Summary: Instructions for cataloging government documents produced by international bodies & countries.International gov docs are given gov

General info

No stickers or stamps are needed for these materials, aside from the gov doc date stamps applied by Acquisitions before being routed into cataloging workflows. No additional stickers or stamps are needed. Materials . Received materials are generally routed as follows:

• Monographs → copy cataloging or cat sep shelves
• Serials → adds to CatMan (currently Lynn); new titles to a serials cataloger (Loretta Fiacco, Emily Sanford, or Joshua Barton)
• Hybrids → gov doc hybrid shelf

All international gov docs are now sent to Remote Storage (though a few exceptions may occur when pieces have a reference location). 

Monographs and serials treatment

• assign appropriate LC call number 
• use location rs
  • unless piece has a special reference location

Hybrids treatment

These are analyzed issues of serial titles, but the usual cross-linking between a main serial bib and monographic bibs for each issue is not performed. Essentially, just catalog like a monograph, but assign the call number as if the piece were a serial analytic. Instead, these issues are checked in to a suppressed bib (they do not have individual order records) and then assigned the same kind of call number as a serial analytic (with the caption in the bib call number).

Only old titles are treated this way. New titles are handled as cat seps.

• catalog serial issue as monograph
• include appropriate 490/830 with serial title reflecting transcribed/authorized heading for serial title
• assign serial call number
  • already written on the streamer
  • add caption numbering to call number in bib record
• use location rs
  • unless piece has a special reference location
• use the workstat for monographic materials
  • no overlay command used in 949 string
  • no caption in volume field; that is reflected in bib call number instead
• after export, edit bib location in Sierra to reflect rs instead of mn
