POLICY:
Includes general adult fiction and fantasy fiction works by a single author, collections of stories by a
single author, and collections of stories by multiple authors.
For titles with the subject heading of Fantasy fiction:
Example: J.R.R. Tolkien’s Hobbit series. Consider works which contain any of the following:
alternative worlds; magic; other societies. Consider series and other titles by the same author and their
classifications when considering classification of a title. If an author who writes straight fantasy has been
catalogued in the Science Fiction collection in the past, that author will stay in Science fiction.
Books with accompanying materials.
If a book comes with CD, DVD, diskette, or other accompanying materials, determine if the material is
integral to the story in the book and if the book and accompanying material can be successfully circulated.
Discard material if it is only advertising or publisher’s catalog. If all accompanying materials are
discarded, remove all notes and physical description referring to the accompanying materials.
Example: 500 Book with CD. [Delete if items are not kept]
If materials are kept, also list in Circ note of item record:
1 BOOK, 1 CD
Past Policy: Includes general adult fiction works by a single author, and collections of stories by a single
author. Collections of stories by different authors were in Story Collection. Story Collection is an
obsolete collection.
Classic works should be placed in their respective genres appropriately.
Whenever a question should arise regarding placement of a certain title, consult the Collection

020 ISBN
Subfield a: Verify that the ISBN in the record matches the publisher and format. If the ISBN does
not match the ISBN on the on order record, verify which ISBN is correct for the title in
hand. Leave only the correct ISBN in record.
Subfield c: Add the correct price, when available.
If the price on the paper work is for a volume set, you need to determine the price for each volume. To
find the price for each volume, take the set price and divide this amount by the number of volumes in the
set. This will give you the price for each volume. This amount is entered on price subfield in the item
record when the volumes are inventoried.
Adding ISBN numbers for paperbacks to a bibliographic record
Add the ISBN for the paperback copy when linking them to the same record as the hardback copy. Put
(pbk.) after the ISBN number, and include the price in the subfield “c”.
Paperbacks may be added to a record for the hardback, when the title, subtitle/other title information,
statement of responsibility, copyright date, edition and illustrator match exactly the title information as it
appears on the bibliographic record.
Remove any ISBN which is not on current copy in hand, since this may retrieve a different title and
generate duplicate reports.

CUTTERING POLICIES
It is not common for Fiction titles, but if a series is written by more than one author, check if a series
double cutter exists in the catalog for that series title. Alert cataloger if multiple authors write for a
particular series and no double cutter exists.
The author cutter is determined from the 1XX field of author main entry or the 245 field of title main
entry with exceptions for individual biographies and some series.
For fiction (all genres), the author cutter is limited to the first 8 characters of the author’s surname and
first name taken from the authorized form in the 100 field. Do not include middle initials (unless initials
are the only form of a given name in the authority record) or dates of the author. Do not leave spaces
between the initials.
The first name or initial(s) are on the line after the surname on the spine label.
If the material is title entry, limit the cutter to the first 8 characters of the first non-article word of the title.
Use upper and lower case letters appropriately.
Consult label formats when editing the 092 field.
Abbreviations

Names with spaces between letters
If the last name contains a space between letters, leave in if the total number of characters does not exceed

Titled Persons (dagger “c”)
For persons with titles in the subfield “c” of the 600 field, use up to 8 characters of the first word of the
title in the subfield c.
Dates
Add month of inventory and the date for all circulating titles that are copyrighted during the current year.
Use the copyright date of the English translation for foreign titles. Do not add dates to titles in the public
domain, known to have been published/copyrighted at an earlier date in the same edition by various
publishers, or display earlier copyrights in the same edition in publication information.
When copyright dates appear for the following year, use month of inventory and current year until Dec.
31 of current year. For example: A book is published September 2010 and received for cataloging in
September 2010, but copyrighted 2011. The 092 fields and spine label will use 09/2010.
Annual serial publications generally use date of volume without month for spine date.
Example: Best American short stories
FICTION Best 2006
Volume Numbering
For circulating and non circulating materials, this is generally only used on the spine labels when present
on the material and the decision is made to use the volume numbering for shelving purposes. Some
examples include encyclopedia sets or graphic novels that have the same title, are not part of a series,
have the same author, and have a volume number.

100 field and make 7XX added entries for any additional authors. If another author continues a series,
character, story line etc. begun by the deceased author, use the new author in the 100 field, if identified as
the actual writer of the book. If the deceased author is noted on the book, make a 7XX added entry in the
record.

Delete the following: Works, Selection, Prose or other generic titles.
245 Title
The title, subtitle, other title information and statement of responsibility must match exactly the title
information as it appears on the title page or equivalent substitute.
The exception is when a series title or other head of title information is in the
245 field, subfield “a”. In this instance only the unique title is kept in the 245 subfield “a”. The
series/head of title information is moved to the 246 field and combined with the unique title.
When the series title or other head of title information is present there must also be a 490 field. You may
have more than one series entry per title. It is possible that not all series will have authority records.

Title Page:
A star shines over
Mt. Morris Park
Henry Roth
In the above example there is not mention of the series on the title page. However on the cover the series
is “Mercy of a rude stream”. In this case you add a 246 with the series title and a 490 series entry to the
bibliographic record (include the volume number if available).
Example: 245 12 A star shines over Mt. Morris Park‡h[#1]

“h” subfield in the 245 field
If the material has a series volume number, add a subfield “h” with the number in brackets. It is inserted
after the “a” subfield, and before the punctuation preceding the “b” or “c” subfields. When an “h”
subfield is necessary, it follows the “n” and “p” subfields. These subfields also precede the “b” and “c”
subfields.
Example: 245 12 A light in the window ‡h[#2] / ‡c Jan Karon.

800 1 Karon, Jan, ǂd 1937- ǂt Mitford years ; ‡v[02].
“n” subfield in the 245 field
The “n” subfield generally occurs in 245 field when the “a” subfield of the 245 is not unique and
the only difference is numbering which does not signify a part.
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “n” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.
Since the numbering is in the “n” subfield, it is unnecessary to enter the numbering in the h
subfield.
For searching and formatting for the hit list, the contents of the “n” subfield should be
standardized for the titles within a run. The volume number in the subfield “n” is included in the
call number in the 092 field and is formatted according to the instructions in the Volume field
guidelines.
Example
245 10 Id _entity. ‡nVol. 1 ‡h[graphic]
245 10 Id_entity. ‡nVol. 2 ‡h[graphic]
245 10 Id_entity. ‡nVol. 3 ‡h[graphic]
“p” subfield in the 245 field
One configuration is an ‘a’ subfield with a non-unique title and a unique subtitle in a p subfield
in the OCLC record. Graphic novel series and television series are some of the materials that
may have this configuration of title.
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “p” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.
Use the unique title of book in hand in title field for the 245 title for JCL catalog.
On title page: Reborn! 15 Blood of the Vongola II

If any varying titles appear on the item, use a 246 and the appropriate indicators. Do not add varying
titles that repeat the exact wording of the 245 and additional material after it.
If title in 245 fields includes an ampersand, add a 246 with ampersand replaced with the word “and” and
vice versa.
Use 246, indicators 30, if the title contains a portion of the title in the 245.
Use 246, indicators 3 blank, if it represents a previous title.
All foreign titles should be in the 246 field with indicators 31.
Foreign titles with initial articles are repeated in 246 fields with and without the initial article.
Delete all other subfields and ending punctuation.

Edition statements must match exactly the information appearing on the item, except that abbreviations as
prescribed in AACR2 Rev. may be used. If more than one edition statement appears in the book, list one
in the 250 field, and the others in separate note fields indicating source of information.
JCL prefers the edition statement appearing in the following hierarchy:
1. Title page
2. Title page verso
3. First page of cover (front cover) **
4. Elsewhere on cover **
5. Preface/Introduction **
6. Jacket **

Verify place of publication, publisher and dates against information for the item in hand.
For works with multiple dates: Generally ignore printing dates, when publication dates and
copyright dates are available. For any situations not covered by this list, review AACR2, Rev.
1.4F.
If a publication date is on the title page and it matches the copyright date on the verso, use the
publication date. Example — ǂc 2007.
If a date is with the edition statement, and it matches the copyright date on the verso, use this
date. Example — ǂc 2007.
If a publication date is available and it differs from the copyright date, use both dates. Example -
-ǂc 2007, c2005.
ADAPTED – Use the adaptation date. Text has been changed.
EDITED – Check with a cataloger on this one. Most likely you will use the most recent
copyright date. However, this depends on how much the material was changed from the original
edition.
NEW FOREWORD – If a book contains a new foreword that has been copyrighted, and that
copyright date is different than the copyright date of the book, use the date that the foreword was
copyrighted as the publication date and keep the original copyright date on the record. Example:
2007, c1939.
PUBLISHING DATE AND COPYRIGHT DATE – If a book has a publishing date and a
copyright date, the publishing date comes first, and the copyright date second. Ignore printing
dates. Example: 2000, c1999.
RENEWED – If the copyright date has been renewed, use the original copyright date.
REPRINTS – If the fixed field has an “r: (reprint) in the Date tp subfield, the dates subfield must
contain 2 dates. The 260 field has just one date, the most current date, generally the publication
date of the work in hand.
RESTORED – Use the original copyright date, not the restored date.
REVISED – If the copyright date is revised then, use the revised copyright date.
TRANSLATION – Use the translation copyright date.
TWO COPYRIGHT DATES SEPARATED BY A COMMA – If two copyright dates separated
by a comma; use the second date, if the material is non-fiction. If the book is fiction, then
determine if the material has been changed. If there are changes, then use the second date.

