MARC records from vendors

MARC records supplied by vendors require editing before they can be batch-loaded into the catalog. This page describes edits that need to be made to all vendor-supplied records.

Online facsimiles

Delete:

506 Restrictions on access (Folger reserves this for physical restrictions; license restrictions are implicit in 852$h)
538 ("Mode of access: Internet" and "Mode of access: WWW" are no longer necessary)

Replace, if necessary:

LDR/06: do not use "m" for digital or digitized documents (electronic aspects are coded in 006 and 007 instead)
LDR/06: for digitized manuscripts, use codes t, d, and f (Folger practice is contrary to OCLC, which considers digitized manuscripts to be "published" resources)
008/23: use "o" ("online") not "s" ("electronic")
006 for digital and digitized documents: m||||o|||d||||||||
007 for digital scans of documents: cr\un|---uuuua (in theory, "color" and "antecedent/source" could be coded something other than "unknown" but in practice, we want the records to remain valid if a vendor replaces page images scanned from microfilm with page images scanned from the original)
007 for native ebooks: cr\un|---uuuun
Link text in 852 other than $u if they don't make sense for the Folger catalog

Move:

Vendor 001 and 003 move to 035, in this format and order (unless a different match point is required): (003)001

Oxford Scholarly Editions Online (OSEO)

272 records
Remove individual records for each volume of Martin Wiggins and Catherine Richardson, British Drama 1533–1642: A Catalogue in favor of one record for the entire set (rec id 544900): subject headings are identical, and tables of contents are very incomplete (e.g. v. 1 covers 1533-1566 with entries for 440 plays, but table of contents only has entries for 37 plays, and goes to the start of 1537). Note: punctuation in 245$a varies, so search by field "F#:245$c Martin Wiggins and Catherine Richardson (eds)" to find all nine in MarcEdit.
Note: MARC 008 for both volumes of The correspondence of Sir Philip Sidney is incorrect. Vendor record has 130909s2012\\\\enka\\\fo|\\\o0|0\0\eng|d but should have 130909s2012\\\\enka\\\fob\\\\001\0\eng|d.
