Cataloging DVDs


I've mentioned OLAC's guidelines for cataloging DVD'd in the past. Guide to Cataloging DVDs Using AACR2r Chapters 7 and 9 created by the DVD Cataloging Task Force, Cataloging Policy Committee, Online Audiovisual Catalogers, Inc. I just found a nice short guide, DVD Cataloging : MARC Fielding Quick Reference at Brown University. Worth a bookmark if you only get an occasional DVD across your workspace and could use a quick refresher.

N.B. As the comment by Glen points out, coding for 007 has changed since this quick guide was posted. That can be a problem with any documentation, it can be correct when written, but no longer current. Use with caution. Thanks Glen.