300 Description
Pagination, including preliminary paging and illustration statements and size (cm.) must agree exactly
with the book in hand.
4XX/8XX Series
Verify if the series authority record for a series title exists in the catalog. If there is an authority record in
Sirsi, the 490 field should be a transcription of the series as displayed on the book. Edit or add the 8XX
field to match the authorized heading. If there is one series title that covers all publishers and formats, use
that series heading in all existing records. If there are multiple series authority records for different
formats or different publishers use the specific series for the matching format or publisher when available.
Volume Numbers – “v” subfield
Add numbering of volume, if available in subfield “v” to 490 and 8XX fields.
Example: 490 1 The Californians ; ‡v bk. 4
800 1 Wick, Lori. ‡t Californians ; ‡v bk. 4.
If there is no series authority record available in Sirsi or OCLC, add a 490 field, first indicator 0, second
indicator blank, subfield “a” SERIES to bibliographic record. Series with no authority record will remain
in the bibliographic record as a 490 with first indicator 0. Once an authorized series authority record is
entered, the 490 0 SERIES will be deleted and series notes will be edited to match the form in the
authority record.
Example: 490 0 SERIES
Place all titles in a fiction series in the same genre (e.g. Fiction, Mystery, Science fiction, Western).
Leave all series notes in a record. However, if an authority record instructs “use as quoted note” for a
phrase coded as a series, edit the contents of the 4XX/8XX fields present in a record into a single 500 title
note field.
Example:
130: 0|aHamish Macbeth mystery
643: |aNew York :‡bMysterious Press
667: |aGive as a quoted note.
670: |aDeath of an addict, c1999: ‡b (A Hamish Macbeth mystery)
For JCL catalog, change any 490/8XX notes in OCLC record to:
500 “A Hamish Macbeth mystery.”
490 (Unverified series)
The 490 is a descriptive field and should match the wording available for the series statement.

The assignment of subject headings to individual works of fiction is intended to provide the average public library
user with an additional method of selecting recreational reading. Headings should be assigned only as they come readily to mind after a superficial review of the work being
cataloged.
Whenever possible, make the subject headings match between multiple records for the same title.
Use LCSH headings with second indicator of 0 for 600, 610, 630, 650, 651 fields
Delete all subject-heading fields with second indicators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8.
A minimum of one subject heading is required for all items. Two to four subject headings are preferred.
If record has only 2 subject headings, JCL prefers only one be a genre heading.
Form/genre headings indicate what the work is rather than what it is about. Select an appropriate genre heading or
headings, such as Love stories; Science fiction, Mystery fiction, War stories, etc. Generally assign no more than one
or two genre headings, expressing only the primary genre(s) of the work.
If genre headings match an LCSH heading of a 150 or 155, use that heading.

Topical Access -- Assign headings for specific topics that are the focal point of an individual literary work. Assign
headings only for topics that have been made explicit by the author or publisher, such as those topics that are
mentioned in the title, series, introductory matter, dust jacket or other prominent location. The purpose of the
topical heading is to provide access for those topics that distinguish the work from most other works. Do not assign
headings for vague and general topics, such as fate, evil, belief, psychology, interpersonal relations, emotions, social
customs or community life. Assign only the most specific heading that is appropriate. Normally no more than one
or two topical headings need to be assigned.
650 0 White, Blanche (Fictitious character) ‡v Fiction.
650 0 African American women ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Women detectives ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Caterers and catering ‡v Fiction.
651 0 North Carolina ‡v Fiction.
655 0 Detective and mystery stories.
Individual Characters -- If the work prominently features a real person, a legendary character, other major character
not created by the author of the work assign a subject heading for the name of the character with appropriate
subdivision such as – Fiction.
If the primary character is a fictitious character created by the author, assign a subject heading only if the
character appears in three or more wore works. Consider the character to appear prominently if it is
integral to the story line, if the name is included either in the title or a series-like statement, or if there is a
possibility that patrons may seek the work based on the character.
Classes of persons -- A heading may also be assigned for the class of persons to which the primary character
belongs, if that class of persons is established and is likely to be sought by the typical public library user., for
example, women detectives, College teachers, Private investigators. , Domestics, etc.
Setting -- Assign a subject heading for a place, event, or time period that is featured prominently in an individual
work., or when it is judged to be important for retrieval. Assign these headings only if the place or time is
significant. Generally do not assign headings for a time period that is contemporaneous to the period in which the
work was written, for example, do not express the 19th
century setting of a work that was written in the 19th
century.
Generally do not assign a heading for the country in which the work is set, when that country corresponds to the
country in which the author lives. Assign a subject for an imaginary place or organization only if the place appears
in three or more works. Fictitious places generally use the parenthetical qualifier (Imaginary place).
If other editions of a title exist in the database, copy those headings to the bibliographic record. Another
source of possible subject headings is bibliographic records for sound recordings of the title in hand,
either on SIRSI or OCLC if they are not readily available on the print record.
Guidelines for deleting the United States subdivision
Instances where you leave in the subdivision in all formats and levels:
A complete subdivision phrase: ‡z United States ‡x States
Biographical subject headings: 650 0 Artists ‡z France ‡x Biography.
When the biography is about a person who lives in the United States, you may delete the United States from the
650 field.
History subject headings: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡x History.

Foreign relation documents such as treaties or other documents that display reciprocal agreements between the
United States and another country.
Travel: Example: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡v Guidebooks.
If a topic heading with a sub-field ‡z United States is a cross-reference to one or more headings in our local system,
keep the subdivision in the heading.
Otherwise the subdivision ‡z United States can be deleted from all other topical headings (650 indicators blank 0).
If possible, avoid using ‡z United States for fiction headings. You should instead use the state or the city/state
geographical sub-division. State or the city/state geographical field is 651, indicators blank 0. If in doubt, please
consult a cataloger.

entry with exceptions for individual biographies and some series.
For fiction (all genres), the author cutter is limited to the first 8 characters of the author’s surname and
first name taken from the authorized form in the 100 field. Do not include middle initials (unless initials
are the only form of a given name in the authority record) or dates of the author. Do not leave spaces
between the initials.
The first name or initial(s) are on the line after the surname on the spine label.

Dates
Add month of inventory and the date for all circulating titles that are copyrighted during the current year.
Use the copyright date of the English translation for foreign titles. Do not add dates to titles in the public
domain, known to have been published/copyrighted at an earlier date in the same edition by various
publishers, or display earlier copyrights in the same edition in publication information.
When copyright dates appear for the following year, use month of inventory and current year until Dec.
31 of current year. For example: A book is published September 2010 and received for cataloging in
September 2010, but copyrighted 2011. The 092 fields and spine label will use 09/2010.
Annual serial publications generally use date of volume without month for spine date.

Volume Numbering
For circulating and non circulating materials, this is generally only used on the spine labels when present
on the material and the decision is made to use the volume numbering for shelving purposes. Some
examples include encyclopedia sets or graphic novels that have the same title, are not part of a series,
have the same author, and have a volume number.

“n” subfield in the 245 field
The “n” subfield generally occurs in 245 field when the “a” subfield of the 245 is not unique and
the only difference is numbering which does not signify a part.
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “n” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.
Since the numbering is in the “n” subfield, it is unnecessary to enter the numbering in the h
subfield.
For searching and formatting for the hit list, the contents of the “n” subfield should be
standardized for the titles within a run. The volume number in the subfield “n” is included in the
call number in the 092 field and is formatted according to the instructions in the Volume field
guidelines.
Example
245 10 Id _entity. ‡nVol. 1 ‡h[graphic]
245 10 Id_entity. ‡nVol. 2 ‡h[graphic]
245 10 Id_entity. ‡nVol. 3 ‡h[graphic]
“p” subfield in the 245 field
One configuration is an ‘a’ subfield with a non-unique title and a unique subtitle in a p subfield
in the OCLC record. Graphic novel series and television series are some of the materials that
may have this configuration of title.
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “p” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.

copyright date. However, this depends on how much the material was changed from the original
edition.
NEW FOREWORD – If a book contains a new foreword that has been copyrighted, and that
copyright date is different than the copyright date of the book, use the date that the foreword was
copyrighted as the publication date and keep the original copyright date on the record. Example:
2007, c1939.
PUBLISHING DATE AND COPYRIGHT DATE – If a book has a publishing date and a
copyright date, the publishing date comes first, and the copyright date second. Ignore printing
dates. Example: 2000, c1999.
RENEWED – If the copyright date has been renewed, use the original copyright date.
REPRINTS – If the fixed field has an “r: (reprint) in the Date tp subfield, the dates subfield must
contain 2 dates. The 260 field has just one date, the most current date, generally the publication
date of the work in hand.
RESTORED – Use the original copyright date, not the restored date.
REVISED – If the copyright date is revised then, use the revised copyright date.
TRANSLATION – Use the translation copyright date.
TWO COPYRIGHT DATES SEPARATED BY A COMMA – If two copyright dates separated
by a comma; use the second date, if the material is non-fiction. If the book is fiction, then
determine if the material has been changed. If there are changes, then use the second date.

