LC-PCC policy statements for Manifestation entity

LC/PCC practice: See the Metadata Guidance documentation: Manifestation elements.

LC/PCC practice: The PCC follows an interim approach to cataloging microform reproductions of print resources in the RDA environment. The general principle is to record descriptive elements for the print version, and give details of the microform reproductions, both those cloned from print version records and records created originally (i.e., no print record exists, or the cataloger chooses not to clone from the print record).

PCC practice: Use the "provider-neutral" approach described in the Metadata Guidance documents when cataloging Print on Demand (POD) reproductions and photocopies of textual materials, scores, and cartographic materials. This approach will result in a single PCC record that represents multiple POD reproductions and photocopies of the same original resource. Do not apply this technique to regular print publications, republications, reprints, facsimile reproductions, etc., or to microform reproductions. Use this technique only when the entire content of both the original resource and the reproduction is identical. Do not use it for a POD reproduction or photocopy of a book chapter or journal article. In case of doubt, do not apply this policy.

LC/PCC practice: See the Metadata Guidance documentation: Reproductions-Photocopies.

LC practice: Apply the application profile and policy statements of the Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) (DCRM(B)) for books published before 1801 and selected early 19th century resources instead of RDA only.
