The concept of the Registry of Digital Masters[1] developed out of the work of the Digital Library Federation. The Registry has been implemented as a subset of OCLC WorldCat. These Record Creation Guidelines are based on two Digital Library Federation (DLF) papers describing the functionality of a digital registry, Registry of Archival Masters of [Born] Digital Monographs and Serials Functional Requirements and Registry of Digital Reproductions of Paper-based Monographs. The documents may be found on the DLF Web site (http://www.diglib.org/collections/reg/reg.htm or digitally reformatted monographs and serials and born digital monographs and serials).

These Guidelines use MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data elements and OCLC (Online Computer Library Center Inc.) current cataloging system functionality for Phase 1 of the DLF digital registry project. MARC 21 field 042 “dlr” indicates that a bibliographic record is in the Registry.

It is also recommended that the DLF Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials (http://purl.oclc.org/DLF/benchrepro0212) be used to document the minimum characteristics of digital materials: digital reproductions or born digital.

2 Purpose

By recording materials in the Registry, institutions are signaling the intent to preserve and maintain the accessibility of the described materials over an extended timeframe. This implies that materials were born digital or have been converted to digital form, that the digital objects are stored in professionally managed systems, and that the institution is committed to retain and preserve them. When registered, materials should already be digitized, or be in an active queue for digitization. It is recommended, but not required, that a use copy (a network-accessible, but not necessarily free, copy) of any material registered be available on-line to the general public. Where digitally reformatted materials are concerned, reproductions should be of meaningful bibliographic entities.

These guidelines detail which MARC 21 elements should be used to carry Registry-required information. Registry records describe materials that an institution intends to digitize, either from existing paper- and/or microfilm-based materials (“intent to digitize”), as well as born digital materials, and to indicate the standards by which the registered objects have been digitized.

A Registry record also provides information about whether a specific item has already been digitized, and if so, whether the digitization has been done at an adequate level such that another digital copy is not required, what institution is responsible for the digitization, what institution is responsible for the preservation of the digital content, and what specific materials are available.

3 Implementation Guidelines

The guidelines, produced under the aegis of the DLF Registry of Digital Masters Working Group, are designed to promote consistency in how Registry information is recorded, enabling more effective services to be developed for libraries and for users. We encourage all institutions taking preservation responsibility for digital content to produce records using the Registry elements and MARC 21 as described in this document and in the two DLF papers.

The MARC record should have a description of the born digital object or a digital reproduction. It should reference detailed holdings when appropriate, so that others can accurately gauge the extent of the digital material. The metadata may be derived from inspection of the physical material, the microform, or the digital object itself. One bibliographic record could represent all versions of an item, but it is preferred that a separate record be supplied for each manifestation when physical formats and system requirements differ from the original form of an item/object.

All Registry records should conform to either at least the first level of description from Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd edition[2], 2002 Revision or a national equivalent. In addition, the following MARC 21 fields should be used as appropriate to record DLF digital registry information as described in the guidelines:

· 007/00 for electronic resource

· 007/11 for source of a digital file

· 007/13 for access and/or preservation indicator

· 042 for identification of Registry materials

· 506 for access restrictions

· 533 for reproduction notes

· 534 for original production notes [not recommended]

· 538 for technical details about digital resource

· 583 for preservation/reproduction actions and/or links

· 856 for access to electronic resources

4 When to Use the Registry

The following table describes the type of item available—1) Master Only 2) Use Copy Only 3) Master/Use Copy 4) No Master/No Use Copy— and whether to include that type of item in the Registry or not:

Type of Item	Inclusion in the Registry [3]
Master only	Yes, may reside in the Registry.
Use copy only	No, a bibliographic record may not be within the subset that represents the Registry, but may be in OCLC WorldCat.
Master/Use copy	Yes, may reside in the Registry.
No Master/No Use copy	No, may not reside in the Registry.

5 How Does This Fit in With What Your Institution is Doing or Intends to Do?

There may already be digitization projects at your institution or you may be planning to digitize materials in the future, or you may be collecting born digital content. You may already require or have accessible the technical and preservation information standards used to digitize materials. The Registry and use of standard metadata[4] can be used as verification of your digitization or intent to digitize methodology, that you conform to standards and best practices, provide consistency when describing digital or queued materials, and express your commitment to maintain and preserve the digital materials for the long term.

Whether you add new bibliographic records for digitized materials or update existing records for print materials with intent to digitize information, searching and contributing to the Registry may help determine what to or what not to digitize for your or any other institution.

