guides.

Comments on the PCC Guide:

The provider neutral e-monograph MARC record guide (combining
electronic SMD with collation of original) is a giant step forward
from the strange mix of carrier and content SMDs in AACR2 samples.  It
is also a return to AACR2 in cataloguing the item in hand not using 533. 
The advice not to use 256 computer file characteristics is also good.

But its provisions differ in some ways from those SLC clients have
come to prefer.

The provision for 020 ISBN agrees with SLC practice: 020$a for the
electronic ISBN, and 020$z for the print ISBN.  MARC21 has the same
provision for 010 LCCN, but that practice is not suggested.  The Guide
suggests print LCCN be entered in 776$w.  The Guide also advises
against the use of 530 for other format availability, which our
clients like.

Where there can be electronic vendor added value, making the
electronic version a different edition from the same work provided by
another vendor, we have found combining the print and electronic
imprint information helpful; the print publisher in 260$a$b$c, and the
electronic publisher in 260$e$f$g.  This is of course not a provider
neutral record, since there would be only one provider of such an
enhanced resource.

The SMD "online resource" is too general, applying to electronic
texts, websites, computer games, streaming  video, etc.   The use of
the term "online resource" duplicates that term in MARC21 338 carrier
type, and will be redundant when that field is entered.  The carrier
type and SMD terms need not agree, e.g., "computer disc" in 338, and
"CD-ROM" in 300.
                                       
Our clients find cut and pasted 505 contents, and 520 abstracts, to be
valuable, increasing the use of remote electronic resources, due to
the popularity of keyword searching.

Our clients find keywords assigned by authors to be helpful.  We give
them in repeating 653.

At 830 series, the OCLC non acceptance of $xISSN is given as a reason
for not giving that information.  We don't think nonstandard OCLC
limitations should determine cataloguing agency practice.

OLAC guide for playaways:

http://www.olacinc.org/drupal/capc_files/playawaysPDF.pdf

SLC considers 245$h[electronic resource] to be misleading, and,
prefers (in anticipation of RDA/MARC21 338/336) a compound GMD and
SMD, e.g., 245$h[equipment : sound recording], 300  $a1 MP3 :
performed music or : spoken word.

See at end of Slotmusic and other special guides.

=======================================================================

Suggested practices:

Create a separate record for print and electronic resources
(according to rules (AACR2 1998).  This is primarily because the two
formats have different GMD (later 336-338) requirements.   CONSER (a
group which sets standard for serials) allows electronic versions of
serials to be added to the print record.  If adopted, this one record
practice should be limited to serials for which the library has both
the print and electronic forms, in order to have a unified holdings
record.  It should never by used for electronic monographs,
particularly since the PCC provider neutral record guide.

The MARC field tags make a good checklist because they are more exact
than terms would be.

The current version of MARC used in North America, Australia and
increasingly in Europe is MARC21, a harmonization of USMARC. CANMARC
and UKMARC, with adaptations for Germany.

MARC records are composed of fixed (same place, same length) and
variable fields.  Fixed fields are in a Leader, and in fields 006,
007, and 008.  In bibliographic utilities and local systems these
fixed fields are often broken out into separate named elements for ease
of entry.  In some software, they are given in small windows within a
larger window, one small window for each element.  At first fixed
fields seem abstruse; soon more common ones will become second nature.

See the bibliographic utility's coding manual or MARC21 for codes not
included here.

Fixed Fields

LDR/06 (Type):
     a = language material (used for text in electronic form)
     k = two-dimensional nonprojectable graphic
     m = computer file (limited to computer programs and games)
     
     When a code other than "m" is given in LDR/06 for text or photographs
     in electronic form, field 006/00 "m" and 007/00 "c" are used to record
     the computer file aspect; 008 type information is recorded in 006, and
     physical characteristics in 007.

With LDR/06 = a, 008/23 = s; with LDR/06 = k, 008/29 = s; to indicate
electronic; or o for online vs. q for physically inhouse.

