Cataloging & Serials: Holdings
Editing the MARC Holdings 008 Field



Receipt Status
For reporting purposes, it is extremely important that this field is coded accurately and consistently.

    0 = Unknown (rarely used)
    1 = Other receipt or acquisition status
      When a title has multiple holdings locations, use Receipt Status "1" for all locations except the location receiving current issues. If a title has been cancelled, see Receipt Status "5" for additional information.
      See details below.
    2 = Complete (single-volume monographs, complete monographic sets or serial dead titles/title changes, including dead titles with accessible online archives)
      NOTE: follow examples used in Receipt status 5 when coding titles with multiple locations
    3 = On order
    4 = Currently receiving (multi-volume monographs, looseleaf for updating, locations with currently received serials & periodicals, including those for online versions)
    5 = Not currently receiving or cancelled titles
      When a title with multiple holdings is cancelled:
      • Code the suppressed current location as "5" (e.g., prr or sci per)
      • Code the location with the most recent bound volumes as "5" (e.g., main)
      • Leave all remaining locations as "1"

    NOTE: Additional information about Receipt Status 1: Other receipt or acquisition status

    Receipt Status "1" will be used for:

    • permanent locations of titles, e.g., "main", where there is also a current location
    • locations, other than the permanent main location, when a title is cancelled
    • microform periodicals not currently received when there is a current location
    • annex locations when there is also a current location
    • other locations that house a limited number of older volumes

    Example 1
    The Library has both current, bound, and microform holdings:

      Location Type of Holdings Receipt Status
      sci per current issues 4
      main (or per) bound vols. 1
      mic older vols. 1
      ofb older vols. 1

    Example 2
    The Library has cancelled current print, but still receives fiche, and has bound volumes. (In reports, suppressed records can be ignored.)

      Location Type of Holdings Receipt Status
      prr cancelled 5 (record is suppressed)
      main (or per) bound vols. 5
      mic current vols. 4
      ofb older vols. 1

    Example 3
    The Library has 2 current print subscriptions, bound and microform older holdings. One of the current subscriptions is cancelled. (In reports, suppressed records can be ignored.)

      Location Type of Holdings Receipt Status
      phys per current issues 4
      sci per cancelled 5 (record is suppressed)
      main bound vols. (Hale subscription cancelled) 5
      mic older vols. 1
      ofb older vols. 1

    Example 4
    The Library has current subscriptions in various locations, and owns bound and microform older holdings:

      Location Type of Holdings Receipt Status
      sci per current issues 4
      gov prr current issues 4
      per bound vols. 1
      gov bound vols. 1
      mic older vols. 1
      ofb older vols. 1

    Example 5
    Title ceased or was canceled but Library has a current subscription to online archives:

      Location Type of Holdings Receipt Status
      sci per ceased 2 (record is suppressed)
      per bound older vols. 2
      net access to online archives 2

Method of Acquisition

    d = Deposit (federal and state depository items)
    e = Exchange
    f = Free (titles acquired at no cost--if uncertain, use "g" for gift)
      Online journals--if "free with print"
      Gov Pubs--use for "free from agency"
      One-time journal vol. (library has in print) on CD-ROM
    g* = Gift
      serials: titles given as a gift subscription, usually ongoing
      monographs: use "g" when applicable
    p = Purchase
    u = Unknown (use for retrocon titles, except when other status is known)
    z = Other methods (rarely used)

    *Titles coded as gift (gi) in subfield x of the 852 will be coded as "g" when doing a retrospective clean-up.


Cancellation Date

    For serials, the Cancellation Date reflects when our subscription should end.

    Blanks indicate that the title is ongoing (for serials) or monographic.

    Given in yymm format, this example shows a serial subscription that ended in June 1999.


General Retention Policy
(For translating retention codes of serials from the 852 |x on former NOTIS holdings records, see Retention Codes)

    0 = not used
    1 = use for leased items, or for electronic resources that KSU will not have access to when subscription ends if known
    2 = for loose-leaf items (e.g., U.S. Code)
    3 = not used
    4 = used for titles in current reading areas that are replaced by microform
    5 = used for items discarded when a cumulation/replacement volume is received
    6 = items maintained in location (usually a current reading area) until bound or discarded
      (used in conjunction with the Specific Retention Policy)
    7 = used for items that are immediately discarded
    8 = permanently retained in location (monographs and serials); for online resources: use when Libraries has ongoing access to current and/or archives of titles


Specific Retention Policy
Used almost exclusively with serial titles at K-State Libraries and always in conjunction with General Retention Policies coded as "6."

