Music Cataloging Procedures Home

This document tells how to set up constant data records used in music cataloging, in Connexion Client 2.40. For full documentation on constant data, see OCLC's Cataloging: Use Bibliographic Constant Data.

In $o, the data should be edited to be $o j + the your 3 initials, i.e. $ojnln

Always apply only the variable fields. (Not fixed fields or both.)

When you create a constant data record, it will require you to save it and name it. I recommend a short, easy-to-remember name like: CD; DVD, etc. If you will be only, or primarily, using one constant data record, you can set it as your default.

For books and scores, you may use the macro instead. The advantage of the macro is that it will grab the call # for you from the 090. Instructions for setting up the 949 macro for scores. The macro assumes you are cataloging a regular stacks score; be sure to edit it for closed stacks materials, miniature or oversized materials, etc.

Remember to use an 090 field for the call number for items with an LC number (scores and books), and an 099 call number field for those items with locally-assigned accession numbers (CDs, DVDs, and other media).

Full instructions on using the constant data given in CD & DVD Cataloging Procedures - Workflow Overview. Essentially, you need to add the relevant number, add any volume information in a subfield v,n and scan the barcode into subfield i. For more information on how 949 is used to create call number/item records on import, see the Symphony Workflows help documentation available from within Workflows.
