DLC/CONSER “Other” Edition Copy |
This document instructs in serials copy cataloging (print and electronic, text based) at most levels of copy excluding copy that requires extensive, original authority work or exhaustive and extensive revision or research. It is based on: CONSER Cataloging Manual (CCM), CONSER Editing Guide (CEG), Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings (SCM).
AACR2 Definition of a serial: “A publication in any medium issued in successive parts bearing numeric or chronological designations and intended to be continued indefinitely.”
The nature of a monograph is normally to be static, whereas the nature of a serial is to be fluid or changing. A single serial title in hand can potentially have related titles which precede it, parallel it, supplement it, continue it, etc.
In addition to the AACR2 definition of serials given above, utilize the following evidence to identify serial publications as necessary. Not all 5 criteria will necessarily be found. 1) and 2) are the most crucial, but any one of the other criteria 3)-5) may indicate a serial publication.
1) Evidence of numbering or coverage date(s) that pertain to the main title (title proper) of the piece in hand (i.e., not numbering/coverage dates that pertain to a series that the title may be a part of).
2) Evidence of intention to continuously publish (numbering is evidence of sequence and thus continuity; coverage dates may also be evidence of continuity).
3) Statement of intended frequency, possibly in title (Memoria annual) or on preliminaries or cover.
4) Indication of previous issues (e.g., previous copyright dates on t.p. verso; mention in prefatory matter, etc.).
5) Serial record in OCLC.
Successive entry cataloging: whenever a major change (see Major/Minor Changes in Serials) occurs in a serial, such as a title change, a new record is input, creating a string of sequential, related records during the life of a serial. In the fixed field Successive/Latest Entry (S/L) the value is set to “0” [zero] for successive entry cataloging.
This level of copy, completed by LC catalogers or trained members of the CONSER program, generally needs less verification. For the purposes of our work at HTML Technical Services, the Serials Dept. uses the notation: DLC/CONSER, which means either DLC or CONSER, both, and also old Library of Congress copy.
At the beginning of selected sections is the heading in bold, “<lcd>”, often followed by elements to be verified for that level of copy. Sections with only “<lcd>” indicate the entire section applies to DLC/CONSER level records. Sections without “<lcd>” may be disregarded when dealing with DLC/CONSER level copy. “<lcd>” is also listed in the table of contents whenever pertinent to a particular section.
Fixed Fields:
Encoding level (Elvl) value is # (i.e. blank)
Cataloging source code (Srce):
DLC #
CONSER member c
Variable fields:
Variable field 042 authentication codes:
DLC lc, or lcd
CONSER member lcd
Call numbers:
Authenticated DLC/CONSER records are not required to have a classification number except for government documents classification number, field 086. However, for the purposes of this document, a full level DLC/CONSER record will have a classification number identified by one of these fields and indicators:
050 00 (In the LC collection; assigned by LC)
050 04 (In LC collection; assigned by CONSER library)
050 #4 (Assigned by CONSER library)
050 14 (Not in LC; assigned by CONSER library)
Caveat on editing serial cataloging copy: changes we make to a serial record indicate changes to the serial title for the issue(s) we have in hand, since we cannot know what appeared on issues not in hand. Normally, changes which alter a description effecting previous or later issues not in hand cannot be made. For example, if we do not have the first issue of a serial in hand, we cannot supply a beginning publication date to the serial record, or, likewise, if we don’t have the final issue of a serial in hand, we cannot supply a closing publication date. However, sometimes there is evidence (from the Web, the pieces in hand, etc.) that would allow us to correct clearly erroneous information or add missing information that would normally require verification from issues not in hand.
Evidence: evidence for information in a description/record can come from the piece(s) in hand (including items in the stacks), the cataloging record (OCLC/Voyager), and other reference works in print or on the Web.
Matching: Serials copy cataloging, among other things, involves matching the piece(s) in hand to a MARC bibliographic record. The most crucial field for matching is the title proper, but some serials have the same or very similar titles. A complicating matter is that serials can change their titles and other descriptive information and still be essentially the same serial. This kind of change is dealt with in the document, Major/Minor Changes in Serials.
In addition to the title proper, other possible points of matching (often considered in combination) are:
Spelling/Capitalization: Although not mentioned in every section of this editing guide, any incorrect spelling or capitalization should be corrected (for capitalization practice, see AACR2, App. A. Capitalization).
