=== ǂb  Sublocation or collection ===
Used in Folger cataloging to identify the physical location of the collection. Note that ǂb contains a code, not the display name, and some display names have drifted far from their coded equivalents. For example, "DeckB-Mod" displays as "Deck B - Open Stacks". Depending on the location code, an abbreviation may need to be added to the call number at the end of subfield ǂi.
Identifies the pre-renovation location of the resource. This code was migrated for historic purposes. It has no current application in the [[TIND ILS]].

Revision as of 18:48, 31 October 2022

MARC field 852 in the bibliographic and holdings formats contains the call numbers for the described item. (See Call numbers for information on formulating the call number portion of field 852.) It may also contain accession and copy-specific information, as well as private notes that contain the cataloger's initials, date of cataloging or revision, and other staff notes not suitable for public display. Private notes are hidden in the Details and Brief displays in Hamnet, but can be seen in the MARC view.

ǂd Former shelving location

As of 18 April 2014, old call numbers for reclassified material go here, including those preceded by a size designation. This subfield generates the Hamnet display label "Former call number." Use for any change, including call numbers that have been changed to add "copy 1."
ǂd Folio STC 9668 Bd.w. STC 9557 v.3

ǂk Call number prefix

This subfield is excluded from the left-anchored call number search. Folger cataloging (as of 18 April 2014) makes no general use of this subfield, though it is still found on many records. Move any size designations encountered in routine cataloging from ‡k to ‡m, following call number guidelines, but do not seek them out (this may be done systematically at some time in the future).

ǂh Classification part

The call number, or first of two parts of a call number.

  • For local call numbers, the entire string except the size designation goes in this subfield.
  • For LC call numbers, holds the part of the call number specifying the subject. If there is one cutter, everything preceding the cutter goes in the ǂh. If there are two cutters, everything preceding the first cutter goes in the ǂh. If there is a date and no cutter, everything preceding the date in the ǂh.
    • Full call number: DA615.O3 1720 Cage. Encoded: ǂh DA615
    • Full call number: PR9619.3.K55 C66 2008. Encoded: ǂh PR9619.3.K55

ǂi Item part

This subfield is used exclusively for LC call numbers.

  • If there is one cutter, the cutter and everything following goes in the ǂi.
  • If there are two cutters, the second cutter and everything following goes in the ǂi.
  • If there is a date and no cutter, the date and everything following goes in the ǂi.
    • Full call number: DA615.O3 1720 Cage. Encoded: ǂi .O3 1720 Cage
    • Full call number: PR9619.3.K55 C66 2008. Encoded: ǂi C66 2008

ǂm Call number suffix

Used in Folger call numbers to record location information not apparent from the main part of the call number or the location code. As of September 2015, this subfield is the main area to record size designations. (Subfield ‡k was previously used for this purpose, and is still present in many records. Move any size designations encountered in routine cataloging from ‡k to ‡m, following call number guidelines, but do not seek them out - this may be done systematically at some time in the future.)

For art on paper, framed works, objects, etc., the suffix is subject to change, and so should not be written on the item. For printed books, the shelving types "(folio)" and "(flat)" are part of the call number, and so should be written on the item and on flags and labels. For example:

Art folder: ǂm (size M)
Printed book: ǂm (folio)
Framed painting on Deck C: ǂm (aisle 102)
Object in Craven Vault drawer: ǂm (B2a)

ǂj Shelving control number

For records created prior to November 2016, this subfield contained the accession number. The accession number is now recorded in MARC 541 ǂe UPDATE: For migration to the TIND ILS, accession number was temporarily moved back to 852$j; it will be returned to 541$e once additional coding is in place.

ǂx Nonpublic note

Private note not suitable for public display. Previously used to record cataloger's initials and date of work; as of 2015 this information is in MARC 583. ǂx AJD 20120321 ǂx rev. SEH 20140307

ǂz Public note

Copy-specific information for books, prints, and other resources that can exist in multiple. In general, follow the order of copy notes as given below. Use natural language, but try to incorporate standard terminology when possible.

Imperfections

Missing leaves:

ǂz Imperfect: lacking half-title.
ǂz Imperfect: wanting all after page 22.
If the item is so imperfect as to be only a fragment, include "fragment" in the call number, but still begin the note with "Imperfect": ǂz Imperfect: fragment consisting of title leaf only.
If the frontispiece is a plate, just call it a frontispiece.
ǂz Imperfect: missing frontispiece.
If the frontispiece is integral, call it a frontispiece and give the signature, e.g.,
ǂz Imperfect: lacking frontispiece (leaf A1) or ǂz Imperfect: wanting leaf A1 (frontispiece)
If missing a blank leaf, note the fact but do not preface it with "Imperfect:"
ǂz Wanting final blank leaf.
Note when trimming or any other damage results in loss of printed material, even if the loss is minor and the text is still readable.
ǂz Small hole on leaf F2, with slight loss of text.
ǂz Wormed in places; cropped at foot of leaves, with slight loss of text.
ǂz Cropped at head, cutting slightly into headlines.
ǂz Most marginal notes shaved or cropped with slight loss.

Provenance

Folger practice: When transcribing provenance information from an item, such as inscriptions or annotations by previous owners, generally follow DCRM transcription guidelines. For manuscripts, prefer semi-diplomatic transcription when it differs from DCRM.

ǂz Autograph: Thos Floud Exeter 1776.
ǂz Manuscript number '9' pencilled on title page in early hand.
ǂz Frontispiece signed in manuscript: "E. [Philbin or Phillips] [Powell?] fecit"; outer bottom edge torn away.

Markings

  • Describe the nature of manuscript markings. In general, specify underlining, manicules, prices, annotations, corrections, genealogical information.
  • Describe the density of manuscript markings. We have not designated approved terms, but good examples are: A few, slight, scattered, moderate, copious
  • Add corresponding 655 provenance headings only if, in your judgment, a researcher studying annotations would not be disappointed if it came up from the vault. Researchers attempting a comprehensive search can use copy note keyword searches to pick up the instances of less significant markings.
