TLDR
This article examines the new MAchine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) 336, 337 and 338 fields and how libraries are choosing to display the new fields in their Online Public Access Catalogs, with a specific focus on current practices for libraries using Innovative Interfaces, Inc. (III) integrated library systems.Abstract:
This article examines the new MAchine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) 336, 337 and 338 (Content, Media, and Carrier Type) fields and how libraries are choosing to display the new fields in their Online Public Access Catalogs, with a specific focus on current practices for libraries using Innovative Interfaces, Inc. (III) integrated library systems. Format descriptors in the MARC record under Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, second edition (AACR2) rules are discussed along with the emergence of the Content, Media, and Carrier Type fields under Resource Description and Access. A survey was sent to III libraries inquiring how the libraries were displaying the new fields. The results are discussed with future possibilities presented.read more
