Cataloging White Papers
Use of Fixed Fields 006/007/008 and Leader Codes in CONSER Records
Overview Coding records correctly involves making a number of decisions. How one actually implements the decisions depends on the system being used for cataloging. For instance, on OCLC, the cataloger begins by deciding which workform to use: serials, books, computer file, etc. In order to select the appropriate workform, however, the cataloger must have decided what the primary characteristics are (leader/06 "type of record") and, in the case of language-based materials, whether the item being cataloged is a monograph or a serial (leader/07 "bibliographic level"). Thus, it is important to understand the various aspects of the fixed fields and how they interrelate in records.