Searching for updated copy: Search OCLC for updated copy when a serial record has not been updated for about a year or when it is thought that the OCLC record is likely to provide important, new information regarding the serial. For example:
Type (Type of record): This document deals with serial records coded “a”, language material.
BLvl (Bibliographic level): For serials, items are coded “s”
S/L (Successive/Latest entry): Successive entry cataloging is used: code “0”
Desc (Descriptive cataloging form): If a record is coded “a”, AACR2, it must conform to that code.
SrTp (Serial type):
Ensure that SrTp is correctly coded: “p” for periodicals containing articles, normally issued more frequently than annual; coded “#” [blank] for serials such as yearbooks, annual reports, etc., normally issued annually or less frequently. However, if an item conforms to the definition of “p” above in content, code “p” would be appropriate regardless of frequency. If code “m” (monographic series) is present, this may indicate a potential treatment as a monographic series in the local catalog or by the Library of Conress (See Title statement).
ELvl (Encoding level): Full-level “I” corresponds to second-level description (AACR2 1988 rev., 1.0D2).
Lang (Language): Ensure this field is coded for the language of the principal text of the publication.
Ctry (Place of publication, production, or execution): Set this code for the latest place where the serial is published. The latest place may not be indicated in the imprint area (260), but in a note (500), which may need to be added.
Conf (Conference publication): A serial conference publication, a work including two or more papers presented at a meeting, is indicated by setting this code at “1”. Otherwise it is “0”.
EntW/Cont (Nature of entire work/Nature of contents): Set these fields to the correct values as appropriate for the work. Only one of these fixed fields is coded, the other is blank. Most of the values are the same code letter for each field.
Gpub (Government publication): Blank for non-government works.
Currently published “c”=If there is evidence that a serial has been published within the last three years.
Unknown publication status “u”=if there is no evidence that a serial has been published in the last three years.
No longer published “d”=when a serial’s title has changed or if it is evident that it will no longer be published.
Dates
(Beginning/ending dates of publication) <lcd>
The dates in the fixed fields normally indicate the coverage in the 362 field, including questionable dates. Otherwise, dates from 260 fields can be used. Incomplete dates can be used, for example “199u”, which means sometime in the 1990s.
Beginning date: input four characters (e.g., 19uu, 199u, uuuu, etc.)
Ending date:
Current: 9999
Unknown: uuuu
Dead: four characters (e.g., 1978, 199u, uuuu, etc.)
CED Section E., Leader/006/008
Always check for spelling and typos in variable fields.
<lcd>: verify as matching point if available on item in hand.
Search for an ISSN on the pieces in hand. Many Latin American serial publications do not bear and ISSN. An ISSN number found on the piece can be recorded in the 022 field in subfield “a”. However, if the publisher is still using the ISSN on the new title, which is the same as the one used for the earlier title, record it subfield “y” of the 022 field. If more than one ISSN is recorded on different issues, verify which is the most recent, if possible, using Ulrichs periodicals directory (http://www.ulrichsweb.com/). If they cannot be verified, record both in subfield “y”, or accept how they are recorded in the record.
ISSN numbers are also included in subfield “x” of the Linking entries.
Language code (041): Verify, and if necessary add, this field and required language codes (MARC code list for languages). Normally, this field is used whenever an item is in more than one language or a translation is involved. The fixed field code Lang is set for the language in the first position.
Subject analysis: Analyze the
title in hand for subject content (see also, Subject Headings)
by inspecting useful and concise descriptions found, for example, on the cover,
title page, preliminary pages, introductory material, etc. Also, the table of contents is a good source
for a brief overview of a title. If more than one issue is in hand, briefly
examine several of the other issues. If a clear determination of subject
content is still in question after such an examination, briefly skim some of
the articles or other content.
Selection of call number:
Form: At the head of many important topics in the classification schedules, there are often class numbers, “A” cutters, or groups of numbers for serial publications. The most common caption for these is: “Periodicals. Societies. Serials”. Whenever possible, use these class numbers.
Topicality: Serials tend to receive a classification number for a general or broad topic, since they often serve as forums for research on many aspects of a discipline. In some cases, more specific topics in the schedules provide tables, which may have a format cutter or number for serial publications. Otherwise, if the serial requires a very specific topic, where the schedule provides no class number, cutter, or table for serial publications, assign the number specific to the topic. One should resist assigning a classification for a highly specific topic to a serial, as it is often difficult to determine the scope of a serial with a few or only one issue in hand.
