What will be the coding of LC’s serial records as of June 1, 2006?
The coding of LC’s bibliographic records for serials not in series remains unchanged. The coding in Ldr/17 (Encoding level) will not change, i.e., it will continue to be appropriate to the level of the cataloging. The code “lc” in field 042 will be used in LC original records to reflect the authoritativeness of headings. The 042 field will be retained in records authenticated by a CONSER participant when those records are used by LC; if “lcd” or “msc” is not already present, the appropriate code will be added. The code “lccopycat” in field 042 will be used in LC records based on OCLC member copy.
