Field 583 in the bibliographic and holdings formats contains information about processing, reference, and preservation actions. The Folger uses field 583 to record conservation treatments needed and/or performed, to gather cataloging statistics, and to indicate when [[preliminary cataloging]] has been done. This field is repeatable. | |||
== | ==Basic use and searching== | ||
'''Basic use:''' | |||
* Add new 583 fields after existing 583s (so that the history of what has happened to the material can be read from old to new). | |||
* Do not delete out-dated 583s: instead, change ǂz to ǂx on out-dated information so that previous condition doesn't display in a public note (e.g., when "Running tears on leaves A5, N1, N4" are mended, change that note from Public to Non-public.) | |||
'''Searching''': | |||
*This field is keyword searchable. It is included in the "all notes" search on the [https://catalog.folger.edu/?ln=en&as=1 Advanced search screen]. | |||

Field 583 in the bibliographic and holdings formats contains information about processing, reference, and preservation actions. The Folger uses field 583 to record conservation treatments needed and/or performed, to gather cataloging statistics, and to indicate when preliminary cataloging has been done. This field is repeatable.
Basic use and searching
Basic use:
- Add new 583 fields after existing 583s (so that the history of what has happened to the material can be read from old to new).
- Do not delete out-dated 583s: instead, change ǂz to ǂx on out-dated information so that previous condition doesn't display in a public note (e.g., when "Running tears on leaves A5, N1, N4" are mended, change that note from Public to Non-public.)
Searching:
- This field is keyword searchable. It is included in the "all notes" search on the Advanced search screen.

Cataloging: policy and formulation
Reminder: only use ǂz (public note) for condition notes.
ǂa - Action (NR)
Use a term from the following list (terms should be entered entirely in lowercase, except for proper nouns):
- ad hoc record created (stub record created)
- batch edited (records changed through MarcEdit and TIND's Batch Uploader)
- batch loaded (records created by batch upload from vendor records or .csv file)
- preliminary cataloging (record meets Folger Preliminary cataloging standards)
- cataloged (item-in-hand cataloging in OCLC of material that has never been cataloged, and brought into the Folger catalog)
- recataloged (item-in-hand recataloging in OCLC or the Folger catalog of material previously cataloged by Folger staff)
- copy added (new copy added, bib record not substantially changed)
- recon (information copied from cards)
- WorldCat import (records imported from WorldCat to the Folger catalog as part of a special project)
- revised (anything that doesn't fit elsewhere--explain the action in the nonpublic note; for example, used by Metadata Specialist and by interns doing database clean-up and enhancement; see also "Nonpublic note") [prior to December 2018 the term "upgraded" was used instead of "revised]. Note: If you're just fixing a typo, or making a similarly quick change that doesn't alter the substance of the record, don't bother with the 583. As a general guideline, if it would take longer to add the 583 than it did to make the adjustment, don't add a 583.
ǂc - Time/date of action (R)
Year and month the action was completed, in ISO 8601 format as : yyyy-mm or yyyy-mm-dd.
ǂj - Jurisdiction (R)
Funding agency or project name. Used only for grant-funded and other special projects.
ǂk - Action agent (R)
Cataloger initials.
ǂn - Extent (R)
Number of physical pieces cataloged or added (for books, most often corresponds to “volumes”) or number of links added. Not used for "Preliminary cataloging."
Since this only corresponds with physical volumes, sammelbands should have "1" for the first bib record and "0" for subsequent records.
ǂo - Type of unit (R)
Unit represented in the preceding ǂn. For cataloging, always piece or pieces (whether it's a volume, a single-sheet print, a letter, etc.). For linking, always link or links. Terminology for archival records yet to be determined.
ǂx - Nonpublic note (R)
Additional information. Used primarily to indicate the type of upgrade for "ǂa revised", especially the type of upgrade is one that's being counted for reporting purposes. Use a term from the following list if applicable (so the combination of $a and $x are machine-countable for statistics):
- collation
- clean-up [use for database clean-up stemming from Backstage processing]
- exhibition history
- Folgerpedia
- heading
- Luna
- reclassified
- vault transfer
- Wings of Desire
If none of the above terms apply, make a free-text note when appropriate (e.g. to document a significant correction or addition)
ǂ2 - Source of term (NR)
Always local
ǂ3 Materials specified (NR)
Use ǂ3 - Materials specified if the bibliographic record covers multiple copies.
ǂ5 - Institution to which field applies (NR)
Always DFo