Corporate body main entry: For serials cataloged under and classified by (i.e., receive a final cutter specifically for the corporate body) a corporate body heading, cutter for the corporate body and add work letters beginning with “a” to the cutters in order of receipt. Use cutters for corporate bodies already established in the catalog, for either serial or monographic works.
Translations: Do not use the translation cutter tables for serial call numbers.
Chief source of information for serials:
Be aware that the title page is normally the chief source of information for a serial, and the title proper (245) is preferably transcribed from the title page. However, many serials do not have a title page.
1) If the issue/volume upon which the description is based is in hand, verify the following: Whenever there is no title page, the title is most often taken from the cover or the caption at the beginning of the text, and a note is made indicating the source of the title. When the title is on the title page, there is no source of title note.
Examples: 500 Title from cover.
500 Title from caption.
2) If another issue or issues are in hand, and the same title is now in a different location not described or implied in the bibliographic record, review the serial title with the supervisor/trainer. <lcd>
3) For remote access electronic resources, the chief source is often the home page or some formally presented information such as main menus, headers, etc. Ensure that there is always a note (500) in the bibliographic record indicating the source of the title.
Examples: 500 Title from home page (viewed Aug. 11, 2003)
500 Description based on: Vol. 11, no. 1 (June 2002); title from home page (viewed Aug. 22, 2002)
Main entry can be: Title proper, uniform title, corporate body, author (rarely).
Examples:
130 0 Arrow (Saskatoon, Sask.) [place of publication is fairly common in distinguishing completely different serials]
130 0 Arrow (Saskatoon, Sask. : Online) [different format]
130 0 Special report (Northern Illinois University. Center for Southeast Asian Studies) [corporate body, usually issuing body, often used when the title is short such as “report” or “bulletin”]
110 2 World Food Programme.
240 10 Annual report (1993) [1993 was the first issue the title change occurred; one of its earlier titles was “Annual report”, not the immediately preceding one.]
245 00 Annual report
130 0 American men and women of science. Medical sciences. [necessary because section title begins with an article]
245 00 American men and women of science. $p The medical sciences.
130 0 Journal. $n Part A (Society for the Preservation of Victorian Houses)
245 00 Journal. $n Part A / $c Society for the Preservation of Victorian Houses.
Cataloging with OCLC member level copy will involve verifying all occurrences of uniform titles and, as necessary—and in consultation with the trainer—editing or assigning uniform titles:
What to search: According to LCRI 25.5B: If the “title proper is identical to the title proper of another serial/series found in the catalog in a bibliographic record or the title proper in the heading of any series authority record (for series, multipart item, phrase, or serial)”, a uniform title, normally the title proper with an appropriate qualifier, must be created and assigned).
No uniform title in record:
1) Search OCLC/Voyager (both bibliographic and authority files) to ensure the title is unique among serial titles, series titles and series authority records.
2) Consult with the trainer if a uniform title must be assigned.
Uniform title in record:
1) Search OCLC/Voyager (bibliographic and authority files) to ensure:
· Necessity of uniform title (i.e., is the title proper already unique without the uniform title?) (CCM 5.2 (When to assign a uniform title), 5.2.5 (When not to add a uniform title))
· Uniqueness of uniform title
· Appropriateness of uniform title for the serial title in hand (See examples above and CCM 5.3. (Choice and form of qualifiers (i.e., conflict resolution)); AACR2/LCRI 25.5B. (conflict resolution) as necessary)
· Geographic and corporate body headings must be in AACR2 form.
2) Accept uniform titles that are in compliance with AACR2/LCRI/CCM practice, do not conflict and are necessary.
3) Consult with the trainer if uniform titles:
· Do not appear to be necessary
· Conflict
· Have unsuitable qualifiers according to CCM/AACR2/LCRI.
Language editions/translations: (see also Linking entries, Language editions/Translations) If the serial in hand is a translation/language edition of another serials it should have a uniform title that consists of the main entry of the original plus the name of the language in subfield “l”. (See CCM 5.6 (Uniform titles for translations and language editions)). (See also CCM 14.3.1: Linking entries: translations (fields 765/767) and Language editions (field 775))
Example:
130 0 Fiziologiia restenii. $l English
245 10 Plant physiology
If the record has a uniform title for the translation/language edition, or if there is no such uniform title and you suspect the existence of a language edition or translation, verify in either case that the item is a translation/language edition. Evidence that an item is a translation is found either on the piece and/or from searching in OCLC/Voyager.
