Cataloging Networked Resources in
HOLLIS
Revised 2 May 2000
Re-Edited 6 September 2001
Contents:
In recent years, networked resources have become an increasingly important
part of library collections. These guidelines are intended to assist catalogers
in the preparation of catalog records that will appear in HOLLIS catalog and to promote
consistency in the database. They were prepared by the Standing Subcommittee on
Serials, Series and Continuations of the Standing Subcommittee on
Bibliographic Standards and Policy as a supplement to the HUL Bibliographic
Standards.
Computer network resources include any electronic resources that are accessed
through a computer network, whether the Internet or a LAN (local area network).
Examples are web sites, documents available over the World Wide Web, electronic
journals, and online databases, as well as CD-ROMs accessed through a LAN. The
term does not include CD-ROMs that are accessed through a stand-alone
computer.
HOLLIS CATALOG POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
Staff who catalog networked resources should have a basic understanding of
using the network, be familiar with major network applications (e.g. World Wide
Web, FTP), and understand the formulation of uniform resource locators (URLs).
Unlike traditional library materials, networked resources are generally not
under the library's physical control. Cataloging a networked resource represents
a commitment by the library to maintain current electronic location and access
data (for example, the URL). Reports from link-checking software will be made
available to libraries on a regular basis to assist them in maintaining
links.
The practices and standards for cataloging electronic resources are still
evolving and the nature of the electronic resources themselves continues to
change. This document cannot answer all questions about the cataloging of
electronic resources; it assumes a solid knowledge of current principles and
practices in cataloging. Questions that arise in connection with the cataloging
of serials may be directed to the HUL CONSER Office. Other questions concerning
the cataloging of electronic resources may be referred to the chair of the
Standing Subcommittee on Bibliographic Standards and Policy (http://hul.harvard.edu/cmtes/haac/bsp.html).
1) Which bibliographic record to use
Harvard libraries generally follow a single-record approach for multiple
versions (HUL Bibliographic Standards
3.10). Under this policy, information describing various kinds of
reproductions of a work is included in LOC fields and holdings records,
including the 856 field, which are attached to the bibliographic record for the
original (usually print) work. This differs somewhat from CONSER’s single-record
approach for electronic resources (cf. CONSER Cataloging Manual, section
31.3.5), which uses note fields and field 856 in the OCLC bibliographic record
to give information about electronic versions of a work.
If a networked resource presents itself as an electronic version of the
original publication in another format, add a LOC for the networked resource to
the record for the original. For example, scanned images of a journal or the
online version of an index may be cataloged by adding a separate LOC field and
holdings record to the bibliographic record for the print.
Harvard applies the following guidelines to all formats:
- The single-record approach is used when the original and online versions
have equivalent content or when the online version has no significant additional
content. Different manifestations (for example, Postscript, WordPerfect, ASCII)
of an electronic document or resource are cataloged on a single record. The
single-record approach is also used when the online version lacks full-text or
has only selected full-text from the original.
- Separate records are used when the online version has significant additional
content not present in the original. The choice of a separate-record approach in
such cases means that the versions are not considered equivalent and the
difference of the online version from the original is significant to users.
Single-record approach
- The body of the description represents the original version
- Note the availability of the online version in field 530
- Add a 740 title added entry for the online version (with the qualifier
(Online) if appropriate)
- Identify its electronic location in field 856 (in the bibliographic record
in OCLC/RLIN; in a holdings record in HOLLIS catalog)
- If a separate ISSN has been assigned to the online serial, enter it in field
022 $y
Harvard practice requires the use of field 807 (corresponding to MARC21 field
007) in the holdings record of the electronic version (cf. example 1B below and 4.3.1 Computer
Files, an addendum to the HOLLIS Holdings Editing Guide). (CONSER
practice: when using the single-record approach, do not use an 007 field for the
computer file if the bibliographic record is for another format.)
Separate-record approach
In the separate-record approach, the electronic and non-electronic versions
of a resource are cataloged on separate bibliographic records, each describing
the respective versions as original editions. See example 2B
for a separately-cataloged electronic resource which is not equivalent to any
one print publication. See also section 8, "Other fields in
records for separately-cataloged resources," below.
If the physical format of a serial changes, e.g. the print publication ceases
and is replaced by a microfiche or electronic version, it is treated like a
title change and a new record is created (cf. LCRI 21.3B).

