Title statement. The title statement contains the title of the hard copy as reproduced. Titles on the microform headers and the container should not be included in the title statement. When cloning or transcribing catalog cards, give the title statement as it appears on the record(s) for the hard copy. When cataloging originally, record the title in MARC field 245 according to RDA 2.3.2-2.3.5. (CCM:32.3.3c)
Authorized access point for serial work or expression (130/240). When cloning an RDA print record, the same authorized access point should be retained and used for the microform reproduction. A new authorized access point with an addition such as “(Microfilm)” is not assigned to distinguish the microform reproduction from the hard copy or from other versions of the microform. However, if the first issue is available on the microform, and the hard copy was described based on a later issue, assign an authorized access point qualifier, if one is needed, based on the earliest information, even if this means changing the qualifier in the hard copy record.
When cloning a PCC-coded print record that was cataloged according to AACR2 and assigned a uniform title, the same uniform title should be added to the record for the reproduction microform.
Variant title (246). For microforms, an important access point can be the title found in the eye-readable microfiche header or on the container. The microform itself may also contain variant titles not found in the hard copy.

Publication, distribution area (264). For original records, record the publishing details of the hard copy serial in MARC field(s) 264, following RDA 2.8.1-2.8.6.
For cloned records where the print record was created under pre-RDA rules and does not need to be re-described because it is coded PCC, publisher information appears in MARC field 260. CEG field 260 provides more detailed information about this field. If known, record in MARC field 533 the publishing details of the microform in subfields $a=Form of reproduction, $m= Dates of publication and/or sequential designation of issues reproduced. $b=Place of publication, $c=Agency responsible for the reproduction, and $d=Date of microreproduction, $e=Physical description of microreproduction. (CCM:32.3.3i)
For form of production ($a) use one of the following designations: aperture card, microfiche, microfilm, or microopaque. In most cases, microfiche or microfilm will be the appropriate designation. Subfield $m contains the extent of the original publication that has been reproduced.