Pagination, including preliminary paging and illustration statements and size (cm.) must agree exactly
with the book in hand.
4XX/8XX Series
Verify if the series authority record for a series title exists in the catalog. If there is an authority record in
Sirsi, the 490 field should be a transcription of the series as displayed on the book. Edit or add the 8XX
field to match the authorized heading. If there is one series title that covers all publishers and formats, use
that series heading in all existing records. If there are multiple series authority records for different
formats or different publishers use the specific series for the matching format or publisher when available.
Volume Numbers – “v” subfield
Add numbering of volume, if available in subfield “v” to 490 and 8XX fields.
Example: 490 1 The Californians ; ‡v bk. 4

If there is no series authority record available in Sirsi or OCLC, add a 490 field, first indicator 0, second
indicator blank, subfield “a” SERIES to bibliographic record. Series with no authority record will remain
in the bibliographic record as a 490 with first indicator 0. Once an authorized series authority record is
entered, the 490 0 SERIES will be deleted and series notes will be edited to match the form in the
authority record.
Example: 490 0 SERIES
Place all titles in a fiction series in the same genre (e.g. Fiction, Mystery, Science fiction, Western).
Leave all series notes in a record. However, if an authority record instructs “use as quoted note” for a
phrase coded as a series, edit the contents of the 4XX/8XX fields present in a record into a single 500 title
note field.
Example:

6XX SUBJECT ACCESS
General Principles
The assignment of subject headings to individual works of fiction is intended to provide the average public library
user with an additional method of selecting recreational reading. Headings should be assigned only as they come readily to mind after a superficial review of the work being
cataloged.
Whenever possible, make the subject headings match between multiple records for the same title.
Use LCSH headings with second indicator of 0 for 600, 610, 630, 650, 651 fields
Delete all subject-heading fields with second indicators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
A minimum of one subject heading is required for all items. Two to four subject headings are preferred.
If record has only 2 subject headings, JCL prefers only one be a genre heading.
Form/genre headings indicate what the work is rather than what it is about. Select an appropriate genre heading or
headings, such as Love stories; Science fiction, Mystery fiction, War stories, etc. Generally assign no more than one
or two genre headings, expressing only the primary genre(s) of the work.
CATALOGING MANUAL Adult Mystery
Revised: August 14, 2014
35
Topical Access -- Assign headings for specific topics that are the focal point of an individual literary work. Assign
headings only for topics that have been made explicit by the author or publisher, such as those topics that are
mentioned in the title, series, introductory matter, dust jacket or other prominent location. The purpose of the
topical heading is to provide access for those topics that distinguish the work from most other works. Do not assign
headings for vague and general topics, such as fate, evil, belief, psychology, interpersonal relations, emotions, social
customs or community life. Assign only the most specific heading that is appropriate. Normally no more than one
or two topical headings need to be assigned.
650 0 White, Blanche (Fictitious character) ‡v Fiction.
650 0 African American women ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Women detectives ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Caterers and catering ‡v Fiction.
651 0 North Carolina ‡v Fiction.
655 0 Detective and mystery stories.
Individual Characters -- If the work prominently features a real person, a legendary character, other major character
not created by the author of the work assign a subject heading for the name of the character with appropriate
subdivision such as – Fiction.
If the primary character is a fictitious character created by the author, assign a subject heading only if the
character appears in three or more wore works. Consider the character to appear prominently if it is
integral to the story line, if the name is included either in the title or a series-like statement, or if there is a
possibility that patrons may seek the work based on the character.
Classes of persons -- A heading may also be assigned for the class of persons to which the primary character
belongs, if that class of persons is established and is likely to be sought by the typical public library user., for
example, women detectives, College teachers, Private investigators. , Domestics, etc.
Setting -- Assign a subject heading for a place, event, or time period that is featured prominently in an individual
work., or when it is judged to be important for retrieval. Assign these headings only if the place or time is
significant. Generally do not assign headings for a time period that is contemporaneous to the period in which the
work was written, for example, do not express the 19th
century setting of a work that was written in the 19th
century.
Generally do not assign a heading for the country in which the work is set, when that country corresponds to the
country in which the author lives. Assign a subject for an imaginary place or organization only if the place appears
in three or more works. Fictitious places generally use the parenthetical qualifier (Imaginary place).
If other editions of a title exist in the database, copy those headings to the bibliographic record. Another
source of possible subject headings is bibliographic records for sound recordings of the title in hand,
either on SIRSI or OCLC if they are not readily available on the print record.
Guidelines for deleting the United States subdivision
Instances where you leave in the subdivision in all formats and levels:
A complete subdivision phrase: ‡z United States ‡x States
History subject headings: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡x History.
Foreign relation documents such as treaties or other documents that display reciprocal agreements between the
United States and another country.
CATALOGING MANUAL Adult Mystery
Revised: August 14, 2014

Travel: Example: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡v Guidebooks.
If a topic heading with a sub-field ‡z United States is a cross-reference to one or more headings in our local system,
keep the subdivision in the heading.
Otherwise the subdivision ‡z United States can be deleted from all other topical headings (650 indicators blank 0).
If possible, avoid using ‡z United States for fiction headings. You should instead use the state or the city/state
geographical sub-division. State or the city/state geographical field is 651, indicators blank 0. If in doubt, please
consult a cataloger.
NOTICE THIS ONLY PERTAINS TO UNITED STATES AS A SUB-DIVISION IN A 650 FIELD. DO NOT
DELETE UNITED STATES WHEN IT APPEARS AS A 651 ‡a.

information as it appears on the title page or equivalent substitute.
The exception is when a series title or other head of title information is in the
245 field, subfield “a”. In this instance only the unique title is kept in the 245 subfield “a”. The
series/head of title information is moved to the 246 field and combined with the unique title.
When the series title or other head of title information is present there must also be a 490 field. You may
have more than one series entry per title. It is possible that not all series will have authority records.

Title Page:
A star shines over
Mt. Morris Park
Henry Roth
In the above example there is not mention of the series on the title page. However on the cover the series
is “Mercy of a rude stream”. In this case you add a 246 with the series title and a 490 series entry to the
bibliographic record (include the volume number if available).
Example: 245 12 A star shines over Mt. Morris Park‡h[#1]
246 3 Mercy of a rude stream.‡nv.1, ‡pA star shines over Mt. Morris Park
490 1 Mercy of a rude stream ; ‡v v.1
800 1 Roth, Henry. ǂt Mercy of a rude stream ; ‡v v.1
“h” subfield in the 245 field
If the material has a series volume number, add a subfield “h” with the number in brackets. It is inserted
after the “a” subfield, and before the punctuation preceding the “b” or “c” subfields. When an “h”
subfield is necessary, it follows the “n” and “p” subfields. These subfields also precede the “b” and “c”
subfields.
Example: 245 12 A light in the window ‡h[#2] / ‡c Jan Karon.
490 1 Mitford years ; ‡v[02]
800 1 Karon, Jan, ǂd 1937- ǂt Mitford years ; ‡v[02].
“n” subfield in the 245 field
The “n” subfield generally occurs in 245 field when the “a” subfield of the 245 is not unique and
the only difference is numbering which does not signify a part.
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “n” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.
Since the numbering is in the “n” subfield, it is unnecessary to enter the numbering in the h
subfield.
For searching and formatting for the hit list, the contents of the “n” subfield should be
standardized for the titles within a run. The volume number in the subfield “n” is included in the
call number in the 092 field and is formatted according to the instructions in the Volume field
guidelines.

One configuration is an ‘a’ subfield with a non-unique title and a unique subtitle in a p subfield
in the OCLC record. Graphic novel series and television series are some of the materials that
may have this configuration of title.
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “p” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.
Use the unique title of book in hand in title field for the 245 title for JCL catalog.

246 Varying form of title
If any varying titles appear on the item, use a 246 and the appropriate indicators. Do not add varying
titles that repeat the exact wording of the 245 and additional material after it.
If title in 245 fields includes an ampersand, add a 246 with ampersand replaced with the word “and” and
vice versa.
Use 246, indicators 30, if the title contains a portion of the title in the 245.
Use 246, indicators 3 blank, if it represents a previous title.
All foreign titles should be in the 246 field with indicators 31.
Foreign titles with initial articles are repeated in 246 fields with and without the initial article.
Delete all other subfields and ending punctuation.

