Guidelines for call numbers and marking
- CD-ROM has call number with last line CD-ROM.
- DVD-ROM has call number with last line DVD-ROM.
- CD-ROM or DVD-ROM is barcoded appropriately (see Barcoding sound recordings Processing Electronic Resources, Section VIII, Chapter B). If disc lacks jewel case, they can be found in the supply cabinet over the sink area.
- Circular RU Library label is affixed to upper surface of disc.

- At the Marking Table the book is stamped with the statement “CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM) at Circulation Desk” or other location both above the barcode and beside any existing pocket for the CD-ROM. If the Marking Table does not have a stamp for a particular location, the appropriate location will be written in the book above the barcode and beside any existing pocket by the cataloger (until we receive more than one such item per year per location).
Exception: A CD-ROM or DVD-ROM that accompanies a book cataloged to STAFFUSE remains in the existing pocket. The presence of the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM is noted in the 300 field of the record and in the Number of Pieces well.
1.4 Serials with computer optical discs
The following procedures are used for CD-ROMs or DVD-ROMs supplementary to serial publications shelved in Current Periodicals or unbound in the stacks:.
When a CD-ROM comes with an individual issue, it is checked in on the current holdings then given to the appropriate designated person in Technical Cataloging and Metadata Services to make a copy (unless prohibited). The original CD-ROM is placed in the file in Technical Cataloging and Metadata Services and the copy is put in a pocket in the issue that is given to the Serials Shelver.
For DVD-ROMs, or if a CD-ROM cannot be copied, the original is sent to the Circulation - Desk permanently, and a note to that effect is entered in the MARC holdings 867 field in the subfield x. The The disc is barcoded, has an item record created, and is added to the holdings of the bibliographic record of the print serial by Acquisitions or by the Serials Cataloger. The The call number is the same as for the serial but with the last element CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. The The item type should be CD-ROM-S, CD-ROM-B, DVD-S-ROM, or DVD-B-ROM to reflect the item type (SERIAL or BOOK) of the publication. For marking instructions see Titles composed of a printed volume and a computer optical disc (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM)Sec. 1.3, Guidelines for call numbers and marking above.
When loose serial issues are picked up for binding, supplementary CD-ROM copies are held in Binding Preservation Services until the volume returns from the bindery. If the CD-ROM has been lost, another copy can be made from the original. A hold is placed to alert binding Preservation Services personnel to place the copy of the CD-ROM in a pocket in the back of the volume, and adjust holdings. The CD-ROM is listed in the MARC holdings 867 field indicating the volume it accompanies. The piece count on the item record for the bound volume is adjusted to reflect the printed volume plus the CD-ROMS(s) and any guides in pockets. Binding Preservation Services personnel do not need to do anything for CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs that remain permanently at the Circulation Desk.
Serials that are received bound with accompanying CD-ROMs are treated like monographs.
1.5 Printed volume with a video recording
For titles composed of a printed volume and a video recording (cassette or DVD), the printed volume remains in the stacks, with the original copy of the video recording shelved at the Circulation Desk . (No no copies of video recordings will be made).)
Books accompanied by videos are marked on the interior to indicate the availability of the video recording.
- Upon receipt, Acquisitions determines circulation based upon copyright requirements and flags videos to be restricted. Video recordings circulate dependent upon copyright restrictions and the borrower’s status.
- Serial issues published as videos or videos accompanying serial issues or volumes are given a call number record with the location CircCIRC-Desk DESK or the appropriate location in the satellite library in which the serial is located.

2. MEDIA WITH ACCOMPANYING PRINT MATERIAL
2.1 Microforms with print
A title composed of microform with a printed index or guide is, as a rule, cataloged as a unit. The microfilm is cataloged to location GOV-MICRO. The guide to sets or series has item type REF-BOOK, location GOV-REF, and is sent to Government Publications to be shelved near microform set. The word "Guide" is the last element of the call number. The The disposition of second copies of such guides is determined by the Head of Government Publications and Special Resources. In the past they were added with a REFERENCE location; now they are usually added as c.2 in GOV-MICROREF.

If the guide fits inside the case,:

Manuals may be sent to In-house Binding Preservation Services for PAM-binding or for pockets for small reference cards.
Non-circulating discs. A non-circulating CD-ROM or DVD-ROM with printed guide(s) or separate data files may be left in the original container or placed in a jewel case. The physical description in the bibliographic record enumerates the accompanying material.

A title composed of a diskette with a printed guide is cataloged as a unit. The original diskette, labeled with the call number and control number, is placed in the original diskette file in Technical Services. A duplicate diskette, copied by Technical Services, is sent to the designated location. If copying is prohibited for a diskette, refer the item to the Head of Technical Services.
2.3 Audio recording with guideIf the printed guide remains in a container with the software, the call number is penciled on the guide and the piece count reflects the number of diskettes plus the printed guide. If the guide is shelved separately, it has an item record and barcode.
Titles composed of an audio recording with a printed guide have location CIRC-DESK. If the guide fits inside the media case and can be circulated with the recording, it is not barcoded. If the guide is separate from the media or accompanies more than one container of media, it has a separate item record and barcode . See (see Processing Sound Recordings for details, Section VIII, Chapter E).
2.4 Videorecording with guide