If a language edition or translation is involved:
1) Search in OCLC/Voyager to locate record for the original. The title proper of the original should be the basis for the uniform title.
2) If no record for the original is located, but the title for the original is on the piece in hand, that title should be used.
3) If no evidence of the original title can be found, do not create a uniform title and remove an unverifiable uniform title. Use a 580 note to indicate the existence of other language or translation editions.
Title changes involving uniform titles: A title change occurs when:
1) Corporate body used as qualifier in a uniform title changes (name change or a different body is responsible)
2) original title changes (translations/language editions). See CCM 16.4.
Do not create uniform title authority records in Voyager.
Consult the trainer as necessary.
1st indicator set to “1”: 245 and uniform title for translation/language edition present; 245 and 110 or 100 present.
1st indicator set to “0”: 245 only present; 245 and all other uniform titles present.
2nd indicator must be set for the correct number of non-filing characters.
1) Ensure that you have a correct matching title, that the title on the chief source of the piece(s) in hand correctly matches that of the chief source title indicated in the bibliographic record. If there are discrepancies, see the document on Major/minor changes to see if a new record needs to be created. If a new record needs to be created or if there are still uncertainties, bring the title to the attention of the supervisor.
2) If you suspect the serial title may be treated as a monographic series (issues have distinctive titles, coded “m” in fixed field “Type”) in Tulanet or by LC, search LCAF/TULAF.
a) If the serial is already treated as a monographic series in Voyager and this practice is delineated in TULAF, the item(s) will be cataloged as a monograph(s).
b) If the serial is already treated as a monographic series in Voyager and this practice is not delineated in TULAF, see the trainer, or if the serial title was formerly treated as a series by LC and LC has decided no longer to analyze the title, see: Treatment of "644 n" Titles.
c) If LC has always treated the serial as a monographic series, the title will be cataloged as a monograph.
Section title/number of part/section of a work: Common and section titles are transcribed as part of the title proper as long as they both appear on the same source. Sometimes section titles have numeric or alphabetic designations, which are recorded in $n (number of part/section of a work). It is also possible a journal will have only $n without a section title in $p.
Verify this information and ensure it is correctly coded, and be aware of the following:
1) A record without a section title that is present on the piece (s) in hand is probably not a match and must have its own catalog record.
2) Do not add section titles to records unless there is clear evidence they have been omitted in error.
3) In verifying both 1) and 2), look for both elements (common and section) of the title on the piece.
4) If you suspect a problem such as described I 1) or 2), consult with the trainer.
Examples:
245 00 Historical statistics. $p Supplement /
245 00 Daily report. $p Western Europe.
245 00 Daily report. $p North America.
130 0 Dissertation abstracts. $n A. $p Humanities and social sciences

210, 222, 242, 247: these fields are either input only by other agencies or not used by us.
Other title information (245, $b):
(see CCM 6.3.3.d., for Other title info. summary table)
Examples: 245 Insight.
500 Issue for <1999-> has subtitle: Journal of politics.
500 Description based on: Bd. 1 (1992).
(CCM 6.4.)
Example:
245 00 Konferenzberichte. $p Kernforschung, Kerntechnik = $b Conference papers. Nuclear research, nuclear technology / $c Fachinformationszentrum Energie, Physik, Mathematik.
246 31 Conference papers. $p Nuclear research, nuclear technology
246 1# $i Issues for <1991-> have English title: $a Conference papers. $p Nuclear research and nuclear technology
Statement of responsibility (245, $c):
For serials, the majority of their records will have not statement of responsibility, or if they do, a corporate body may be present there. This body should have had the main responsibility for the creation of the serial. Bodies that are only publishers do not appear in the statement of responsibility. In order to be recorded, the body must appear prominently on the chief source. An added entry (710) would be created for such an entity and authority work completed as necessary. If such a new corporate body appears on subsequent issues, record it in a note (550) with the date for the issue, and create an added entry.
(CCM 6.5)
Varying form of title
(246): <lcd>
Variants can be made for the following:
1) Generally accept 246 variant titles present in bibliographic records, unless it clearly offers no additional access or if the title variants would not be added according to LCRI/AACR2/CCM (for example, most types of other title information are not recorded as variant titles).
2) Since the variant may no longer appear on issues in hand or may have changed their location, do not delete the field or edit it to indicate the change of location unless it is clearly in error.