2) Which LOC code to use
Electronic resources accessible from devices outside the cataloging unit’s
library, e.g. resources available through HOLLIS portal or resources available on
the Internet, should be cataloged using the LOC code, "|i net". The "net" LOC
displays in the public catalog as "Networked Resource:"
Networked resources accessible only from within an individual Harvard library
or at some limited set of physical devices should be cataloged using that
library's LOC code; for example, use of a unit library’s LOC is appropriate for
CD-ROMs or other computer files which are mounted on a single machine or on a
unit’s LAN. In such instances, the library’s LOC code and the sublocation "|c
Networked Resource" are used.

3) Which LOC subfields to use
Whether using a unit’s LOC code or the LOC code "net," always add a subfield
|k (the LOC reporting subfield) in the form "|k net[cataloging unit’s LOC
code]", for example, |k netwid. This subfield is used by the URL checking
software to identify the unit responsible for maintaining the URL in the
holdings record.
A bibliographic record which describes an electronic resource should include
a note indicating the date the resource was updated and the date it was viewed.
If this information is not in the bibliographic description (for example, when
the description is for the non-electronic version), it may be included in the
LOC field in subfield |n.
Example 3: LOC subfields
LOC/1: c: |i net |k netwid |n Description based on update
dated 26 December 1998 |
4) The URL and other access information
Electronic location and access information goes in the 856 field, and
notes on restrictions on access in field 506. In OCLC and RLIN, these fields are
part of the bibliographic record, but, in the HOLLIS catalog, they are stored in a holdings
record, whether the fields come from a bibliographic utility record or are
entered manually.
When a bibliographic utility record is loaded in the HOLLIS catalog, a holdings record
will be created for the targeted LOC and the 856 and/or 506 from the
bibliographic record will be placed into the holdings. If the targeted LOC
already has a holdings record, the incoming information will be discarded. If
the 856 needs correction later, updates should be made directly in the HOLLIS catalog.
Information on what happens in the duplicate detection and resolution process is
contained in chapter 10 of the HOLLIS Reference Manual and its Appendixes
T and U.
Any URL that is entered in an 856 field should be verified to be sure the
resource is accessible at that address. In some cases, a specific URL may be
available for a resource, but it cannot be accessed except through a menu which
resides at a different URL. In that case, give the URL for the menu together
with a note.
Internet addresses commonly contain two characters -- the spacing underscore
( _ ) and the spacing tilde (~) -- which cannot be input and displayed in HOLLIS
(nor in most other library systems).
To input a spacing underscore in a URL, use
the hexadecimal value "5F" preceded by a percent sign (%5F) -- for example:
| |
http://www.yahoo.com/Education/K_12 |
= |
http://www.yahoo.com/Education/K%5F12
|
To input a spacing tilde, use the value "7E" preceded by a percent sign (%7E) -- for
example:
| |
http://core.symnet.net/~VOU/ |
= |
http://core.symnet.net/%7EVOU/
|
OCLC serial records claimed with a CONSER national level authorization do
not cause a holdings record to be created in HOLLIS catalog. The 856 field must be
entered in the holdings record directly.