250 Edition
Edition statements must match exactly the information appearing on the item, except that abbreviations as
prescribed in AACR2 Rev. may be used. If more than one edition statement appears in the book, list one
in the 250 field, and the others in separate note fields indicating source of information.
JCL prefers the edition statement appearing in the following hierarchy:
1. Title page
2. Title page verso
3. First page of cover (front cover) **
4. Elsewhere on cover **
5. Preface/Introduction **
6. Jacket **
** Edition information found on these sources must appear in brackets.
Retain but do not add first edition statements:
Examples: 1st ed., 1
st U.S. ed., 1
st Harter ed.
260 Publication
Verify place of publication, publisher and dates against information for the item in hand.
For works with multiple dates: Generally ignore printing dates, when publication dates and
copyright dates are available. For any situations not covered by this list, review AACR2, Rev.
1.4F.
If a publication date is on the title page and it matches the copyright date on the verso, use the
publication date. Example — ǂc 2007.
If a date is with the edition statement, and it matches the copyright date on the verso, use this
date. Example — ǂc 2007.
If a publication date is available and it differs from the copyright date, use both dates. Example -
-ǂc 2007, c2005.
ADAPTED – Use the adaptation date. Text has been changed.
EDITED – Check with a cataloger on this one. Most likely you will use the most recent
copyright date. However, this depends on how much the material was changed from the original
edition.
CATALOGING MANUAL Adult Mystery Adult Science Fiction

NEW FOREWORD – If a book contains a new foreword that has been copyrighted, and that
copyright date is different than the copyright date of the book, use the date that the foreword was
copyrighted as the publication date and keep the original copyright date on the record. Example:
2007, c1939.
PUBLISHING DATE AND COPYRIGHT DATE – If a book has a publishing date and a
copyright date, the publishing date comes first, and the copyright date second. Ignore printing
dates. Example: 2000, c1999.
RENEWED – If the copyright date has been renewed, use the original copyright date.
REPRINTS – If the fixed field has an “r: (reprint) in the Date tp subfield, the dates subfield must
contain 2 dates. The 260 field has just one date, the most current date, generally the publication
date of the work in hand.
RESTORED – Use the original copyright date, not the restored date.
REVISED – If the copyright date is revised then, use the revised copyright date.
TRANSLATION – Use the translation copyright date.
TWO COPYRIGHT DATES SEPARATED BY A COMMA – If two copyright dates separated
by a comma; use the second date, if the material is non-fiction. If the book is fiction, then
determine if the material has been changed. If there are changes, then use the second date.
300 Description
Pagination, including preliminary paging and illustration statements and size (cm.) must agree exactly
with the book in hand.
4XX/8XX Series
Verify if the series authority record for a series title exists in the catalog. If there is an authority record in
Sirsi, the 490 field should be a transcription of the series as displayed on the book. Edit or add the 8XX
field to match the authorized heading. If there is one series title that covers all publishers and formats, use
that series heading in all existing records. If there are multiple series authority records for different
formats or different publishers use the specific series for the matching format or publisher when available.
Volume Numbers – “v” subfield
Add numbering of volume, if available in subfield “v” to 490 and 8XX fields.
Example: 490 1 The Californians ; ‡v bk. 4
800 1 Wick, Lori. ‡t Californians ; ‡v bk. 4.
If there is no series authority record available in Sirsi or OCLC, add a 490 field, first indicator 0, second
indicator blank, subfield “a” SERIES to bibliographic record. Series with no authority record will remain
in the bibliographic record as a 490 with first indicator 0. Once an authorized series authority record is
CATALOGING MANUAL Adult Mystery Adult Science Fiction
Revised: August 14, 2014

entered, the 490 0 SERIES will be deleted and series notes will be edited to match the form in the
authority record.
Example: 490 0 SERIES
Place all titles in a fiction series in the same genre (e.g. Fiction, Mystery, Science fiction).
Leave all series notes in a record. However, if an authority record instructs “use as quoted note” for a
phrase coded as a series, edit the contents of the 4XX/8XX fields present in a record into a single 500 title
note field.
Example:

490 (Unverified series)
The 490 is a descriptive field and should match the wording available for the series statement.
First indicator is 0, second indicator blank
Example: 490 0 Heiress in London ;|v02
490/800 fields
In 490 field, the first indicator is 1; second indicator blank.
In the 800 field, the first indicator is usually 1, second indicator is blank. Example: 490 1 The Californians ; ‡v bk. 4

6XX SUBJECT ACCESS
General Principles
The assignment of subject headings to individual works of fiction is intended to provide the average public library
user with an additional method of selecting recreational reading. Headings should be assigned only as they come readily to mind after a superficial review of the work being
cataloged.
Whenever possible, make the subject headings match between multiple records for the same title.
Use LCSH headings with second indicator of 0 for 600, 610, 630, 650, 651 fields
Delete all subject-heading fields with second indicators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
A minimum of one subject heading is required for all items. Two to four subject headings are preferred.
If record has only 2 subject headings, JCL prefers only one be a genre heading.
Form/genre headings indicate what the work is rather than what it is about. Select an appropriate genre heading or
headings, such as Love stories; Science fiction, Mystery fiction, War stories, etc. Generally assign no more than one
or two genre headings, expressing only the primary genre(s) of the work.
If genre headings match an LCSH heading of a 150 or 155, use that heading.
Topical Access -- Assign headings for specific topics that are the focal point of an individual literary work. Assign
headings only for topics that have been made explicit by the author or publisher, such as those topics that are
mentioned in the title, series, introductory matter, dust jacket or other prominent location. The purpose of the
topical heading is to provide access for those topics that distinguish the work from most other works. Do not assign
headings for vague and general topics, such as fate, evil, belief, psychology, interpersonal relations, emotions, social
customs or community life. Assign only the most specific heading that is appropriate. Normally no more than one
or two topical headings need to be assigned.
650 0 White, Blanche (Fictitious character) ‡v Fiction.
650 0 African American women ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Women detectives ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Caterers and catering ‡v Fiction.
651 0 North Carolina ‡v Fiction.
655 0 Science fiction.
Individual Characters -- If the work prominently features a real person, a legendary character, other major character
not created by the author of the work assign a subject heading for the name of the character with appropriate
subdivision such as – Fiction.
If the primary character is a fictitious character created by the author, assign a subject heading only if the
character appears in three or more wore works. Consider the character to appear prominently if it is
integral to the story line, if the name is included either in the title or a series-like statement, or if there is a
possibility that patrons may seek the work based on the character.
CATALOGING MANUAL Adult Mystery Adult Science Fiction
Revised: August 14, 2014
55
Classes of persons -- A heading may also be assigned for the class of persons to which the primary character
belongs, if that class of persons is established and is likely to be sought by the typical public library user., for
example, women detectives, College teachers, Private investigators. , Domestics, etc.
Setting -- Assign a subject heading for a place, event, or time period that is featured prominently in an individual
work., or when it is judged to be important for retrieval. Assign these headings only if the place or time is
significant. Generally do not assign headings for a time period that is contemporaneous to the period in which the
work was written, for example, do not express the 19th
century setting of a work that was written in the 19th
century.
Generally do not assign a heading for the country in which the work is set, when that country corresponds to the
country in which the author lives. Assign a subject for an imaginary place or organization only if the place appears
in three or more works. Fictitious places generally use the parenthetical qualifier (Imaginary place).
If other editions of a title exist in the database, copy those headings to the bibliographic record. Another
source of possible subject headings is bibliographic records for sound recordings of the title in hand,
either on SIRSI or OCLC if they are not readily available on the print record.
Guidelines for deleting the United States subdivision
Instances where you leave in the subdivision in all formats and levels:
A complete subdivision phrase: ‡z United States ‡x States
History subject headings: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡x History.
Foreign relation documents such as treaties or other documents that display reciprocal agreements between the
United States and another country.
Travel: Example: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡v Guidebooks.
If a topic heading with a sub-field ‡z United States is a cross-reference to one or more headings in our local system,
keep the subdivision in the heading.
Otherwise the subdivision ‡z United States can be deleted from all other topical headings (650 indicators blank 0).
If possible, avoid using ‡z United States for fiction headings. You should instead use the state or the city/state
geographical sub-division. State or the city/state geographical field is 651, indicators blank 0. If in doubt, please
consult a cataloger.
Biographical subject headings: 650 0 Artists ‡z France ‡x Biography.
When the biography is about a person who lives in the United States, you may delete the United States from the
650 field.
NOTICE THIS ONLY PERTAINS TO UNITED STATES AS A SUB-DIVISION IN A 650 FIELD. DO NOT
DELETE UNITED STATES WHEN IT APPEARS AS A 651 ‡a.