6 Contribution to the Registry (via OCLC WorldCat)

There are several options for contribution to the Registry:

Adding records for materials not in WorldCat

Online input
Online import – may import a file of records to the OCLC Connexion save file[5]
Offline batch import – may send a file of records

Updating existing records in WorldCat

Online input – incorporate Registry information into current workflow
Online import – not available for updating
Offline batch – may send a file of records

7 Access to Registry Records

OCLC availability and access to Registry records: Registry records may be searched in OCLC Connexion and FirstSearch WorldCat by the label “ac” (authentication code). A typical search would be “ac=dlr[6]”.

Public access is also available on the Digital Library Federation Web site at http://purl.oclc.org/DLF/collections/reg/OCLCservice.

8 How to Get Started [7]

What do I need to get started? In addition to these guidelines, it may be useful to have access to the following documents referred to in section 1 of the guidelines[8]:

DLF Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproduction of Monographs and Serials http://purl.oclc.org/DLF/benchrepro0212

Provides the guidance and recommendations for documenting minimum characteristics that digital objects share. For material converted in accordance with this benchmark, this information may be linked from the Registry record using MARC 21 field 538 $u.

Preservation & Digitization Actions: Terminology for MARC 21 Field 583 http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/pda.html

Provides controlled vocabulary for your preservation and digitization actions used in MARC 21 field 583 subfield $a.

· Standardized Terminology for Access Restriction

http://purl.oclc.org/NET/506Vocabulary

Provides controlled vocabulary, whether or not access restrictions exist, used in MARC 21 field 506 subfield $f.

Note that subfield $f has not been implemented in systems as of May 2007; it will be used when it is available. In the meantime, use subfield $a.

You may also use the “cheat sheet”, or a short list of minimum Registry requirements, in Section 12, Registry Requirements, of the guidelines, to help you through the process. Although some fields are listed as optional, it is suggested that you include the information if known.

We will now walk through several scenarios of what needs to be included in a Registry of Digital Masters record, or “Registry record”.

8.1 Intent to Digitize from print copy (separate record approach)

You intend to digitize an item. Although there is a print copy record available in OCLC WorldCat, there is no metadata for a digitized version. You have determined by what standards the item is to be digitized. In addition to other required MARC 21 fields, you would include the following Registry fields on a new record (if you are following the separate record approach):

¨ 007/00 c ($a c) (Category of material) – code for electronic resource

¨ 007/11 ($j) (Antecedent/Source) – source of the file; dependent on the project and/or the object

¨ 007/13 p ($l p) (Reformatting Quality) – code for the preservation copy

¨ 007/13 a ($l a) (Reformatting Quality) – code for the access copy

Examples:

007 $a c $j a $l p

007 $a c $j c $l a

¨ 042 (Authentication Code) – code for dlr; this field may be added or edited by Full or higher authorizations.

042 $a dlr

Note: 042 is not a repeatable field. If more than one 042 code is needed, repeat subfield $a.

¨ 506 (Restrictions on Access Note) – Whether access is restricted or not, access to a digital object must be specified. Terminology for 506 $f is described in Standardized Terminology for Access Restriction. Examples:

506 $3 Master copy $a preservation copy $f No online access $2 star

506 $3 Use copy $f Preview only $2 star $u http://conditionalurl.htm

Note: The master copy need not be available; however, a use copy could be accessible, although not necessarily for “free”.

Note: Subfield $f has not been implemented in systems as of May 2007; it will be used when it is available. In the meantime, use subfield $a.

¨ 538 (System Details Note) Describes technical details about the electronic resources. A URI may be included for more detailed information. Examples:

538 $a Master copy and use copy. Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002. $u http://purl.oclc.org/DLF/benchrepro0212

¨ 583 (Action Note) Records information about processing, reference and preservation actions. Use Preservation & Digitization Actions: Terminology for MARC 21 Field 583 for the most current terminology when describing the institution’s commitment to preservation (the archiving institution) and/or further actions taken on born digital objects, such as migration to a different format. The first indicator indicates whether or not the field content is suitable for public display. Use $h to record the archiving institution. Use the phrase “committed to preserve” in $l. Example:

583 1 $a Will digitize $c 2007 $h [name of archiving institution] $l committed to preserve $2 pda $5 [your MARC organization code]

Note: $2 pda is the code (from MARC Code Lists for Relators, Sources, Description Conventions) used for the Terminology 583 document.