3) Add new important variant titles in a 246 field
a. With 2nd indicators 2-8: as necessary record date or volume number of first/last occurrence in $f (use angle brackets when first/last issue uncertain).
b. Sometimes specialized notes are required in $i, which also may include an informal issue date/volume number.
Examples
245 10 Monthly checklist of state publications / $c …
246 14 State publications monthly checklist $f <July 1976->
245 00 Crime and delinquency.
246 1# $i Issues for Oct. 1975- called: $a Crime & delinquency
For reference see also CCM 7.2. Types of variant titles; CEG, Section E., Variable data fields, 20X-24X, 246, Editing instructions.
Edition statement (250) <lcd>: Edition statements are rare for serials. Do not confuse a numbered edition statement and a volume designation. If you have questions, consult the trainer. Ensure the piece(s) in hand have the same edition statement as the record.
Unlike monographs, do not try to match a title in hand to its bibliographic record solely from the publication information on the pieces or in the records. This information changes and is not reflected in the 260 field and not always recorded in the record (500 notes) by catalogers. Changes in publisher and place of publication should be indicated in a 500 note for publication information.
Dates (260, $c): Dates should be recorded only when the record indicates the original cataloger had the first or last issue in hand. Otherwise leave a blank space after the comma. If the first or last issue is now in hand, dates, even questionable ones, must be added. Edit this field accordingly.
Example: 260 Cambridge, Mass. : $b Harvard University Press,
500 Description based on: Vol. 11, published in 1997.
260 Paris : $b Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, $c [1967-
362 0 1 (July 1967)-
Physical description (300): <lcd>: Ensure that “v.” has been recorded in the 300, $a. Accept other subfields or their absence. Electronic remote access serials do not have a 300 field.
Frequency note (310 current/321 previous) <lcd>:
Verify, add or correct as necessary the current frequency (310) from:
If the current frequency cannot be ascertained at all, do not add a 310 note and do not change the fixed fields Freq/Regl codes. If a current frequency 310 note cannot be verified and no information conflicts with it, accept the 310 in the record.
When the frequency has changed:
It is not necessary to verify existing 321 fields.
Example: 310 Six no. a year, $b <1991-> [uncertain dates use angle brackets]
321 Quarterly, $b Mar. 1977-
CCM 13.3.
Designations (362/500): <lcd>: a), b), c), d)
a) Generally accept formatted and unformatted 362 fields that have beginning designations with “1st”, or “1”, etc., such as “Vol. 1 (1998)- ”. If the first issue is in hand, ensure that such designations have been recorded correctly.
b) Attempt to verify any 362 for supposed beginning designations that do not start with a numbered first issue, if the issue recorded in the 362 is in hand. If the issue is in hand and verification is successful, and if the 362 is unformatted, change the 362 to a formatted form.
c) If the designation is being recorded differently on subsequent issues in hand, record this information in a 515 note (Numbering peculiarities note). See CCM 8.6.3; CED.
d) If a designation system starts over again on subsequent issues (for example starts over with “New series, vol. 1, issue 1”), record it in the 362 field following the earlier designation after a space-semicolon-space (see CCM 8.6.2)
Example: 362 0 Vol.
1, no. 1 (May 1980)-v. 8, no. 2 (Feb. 1988) ; new ser., Vol. 1, no. 1 (Mar.
1988)-
e) If
a designation system starts over again on subsequent issues with exactly the
same numbering system, distinguish the new successive designations with the
bracketed term “[new ser.]”.
Example: 362 0
No. 1-no. 6 ; [new ser.], no. 1-
Try to verify unformatted and formatted 362 fields which claim to report the ending issue of a serial title. As ending designations imply the cessation of a serial title, other aspects of the record and title in hand need to be investigated, verified, or edited, depending on whether the serial has simply ceased publication or has undergone a title change. To verify a cessation/title change:
1) Check the piece(s) (primary source of information)
2) Search OCLC/Voyager if it is thought that bibliographic information regarding a cessation or title change can be found (a record for a continuing title, records for issues which may have been cataloged as monographs, etc.)
3) Search publishers websites, Ulrichs periodicals directory (http://www.ulrichsweb.com/), or other Web sources as necessary.
