>FOOTNOTES:
>
>1. Computer files cover material encoded for manipulation by computer.
>These materials fall within the scope of Chapter 9 of _AACR2_ and, where
>applicable, the _Guidelines for Bibliographic Description of Interactive
>Multimedia_ (ALA, 1994). Included are data (e.g., text, image, numeric,
>sound) and software (e.g., spreadsheets, word processors, games) that may e
>stored on, or contained in, carriers available by direct access
>(e.g.,CD-ROMs) or by remote access (e.g., Internet resources). Computer file
>serials are not within the scope of this standard (see CONSER Record
>Requirements for Computer Files at:
>http://lcweb.loc.gov/acq/conser/recordreq.html).
>
>2. Applying the latest published version of the National Level Record (NLR)
>standard, code all bytes and fields designated by the NLR as mandatory, and
>supply any applicable bytes and fields designated by the NLR as
>mandatory-if-applicable. The NLR standard is detailed in Appendix A of the
>_USMARC Format for Bibliographic Data_ prepared by the Network evelopment
>and MARC Standards Office, Library of Congress. NOTE: Depending on the
>individual automated system or bibliographic utility, part or all of the
>Leader and Directory and some variable control fields may be system supplied.
>
>3. For Program for Cooperative Cataloging records only.
>
>4. Assign at least one classification number from an established
>classification system supported in the USMARC Format.
>
>5. Supply a uniform title if it is known or can be readily inferred from the
>item being cataloged.
>
>6. Title Variants: Use judgment in assessing each item and assign a
>complement of title variants which covers variations deemed important and
>coded as appropriate. The importance of title variant access information is
>intended to reflect individual cataloger's judgment and/or local
>institutional policy.
>
>7. Code if information is readily available.
>
>8. Transcribe all series as found on an item in either a 490 or a 440 field.
> All traced series must be supported by a national level authority record.
>Untraced series need not be supported by a national level authority record.
>If a national level series authority record already exists for the series,
>follow the first tracing practice indicated on the record and record the
>series and tracing appropriately (i.e., in a 490 field, a 440 field or a
>490/8XX pairing).
>
>9. FOR DIRECT ACCESS FILES: Make a "System requirements" note according
>toChapter 9 of _AACR2_.
>
>10. FOR REMOTE ACCESS FILES: Make a "Mode of access" note according to
>Chapter 9 of _AACR2_.
>
>11. FOR INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA: Make a note according to instructions in the
>_Guidelines for Bibliographic Description for Interactive Multimedia_. A note
>combining source of edition and source of title proper may be made if
>appropriate for the item.
>
>12. FOR REMOTE ACCESS FILES: Make if material is available as a separate
>online file or physical document.
>
>13. Supply a dissertation note for unpublished theses.
>
>14. Supply when the content of the item is not obvious from the rest of the
>bibliographic record.
>
>15. Supply a contents note for multipart items with separate titles.
>
>16. If appropriate, assign at least one or two subject headings from an
>established thesaurus or subject heading system and/or genre/form list
>recognized by the USMARC Format. Subject headings should be assigned at the
>appropriate level of specificity.
>
>17. Use judgment in assessing each item and assign a complement of added
>entries which cover primary relationships associated with a work (e.g.,
>writer, programmer, principal investigator, producer, featured composer,
>animator and/or other artist). The inclusion and importance of added entries
>are intended to reflect individual cataloger's judgment and/or local
>institutional policy.
>
>18. Assign at least one 856 field giving an electronic location of the item
>at the time of cataloging.
