LC-PCC policy statements for note on issue or part or iteration used as basis for identification of manifestation

LC/PCC Core.

LC/PCC practice: Always give this note in a CONSER Standard Record, in records for online resources, and, when applicable, in records for multipart monographs. In a CONSER Standard Record, give separate notes for the earliest and the latest issue or part consulted. Use "Description based on:" to introduce the note relating to the earliest issue consulted, even if the first issue is in hand. Use "Latest issue consulted:" to introduce the note relating to the latest issue consulted, even if the last issue is in hand. For rare serials, transcribe the numbering for the issue, part, or iteration used as the basis for identification in the same order as in the numbering area, and with the appropriate prescribed punctuation (see DCRM(S) 7B21.1, 7B21.2).

When cataloging an issue or part that is earlier than the issue/part listed in the note but not the first issue/part (e.g., description based on volume 3 and volume 2 is now being cataloged), compare the bibliographic data elements on that issue/part to the description in the record. If there is a difference, modify the description as needed, give notes and access points as needed for information from the later issue/part, and change the information in the note.
