Series Authority Guidelines for Catalogers
1. COPY CATALOGERS
1.1 Ordering & pre-cataloging
Continue to verify series against established standing orders as usual. If an analytical call number is present in the record, consult with Senior Copy Cataloging Manager. Do check 490 0 if that’s the only series statement found in the record. Keyword searching is recommended for this task.
1.2 LC copy Cataloging
Any 490 0 in the LC records will be accepted as is; correct only typographical errors. If an analytical call number is present in the record, give title to Senior Copy Cataloging Manager.
2. SENIOR COPY CATALOGERS
Send to DBM only Series Authority Record printout for numbered, traced series (with or without x-ref) for which no Sirsi authority record is found.
3. ORIGINAL CATALOGERS
Send to DBM only Series Authority Record printout for numbered, traced series (with or without x-ref) for which no Sirsi authority record is found.