Subfield c: Add the correct price, when available.
If the price on the paper work is for a volume set, you need to determine the price for each volume. To
find the price for each volume, take the set price and divide this amount by the number of volumes in the

CUTTERING POLICIES
CATALOGING MANUAL Adult Western
Revised: August 14, 2014
60
It is not common for Western titles, but if a series is written by more than one author, check if a series
double cutter exists in the catalog for that series title. Alert cataloger if multiple authors write for a

The author cutter is determined from the 1XX field of author main entry or the 245 field of title main
entry with exceptions for individual biographies and some series.
For fiction (all genres), the author cutter is limited to the first 8 characters of the author’s surname and
first name taken from the authorized form in the 100 field. Do not include middle initials (unless initials
are the only form of a given name in the authority record) or dates of the author. Do not leave spaces

publishers, or display earlier copyrights in the same edition in publication information.
When copyright dates appear for the following year, use month of inventory and current year until Dec.
31 of current year. For example: A book is published September 2010 and received for cataloging in
September 2010, but copyrighted 2011. The 092 fields and spine label will use 09/2010.
Annual serial publications generally use date of volume without month for spine date.
Example: Best stories of the American West.
WESTERN Best 2006
Volume Numbering
For circulating and non circulating materials, this is generally only used on the spine labels when present
on the material and the decision is made to use the volume numbering for shelving purposes. Some
examples include encyclopedia sets or graphic novels that have the same title, are not part of a series,
have the same author, and have a volume number.
Double Cutters
If a series is written by more than one author, check if a series double cutter exists in the catalog for that
series title. Alert cataloger if multiple authors write for a particular series and no double cutter exists.
Known series to date include:
Series created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik, but continued by different authors
Tom Clancy’s Net Force
Tom Clancy’s Op-center
Tom Clancy’s Power plays
Tom Clancy’s Splinter cell

Author writing as
If a title page has the phrase Author writing as Author 2nd
name, use the first name for the 100 entry.
Example: Jayne Ann Krentz writing as Jayne Castle
Krentz is the name to use in the 100 field. Castle is entered as an added author in the 700 field.
Recall other copies of the title already in the catalog to change to current name on that title.
Novels where the author displayed on the cover is not the author
The examples are Net Force, Op-center, and Power Plays which are series that have Tom Clancy
prominently displayed on the cover, but the book is actually written by another author (not Tom Clancy).
Books in these types of series will be double cuttered by the series first and then by the author of that
particular title.
Each record will also have a 490 Series Note for the series on the bibliographic record.
Example: Net Force (Series), Op-center (Series), or Power plays (Series)
Posthumous publications of an author
If the deceased author is identified as the author of a work published posthumously, use the author in the
100 field and make 7XX added entries for any additional authors. If another author continues a series,
character, story line etc. begun by the deceased author, use the new author in the 100 field, if identified as
the actual writer of the book. If the deceased author is noted on the book, make a 7XX added entry in the
record.

Henry Roth
In the above example there is not mention of the series on the title page. However on the cover the series
is “Mercy of a rude stream”. In this case you add a 246 with the series title and a 490 series entry to the
bibliographic record (include the volume number if available).
Example: 245 12 A star shines over Mt. Morris Park‡h[#1]

“h” subfield in the 245 field
If the material has a series volume number, add a subfield “h” with the number in brackets. It is inserted
after the “a” subfield, and before the punctuation preceding the “b” or “c” subfields. When an “h”
subfield is necessary, it follows the “n” and “p” subfields. These subfields also precede the “b” and “c”
subfields.
Example: 245 12 A light in the window ‡h[#2] / ‡c Jan Karon.
490 1 Mitford years ; ‡v[02]
800 1 Karon, Jan, ǂd 1937- ǂt Mitford years ; ‡v[02].
“n” subfield in the 245 field
The “n” subfield generally occurs in 245 field when the “a” subfield of the 245 is not unique and
the only difference is numbering which does not signify a part.
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “n” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.
Since the numbering is in the “n” subfield, it is unnecessary to enter the numbering in the h
subfield.
For searching and formatting for the hit list, the contents of the “n” subfield should be
standardized for the titles within a run. The volume number in the subfield “n” is included in the
call number in the 092 field and is formatted according to the instructions in the Volume field
guidelines.

prescribed in AACR2 Rev. may be used. If more than one edition statement appears in the book, list one
in the 250 field, and the others in separate note fields indicating source of information.
JCL prefers the edition statement appearing in the following hierarchy:
1. Title page
2. Title page verso
3. First page of cover (front cover) **
4. Elsewhere on cover **
5. Preface/Introduction **
6. Jacket **
** Edition information found on these sources must appear in brackets.
Retain but do not add first edition statements:
Examples: 1st ed., 1

260 Publication
Verify place of publication, publisher and dates against information for the item in hand.
For works with multiple dates: Generally ignore printing dates, when publication dates and
copyright dates are available. For any situations not covered by this list, review AACR2, Rev.
1.4F.
If a publication date is on the title page and it matches the copyright date on the verso, use the
publication date. Example — ǂc 2007.
If a date is with the edition statement, and it matches the copyright date on the verso, use this
date. Example — ǂc 2007.
If a publication date is available and it differs from the copyright date, use both dates. Example -
-ǂc 2007, c2005.
ADAPTED – Use the adaptation date. Text has been changed.
CATALOGING MANUAL Adult Western

EDITED – Check with a cataloger on this one. Most likely you will use the most recent
copyright date. However, this depends on how much the material was changed from the original
edition.
NEW FOREWORD – If a book contains a new foreword that has been copyrighted, and that
copyright date is different than the copyright date of the book, use the date that the foreword was
copyrighted as the publication date and keep the original copyright date on the record. Example:
2007, c1939.
PUBLISHING DATE AND COPYRIGHT DATE – If a book has a publishing date and a
copyright date, the publishing date comes first, and the copyright date second. Ignore printing
dates. Example: 2000, c1999.
RENEWED – If the copyright date has been renewed, use the original copyright date.
REPRINTS – If the fixed field has an “r: (reprint) in the Date tp subfield, the dates subfield must
contain 2 dates. The 260 field has just one date, the most current date, generally the publication
date of the work in hand.
RESTORED – Use the original copyright date, not the restored date.
REVISED – If the copyright date is revised then, use the revised copyright date.
TRANSLATION – Use the translation copyright date.
TWO COPYRIGHT DATES SEPARATED BY A COMMA – If two copyright dates separated
by a comma; use the second date, if the material is non-fiction. If the book is fiction, then
determine if the material has been changed. If there are changes, then use the second date.
300 Description
Pagination, including preliminary paging and illustration statements and size (cm.) must agree exactly
with the book in hand.
4XX/8XX Series
Verify if the series authority record for a series title exists in the catalog. If there is an authority record in
Sirsi, the 490 field should be a transcription of the series as displayed on the book. Edit or add the 8XX
field to match the authorized heading. If there is one series title that covers all publishers and formats, use
that series heading in all existing records. If there are multiple series authority records for different
formats or different publishers use the specific series for the matching format or publisher when available.
Volume Numbers – “v” subfield
Add numbering of volume, if available in subfield “v” to 490 and 8XX fields.

If there is no series authority record available in Sirsi or OCLC, add a 490 field, first indicator 0, second
indicator blank, subfield “a” SERIES to bibliographic record. Series with no authority record will remain
in the bibliographic record as a 490 with first indicator 0. Once an authorized series authority record is
entered, the 490 0 SERIES will be deleted and series notes will be edited to match the form in the
authority record.
Example: 490 0 SERIES
Place all titles in a fiction series in the same genre (e.g. Fiction, Mystery, Science fiction, Western).
Leave all series notes in a record. However, if an authority record instructs “use as quoted note” for a
phrase coded as a series, edit the contents of the 4XX/8XX fields present in a record into a single 500 title
note field.

6XX SUBJECT ACCESS
General Principles
The assignment of subject headings to individual works of fiction is intended to provide the average public library
user with an additional method of selecting recreational reading. Headings should be assigned only as they come readily to mind after a superficial review of the work being
cataloged.
Whenever possible, make the subject headings match between multiple records for the same title.
Use LCSH headings with second indicator of 0 for 600, 610, 630, 650, 651 fields
Delete all subject-heading fields with second indicators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
A minimum of one subject heading is required for all items. Two to four subject headings are preferred.
If record has only 2 subject headings, JCL prefers only one be a genre heading.
Form/genre headings indicate what the work is rather than what it is about. Select an appropriate genre heading or
headings, such as Love stories; Science fiction, Mystery fiction, War stories, etc. Generally assign no more than one
or two genre headings, expressing only the primary genre(s) of the work.
If genre headings match an LCSH heading of a 150 or 155, use that heading.
Topical Access -- Assign headings for specific topics that are the focal point of an individual literary work. Assign
headings only for topics that have been made explicit by the author or publisher, such as those topics that are
mentioned in the title, series, introductory matter, dust jacket or other prominent location. The purpose of the
topical heading is to provide access for those topics that distinguish the work from most other works. Do not assign
headings for vague and general topics, such as fate, evil, belief, psychology, interpersonal relations, emotions, social
customs or community life. Assign only the most specific heading that is appropriate. Normally no more than one
or two topical headings need to be assigned.
650 0 White, Blanche (Fictitious character) ‡v Fiction.
650 0 African American women ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Women detectives ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Caterers and catering ‡v Fiction.
651 0 North Carolina ‡v Fiction.
655 0 Detective and mystery stories.
Individual Characters -- If the work prominently features a real person, a legendary character, other major character
not created by the author of the work assign a subject heading for the name of the character with appropriate
subdivision such as – Fiction.
CATALOGING MANUAL Adult Western
Revised: August 14, 2014
73
If the primary character is a fictitious character created by the author, assign a subject heading only if the
character appears in three or more wore works. Consider the character to appear prominently if it is
integral to the story line, if the name is included either in the title or a series-like statement, or if there is a
possibility that patrons may seek the work based on the character.
Classes of persons -- A heading may also be assigned for the class of persons to which the primary character
belongs, if that class of persons is established and is likely to be sought by the typical public library user., for
example, women detectives, College teachers, Private investigators. , Domestics, etc.
Setting -- Assign a subject heading for a place, event, or time period that is featured prominently in an individual
work., or when it is judged to be important for retrieval. Assign these headings only if the place or time is
significant. Generally do not assign headings for a time period that is contemporaneous to the period in which the
work was written, for example, do not express the 19th
century setting of a work that was written in the 19th
century.
Generally do not assign a heading for the country in which the work is set, when that country corresponds to the
country in which the author lives. Assign a subject for an imaginary place or organization only if the place appears
in three or more works. Fictitious places generally use the parenthetical qualifier (Imaginary place).
If other editions of a title exist in the database, copy those headings to the bibliographic record. Another
source of possible subject headings is bibliographic records for sound recordings of the title in hand,
either on SIRSI or OCLC if they are not readily available on the print record.
Guidelines for deleting the United States subdivision
Instances where you leave in the subdivision in all formats and levels:
A complete subdivision phrase: ‡z United States ‡x States
History subject headings: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡x History.
Foreign relation documents such as treaties or other documents that display reciprocal agreements between the
United States and another country.
Travel: Example: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡v Guidebooks.
If a topic heading with a sub-field ‡z United States is a cross-reference to one or more headings in our local system,
keep the subdivision in the heading.
Otherwise the subdivision ‡z United States can be deleted from all other topical headings (650 indicators blank 0).
If possible, avoid using ‡z United States for fiction headings. You should instead use the state or the city/state
geographical sub-division. State or the city/state geographical field is 651, indicators blank 0. If in doubt, please
consult a cataloger.
Biographical subject headings: 650 0 Artists ‡z France ‡x Biography.
When the biography is about a person who lives in the United States, you may delete the United States from the
650 field.
NOTICE THIS ONLY PERTAINS TO UNITED STATES AS A SUB-DIVISION IN A 650 FIELD. DO NOT
DELETE UNITED STATES WHEN IT APPEARS AS A 651 ‡a.

