MARSC21 Holdings Records Workshop

Abstract

As ALEPH customers upgrade to versions 15 and higher, many libraries will be using all of the MARC21 Holdings Standard fields for the first time. While most serials librarians/catalogers are familiar with some of the fields (such as the 853-855 fields), many are unfamiliar with other parts of the format, such as the fixed fields (LDR and 008 fields) and other holdings fields (such as the 863-865 fields, indicators and subfield values). The purpose of this workshop is to introduce or reintroduce NAAUG librarians to the MARC21 Holdings Format and demonstrate how it can be used in ALEPH Version 16.

Topics Presented:

* MARC21 Holdings Format:
* The Leader and 008 fields
* The 852, Location and access field, subfields and indicators
* The 853-855 fields, review of subfields and discussion of indicator values and subfield 8 values
* The 863-865 fields, indicator values, subfield values, recording of published and non-published gaps
* 866-868 fields, indicators and subfield 8 values
* Public display of holdings data
* ALEPH 16 options for creating a predicted set of issues

Audience: Catalogers and serials staff who will be adding detailed holdings information to ther holdings records.