Note: Field 856 is not required as it is unknown at this stage of the process and would be added when the material in online.

8.2 Digitization of print copy complete (separate record approach)

The digitization of a print copy is complete. In addition to other required MARC 21 fields, you would include the following Registry fields on a new record (if you are following the separate record approach):

¨ 007/00 c ($a c) (Category of material) – code for electronic resource

¨ 007/11 ($j) (Antecedent/Source) – source of the file; dependent on the project and/or the object

¨ 007/13 p ($l p) (Reformatting Quality) – code for the preservation copy

¨ 007/13 a ($l a) (Reformatting Quality) – code for the access copy

Examples:

007 $a c $j a $l p

007 $a c $j a $l a

007 $a c $j c $l a

¨ 042 (Authentication Code) – code for dlr; this field may be added or edited by Full or higher authorizations.

042 $a dlr

Note: 042 is not a repeatable field. If more than one 042 code is needed, repeat subfield $a.

506 $3 Master copy $a preservation copy $f No online access $2 star

506 $3 Use copy $f Preview only $2 star $u http://conditionalurl.htm

Note: The master copy need not be available; however, a use copy could be accessible, although not necessarily for “free”.

Note: Subfield $f has not been implemented in systems as of May 2007; it will be used when it is available. In the meantime, use subfield $a.

¨ 538 (System Details Note) Describes technical details about the electronic resource. A URI may be included for more detailed information. Examples:

538 $a Master and use copy. Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002. $u http://purl.oclc.org/DLF/benchrepro0212

¨ 533 (Reproduction Note) Need to provide agency responsible for the reproduction which may be different from preservation institution. Holdings information may be recorded here. Example:

533 $a Electronic reproduction. $b [Chicago] : $b University of Chicago, $c [2007] $5 ICU

583 1 $a Digitized $c 2007 $h [name of archiving institution] $l committed to preserve $2 pda $5 [your MARC organization code]

Note: $2 pda is the code (from MARC Code Lists for Relators, Sources, Description Conventions) used for the Terminology 583 document.

¨ 856 (Electronic Location and Access) -- A persistent link to the master and/or use copy. Example:

856 40 $3 use copy $z Full text, Acrobat Reader required $u http://validurl.htm

s 1^st 4 = http (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

s 2^nd 0 = Resource (for the same source as described)

8.3 Born Digital Object

You want to add a born digital object to the Registry. There is no metadata version available in WorldCat. In addition to other required MARC 21 fields, you would include the following Registry fields:

¨ 007 For most born digital objects, field 007, subfields $j and $l, are not applicable, but may be applicable for reformatted digital materials.

¨ 007/00 c ($a c) (Category of material) – code for electronic resource

Example:

007 $a c

¨ 042 (Authentication Code) – code for dlr; this field may be added or edited by Full or higher authorizations.

042 $a dlr

Note: 042 is not a repeatable field. If more than one 042 code is needed, repeat subfield $a.

506 $3 Master copy $a preservation copy $f No online access $2 star

506 $3 Use copy $f Preview only $2 star $u http://conditionalurl.htm

Note: The master copy need not be available; however, a use copy could be accessible, although not necessarily for “free”.

Note: Subfield $f has not been implemented in systems as of May 2007; it will be used when it is available. In the meantime, use subfield $a.

¨ 538 (System Details Note) Describes technical details about the electronic resource. A URI may be included for more detailed information. Use of the 538 for born digital objects may only be applicable for migration activities, unless there are other pertinent technical details to record. Example:

538 $a Master and use copy.

583 1 $h [name of archiving institution] $l committed to preserve $2 pda $5 [your MARC organization code]

583 1 $z NLM permanence rating: $l Permanent: Dynamic Content $5 DNLM

Note: 583 is a repeatable field.

¨ 856 (Electronic Location and Access) -- A persistent link to the master and/or use copy. Example:

856 40 $3 use copy $z Full text, Acrobat Reader required $u http://validurl.htm

s 1^st 4 = http (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

s 2^nd 0 = Resource (for the same source as described)

Note: Fields 533 and 534 would not be used for a born digital object unless the object was transformed digitally from one electronic form to another.

8.4 Reformatted digital object

You have reformatted previously digitized materials from another source or from a born digital object. You now need to create metadata for the reformatted materials and add Registry minimum requirements.