LDR/07 (Bib lvl):
     m = monograph
     s = serial (see Serials Cataloguing Cheat Sheet)
     i = integrating (i.e. a website)

LDR/17 (Enc lvl):
     blank = full record item viewed
     1 = full record item not viewed
     2 = less than full record
     i = OCLC full record       }    Prefer MARC21
     k = OCLC less than full    }    codes

LDR/18 (Des cat form):
     a = AACR/ISBD

006/00 (Additional material or characteristics):
     m = computer file/electronic resource
     s = serial/integrating resource
     Other 008 type information in subsequent positions, e.g.:
     09 (see 008 26) d = document

007/00 (Additional physical characteristics):
     c = computer file
     Physical characteristics may be recorded in subsequent positions,
     e.g.:
     01 b = chip
     01 j = magnetic disk
     01 m = magnetic-optical disc
     01 o = optical disk
     01 r = remote

 
008/06 (Date type):
     s = single date
     c = continuation (see Serial Cataloguing Cheat Sheet)
     d = dead serial (see Serial Cataloguing Cheat Sheet)
     m = multiple dates
     n =  unknown (try to use q and guess decade)
     q = date in question, e.g. 194u
     
     Most websites would be treated like loose-leaf services, i.e., Date
     type = "m", date one = beginning date, and date two = "9999".

008/07-10 (Date one):
     year of publication (s), or beginning (m)

008/11-14 (Date two):
     year of ending (m)
     use 9999 if still being produced, issued, or revised

008/15-17 (Country):   
 
     Use place of publication or location of website
     at  = Australia
     optical = England
     fr  = France
     gw  = Germany
     it  = Italy
     ja   = Japan
   
    States (U.S.):
      alu  aku  azu  aru  cau  cou  ctu  deu  dcu  flu  gau
      hiu  idu  ilu  inu  iau  ksu  kyu  lau  mau  mdu  meu
      miu  mnu  mou  msu  mtu  nbu  ncu  ndu  nhu  nju  nmu
      nvu  nyu  ohu  oku  oru  pau  riu  scu  sdu  tnu  txu
      utu  vau  vtu  wau  wiu  wvu wyu
      xxu = United States, state unknown

    Provinces (Canada):
      abc bcc mbc nfc nbc nsc ntc nuc onc pic quc snc ykc
      xxc = Canada, province unknown

008/18-21 (Illus. for monographs; up to four codes may be used) 
    a = illustrated 
    b = maps* 
    c = ports* 
    d = charts* 
    e = plans* 
    f = plates 
    g = music* 
    h = facsims* 
    i = coats of arms 
    j = geneological tables 
    k = forms* 
    o = photographs 
     
     use also in 300 field

008/18 (Frequency for continuations)
     integrating resource
     a = annual
     d = daily
     k = continuously updated
     u = unknown

     see MARC221 for other frequency codes

008/19 (Regularity for continuations)
     r = regular
     u = unknown

     see MARC21 for other codes

008/21 (Type of continuation)
     m = monographic serial
     n = newspaper
     p = periodical
     w = updating website

008/22 (Form of original continuation)
     blank = not microform, etc.
     s = electronic

008/23 (Form of item monograph and continuation) 
    One-character alphabetic code that specifies the form of material for
    the item.
    blank - None of the following
    o - Online
    q - Direct electronic
    s - Electronic
    | - No attempt to code
   
Codes "o" and "q" split the functionality previously covered by the single
code "s".  This new coding was developed specifically to address concerns
over direct access (e.g, a CD-ROM) and remote access filtering of results. 
 
An online resource on CD-ROM would be "q", while an online electronic
resource would be coded "o".

