| Cataloging a Photocopy of a Rare Printed Item (LTS Procedure #90) Scope: This is the procedure that Special Materials staff use to catalog a photocopy of a rare printed item. Contact: Margaret Nichols Unit: LTS Special Materials Date last updated: 03/27/08 Date of next review: March 2009 In the fixed fields, use "r" for the date code, and enter first the date of the photocopy, and then the date of the original. In the 300 field, record the extent of the original. Add a 533 field to describe the photocopy.
If the work is a photocopy of a pre-1800 European work or a pre-1821 American one, trace the original publication date and publisher in special files fields just as you would if you were cataloging the original. |