Subfield a: Verify that the ISBN in the record matches the publisher and format. If the ISBN does
not match the ISBN on the on order record, verify which ISBN is correct for the title in
hand. Leave only the correct ISBN in record.
Subfield c: Add the correct price, when available.
If the price on the paper work is for a volume set, you need to determine the price for each volume. To
find the price for each volume, take the set price and divide this amount by the number of volumes in the
set. This will give you the price for each volume. This amount is entered on price subfield in the item
record when the volumes are inventoried.
Adding ISBN numbers for paperbacks to a bibliographic record
Add the ISBN for the paperback copy when linking them to the same record as the hardback copy. Put
(pbk.) after the ISBN number, and include the price in the subfield “c”.
Paperbacks may be added to a record for the hardback, when the title, subtitle/other title information,
statement of responsibility, copyright date, edition and illustrator match exactly the title information as it
appears on the bibliographic record.
Remove any ISBN which is not on current copy in hand, since this may retrieve a different title and
generate duplicate reports.

LGPRINT is the prefix in the 092 field
For fiction titles use the appropriate genre form after LGPRINT in the 092—FICTION, MYSTERY,
SCIFI, WESTERN, author, and date, as necessary. Add month of inventory and the date for all
circulating titles that are copyrighted during the current year. Use the copyright date of the English
translation for foreign titles.
When copyright dates appear for the following year, use month of inventory and current year until Dec.
31 of current year. For example: A book is published September 2010 and received for cataloging in
September 2010, but copyrighted 2011. The 092 fields and spine label will use 09/2010.
Example: LGPRINT FICTION Flagg Fannie 01/2007
LGPRINT NON-FICTION
LGPRINT comes first in the 092 field
For non-fiction titles use the Dewy number followed by the author’s last name and date
of publication, if necessary. Be sure to check for and use the same classification as the regular print
edition if owned. Add month of inventory and the date for all circulating titles that are copyrighted
during the current year. Use the copyright date of the English translation for foreign titles.
Example: LGPRINT 001.94 Keel 01/2007
LGPRINT BIOGRAPHIES
For biographies the 092 has the name of who the book is about and the author of the book. The name of
who the book is about is taken from the 600 field on the bibliographical record. Author information

In the above example there is not mention of the series on the title page. However on the cover the series
is “Mercy of a rude stream”. In this case you add a 246 with the series title and a 490 series entry to the
bibliographic record (include the volume number if available).

“h” subfield in the 245 field
All graphic novels will have a GMD subfield “h” with “large print” in brackets.
Example: ‡h [large print]
It is inserted after the “a” subfield, and before the punctuation preceding the “b” or “c” subfields. It
follows the “n” and “p” subfields. These subfields also precede the “b” and “c” subfields. If the material
has a series volume number, add the number with the number symbol # to subfield “h” after the “large
print” within the brackets.
Example: 245 12 A light in the window ‡h[large print #2] / ‡c Jan Karon.
490 1 Mitford years ; ‡v[02]
800 1 Karon, Jan, ǂd 1937- ǂt Mitford years ; ‡v[02].
“n” subfield in the 245 field
This subfield is not common in large print to date. The “n” subfield generally occurs in 245 field
when the “a” subfield of the 245 is not unique and the only difference is numbering which does
not signify a part.
CATALOGING MANUAL Large Print
Revised: August 14, 2014
86
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “n” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.
Since the numbering is in the “n” subfield, it is unnecessary to enter the numbering in the h
subfield.
For searching and formatting for the hit list, the contents of the “n” subfield should be
standardized for the titles within a run. The volume number in the subfield “n” is included in the
call number in the 092 field and is formatted according to the instructions in the Volume field
guidelines.
Example
245 10 Id _entity. ‡nVol. 1 ‡h[graphic]
245 10 Id_entity. ‡nVol. 2 ‡h[graphic]
245 10 Id_entity. ‡nVol. 3 ‡h[graphic]
“p” subfield in the 245 field
This subfield is not common in Large print to date. One configuration is an ‘a’ subfield with a
non-unique title and a unique subtitle in a p subfield in the OCLC record. Graphic novel series
and television series are some of the materials that may have this configuration of title.
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “p” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.
Use the unique title of book in hand in title field for the 245 title for JCL catalog.

If any varying titles appear on the item, use a 246 and the appropriate indicators. Do not add varying
titles that repeat the exact wording of the 245 and additional material after it.
If title in 245 fields includes an ampersand, add a 246 with ampersand replaced with the word “and” and

JCL prefers the edition statement appearing in the following hierarchy:
1. Title page
2. Title page verso
3. First page of cover (front cover) **
4. Elsewhere on cover **
5. Preface/Introduction **
6. Jacket **

For works with multiple dates: Generally ignore printing dates, when publication dates and
copyright dates are available. For any situations not covered by this list, review AACR2, Rev.
1.4F.
If a publication date is on the title page and it matches the copyright date on the verso, use the
publication date. Example — ǂc 2007.
CATALOGING MANUAL Large Print

If a publication date is available and it differs from the copyright date, use both dates. Example -
-ǂc 2007, c2005.
ADAPTED – Use the adaptation date. Text has been changed.
EDITED – Check with a cataloger on this one. Most likely you will use the most recent
copyright date. However, this depends on how much the material was changed from the original
edition.
NEW FOREWORD – If a book contains a new foreword that has been copyrighted, and that
copyright date is different than the copyright date of the book, use the date that the foreword was
copyrighted as the publication date and keep the original copyright date on the record. Example:
2007, c1939.
PUBLISHING DATE AND COPYRIGHT DATE – If a book has a publishing date and a
copyright date, the publishing date comes first, and the copyright date second. Ignore printing
dates. Example: 2000, c1999.
RENEWED – If the copyright date has been renewed, use the original copyright date.
REPRINTS – If the fixed field has an “r: (reprint) in the Date tp subfield, the dates subfield must
contain 2 dates. The 260 field has just one date, the most current date, generally the publication
date of the work in hand.
RESTORED – Use the original copyright date, not the restored date.
REVISED – If the copyright date is revised then, use the revised copyright date.
TRANSLATION – Use the translation copyright date.
TWO COPYRIGHT DATES SEPARATED BY A COMMA – If two copyright dates separated
by a comma; use the second date, if the material is non-fiction. If the book is fiction, then
determine if the material has been changed. If there are changes, then use the second date.