008/24 blank

008/25-27 (Cont):
    a = abstracts, summaries
    b = bibliographies (with 504)

    r = directories
    s = statistics

008/28 (Govt pub):
     blank = not govt. pub.
     i = international body (e.g. UNESCO)
     f = federal
     l = local (towns, counties)
     s = state, province
     w = website

008/30-33 blank for continuations

008/31 (Index):
     0 = no index
     1 = index

008/34 (Entry convention for continuation)
    0 = successive
    2 = integrating 

008/35-37 (Lang):
     language of text or predominate language
     eng = English
     fre = French
     ger = German
     spa = Spanish

008/39 (Source):
     source of cataloging
     blank = DLC
     d = local library

Variable Fields

010  LCCN

     Originally LC card order number; rarely present for original electronic 
     items.

     Key in MARC record with three blank spaces in front, and 0's as
     needed replacing "-", to equal 8 spaces.  If the LCCN for the print
     version, change 010$a to $z when cataloguing the electronic version.

     The PCC provider neutral guide suggests 776$w for print LCCN, q.v. 

016  National bibliographic agency control number other than LC

     If for the print version, change 016$a to $z when cataloguing the 
     electronic version.

020  ISBN

     International Standard Bibliographic Number (ISBN) is rarely
     present for an original electronic item.  In MARC record, key without
      hyphens. If the ISBN for the print version, change $a to $z when 
     cataloguing the electronic version.  Include the 10 and 13 digit 
     isbn in separate 020s.  Older DLC records may have 13 digit ISBN
     in 024.

022  ISSN

     International Standard Serial Number (ISSN); rarely present for an
     electronic item, but usually present for a print serial to which an
     electronic serial might be added.  In MARC record, key with central
     hyphen.

040  Cataloguing agency

     Field 040 says $a who catalogued; $b in which language (LAC records
     only); $c who made it machine readable; and $d who finished the record.
     Today originals are usually done in one operation online, but use 040
     $aCaBNvSL$cCaBNvSL$dCaBNvSL (substitute your NUC code for SLC's) for 
     original records.  
     
     For derived records, leave in $b language code (may be used by a Quebec
     library to determine display - aka print - constants generated by 246 
     indicators); repeat the 040$a code in $c if lacking; and add $dCaBNvSL 
     (or your code) at the end.  MARC record checking software expects to 
     find at least subfields $a and $c.  Remove any existing $d apart from 
     DLC. 
      
     041 Languages

    Language codes for translated or multilingual works, Since
    008/35-37 can contain only one code.  See MARC21.

050 LCC

     Library of Congress call number (LCC);  In MARC record key
     as 050 2nd indicator 0 (assigned at LC) or 4 (local), e.g.: 050  4
    $aAB1234.5$b.D78 1998, or if two Cutters, 050 4 $aAB123.5.C6$bD78
    1999. Note period for first Cutter, $b for second, both for one
    Cutter, but only one of each.  In OCLC records often in 090.

060  NLMC

     National Library of Medicine call number.

082  DDC

     Dewey Decimal call number (DDC);  2nd indicator 0 if assigned
     by LC, 4 if local.  Omit Cutter.  Use " / " to indicate natural
     breaks. In OCLC records, locally assigned DDC numbers plus Cutter 
     are keyed in 092.

090  Local call number.
 
     MARC tag number varies with system.  At SLC coded with slashes for 
     line breaks, e.g.:
     090 0  $aAB/1234.5/C6/D78/1998$bMAIN$c1-2$d1-2 ($b = location,
     $ccopies, $dvolumes)
     
     In some OCLC records keyed like 050 and used for locally assigned LCC 
     numbers.  Prefer 050 4 as MARC21 standard.

092  see 082.

100  Personal author

     Author; if the work has three or fewer authors (and that is authors,
     not compilers or editors) the first is given, surname first.  A
     compiler *is* the author of an index or bibliography however.  Personal
     authors are rare for electronic media apart from reproductions; most are 
     mixed responsibility. In      MARC records key 1st indicator 1 for surname, 
     e.g.: 100 1  $aSmith, Jones,$d1932- The library's or LC's authority file 
     should be checked for this and all 1XX and 7XX fields to insure uniformity 
     for the same person or body.
     
