  • Catalog electronic resources for the significant aspect of the content, rather than their physical form. Materials coded for Type of record as "m" are: computer software (including programs, games, fonts), numeric data, computer-oriented multimedia, and online systems or services. Other classes of electronic resources are coded for their most significant aspect (eg. language materials, graphic, cartographic material, sound, music, moving image). In case of doubt or if the most significant aspect cannot be determined, consider the item a computer file. For serials follow CONSER guidelines. See also: http://webapp.und.edu/dept/library/Departments/abc/eserial.htm
  • Standards vary for cataloging electronic resources - CONSER, GPO, Provider-Neutral, RDA, LC, etc. Fields and data necessary to create format displays or facets, categorize materials, provide statistical data or reports in the library's online system will be utilized even if one of the standards does not require them.
  • See Cataloging Procedures

    • Provider-Neutral standard fields indicated in commonly used fields (not all) in the table below with eBooks and Web sites. See P-N guidelines Provider-Neutral guidelines
