CD-ROM (computer files) accompanied with/without booklet

If the item you are dealing with is in the format of CD-ROM —
First, determine whether the content on the CD-ROM is chiefly textual (digitazation of books etc), or computer software, or audio files?

When to use $h [computer file]?
What is “computer file”? Computer file includes the following classes of electronic resources: computer software (including programs, games and fonts), numeric data, computer-oriented multimedia, online systems or services. For these classes of materials, if a significant aspect causes it to fall into another Type category, code for that significant aspect. OCLC Bib Formats & Standard

~PROCEDURES~
Special treatments in the bibliographic record
OCLC MARC record

  • Use form “Computer files.”
  • Code the Type field with “m” (for computer file)
  • Code the Form field with “s” (for electronic)
  • Add a 006 field: From [menu] Edit - Guided Entry - Insert 006 - Computer files. A 006 field will be added and it looks like this
    006 m d
  • Add a 007 field as follows
    007 c ǂb o ǂd c ǂe g
  • Add $h [electronic resource] immediately following title proper in the 245 field
  • As a OSUL local practice, add the suffix “Computer file” to the end of the call number
  • Add + $e in the 300 field

Bib record on OPAC (Mellinnium)

  • Set the location code as “mic”

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.

Examples

  • 二十一代集 [electronic resource]
    Nijūichidaishū [electronic resource]
    PL758.21 .N54 1999 Computer file
  • Inglés interactivo del Siglo XXI [electronic resource]
    PE1129 .S8 I54 2002 Computer file