     With RDA, enter under first author, regardless of number.     

110  Corporate author

     If the work is the annual report of a corporate body, the report of a
     task force, or some such, the corporate body is the author.  There are
     fewer corporate bodies as author (main entry) under current rules than
     earlier.
    
     In MARC records, key 1st indicator 1 for a corporate body which
     begins with a jurisdiction, 2 for direct order, e.g.:
    110 1  $aCanada.$bDept. of State. 110 2  $aCanadian Unitarian Council.

     With RDA, entry for a treatise will be first country mentioned.

111  Conference

     If what you have is conference proceedings, the name of the conference
     is the author.
     
     In a MARC record the name is followed by $d(number :$ddate
    :$cPlace), or if no number, $d(date :$cPlace).
     BUT 110$a 2  $aCorporate Name.$bConference$n( ...

130  Uniform title as main entry  

     If the work is a sacred work such as the Bible, that common title
     (known as a uniform title) goes in 130.  Some sacred works have
     been digitized and are on the Web.. For the Bible you give language
     and date. For parts of the Bible you start with Bible, e.g., in a MARC
     record:
     130 $aBible.$pO.T.$pGenesis$lEnglish$f1995

     With RDA, "N.T." and "O.T." will be omitted from between Bible and
     name of book.

240  Uniform title

     Uniform title as filing title; only after a 100 or 110.  (Both 130
     and 240 being called uniform title shows how MARC works as a check
     list better than words.)  For classical music, laws, and very voluminous
     authors like Shakespeare, most libraries have a title which brings the
     same works together.  To construct one, best look at some in the
     catalogue for examples (as with 130s).  They will be very rare for
     electronic media.  While the uniform title is displayed in square
     brackets, do not use square brackets for the MARC record.

     For SLC, enter the original title of a translation as 246 1  $aTranslation
     of:, as opposed to 240.

245  Title

     The title as in the title frame, or most complete source nearest
     the material; use a ":$b" before subtitles, "=$b" before a title in
     another language; followed by "/$c" and up to three authors in
     present.  If more than three, give the first followed by "... [et
     al.]." (The title is the main entry in this case, i.e., no 100 or
     110.) If they did different things, use a ";", e.g. /$ccreated by
     John Smith ; examples by Tim Jones. Only the first word and proper
     names are capitalized.  

     With RDA. all authors are recorded in 245 .$c regardless of number,
     and first given is main entry.

     Names of Acts are proper names. All German nouns are capitalized.
  
     
     In a MARC record, use 1st indicator 0 for title main entry, 1
     (for title added entry) if there is a 1XX, 2nd indicator for number
     of spaces to be skipped in filing, e.g., A = 2, An = 3, and The - 4,
     because of the space following the initial article, e.g.: 245 04 $aThe
     North American directory of hermits, churls, and curmudgeons$h[electronic
     resource] :$ba guide to the reclusive /$cedited by Tom Jones.

     It is SLC practice, contrary to SLC, to use ",$bor" for alternate
     titles.

245$h[general material designation]

    If the item is nonbook, a general material designation follows the
    first title proper.  It is enclosed in square brackets.  (Some old
    OCLC records will be found without the brackets.) All electronic
    resources now have the GMD $h[electronic resource].  The GMD
    $h[interactive multimedia] was proposed, but never adopted.
    Some libraries (extra AACR2) qualify the GMD, e.g., $h[electronic 
    resource (CD-ROM)], $h[electronic resource (website)].    
    When there is a GMD, there should also be an SMD.  See 300.

246  Alternate title

     Alternate title which represents the whole work, e.g.: 246 31
     $aParallel title 246 14 $aCover title 246 15 $aAdded title page
     title 246 1  $iAt head of title:$aPhrase at head of title 1st indicator
     3 means added entry, no note; 1st indicator 1 means added entry and
     note; the second indicator says which print constant to use for the
     note; if no print constant is available, use $i$a as shown.

