Notes 8.8 Levels of Cataloguing

Following are the levels in Cataloguing:

8.8.1 Full Level Cataloguing

Full level cataloguing consists of an Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition, 1998
(AACR2) level 2 bibliographic record, with all needed access points, including full subject
analysis. Full level differs from BSR level chiefly in the number of access points and notes
provided. For full level cataloguing if a name used as an access point does not appear in the body
of the entry, a note must be added to justify the entry.
Access points on a full level record must be supported by a national level authority record, so
headings are contributed to NACO (Name Authority Cooperative Program) as needed.

Print

Full level cataloguing is provided for original cataloguing only for items specifically requested
at that level by the Reference Section or the History of Medicine Division.

Full level copy records are kept at full level.

Non-print

The Cataloguing Section provides full level cataloguing records for library productions and
other items by special request.
Full level copy records are kept at full level.

8.8.2 Core Level Cataloguing

Cataloguing consists of a bibliographic record containing at least the minimum set of data
elements prescribed by the Program for Cooperative Cataloguing Standard Record, augmented
with the following elements:
Fully coded Leader and 008.
Byte 39 Cataloguing source is coded blank.
Bibliographic history notes and bibliography/index notes are provided, although library
will no longer add pagination information to a 504 note.
A full complement of subject headings is provided.
Other elements deemed important for identification and access may be added at the
cataloguer’s discretion, but notes to justify access points are not required.
Essential access points on a library record are determined by cataloguer judgment and must be
supported by a national level authority record.
8.8.3 Limited Level Cataloguing

Limited cataloguing consists of an Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, revised 2nd edition,
1998 (AACR2) level 1 bibliographic record with, generally, two bibliographic access points.
A third access point is added for a parallel title when one is present in the item.
