Leader
The template is pre-filled with values that should be appropriate for most e-serials:
| bibliographic level: s | serial |
| type of record: a | primarily language material |
| descriptive cataloging form: i | cataloged with ISBD punctuation |
The 008 is used to record the serial characteristics, the 006 to record the online characteristics, and the 007 to record "physical" characteristics. In most cases the 006 and 007 can be left as is.
006
The template is pre-filled with a few basic values, sufficient in most cases:
| form of material: m | e-resource |
| form of item: o | online |
| type of computer file: d | document |
007
The template is pre-filled with a few basic values, sufficient in most cases:
| category of material: c | computer file |
| specific material designation: r | remote |
| color: m | mixed |
| dimensions: n | not applicable |
008
Though pre-filled with some values, the 008 always needs updating:
Type of date/publication status

Change to d if ceased or u if unknown.