247  Former title

     Former title of a website, the title of which has changed.

250  Edition
     e.g., 
     2nd ed., Rev. ed., English ed., ASCII ed.  If an author created 
     edition, you would enter after /$b.

256  Computer file characteristics
     e.g., 
     Computer data (# of files), Computer program (# of files).

     Prefer field 516.
       
     The PCC  provider neutral records guide suggests this field not 
     be used.  
     
260  Imprint
     e.g.,
     260  $aChicago, Ill. :$bUniversity of Chicago,$c2000-

     If aggregator differs from publisher, this form may be used, e.g:
     260  $a<Place :$bPublisher,$cDate>$e(Saint-Lazare, Quebec :$fGibson
     Library Connections,$g2006.)  This is particularly appropriate 
      is there is added value which makes the particular electronic 
     version a separate manifestation.

     The PCC provider neutral guide suggests no mention of provider.

     LC/PCC have implemented MARC21 repeating 260:

<http://www.oclc.org/us/en/support/documentation/worldcat/tb/257/257.pdf>

     It is SLC policy to have only one 260.  Following AACR2, that 260
     will be the current publisher of websites; contra AACR2, current
     publisher of serials and sets-in-progress.  Earlier publishers are in
     503, exported as 500 for any client who does not wish this obsolete
     field.

300  Collation
  
     When there is a GMD, there is required for physical items,
     and best for all items, an SMD (specific material designation) following
     the number, e.g., for a CD-ROM:
     300  $a1 CD-ROM :$bcol. ill. ;$c4 1/2 in.
     
     Older records have 1 computer optical disc. and prior to that, computer
     laser optical disc.
      
     It is best to always supply a 300 in order to have an SMD., e.g.:
     
     300 $a1 website (text, animated col. ill. <and/or whatever>) 
         :$bdigital files. 
     300  $a1 electronic text (<#> p, : <ill.>) :$bdigital file.
     300  $a1 streaming video (30 min.) :$bcol. :$bdigital file.

     The PCC provider neutral record guide suggests "1 online 
     resource" followed by collation of original in curves for electronic
     monographs, e.g., 300   $a1 online resource (<#> p.) :$bill.  The 
     term "online resource" would duplicate RDA/MARC21 338, and is not
     specific enough; use "electronic text", "website", "streaming video",
     "computer program", etc.

     Use the most popular term for new physical media, e.g.:
     300  $a1 compact flash chip (200 photographs) :$bdigital file.
     300  $a1 miniCD-ROM (col. ill.) ;$c6 x 8 cm.
     If the miniCD-ROM says "Business card CD-R", or "Shaped CD-R" on 
     the item or container, give as a 500 quoted note.

     Describe the item in the SMD, not the content, e.g. have "map" or 
     "maps" in curves following the SMD, not as the SMD, for a PDF file 
     of  map(s); AACR2 mixed examples not withstanding.

     Older records often lack 300 for remote electronic resources.
     Cf. field 516.

336-338 See at end.

Websites are rarely part of a series, but CD-ROMS and PDFs often are.

   
440  Series as on item and traced (obsolete)
     
     
490 Series as on item.
    
    Beginning June 1, 2006, the US Library of Congress is coding all
    series as 490 0.

    It has been SLC policy since January of 1979 to have no 490 0 in
    bibliographic records.  (Some but not all SLC customers index 490
    in their series and/or title indexes, making access uneven between
    customers.)  When you encounter a 490 0, and it contains no subject
    word, or a responsible corporate body or person, e.g., "Penguin 
    books", change the 490 0 to a 500 quoted pseudo series statement.

    If the 490 0 transcribed series statement contains a subject word,
    e.g., "Studies in chemistry", change the 490 0 to 490 1, and enter
    the series in 830  with 2nd filing indicator 0-4.  If the series title
    is generic, e.g., "Report" or "Works", and has been established in 
    either the LC or LAC authority files, add the name of the responsible 
    body or person in curves. 

