Creating a MARC Collection-level Record

To create a new collection record:
  1. The cataloger will receive from the Media Union selectors a set of slides and a set of FileMaker Pro records (if available). The slide at the left of the row in the plastic holder should be considered authoritative for the collection theme and the rest of the items in that row should be considered as parts of that collection.
  2. Enter MCAT, call up a visual images workform new f and fill in the following required fields:
    • R/T: g (projected medium)
    • BL: c (means collection-level record)
    • E/L: _ (means full level record)
    • DCF: a (means aacr2 standards used)
    • Place: xx (means location not relevant)
    • Lang: three blanks

    • TECH: n (not applicable)
    • GOVT: blank