¨ 007/00 c ($a c) (Category of material) – code for electronic resource

¨ 007/11 ($j) (Antecedent/Source) – source of the file; dependent on the project and/or the object

¨ 007/13 p ($l p) (Reformatting Quality) – code for the preservation copy

¨ 007/13 a ($l a) (Reformatting Quality) – code for the access copy

Examples:

007 $a c $j c $l p

007 $a c $j c $l a

007 $a c $j a $l a

¨ 042 (Authentication Code) – code for dlr; this field may be added or edited by Full or higher authorizations.

042 $a dlr

506 $3 Master copy $a preservation copy $f No online access $2 star

506 $3 Use copy $f Preview only $2 star $u http://conditionalurl.htm

Note: The master copy need not be available; however, a use copy could be accessible, although not necessarily for “free”.

Note: Subfield $f has not been implemented in systems as of May 2007; it will be used when it is available. In the meantime, use subfield $a.

¨ 533 (Reproduction Note) Need to provide agency responsible for the reproduction which may be different from preservation institution. Holdings information may be recorded here. Example:

533 $a Electronic reproduction. $b [Chicago] : $b University of Chicago, $c [2007] $5 ICU

583 1 $a Transformed digitally $c 20071201 $h [name of archiving institution] $l committed to preserve $2 pda $5 [your MARC organization code]

¨ 856 (Electronic Location and Access) – A persistent link to the master and/or use copy. Example:

856 40 $3 use copy $z Full text, Acrobat Reader required $u http://validurl.htm

s 1^st 4 = http (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

s 2^nd 0 = Resource (for the same source as described)

9 Sample Records

Records in this section are produced as sample purposes only. They are not actual records; they may have been derived from pre-AACR2 print versions or a variety of local systems. Not all fields may be consistent with current coding or other standards. Registry fields are compatible with guideline practice at the time of the version release. Note: | = $.

To incorporate the University of Virginia's student body in this information revolution, an electronic publishing system was developed here for use by fourth year engineering students for their theses. After the pilot project was completed and successful, it was important that the system be modified for increased utility, both for the students and the library. This new system must eliminate many of the sources for user error and quicken the incorporation of theses into the library's computer system. This project's focus is to achieve these goals for use by the engineering class of 1998."

10 Development Road Map

Future Development

MARC 21 Field/Subfield or Use of Elements

Notes

Precise Holdings

MARC 21 Format for Holdings Data

OCLC will investigate the use of holdings records to record detailed holdings. Currently, the 852 field is not retained in the master record and is considered local data.

Batch processing

583 Action Note (R)

856-40 Electronic Location and Access (R)

Availability and flexibility of batch input and output.

In the future, with further investigation, if the digitization does not occur within a specified date range, OCLC may modify automatically and/or batch the “Intent to digitize” statements in field 583, or remove such statements if the intent date has passed and a related 856 field with indicators 40 exists.

APPENDIX A – Registry Elements

This table is a summary of MARC 21 elements to be used to satisfy Registry elements[10].