Verify if the series authority record for a series title exists in the catalog. If there is an authority record in
Sirsi, the 490 field should be a transcription of the series as displayed on the book. Edit or add the 8XX
field to match the authorized heading. If there is one series title that covers all publishers and formats, use
that series heading in all existing records. If there are multiple series authority records for different
formats or different publishers use the specific series for the matching format or publisher when available.
Volume Numbers – “v” subfield
Add numbering of volume, if available in subfield “v” to 490 and 8XX fields.
Example: 490 1 The Californians ; ‡v bk. 4
800 1 Wick, Lori. ‡t Californians ; ‡v bk. 4.
If there is no series authority record available in Sirsi or OCLC, add a 490 field, first indicator 0, second
indicator blank, subfield “a” SERIES to bibliographic record. Series with no authority record will remain
in the bibliographic record as a 490 with first indicator 0. Once an authorized series authority record is
entered, the 490 0 SERIES will be deleted and series notes will be edited to match the form in the
authority record.
Example: 490 0 SERIES
Place all titles in a fiction series in the same genre (e.g. Fiction, Mystery, Science fiction).
Leave all series notes in a record. However, if an authority record instructs “use as quoted note” for a
phrase coded as a series, edit the contents of the 4XX/8XX fields present in a record into a single 500 title
note field.
Example:
130: 0|aHamish Macbeth mystery
643: |aNew York :‡bMysterious Press
667: |aGive as a quoted note.
670: |aDeath of an addict, c1999: ‡b (A Hamish Macbeth mystery)
For JCL catalog, change any 490/8XX notes in OCLC record to:
500 “A Hamish Macbeth mystery.”
490 (Unverified series)
The 490 is a descriptive field and should match the wording available for the series statement.
First indicator is 0, second indicator blank

6XX SUBJECT ACCESS
General Principles
The assignment of subject headings to individual works of fiction is intended to provide the average public library
user with an additional method of selecting recreational reading. Headings should be assigned only as they come readily to mind after a superficial review of the work being
cataloged.
Whenever possible, make the subject headings match between multiple records for the same title.
Use LCSH headings with second indicator of 0 for 600, 610, 630, 650, 651 fields
Delete all subject-heading fields with second indicators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
A minimum of one subject heading is required for all items. Two to four subject headings are preferred.
If record has only 2 subject headings, JCL prefers only one be a genre heading.
Form/genre headings indicate what the work is rather than what it is about. Select an appropriate genre heading or
headings, such as Love stories; Science fiction, Mystery fiction, War stories, etc. Generally assign no more than one
or two genre headings, expressing only the primary genre(s) of the work.
If genre headings match an LCSH heading of a 150 or 155, use that heading.
Topical Access -- Assign headings for specific topics that are the focal point of an individual literary work. Assign
headings only for topics that have been made explicit by the author or publisher, such as those topics that are
mentioned in the title, series, introductory matter, dust jacket or other prominent location. The purpose of the
topical heading is to provide access for those topics that distinguish the work from most other works. Do not assign

92
headings for vague and general topics, such as fate, evil, belief, psychology, interpersonal relations, emotions, social
customs or community life. Assign only the most specific heading that is appropriate. Normally no more than one
or two topical headings need to be assigned.
650 0 White, Blanche (Fictitious character) ‡v Fiction.
650 0 African American women ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Women detectives ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Caterers and catering ‡v Fiction.
651 0 North Carolina ‡v Fiction.
655 0 Detective and mystery stories.
Individual Characters -- If the work prominently features a real person, a legendary character, other major character
not created by the author of the work assign a subject heading for the name of the character with appropriate
subdivision such as – Fiction.
If the primary character is a fictitious character created by the author, assign a subject heading only if the
character appears in three or more wore works. Consider the character to appear prominently if it is
integral to the story line, if the name is included either in the title or a series-like statement, or if there is a
possibility that patrons may seek the work based on the character.
Classes of persons -- A heading may also be assigned for the class of persons to which the primary character
belongs, if that class of persons is established and is likely to be sought by the typical public library user., for
example, women detectives, College teachers, Private investigators. , Domestics, etc.
Setting -- Assign a subject heading for a place, event, or time period that is featured prominently in an individual
work., or when it is judged to be important for retrieval. Assign these headings only if the place or time is
significant. Generally do not assign headings for a time period that is contemporaneous to the period in which the
work was written, for example, do not express the 19th
century setting of a work that was written in the 19th
century.
Generally do not assign a heading for the country in which the work is set, when that country corresponds to the
country in which the author lives. Assign a subject for an imaginary place or organization only if the place appears
in three or more works. Fictitious places generally use the parenthetical qualifier (Imaginary place).
If other editions of a title exist in the database, copy those headings to the bibliographic record. Another
source of possible subject headings is bibliographic records for sound recordings of the title in hand,
either on SIRSI or OCLC if they are not readily available on the print record.
Guidelines for deleting the United States subdivision
Instances where you leave in the subdivision in all formats and levels:
A complete subdivision phrase: ‡z United States ‡x States
History subject headings: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡x History.
Foreign relation documents such as treaties or other documents that display reciprocal agreements between the
United States and another country.
Travel: Example: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡v Guidebooks.
If a topic heading with a sub-field ‡z United States is a cross-reference to one or more headings in our local system,
keep the subdivision in the heading.
Otherwise the subdivision ‡z United States can be deleted from all other topical headings (650 indicators blank 0).
If possible, avoid using ‡z United States for fiction headings. You should instead use the state or the city/state

Adult Graphic Novels
POLICY
There will be Adult and YA graphic novels—fiction and nonfiction.
They will be shelved separately from the regular adult fiction and nonfiction.
They will be cataloged so that holds can be placed.
Currently (2007) the branches that have adult graphic novel collections are Central, Corinth, Lackman,
Oak Park, Blue Valley, Shawnee, and Antioch.
Books with accompanying materials.
If a book comes with CD, DVD, diskette, or other accompanying materials, determine if the material is
integral to the story in the book and if the book and accompanying material can be successfully circulated.
Discard material if it is only advertising or publisher’s catalog. If all accompanying materials are
discarded, remove all notes and physical description referring to the accompanying materials.
Example: 500 Book with CD. [Delete if items are not kept]
If materials are kept, also list in Circ note of item record:
1 BOOK, 1 CD
RESPONSIBILITY
Graphic novels can be considered works of mixed responsibility
For works that have been adapted to the graphic format, use the name of the adapter as the main entry
with an author title entry for the original work. (AACR2 Revised Chapters 21.8-21.10A).
Example: City of glass ‡h [graphic] / ‡c Paul Auster ; adaptation by Paul Karasik and David
Mazzucchelli ; new introduction by Art Spiegelman. Main entry under Paul
Karasik with an added entry for Paul Auster and David Mazzucchelli.
For works listing the original author and a translator who may or may not have adapted the text, use the
original author as the main entry, especially if the original author is listed in the chief source of
information as the first author listed. Make the translator/adapter an added entry
Example: The wallflower. ‡n 8 ‡h [graphic] / ‡c Tomoko Hayakawa; translated and
adapted by David Ury ; lettered by Dana Hayward. Main entry under Hayakawa with
added entry for Ury.
For situations not listed here refer to the AACR2, Revised, Chapter 21, or consult a cataloger.
VOLUME NUMBERING
Graphic novels have many variations involving numbering.
Unique titles with no volume number
CATALOGING MANUAL Adult Graphic Novels

Unique titles with a volume number
Unique titles with a series title and no volume number.
Unique titles with a series title and a volume number.
Non-unique titles with a volume number
Manga (read back to front) that may have only the series title, no unique title and a volume
number
Translated Westernized versions of titles (read front to back) that may have series, a unique title
and no volume number.
Translated Westernized versions of titles (read front to back) that may have series, a unique title
and a volume number.
Given the possible variations of types of titles within currently received series, include the
volume number on the spine label and in the “h” subfield whenever there is a volume number for
a series that includes a unique title.
Nonunique titles with volume numbers and Manga with only the series, no unique title and a
volume number will also have the volume number on the spine label, but the volume number
will usually be in the n subfield not the subfield “h”.
Add the date to adult graphic titles, if the material has a copyright date in the current year.
Use month of inventory and current date—01/2007.
ADDS
If label rules change, and we already own titles in a series, continue with the
existing label format for that series. Do not cutter with a series, if we have not
done so in the past. Older copies will not be recalled for relabeling.
Series vs. Character
If a series involves more than one popular character already double cuttered
by character in the collection, double cutter by the series. In this case
SERIES takes precedence over a popular main character. Future titles may have
a different popular character and a different author, so double cuttering
with the series rather than the popular character will keep all titles in the
series together.
A current example is the Marvel Comics series, Civil War, which includes
titles involving individual characters such as Spider-man. Cutter by Civil
for Civil War to keep the series together.

the title in both fields, even though they are the same title.
Unique title: Use subfield “h” for the series number, when the subfield “a” in the 245 contains a unique
title and has a numbered series.
Example: 245 10 Itachi’s power |h[graphic #17]
246 3 Naruto. ǂn Vol. 17, ǂpItachi’s power
490 0 Naruto ;|v v.17
“n” subfield in the 245 field
The “n” subfield generally occurs in 245 field when the “a” subfield of the 245 is not unique and
the only difference is numbering which does not signify a part.
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “n” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.
Since the numbering is in the “n” subfield, it is unnecessary to enter the numbering in the h
subfield.
For searching and formatting for the hit list, the contents of the “n” subfield should be
standardized for the titles within a run. The volume number in the subfield “n” is included in the
call number in the 092 field and is formatted according to the instructions in the Volume field
guidelines.

“p” subfield in the 245 field
One configuration is an ‘a’ subfield with a non-unique title and a unique subtitle in a p subfield
in the OCLC record. Graphic novel series and television series are some of the materials that
may have this configuration of title.
When an “h” subfield is necessary, it follows the “p” subfield, but precedes the “b” subfield.
Use the unique title of book in hand in title field for the 245 title for JCL catalog.