    Provide ";$v" issue number or year as relevant.  Include ISSN in $x 
    if available.

    All series changed from 490 0 will be under title; SLC will not
    create 800/810/811.  for current LC derived or original cataloguing.
    Those headings in legacy and Amicus records will be left unchanged, 
    but 830 for the 8XX$t will be added for the benefit of customers who 
    do not index 8XX$t.

500  Notes

     General notes.  There are also specific notes.  As a beginner, if
     you see something which seems helpful on the title page, just quote it,
     e.g., 500 $a"Your complete information resource."

Some other common notes include:

502 Thesis, e.g., Thesis (PhD)--Podunk University, 1995.

503  Bibliographic history

     Now obsolete in MARC21, but still used by SLC, e.g., for the earlier
     publisher of a website.

504 Includes bibliographical references (p.   ) and index.

    But if index only, 500  $aIncludes index.

505 Contents
    
    Cut and pasted contents from a PDF table of contents greatly increases 
    the use of the item due to keyword search.

506  Restrictions on access.  

     If access is limited, it may be noted here,
     e.g., 
     Access limited to faculty and registered students of X Institution. 
     Such restrictions are applied by the vendor when a paid license is 
     required for use of the resource.

     The PCC provider neutral record guide suggests that this field
     not be used, since it may vary from provider to provider.

508  Non cast credits

510  Citation/References

     Some find where the material is indexed helpful, one indexer
     per 510.

511  Cast credits

516  Type of computer file 

     e.g., Text (Law reports), Numeric (Statistics).

518  Where and when an event was held

520  Summary or Abstract.  

    Our clients tell us that inclusion of summaries or abstracts increases
    use due to keyword searching.  But if quoting with "--<source>", we
    attempt to screen out publisher's "puff" adjectives substituting
    "...", and just include the parts which actually tell you something
    about the item.  When cataloguing an electronic resource from a PDF,
    there is often a summary or abstract which can be cut and pasted.

525 How updated
    e.g., 
    Additional material added monthly.

530  Other version available  

     If the electronic resource you are cataloguing also exists in print 
     form, that could be noted here, e.g.:

     530  $aAlso available in print from <Publisher>.

533  Reproduction.  

     If the original version is described in 1XX-4XX (following LC practice),
     the imprint information of the electronic reproduction is given here.
     That is contrary to AACR2 as well as Library and Archives Canada 
     practice, and SLC preferred practice.  The provider of electronic
     monographs and records ebrary still uses 533 for electronic monographs.
     
     The PCC provider neutral record guide suggest that this field not
     be used.

534  Original version.  

     If the electronic resource you are cataloguing is a reproduction of a 
     print version, the print version imprint information may be given here.  
     See also 776.

     The PCC provider neutral record guide suggest the original be 
     described in linking field 776 (q.v.), even if the print record is not 
     in the catalogue for linking.  Field 530 for the availability of the 
     print version is more suited to most OPACs.

538  Systems details note.  

     Records the requirements for use, e.g.:
     538  $aRequires IBM 360 or 370; 9K bytes of internal memory; OS SVS 
     and OSM VS.  
     538  $aLinks require Internet access and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

     For an online resource, the URL may be in 538$u.  See also 856.

     Most libraries prefer this as first note.

     The PCC provider neutral record guide suggests that this field not be 
     used, since it might differ among providers.

540  Restrictions on use

     Restrictions on use once access has been gained.  It might be best
     to not use this field, but rather record all restrictions in 506,
     particularly if notes are arranged in tag order in your OPAC.  The
     numbering sequence given notes by MARBI (the group responsible for MARC)
     bear no resemblance to either AACR or common sense.

     The PCC provider neutral record guide would not have 506 or 540.

546  Languages
     e.g., 
     Text in English and French.

588 Source of description.

    For example, "Title from container.", "Last issue consulted: ...".

6XX  Subjects.  

     In MARC records, subject subdivisions have subfield codes:
     $xTopic, $yPeriod, $zPlace, $vGenre.

