Indexing and display recommendations for linking fields (7XX) : a report to CPC.

Abstract

At the Cataloging Policy Committee meeting in November 2002, an overview was presented on the changes in the cataloging rules that would be implemented nationally on December 1, 2002. Examples of links that would be made for integrating resources were shown, and a discussion was held about access to the data included in linking fields. As a result of this discussion an ad hoc task group was set up to examine all of the linking fields and to consider whether current indexing practices should be changed for them. Impacts of any changes were to be considered not just on the new category of integrating resources, but on traditional materials such as serials and monographs as well.
