Preferred Title and Other MARC Fields (130, 246, 300, 588, 530, 776, 856)

⮚Preferred Title (130)

Following RDA and provider neutral guidelines, use the authorized access point on the print record, if one exists. If not, and the title matches that of another unrelated serial, use an appropriate qualifier as instructed in RDA without mention of the electronic format. (CCM: 33.18.5)

130 0# $a Kansas City times (Kansas City, Mo. : 1908)

not

130 0# $a Kansas City times (Kansas City, Mo. : 1908 : online)

⮚Other MARC Fields (246, 300, 588, 530, 776, 856)

Variant titles may appear on title screens or elsewhere in electronic newspapers. File or directory names may be included as 246 fields if the cataloger believes someone would search for the electronic newspaper by those names. Record all variant titles as specifically as possible.

246 1# $i Some providers have text-based browser title: $a Internet edition of the San Francisco chronicle

Physical description is a core requirement for ceased online newspapers, but optional for those currently published. Preferably include it in all online newspaper records.

300 ## $a 1 online resource (40 volumes) : $b illustrations

When cataloging an online version as a simultaneous edition of a printed serial, give a "description based on" note if the online version does not begin with the first issue of the printed version. The beginning dates of the print version may be given in a 362 1# field: (CCM: 33.18.9)

245 00 $a http://Gazette.com $h [electronic resource].

362 1# $a Print began with: 74th year, no. 25040 (Feb. 5, 1946).

588 0# $a Vol. 125, no. 365 (Mar. 23, 1997); title from home page (viewed Dec. 11, 2000).

Field 776 is used for other versions and editions in another physical format (for example, print, microfilm, or CD-ROM). Use a 530 note to describe these other versions and editions (CCM 33.15.3) if needed for clarity.

130 0# $a Detroit news (Detroit, Mich.)

776 08 $i Print version: $t Detroit news (Detroit, Mich.) $x 1055-2715 $w (DLC)sn 83016183 $w (OCoLC)9611687

Record the URL in field 856, along with other information required to locate an electronic item. Record this information from the most recent issue of the electronic newspaper because URLs are relatively unstable. If the resource is available by more than one method of access, repeat the field with data appropriate for each access method. (CCM: 33.18.11)

Subfields $3 and $z are also used in 856 fields for newspapers. Use these fields only when needed to distinguish or clarify. Subfield $3 is input at the beginning of the field to indicate that a portion of the publication is available at a particular site. Subfield $z gives general instructions on interpreting the field, and is generally also input at the beginning of the field. (CCM: 33.18.11)

130 0# $a Gainesville sun (Gainesville, Fla. : 1963)

245 10 $a Gainesville sun.