246 Varying form of title
If any varying titles appear on the item, use a 246 and the appropriate indicators. Do not add varying
titles that repeat the exact wording of the 245 and additional material after it.
If title in 245 fields includes an ampersand, add a 246 with ampersand replaced with the word “and” and
vice versa.
Use 246, indicators 30, if the title contains a portion of the title in the 245.
Use 246, indicators 3 blank, if it represents a previous title.
All foreign titles should be in the 246 field with indicators 31.
Foreign titles with initial articles are repeated in 246 fields with and without the initial article.
Delete all other subfields and ending punctuation.

250 Edition
Edition statements must match exactly the information appearing on the item, except that abbreviations as
prescribed in AACR2 Rev. may be used. If more than one edition statement appears in the book, list one
in the 250 field, and the others in separate note fields indicating source of information.
JCL prefers the edition statement appearing in the following hierarchy:
1. Title page
2. Title page verso
3. First page of cover (front cover) **
4. Elsewhere on cover **
5. Preface/Introduction **
6. Jacket **
** Edition information found on these sources must appear in brackets.
Retain but do not add first edition statements:
Examples: 1st ed., 1

260 Publication
Verify place of publication, publisher and dates against information for the item in hand.
For works with multiple dates: Generally ignore printing dates, when publication dates and
copyright dates are available. For any situations not covered by this list, review AACR2, Rev.
1.4F.
If a publication date is on the title page and it matches the copyright date on the verso, use the
publication date. Example — ǂc 2007.
If a date is with the edition statement, and it matches the copyright date on the verso, use this
date. Example — ǂc 2007.
If a publication date is available and it differs from the copyright date, use both dates. Example -
-ǂc 2007, c2005.
ADAPTED – Use the adaptation date. Text has been changed.

EDITED – Check with a cataloger on this one. Most likely you will use the most recent
copyright date. However, this depends on how much the material was changed from the original
edition.
NEW FOREWORD – If a book contains a new foreword that has been copyrighted, and that
copyright date is different than the copyright date of the book, use the date that the foreword was
copyrighted as the publication date and keep the original copyright date on the record. Example:
2007, c1939.
PUBLISHING DATE AND COPYRIGHT DATE – If a book has a publishing date and a
copyright date, the publishing date comes first, and the copyright date second. Ignore printing
dates. Example: 2000, c1999.
RENEWED – If the copyright date has been renewed, use the original copyright date.
REPRINTS – If the fixed field has an “r: (reprint) in the Date tp subfield, the dates subfield must
contain 2 dates. The 260 field has just one date, the most current date, generally the publication
date of the work in hand.
RESTORED – Use the original copyright date, not the restored date.
REVISED – If the copyright date is revised then, use the revised copyright date.
TRANSLATION – Use the translation copyright date.
TWO COPYRIGHT DATES SEPARATED BY A COMMA – If two copyright dates separated
by a comma; use the second date, if the material is non-fiction. If the book is fiction, then
determine if the material has been changed. If there are changes, then use the second date.
300 Description
Pagination, including preliminary paging and illustration statements and size (cm.) must agree exactly
with the book in hand.
4XX/8XX Series
Verify if the series authority record for a series title exists in the catalog. If there is an authority record in
Sirsi, the 490 field should be a transcription of the series as displayed on the book. Edit or add the 8XX
field to match the authorized heading. If there is one series title that covers all publishers and formats, use
that series heading in all existing records. If there are multiple series authority records for different
formats or different publishers use the specific series for the matching format or publisher when available.
Volume Numbers – “v” subfield
Add numbering of volume, if available in subfield “v” to 490 and 8XX fields.
Example: 490 1 The Californians ; ‡v bk. 4
800 1 Wick, Lori. ‡t Californians ; ‡v bk. 4.

If there is no series authority record available in Sirsi or OCLC, add a 490 field, first indicator 0, second
indicator blank, subfield “a” SERIES to bibliographic record. Series with no authority record will remain
in the bibliographic record as a 490 with first indicator 0. Once an authorized series authority record is
entered, the 490 0 SERIES will be deleted and series notes will be edited to match the form in the
authority record.
Example: 490 0 SERIES
Place all titles in a fiction series in the same genre (e.g. Fiction, Mystery, Science fiction).
Leave all series notes in a record. However, if an authority record instructs “use as quoted note” for a
phrase coded as a series, edit the contents of the 4XX/8XX fields present in a record into a single 500 title
note field.
Example:
130: 0|aHamish Macbeth mystery
643: |aNew York :‡bMysterious Press

For JCL catalog, change any 490/8XX notes in OCLC record to:
500 “A Hamish Macbeth mystery.”
490 (Unverified series)
The 490 is a descriptive field and should match the wording available for the series statement.
First indicator is 0, second indicator blank
Example: 490 0 Heiress in London ;|v02
490/800 fields
In 490 field, the first indicator is 1; second indicator blank.
In the 800 field, the first indicator is usually 1, second indicator is blank. Example: 490 1 The Californians ; ‡v bk. 4
800 1 Wick, Lori. ‡t Californians ; ‡v bk. 4.

650 Subject Tracings
Delete subject headings which include Comic books, strips, etc as part of the main heading from works
of fiction.
Ex. Romance comic books, strips, etc.
Change the subdivision ‡v Comic books, strips, etc. to ‡v Fiction for Graphic fiction.
Retain the subdivision Comic book, strips, etc. for non-fiction graphic titles.
The assignment of subject headings to individual works is intended to provide the average public library
user with subject access to select nonfiction and recreational reading.
Headings should be assigned only as they come readily to mind after a superficial review of the work
being cataloged.
Whenever possible, make the subject headings match between multiple records for the same title.
See LCSH headings with second indicator of 0 for 600, 610, 630, 650, 651 fields
Delete all subject-heading fields with second indicators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
A minimum of one subject heading is required for all items. Two to four subject headings are preferred.
If record has only 2 subject headings for fiction, JCL prefers only one be a genre heading.
Form/genre headings indicate what the work is rather than what it is about. Select an appropriate genre
heading or headings, such as Love stories; Science fiction, Mystery fiction, War stories, etc. for fiction.
Generally assign no more than one or two genre headings, expressing only the primary genre(s) of the
work.
Use genre headings from Guidelines on subject access to individual works of fiction, drama, etc. 2nd
ed.
Only genre headings in OCLC with ‡2 lcsh can be changed to 655 0 [heading] and delete ‡2. Add but
do not delete genre headings.

Topical Access -- Assign headings for specific topics that are the focal point of an individual literary work. Assign
headings only for topics that have been made explicit by the author or publisher, such as those topics that are
mentioned in the title, series, introductory matter, dust jacket or other prominent location. The purpose of the
topical heading is to provide access for those topics that distinguish the work from most other works. Do not assign
headings for vague and general topics, such as fate, evil, belief, psychology, interpersonal relations, emotions, social
customs or community life. Assign only the most specific heading that is appropriate. Normally no more than one
or two topical headings need to be assigned.
650 0 White, Blanche (Fictitious character) ‡v Fiction.
650 0 African American women ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Women detectives ‡v Fiction.
650 0 Caterers and catering ‡v Fiction.
651 0 North Carolina ‡v Fiction.
655 0 Detective and mystery stories.
Individual Characters -- If the work prominently features a real person, a legendary character, other major character
not created by the author of the work assign a subject heading for the name of the character with appropriate
subdivision such as – Fiction.
If the primary character is a fictitious character created by the author, assign a subject heading only if the
character appears in three or more wore works. Consider the character to appear prominently if it is
integral to the story line, if the name is included either in the title or a series-like statement, or if there is a
possibility that patrons may seek the work based on the character.
Classes of persons -- A heading may also be assigned for the class of persons to which the primary character
belongs, if that class of persons is established and is likely to be sought by the typical public library user., for
example, women detectives, College teachers, Private investigators. , Domestics, etc.
Setting -- Assign a subject heading for a place, event, or time period that is featured prominently in an individual
work., or when it is judged to be important for retrieval. Assign these headings only if the place or time is
significant. Generally do not assign headings for a time period that is contemporaneous to the period in which the
work was written, for example, do not express the 19th
century setting of a work that was written in the 19th
century.
Generally do not assign a heading for the country in which the work is set, when that country corresponds to the
country in which the author lives. Assign a subject for an imaginary place or organization only if the place appears
in three or more works. Fictitious places generally use the parenthetical qualifier (Imaginary place).
If other editions of a title exist in the database, copy those headings to the bibliographic record. Another
source of possible subject headings is bibliographic records for sound recordings of the title in hand,
either on SIRSI or OCLC if they are not readily available on the print record.
Guidelines for deleting the United States subdivision
Instances where you leave in the subdivision in all formats and levels:
A complete subdivision phrase: ‡z United States ‡x States
History subject headings: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡x History.
Foreign relation documents such as treaties or other documents that display reciprocal agreements between the
United States and another country.
Travel: Example: 650 0 Cities and towns ‡z United States ‡v Guidebooks.

If a topic heading with a sub-field ‡z United States is a cross-reference to one or more headings in our local system,
keep the subdivision in the heading.
Otherwise the subdivision ‡z United States can be deleted from all other topical headings (650 indicators blank 0).
If possible, avoid using ‡z United States for fiction headings. You should instead use the state or the city/state
geographical sub-division. State or the city/state geographical field is 651, indicators blank 0. If in doubt, please
consult a cataloger.