MARC 21 Field	Subfield or Use of Elements	Notes[11]
		Follow standard practices when creating new bibliographic records or modifying existing records, depending on the system/utility used.
007 Electronic Resource (R)	/00 Category of material	When field 007/00 contains code c, it contains special coded information about the physical characteristics of an electronic resource.
	c – Electronic resource	Indicates that the category of material to which the item belongs is electronic resource (e.g., programs, data files, image files, digitized audio and video tapes, etc.), which usually consists of digitized machine-readable data, program code, etc. intended to be accessed, processed, or executed by a computer.
	/11 Antecedent/Source	Gives information about the source of a digital file important to the creation, use and management of digitally reformatted materials.
	a – File reproduced from original	Indicates that the content … has been created by digitization of the original item.
	b – File reproduced from microform	Indicates that the content … has been created by scanning from microform.
	c – File reproduced from electronic resource	Indicates that the electronic resource has been created or copied from an existing electronic resource (e.g., to generate new copies or derivative copies …)
	d – File reproduced from an intermediate (not microform)	Indicates that the content … has been created by reformatting/digitizing from an intermediate other than microform.
	m – Mixed	Indicates that the images … have been created from mixed sources (portions scanned from original item, portions scanned from microfilm, etc.).
	n – Not applicable	Indicates that antecedent or source are not applicable to this electronic resource.
	u – Unknown	Indicates that the antecedent or source of this reformatted electronic resource is not known.
	/13 Reformatting Quality	In the context of the Registry, the following 007/13 codes may be used to identify access or preservation elements in conjunction with fields 533, 583, and/or 856.
007 Electronic Resource (R) (cont.)	a – Access	Indicates the electronic resource is of a quality that will support current, electronic access to the original item (reference use), but is not sufficient to serve as a preservation copy. Used for the “Use” copy.
007 Electronic Resource (R) (cont.)	p – Preservation	Indicates the electronic resource was created via reformatting to help preserve the original item. The capture and storage techniques associated with preservation files ensure high-quality, long-term electronic resources that warrant long-term protection. Used for the “Master” copy.
042 Authentication Code (NR)	$a - Authentication code	$a dlr – Registry of Digital Masters. [12]
506 Restrictions on Access (R)		Use field 506[13] for terms and conditions for restrictions imposed on access to the described materials. Alternatively, an additional 856 field may be used to indicate the URL/URN which provides a direct link between bibliographic records and addressable electronic files containing current information concerning restrictions imposed on access, use and/or reproduction of materials described in the records.
	1^st indicator # - No information provided 0 - No restrictions 1 - Restrictions apply	1^st indicator # - Indicates that no information is provided about whether the note states that materials are restricted or unrestricted 0 - Indicates that the field affirms an absence of access restrictions. 1 - Indicates that the field defines access restrictions to some or all of the material described.
	$a Terms governing access (NR)	Identifies legal, physical, or procedural restrictions imposed on individuals wishing to see the described materials.
	$f Standardized terminology for access restrictions (R) NOTE: Use of this subfield while approved by MARBI has not yet officially been announced or implemented by the Library of Congress.	Contains data from a standardized list of terms indicating the level or type of restriction. Recommendation: use $f whether or not there are any restrictions. A list of terminology, Standardized Terminology for Access Restriction, is available at http://purl.oclc.org/NET/506Vocabulary, such as Online access with authorization.
	$u Uniform Resource Identifier (R)	Contains the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), for example a URL or URN, which provides electronic access data in a standard syntax.
506 Restrictions on Access (R) (cont.)	$2 Source of term (NR) NOTE: Use of this subfield while approved by MARBI has not yet officially been announced or implemented by the Library of Congress.	$2 star Contains a MARC code that identifies the source of the term used to record the restriction in subfield $f. The source of the MARC code is MARC Code List for Relators, Sources, Description Conventions. If different sources are recorded, separate fields should be used.
506 Restrictions on Access (R) (cont.)	$3 Materials specified (NR)	Contains information that indicates the part of the described materials to which the field applies. Contains a note relating to the electronic location of the source identified in the field. Indicate whether master and/or use copy.
533 Reproduction Note (R)		Contains information that describes an item that is a reproduction of original material. The original item is described in the main portion of the bibliographic record and data relevant to the reproduction are given as a note in field 533 when they differ from the information describing the original.

APPENDIX B – Workflows

Library of Congress: use of existing single record.

LC has contributed to the Registry with some American Memory collections of digitized. These records will be single records that describe both the original and the digitized versions.

LC workflow for Registry contributions

LC will use the official distributed MARC records from the ILS (i.e. the cataloging for the original) and add fields for the Registry as follows. Note that these records already have 856 links to the digital and have served as both a record for the original and the digital.

Select records by collection using local field

Add extended 007 with the following:

007/11 (Antecedent/source) by collection as appropriate, e.g. from original (optional for Registry)

007/13 = p (preservation)

Add 042 = dlr

Add 506 = $a [add access conditions as appropriate for collection]

Note that 506 $f will be used with $2=star in the future with controlled text when this subfield is available.

Add 533 $a Also available as electronic reproduction $b Washington, D.C. $c Library of Congress

Add 538 $a Master and use digital copies also available. $a with a link to a description of the digitization process by collection when these statements are available; these will moved to 538 $u once that subfield is defined in LC’s ILS.

Delete 530 (if applicable)

Add 583 $a digitized $c [date if available] $h Library of Congress $l committed to preserve $2 pda $5 DLC

The records will then go out in LC’s normal distribution.

The following is an example (not a complete record). What's in red [bold] gets added. This doesn't include the link to the description of the digitization process.

Cornell University Library scenario for contributing to the Registry of Digital Masters. September 20, 2005.

CUL has made its first contribution to the Registry with the digital collections Core historical literature of agriculture (CHLA) and Home economics archive: research, tradition, history (HEARTH). These gather together digitized versions of print resources. Each record describes the digitized version.

