on CD-ROM could combine elements of three formats.

Example: Serial sound recording (before FI, in serials format)

                                             generated]

          Use for variations in title caused by typographic
          symbols (245 Love & marriage; 246 Love and marriage) or
          mispellings (245 Febuary winds; 246 February winds),
          and for titles not appearing on piece, but often used
          in place of title in 245 (246 1 |iCited as:|aMahoney
          Inquiry report; 246 1 |iAlso known as:|aCOMPENDEX). 
          Also use where none of print constants supplied below
          fulfills your needs and you want to supply your own
          note text in |i (|iAdded t.p. title:, |iTitle from

     0    Portion of title or additional title access 
                                [no display constant generated]

          Use only for portions of title appearing in |a, |b, or
          |p of 245 (245 Gray's anatomy, 246 Anatomy; 245
          |aLibrary resources market place :|bLRMP, 246 LRMP)

     1    Parallel title        [no display constant generated]

          Title in another language.  We don't usually trace
          these unless the first language of the title is not
          English, in which case make added title entry (246) for
          the English title.

     2    Distinctive title                  Distinctive title:

          Used primarily with serials for access to distinctive
          titles appearing in addition to the regular title of a
          yearbook, annual report,  or conference proceedings.

     3    Other title                              Other title:

          Use for binder's titles, masthead titles, half-titles,
          parallel titles NOT recorded in 245, or colophon
          titles.  The use of this indicator value is similar to
          , but supplies a print constant where the other does
          not (unless supplied in |i)

     4    Cover title                              Cover title:  

          Use for distinctive title from cover only where cover
          is not chief source of information.

     5    Added title page title        Added title page title:

          Usually a title in another language found on a title
          page preceding or following the title page used as the
          chief source, or on an inverted t.p. at the end of the
          publication.  Usually not traced at MUN unless added
          title page title is in English and chief source is not.

     6    Caption title                          Caption title:

          Title printed at the first page of text.

     7    Running title                          Running title:

          Title printed at top or bottom margin of each page of
          publication.

     8    Spine title                              Spine title:

          Title from spine of publication.  LC says that this
          must be a publisher's title and not a library binder's
          title, but for Coutts bindings we have no way of
          knowing whether the binder's title on the spine was
          also the publisher's spine title, so use this indicator
          value on these as well.

Use 730 for analytic or related work titles (see preface above for short definitions of these) when a uniform title entry has been established either locally or within one of the national authority files. If you cannot verify that a uniform title has been created for a work, then use the Uncontrolled related/analytical title field (740) instead.

740 Added Entry--Uncontrolled Related/Analytical Title

Use for uncontrolled related or analytical titles, where the cataloguer has not taken the time to check the authority file or where the uniform title has not yet been established. Examples of these include titles from contents notes or from the 245 (where multiple works are mentioned, either with a collective title or without).

76x-78x Linking entry fields

Although originally designed to describe relationships between serials and linked titles, a number of the 77x fields could prove useful in monograph cataloguing. These are listed below for your information only. If you feel that the work in hand might merit use of one of these, consult USMARC format for bibliographic data.

     770  Supplement/Special Issue Entry- Used on the parent
          record, contains information concerning supplements or
          special issues associated with the target item but
          catalogued as separate records.  Display constant: Has
          supplement:

     772  Parent Record Entry- Used on the child record, contains
          information concerning the related parent record when
          the target item is a single issue, supplement or
          special issue of the parent item.  Display constant:
          Supplement to:

     773  Host Item Entry- Used on child record only where Bib
          level (Leader byte 07)= a (Monographic component part),
          b (Serial component part), or d (Subunit).  Describes
          host item by title, enumeration/chronology, record
          control number.  Display constant:  In:

     775  Other Edition Entry- Contains the entry for other
          available editions of the work in hand.  Information
          Services considers the display of this field to be more
          problematic for staff and patrons than the current 
          method, so we will continue to use 700-740 rather than
          this field.  Display constant: Other editions
          available:

     776  Additional Physical Form Entry- This is used where the
          item is available in multiple physical forms (e.g. on
          microfilm), to describe the other forms.  Normally we
          will not go to the trouble of researching this
          information.  Display constant: Available in other
          form:
