Special treatments in the item record for the CD-ROM(s)
- Set location code as “micy2″ for CD-ROM or Computer files to be shelved at the Main Library’s CD-ROM collection area
- Do NOT use “cdrom” in the volume field. If there are more than one pieces of CD-ROMs but they are in one case, use “pt.1-n”. If they are not in one case, make separate item records for each.
Treatment for the accompanying booklet (or other forms of materials)
- If the booklet is separate from the CD-ROMs, make an item record for it. Set to the same location. Use volume identifiers such as “suppl.” “guide” etc.
- If the booklet is small and can be inserted to the case of the CD-ROMs, then there is no necessary to create a separate item record for it.
Ask when you are uncertain.