Basic procedure

1. Extracted records from the local catalog.

2. Using a script and a spec for batch processing, edited records for collection-level normalization and to bring them into compliance with Registry guidelines.

3. Manually edited records containing errors discovered after batch process.

4. Sent file of updated bibliographic records to OCLC.

5. Reloaded updated bibliographic records into local database.

Editing of the records (Step 2)

The fields required by the Registry for minimal compliance can, for the purposes of this project, be divided into the following groups:

1) fields altogether absent from the original records and which were subsequently added to them (042, 583);

2) fields absent from a relatively few original records and which were added manually (533);

2) fields that appeared in the original records but not in all the instances or uses required (007 for use copy, 538);

3) fields that appeared in the original records but not necessarily with Registry-approved values (007/11 and 007/13 for master copy)

4) fields that appeared in the original records and which required no changes whatever (856).

The Registry-specific part of the metadata for the completed records looks as follows.

007/11 = a [File reproduced from original] – preservation copy

007/11 = a [File reproduced from original] – use copy

007/13 = p [preservation] – preservation copy

007/13 = a [access] – use copy

042 |a dlr

506 |3 [Master and/or use copy] |f [access] |2 star

538 |a Master and use copy. Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002. |u http://purl.oclc.org/DLF/benchrepro0212

856 40|u http://resolver.library.cornell.edu/hoec/[digit string] (usually with subfield x and/or z)

007

The 007 for the preservation copy was found in a relatively few records to contain values that inaccurately or insufficiently described the digitized version. Some of these records also lacked the proper Registry value for 007/11 or 007/13.

One characteristically deficient 007 looked this way.

007	cr\|un######## (# = blank for Obsolete Code or Value not Set)

This and any similarly deficient 007 was normalized as follows.

007	cr_bn_001apabp

The additional 007 for the use copy looks as follows.

007	cr_bn_001apaba

533

The 533 presented here is the most generic. Subfield a is the sole constant. Subfield b may be repeated with a different value. Subfield c may appear basically as here but with greater detail - “Cornell University, A.R. Mann Library”. It may also be repeated with a different value. If the 533 was added belatedly, which on rare occasions it was, it may or may not have a subfield e.

583

The only optional subfields CUL is using for this project are $f and $5. $f contains CHLA or HEARTH, as appropriate.

Possible workflow for institutions that use single records for both original and digital: create special records for contribution that reflect only the digitized.

Environment: Some institutions may have a single record that covers both the original and the digitized with an 856 link for the digitized version. If an institution does not want to add the required fields to reflect the digital on the same record, it could follow this alternative approach. Portions of the record are extracted and fields added that are required by the Registry so that the record for the Registry reflects the digitized version only.

In contributing to the Registry, the record must be loaded into WorldCat, since that is the way that OCLC pulls these records. Thus, WorldCat will contain two records: the original record that covers both the analog and the digital and this “massaged” record created solely for contribution to the Registry.

Workflow:

1. Identify records in the local catalog for a category of material.

2. Export these as MARC.

3. Use a script in MARCEdit (already developed) to add/change/delete fields as noted below (MARCEdit is available free and must be on the computer used to be able to apply the script. The script may be supplied upon request).

Fields:

001. Change the control number if needed so that it isn’t identical to that of the original record.

003. Add 003 to identify whose control number it is.

005. Update to current date

007/11 (Antecedent/source): (if desirable and known) add a value depending on what the item was digitized from

007/13 = p (preservation)

008/23 = s (electronic)

042 = dlr (may add $a to an existing 042 in some cases)

245 Add $h [electronic resource] to follow $a np (usually just $a will be present)

506 = $f[appropriate access statement] $2star

533 = $aElectronic reproduction. $b [place] : $c [institution]

538 = $aMaster and use copy. $u[URL for description of digitization process if available]

583 = $adigitized $c[date if available] $h[institution name] $lcommitted to preserve $2pda $5[institution MARC organization code]

776 = $coriginal $w[control number of original]

856 = $3 $u (as appropriate); change 2^nd indicator from 1 to 0.

4. Strip the following: local variable fields, 035s from original record; existing 530s, existing 007s (would either be an electronic resource 007 that isn't as rich as the one we would provide for the Registry, or for the original manifestation).

5. Maintenance issue: There is the question of maintenance if the record for the original gets modified. The institution may need to keep track of what it has sent in this manner. That would involve working out a procedure for also updating the extracted record for the digitized item in these cases.
