There are several methods for cataloging reproductions. In all of these methods, the description is based on the original hard copy publication, with details of the microform given in the 533 note. All reproductions, including reproductions of reproductions, should be considered reproductions of the hard copy serial. (CCM:32.3.2)
Preferred Source. When cataloging originally, use as the preferred source the title page of the hard copy serial, as reproduced. If there is no title page, use the cover or other preliminaries. A common problem with the cataloging of reproduction microforms occurs when there is no title page and the cover has been removed during the filming process. The only source of title may be the editorial or contents page and the title may vary from that given on the cover. In such cases, use the title Microforms Module 32, page 26 from the best available source. Order of preference for title page substitutes is given in RDA 2.2.2.2.
Authorized access point representing the work (1XX). When cloning or transcribing from a catalog card, the choice of authorized access point representing the work should be the same as that for the hard copy serial. For original cataloging, follow the instructions in RDA 19.2.1.1.1- 19.2.1.1.3 to determine whether a corporate body or other entity should be recorded in MARC 1XX as a creator.
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.