600  Person as subject

     In same format as person as 100 author.

610  Corporate body as subject
 
         including governments.  In same format as 110.

611  Conference as subject.

      In same format as 111.

630  Uniform title as subject.

650  Topic as subject
     e.g.:
     650  0 $aChemistry$vElectronic information resources.
     650  0 $aChemsitry$xPeriodicals$v$vElectronic information resources.

651  Place as subject 

     But not governments, e.g.:
     651  0 $aCanada$xHistory$y1755-1763$vElectronic information resources.

653  Key words

     Often authors assign keywords, sometimes at the end of the abstract.
     These may be recorded in 653, one term per occurrence.

655  Genre

     What the item is, e.g.:
     655  0 $aElectronic information resources.

700  Person as added entry
     
     e..g., the 2nd and 3rd of three authors, the  first of more than three, 
     editors.

    With RDA, number of added author entries is not restricted.

710  Corporate body as added entry.

     Same format as 110.

     The PCC provider neutral record guide suggests no added entry for 
     provider.

711  Conference as added entry.

     Same format as 111.

740  Title added entry

     Now in MARC titles which represent the whole work are coded 246, while 
     titles which represent part of the work or a related work, are here.

776  Additional physical form entry

     The PCC provider neutral record guide suggests that the print original
     of an electronic reproduction be recorded here.  If the full form is
     not desired, it may be abbreviated, e.g.:
     776  $c(Original)$z<ISBN$w(DLC)<LCCN>, with LCCN justified as in 010.

830  Series entered in catalogue.  

     Series as in the resource s in 490 1st indicator 1, and series tracing 
     is here.  PCC advises using the print version of the series, and not 
     qualifying as "(Electronic)" or "(Online)".

856  Electronic location and access.

   First indicator:
   0 = e-mail
   1 = FTP
   2 = Telnet
   3 = Dial-up
   4 = HTTP
   7 = Method given in $2

   Second indicator:
   0 = Resource
   1 = Version of resource (used when added to record for print version)
   2 = Related resource
   8 = No display constant

   Subfields:
   $a = Host
   $b = Access number
   $c = Compression information
   $d = Path
   $f = Electronic name
   $g = Uniform resource name (URN)
   $h = Processor of request
   $i = Instruction
   $j = Bits per second
   $k = Password
   $l = Logon
   $m = Contact for access assistance
   $n = Name of location of host
   $o = Operating system
   $p = Port
   $q = Electronic format type
   $r = Settings
   $s = File size
   $t = Terminal emulation
   $u = Uniform resource locator (URL)
   $v = Hours of access
   $w = Record control number
   $x = Nonpublic note
   $z = Public note
   $2 = Access method (other than provided in 1st indicator)
   $3 = Material specified
   $6 = Linkage
   $8 = Field link and sequence number

   Many libraries would use only subfield $u, since the URL would contain
   all the information required for access.  Many libraries are now making
   this a live link, so that clicking on it will take the patron directly
   to the electronic text or website.

     The PCC provider neutral record guide suggests that the print original
     of an electronic reproduction be recorded here.  If the full form is
     not desired, it may be abbreviated, e.g.:

776  $c(Original)$z<ISBN$w(DLC)<LCCN>

RDA will introduce 336-338 replacing 245$h.

For ILSs not displaying 336-338, SLC will export as a compound 245$h,
245$h[338 carrier : 336 content], e.g., 245$h[online resource : text].
337 will not be exported.

For 336-338, only those terms relevant to electronic resources are
given.

336 Content
 
Fortunately we catalogue very little cartographic material, we we will
not be affected by that too wordy list of terms.  As usual, music
cataloguers have achieved a sensible, patron friendly, list of terms.

337 Media Type

We've substituted ISBD Area 0 "Electronic" for RDA's "Computer".  Our
patrons would think we were describing a piece of equipment, if we 
used that term.  We would only export 337 on request.
