Boone" <c-boon@umn.edu> Subject: Re: Working with LDRs, Some Resources Using separate Local Data Records (different SCHDS, but a common, composite SIHD) is, indeed, an accepted method of dealing with union list holdings for microformat materials. The following description is taken from the website of NELINET, the OCLC regional support provider in New England. See "LDRS for titles in non-print and multiple formats" at: http://www.nelinet.net/res/ul/neulguid.htm#formats: Option 2: Multiple LDRs on the Print Record In this option, the print record is used for all manifestations of the same title. A separate LDR is created for each format of a title held by an institution. All the LDRs linked to the print record share a common SIHD field. The designators =87g, =87e, =87f, =87n, =87v, =87y in the SCHD field= describe the=20 holdings of the specific format. The physical form designator on the LDR is coded appropriately. If the library has print holdings of the title, the designators =87g, =87e,=87f,=87v, =87y in the SIHD field describe the print holdings. If the library does not have print holdings for the title, the designators =87g, =87e, =87f are coded 0, and =87v and =87y are not present in the SIHD field. Non-print and electronic holdings are set off in square brackets in =87n of the SIHD field and include codes for enumeration, chronology, completeness, acquisition status, and retention. When multiple holdings are reported, begin with a composite holdings statement, indicating the full range of the non-print holdings (all formats) in =87n of the SIHD followed by separate summary statements for each format. See the sample LDRs. If a summary holding statement for electronic holdings cannot be provided, include the general availability statement. Include special conditions or restrictions on access to the online holdings. See the Suggested Notes. See the Union List Reference Card for LDR designators and their appropriate codes. * * * * Also, the topic is discussed in Section K, "Microforms", Chapter 7 of the OCLC UNION LIST USER GUIDE (http://www.oclc.org/oclc/man/4141ulug/index.htm) Cecelia Boone, Asst. to the Dir. for MULS & Communication MINITEX Library Information Network c-boon@umn.edu 612-624-6353, 800-462-5348 .