    Policy Type

      No specific retention policy

      Leave this field blank except in the following situations:
      Code the Specific Retention Policy only for materials that are transferred from one location to another after 1 year (or 2 years, or 5 years, etc.); or for materials (such as periodicals) that are only retained for 3 months (or 6 months, etc.) in a reading area.

      Latest

      Title held in location for a specified period of time, i.e., 1 year, or 6 months)

      Previous

      Title transferred to multiple locations.
      Example:
      1999 is in vetm ref; 1998 is in ref; 1997 is in ils; 1996 is in main.
      Vetm ref--would be coded as "l" for latest year;
      Ref and ils have previous editions and would be coded as "p";
      Main is the permanent location and would be coded as General Retention "8" with no specific retention policy.


    Number of Units
    This code specifies the number of units or parts that are retained. It is restricted by MARC values to display only up to 9 values.

    Leave this field blank unless volumes are transferred between locations or are discarded after a certain period of time.

      Examples:

      • Library retains 5 years of a title in "ref." Code the number of units as "5."
      • Library retains latest 6 months in "prr." Code the number of units as "6."

      Exception: Titles retained 10 years or more in a specific location:
      Code as "No specific retention policy." In the 852 |x, add the following note to indicate retention policy:

        Latest 10 [or 15, etc.] years in [location]; transfer to [location.]


    Unit Type
    Describes the period of retention or the part that is retained.

    Leave this field blank unless volumes are transferred between locations or are discarded after a certain period of time.

      Examples:

      • Library retains latest 2 years of a title in "ref." Code the unit type as "y."
      • Current periodicals reading area retains latest 6 months. Code the unit type as "m."


    Specific Retention Policy Examples

    Example 1: Latest one year in location:
    General Retention policy = 6 ; Specific Retention is l1y

    Example 2: Latest edition in Ready Reference; earlier editions transferred to multiple locations:
    (Start at bottom left and follow different holdings records clockwise.)



Completeness
Estimate how much of a published run is held by the Libraries at the time of cataloging. (The estimate applies to the specific holdings record being coded. Refer to the 362 or fixed field "date1" to determine the extent of the run.)

Codes 0 - 3 are used for serials; code 4 for monographs and online resources.

    0 = Other = all items coded with General Retention Policy "6"
    1 = Complete = location has 90%-100%
    2 = Incomplete = location has 50%-90%
    3 = Scattered = location has less than 50%
    4 = Not applicable = use for single-volume monographs, mono looseleafs, and electronic resources when no holdings (86Xs) are recorded

    EXAMPLE:
    Run of serial title is v. 1 - v. 50; Annex holdings are v. 1 - v. 20; Main has v. 21 - v. 50.
    Completeness code for Annex should be "3" (Annex holds less than 50%).
    Completeness code for Main should be "2" (Main has more than 50%).


Lending Policy: applies to KSUL's external lending (ILL) policy

    a = Will lend = for circulating items and microfilm.

    b = Will not lend = for items with an item type of no loan (including microfiche, LAN and electronic titles, unless noted differently).

    u = Unkown = use "u" if unsure.


Reproduction Policy

    a = Will reproduce = for print and microform titles.

    b = Will not reproduce = for A/V materials, software, maps, LAN and electronic titles.

    u = Unknown = use "u" if unsure.


Language

    Used with serials and multi-volume monographs: the 3 letter code that indicates the language of the enumeration/chronology. The item in hand may be in English, but if the enum/chron says "Bd.", the language code would be "ger" for German.

    Use "und" if uncertain about the language.

    Use "|||" when no holdings (86Xs) are recorded.



Number of Copies | Copy Report

    Number of Copies
      Indicates the number of copies represented on the holdings record.

      Serials - If the Libraries has multiple copies of an entire run, or has copies of a specific volume(s), code as "002" (for multiple copies)

      Monographs - If the holdings reflect 2 or more copies, code as applicable.

    Copy Report

      Separate = holdings record reflects only 1 copy

      Composite = holdings reflect 2 or more copies
