At Northwestern University (using the NOTIS system), we record the holdings in a MARC holdings record, which is linked to the bib record and displays in the OPAC. We currently use (or at least attempt to use; it's trickier than we expected...) the ANSI Z39.44 standard for this information. >2. If using the bib., do you use the 300 field, the 362 field, or >both? Please give an example. The only field in the bib record that is used to give any details about local holdings is field 590, for local notes; this gives information specific to our holdings (e.g., library has reprint copy of some vols., library does not subscribe to the supplements, etc.) Fields 300 and 362 pertain to the publication itself, not to the library's holdings. When a publication ceases, we do "close out" the 300 and 362, if the information is available, whether or not we hold the volumes; we follow AACR2 in recording this information. >3. If you've bound your volumes other than one physical volume per >discrete volume, do you note it? How? Another example would be >great. We create an individual item record for each physical piece; the listing of item records in our system is our record of binding practices. For our standard of giving information in item records, we sort of borrow freely from the ANSI holdings standard. For example, here is the last screen of our listing of item records for NEWSWEEK: LTNU DONE AAK0575 NOTIS ITEM SUMMARY LU00 NU SERL LC 35009615 //r43 ISSN 0028-9604 S/STAT c FREQ w S/T p CFR 52/2/4 Newsweek. v. 1- Feb. 17, 1933- -- Washington <etc.> Newsweek, Inc., etc. =>001 STATUS: 2D LOCN: MAIN periodicals room COPY: CALL: |b L051;N558 |v v.

C 0064 v.126:no.19-v.127:no.1 (1995:Nov.-1996:Jan.1) Here, we can see that we usually bind approximately nine issues together. Kevin M.

Actually, AACR2 doesn't address holdings recording at all. That is what the holdings format is for. In our library, we prefer positive holdings, so we would record incomplete runs as follows: 866(1) 40#80#av.1-5,6,8-20 or, if many holdings are missing or the display is too complicated: 866(1) 40#80#a.v1-98#zLibrary lacks v.2,18,35,37,41,50 Since the 866 field is not an inventory but rather a record of holdings, we do not record how the pieces are bound. The only exception we would make is if we bound cumulative indexes with a certain volume or an individual vol. was bound with a different title (not including title changes if the call number doesn't change). I hope this helps you. If you need more details, please feel free to ask me. We are automated in our own local system for serials checkin and will be bringing up our new serials system, Horizon from Ameritech, in the spring of 1996.