If it is not possible to verify the finality of the serial, and there appears to be no evidence that issues have been published after the 362 cessation designation, generally accept the ending designations in 362 fields. Accordingly, if there are indications that a title change has occurred, other aspects of the record will need to be verified or edited and the continuing title or titles may need to be cataloged. (See, Title Change ).
Chronological designation only: Be skeptical of formatted and unformatted 362 fields containing only a date as a beginning designation. If it is doubtful a serial began with a date shown in the 362 field, delete the 362 field and place that date in a “Description based on” note (see below, this section).
Fixed field/Imprint date: Verify or edit fixed field dates, and in some cases the 260 field $c, so that they reflect beginning/ending dates recorded in formatted 362 fields. Fixed field dates also reflect dates recorded in unformatted 362 fields, but 260 $c date is left blank in these cases.
Ensure that the 362 indicator is correctly set.
Description based on note:
Example: Description based on: Vol. 12, published in 2001.
Example: Description based on: 2000/2001; title from cover.
For special problems with the designation, see CCM 8.5.
Source of title: <lcd> If the issue upon which the description of a record is based is in hand, and the title proper (245) was transcribed from a title page substitute such as the cover or the caption (i.e., there is no title page), ensure that a note is present indicating the source of title. For electronic resources, always give a source of title note.
500 Title from caption.
500 Description based on: Vol. 10, no. 9 (May 1997); title from cover.
500 Title from journal home page. [electronic resource]
Publishing information: Generally accept 500 notes that record subsequent publishing information such as new publishers, place, etc. Add notes as necessary to record current publishers and place of publication. Ensure that the latest place of publication corresponds to the fixed field “Ctry” code. Publishers are not traced.
500 Published: Bristol, Conn., -1977.
500 Imprint varies.
500 Publisher: Blackwell, <1991->
500 Publishers: J. Haway, <1842>; J. & W. Horne, <1847>
550: Verify or add 550 (Issuing bodies note; CCM 13.5.) notes to record subsequently named, important corporate bodies, which have responsibility beyond publishing and will be traced. Include the date of the issue when the body was listed. If not already present, a 710 for the body must be added to the record.
Example: 550 Issued by: Rossiiskaia akademiia nauk, 1991-
550 Issued by: Dept. of Fish and Game, Division of Fisheries, Research Branch, 1989-1990; the Division's Research and Analysis Branch, <1991->
515 (Numbering peculiarities; CCM 13.4.1): Add or verify 515 notes when needed or used for the following purposes:
1) To indicate a change in the numbering terminology or when part of the designation has changed or is no longer used <lcd>.
Example: 362 0 Vol. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 1989)-
515 Issues for Feb. 1997- lack volume numbers.
2) When issues are combined or issued in parts <lcd>.
Example: 515 Some issues combined [some issues are called, for example, Vol. 7, nos. 3/4]
515 Issued in parts [for example, vol. 10, no. 6 might be in two physical volumes or parts]
3) Report year coverage for other than calendar year (Jan-Dec.).
4) See CCM 13.4.2 for further uses.
525 (Supplement): This field is used when a supplement is cataloged on the record for the main serial.
Example: 525 Has occasional supplements.
580 (Linking entry complexity): Ensure that this field is used when notes generated via the linking entry are insufficient or for reprint notes. Also, ensure that linking entry fields that are explained in the 580 note have first indicators set to “1”.
Example: 580

Note: Distinctive title notes (500): “Each issue also has a distinctive title”. This type of note may indicate the possibility that the serial title is treated as a monographic series either in Tulanet or by LC (see Title statement)
<lcd>:
1) Accept subject headings with second indicator “0”, “1”, (or “2” in records with DNLM/DLC in 040)). Delete others.
2) Briefly perform subject analysis of serial to ensure suitability of subject headings for the item being cataloged.
3) If there are no subject headings or subject heading appear to be inadequate, bring serial title to trainer/supervisor.
4) Ensure that form subdivisions such as “Periodicals”, “Directories, or “Indexes”, etc., have the correct subfield tag “v”.
Generally complete verification/editing of the physical description and access before assigning/verifying subject headings to a record. This may aid in becoming familiar with a particular title’s content. Keep in mind that many serials are well served by one subject heading that is specific to the topic covered by a given serial. (see Journal examples below). There should not normally be different levels of LCSH hierarchies assigned to a work, except in the exception that a serial might cover a broad topic with an emphasis on a specific case or cases in every issue (e.g., a journal that is about some aspect of Argentina but has at least 20% of its continuous coverage on Latin America).
