1 Coding Practice for Integrating Resources
AACR2 chapter 12 revisions
On December 1, 2002, OCLC will begin implementation of the changes in MARC 21 needed to support the revised rules in Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2, 2nd ed., 2002 revision, chapter 12). Chapter 12 encompasses all continuing resources. Rules for integrating resources both in print (loose-leafs) and electronic format (updating databases and web sites) have also been added to this chapter. These rules were added to accommodate the seriality aspects of both serials and integrating resources.
Definitions
The following definitions are from the Glossary of AACR2, 2nd ed., 2002 revision:
Continuing resource. A bibliographic resource that is issued over time with no predetermined conclusion. Continuing resources include serials and ongoing integrating resources.
Integrating resource. A bibliographic resource that is added to or changed by means of updates that do not remain discrete and are integrated into the whole. Integrating resources can be finite or continuing. Integrating resources include updating loose-leafs and updating web sites.
Serial. A continuing resource issued in a succession of discrete parts, usually bearing numbering, that has no predetermined conclusion. Serials include annual reports, continuing directories, electronic journals, journals, magazines, monographic series and newspapers.
Updating loose-leaf. An integrating resource that consists of one or more base volumes updated by separate pages that are inserted, removed and/or substituted.
Coding integrating resources
The changes at OCLC will occur in two phases:
- In Phase 1, OCLC will implement the changes announced in this technical bulletin.
Summary of Phase 1 Changes Freq Code k (Continuously updated) defined S/L S/L renamed Entry Convention
Code 2 (Integrated entry) definedSrTp SrTp renamed Type of Continuing Resource
Codes d (Updating database), l (Updating loose-leaf) and w (Updating web site) defined022 Field redefined to include integrating resources 222 Field redefined to include integrating resources 247 Field redefined to include integrating resources 310 Field redefined to include integrating resources 321 Field redefined to include integrating resources 362 Field redefined to include integrating resources 539 Subfield ‡e code k (Continuously updated) defined 547 Field redefined to include integrating resources 550 Field redefined to include integrating resources 580 Field redefined to include integrating resources
- In Phase 2, OCLC will define code i in the fixed-field element Bibliographic Level ( BLvl ) to indicate that a work is an integrating resource. Phase 2 will be implemented no earlier than July 2003, as previously announced by the Library of Congress, the Research Libraries Group and OCLC.
For textual integrating resources, code i will be used in connection with the serials format fixed field. This contrasts with the current practice of using the books format fixed field.
Interim period between December 2002 and the implementation of BLvl code i
Between December 2002 and the future implementation of BLvl code i, follow these guidelines:
- Continue to use BLvl code m (Monograph) when coding a record for an integrating resource. Do not use code s (Serial) for an integrating resource.
- Add a serial 006 field to records you input or replace for integrating resources. OCLC will likely use data included in the serial 006 field to formulate fixed-field elements in a future conversion of integrating resource records from BLvl code m to code i following implementation of Phase 2.
- In field 006, use code k in Frequency ( Freq ), when appropriate, to indicate that an integrating resource is continuously updated.
- Use codes d, l and w in Type of Continuing Resource ( SrTp , formerly Type of Serial), when appropriate, to indicate that an integrating resource is an updating database, updating loose-leaf or updating Website.
- Use code 2 in Entry Convention ( S/L , formerly Successive/Latest Entry) to indicate that the record was formulated using the revised rules for integrated entry.
OCLC will change online data validation rules on a number of other existing fields that are used almost exclusively in serials cataloging. The change will permit these fields to be used in records for integrating resources during the interim period. These include fields 022, 222, 247, 310, 321, 362 and 547.

| Fixed-field element renamed | Entry Convention Formerly, Successive/Latest Entry Mnemonic stays as S/L | |
| Code defined | 2 | Integrated entry A record is cataloged under its latest title or issuing body. Create a new record only for a major change in edition, a new work or a title merger or split. Use for continuing resources and integrating resources that do not retain their earlier titles. |

The 12 inch disc is the most common size and is typically used for movies. The disc or its packaging usually bear the term or trademark: LD (LASER DISC), LASER VIDEODISC or LaserVision. The 8 and 4-3/4 inch discs are uncommon and typically used for music videos or other short video programs. The disc or its packaging usually bear the term or trademark: CDV (CD VIDEO), LD (LASER DISC) or VSD (VIDEO SINGLE DISC). | ||
| Subfield ‡e code v defined | v | DVD A laser optical (reflective) videorecording system that uses a digital technique called PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) to represent video information on a grooveless, smooth, round plastic disc.
