II. The entity is consisted of audio cassettes with or without booklets or other textual supplements
Special treatments in the Bibliographic record
- The bib record is created for Sound Recordings
- Call number and Subject headings are the same with above; however, as an OSUL locale practice, we add a “Call number suffix” and in this case it is “Phonotape cassette.” Example, PL1129.E5 B3 1999 Phonotape cassette
- Fixed fields: (1) Type should be i for Non-musical sound recording; (2) Comp is nn for Non-musical; (3) LTxt is j for Language instruction.
- Add 007
- Add h sub field $h [sound recording] in the 245 field
- In the 300 field, describe how many cassettes and in b sub field, use analog if proper. For example, 300 __ 4 sound cassettes : $b analog
- The MAT TYPE field value should be g for Audiovisuals (In Constant data, sub field m in the first 949 is g)
Special treatment in the Item record(s)
- The Labeling section can pack and group cassettes into 3, 4, 8 or 12 in one container. So, add item record(s) accordingly.
- The volume identifier “cassette” in the item record can be omitted to avoid redundancy with call number suffix.
- The I TYPE value should be 3 for Audiovisual (In Constant data, sub field t in the secondary 949 is 3)
- Location. Keep language instructional audio cassettes on MAI regular stack, so use “maise” in all book and cassette Item records.