6) Different levels of the resource
Some electronic resources are presented as collective resources with two or
more "levels" of information. The cataloger should use judgment about what level
of a given resource to catalog. Two issues to consider are ease of access for
the user and how similar print sources would be treated. For example, a
collective resource might be cataloged as one item, with or without a contents
note or analytics:

7) Form/genre access
Whether creating a new record or adding to a record for the original in a
different format, the HUL Bibliographic Standards,
Appendix B, require adding a 655 field for "Computer network
resources".
655: 7: |a Computer network resources. |2
local
Add other appropriate terms and their sources; for example:
655: 7: |a Electronic journals. |2 lcsh
8) Other fields in records for separately-cataloged
resources
The bibliographic description for a separately-cataloged electronic resource
must include the following fields:
- 006 for computer files (unless the resource is cataloged using the
computer file format). See 006 Fixed-Length Data Elements: Additional Material
Characteristics.
- 007 for computer files (field 807 in the HOLLIS holdings record)
- 245 |h [computer file]
- a 500 note giving the source of the title; for example:
500: : |a Title from first screen.
500: : |a Description based on: Vol. 2, no. 2 (Apr. 1995); title from journal
home page (viewed Nov. 29, 1997).
- a 538 note giving the mode of access; for example:
Optionally, add a 516 field (Type of Computer File or Data) and/or a
256 field (Computer File Characteristics). For example:
516:8 : |a Electronic journal available in ASCII, Acrobat, and
PostScript file formats
256: : |a Computer data
Field 256 is not used in CONSER serial records; use the 516 field.
Do not use field 300 in records for remote-access electronic resources.
Note that the use of the computer file format (i.e., Leader/06=m) has been
restricted to the following classes of electronic resources: computer software
(including programs, games, fonts), numeric data, computer-oriented multimedia,
online systems or services. Other classes of electronic resources are coded for
their most significant aspect (e.g. language material, graphic, cartographic
material, sound, music, moving image).

9) Holdings record fixed fields
For holdings record fixed fields, in general, use whatever values
apply to the material. Match the RECTYP with the bibliographic level -- that is,
use 'y' if the bibliographic level is 's'; otherwise, use 'x'.
The following values can be used as defaults when cataloging electronic
resources:
HU CREATED 06/14/97 UPDATED 07/14/97 FORMAT:H
RECSTAT n RECTYP: x
LVL: 1 STAT: 1 METH: z RET: 1 COM: 0 COP: 01 CAN: LANG:
|
10) Other holdings information
Frequently, it will not be practical to maintain holdings information in
853/863 fields, particularly if the resource is not something, such as a CD-ROM,
that the library physically receives. For the majority of remote-access
resources for which the library receives no change notification and over which
the library has no control, consider using an open holdings statement or none at
all, rather than giving detailed information which will grow inaccurate and
obsolete.
For more information about the holdings record, see the online addition to
the HOLLIS Holdings Editing Guide (2nd ed.): 4.3.1
Computer Files.
CATALOGING NETWORKED RESOURCES IN HOLLIS PORTAL
As the Library provides access to a growing number of electronic resources
through the HOLLIS portal and the web sites of
the individual libraries, the user community will benefit from their integration
with other resources in the Union Catalog of the Harvard Libraries (HOLLIS catalog).
A unit sponsoring a resource for access through the HOLLIS portal must arrange for
cataloging in HOLLIS catalog. Resources available on a trial basis only are typically
not cataloged.
Cataloging for any resource listed in the HOLLIS portal should follow the same
guidelines outlined in the various documents provided for Harvard staff by the
Standing Subcommittee
on Bibliographic Standards and Policy and its Standing Subcommittee
on Serials, Series, and Continuations.
Several conventions are followed when cataloging electronic resources for
the HOLLIS portal:
- Restriction on access, if any, should be noted in the holdings record:
- For resources restricted by IP address:
- 506: : |a Available from workstations connected to the Harvard network.
- For resources restricted by login/password:
- 506: : |a Available to users with a valid Harvard ID.
- URLs for HOLLIS portal resources should point to the resource page associated
with each resource and have the following form:
-
- 856:40: |u http://nrs.harvard.edu/hrs:hul.eresource:[filename]
When a resource is in testing for the HOLLIS portal, the sponsoring unit is
notified that it is available for cataloging. Notification of serial resource
availability is coordinated through the CONSER Office. Because HOLLIS patrons do
not have access to resources during this phase, the cataloging status indicator
in the LOC should be set to "x." When a resource is released and available for
patron use as a part of the monthly production cycle, the cataloger should
change the value to "c."
