Search for matching records

Search for the records by the ISBN number on the case or search by title. You can also search by the ROVI barcode number if it is available.
1. NOTE: If the title does not match exactly, give to a staff person with a yellow post-it note that says, “New ROVI [date.initials]” Briefly describe the problem.
Titles found in Sierra:
1. Verify that the title matches, including the subtitle (245 |b), author, 300 description, year, edition, and format (BluRay,DVD,CD, etc).
2. Call number should start with NULL.
3. One of the ISBN numbers should match.
4. Dates in the 008 fixed fields and 260/264 fields. Some DVDs have multiple dates (copy write, reprint, and originally released date).
5. NOTE: Records without a 300 field are given to staff.
Vetting items for material that may not be appropriate to loan. Catalogers will catch most of these.
1. Students are to give any DVDs that indicate that it contains nudity or lewd language to staff.
2. Staff, refer to the ROVI material requiring special handling procedure for pieces pulled out .
Place the "RV" barcode on the case. The "RV" barcode acts as the call number and barcode on all Rovi.
1. DVD: Place the “RV” barcode on the outside front cover, top left of the case. The barcode acts as the call number and barcode.
  1. Do not place barcodes on box covers. Box covers and other loose materials (ephemera) are placed into envelopes, which are then stored in banker boxes. [This part of the process is handled at the end of the procedure.]
2. CD: Place the barcode at the top left of the CD jewel case (hard case).
Ephemera:
1. Place box covers and other loose materials (including ads) into envelopes, which are later stored in banker boxes.
2. The envelope stays with the ROVI media until all of the media in the box is processed.
3. Duplicate the "RV" barcode, placing it on the top center of the envelope.
  1. Do NOT place the DVD and envelope back in the box until the envelope has a duplicate barcode on it.

Bib record updates

Bib location rv.
Change Bib suppression code:
1. Single location bib records change suppression to “v“ (ROVI Local), from “n” suppressed.
2. Multi location records change the suppression from "n" suppressed to "-" dash.
3. See below for item record instructions changing the suppression to a "v" in both single and multi location records.
The bib 035 should have the original ROVI barcode, e.g., y 035 (ROVIC)D0163881
Bib record 300 field checks.

Note: Students should give all Marc field 300 problems to staff.
1. Check that the bib record 300 field matches the holdings 866 field (if there is an 866 field).
2. If the 300 field has "Viewing copy" or "1 (DVD)", give to a staff person.
  - e.g. 300 (Viewing copy) 1 videodisc of 1 (DVD) :|bsd., col. ;|c4 3/4 in.
  - Staff will remove "(Viewing copy)" and "1 (DVD)". e.g. 300 1 videodisc :|bsd., col. ;|c4 3/4 in.
3. Watch for conflict between the number of pieces in the 300 vs the 099 call number.
  - Example of records that contain one piece, not two pieces:
    - 300 1 audio disc ... 099 4H6 C0191251 Music CD & CD-ROM
4. If there is no leaflet and the record contains a leaflet note in the 300 |e field, remove the note.
  1. Example: “1 videodisc (100 min.):|bsound, color;|c4 3/4 in.+|e1 leaflet.”
  2. Also, insert a bib 590 note: “MSU copy 1 lacks the leaflet."
Multi disc packs that lack the disc number on the pieces:
1. To match the physical piece to a disc number, look at the bib record (505) contents notes, and/or the content information on the the back of the physical piece.
2. Write the disc number on a yellow post-it and affix to each disc. Cataloging may change the record, so wait until processing (below) to write the disc number on the pieces.
Insert the bib Rovi Call number or update existing "c" tag call number.
1. Click the insert icon (or Ctrl "i")
2. In the "c" tag call number field type 099 over the default 090 or 050 field. You may have to backspace to get back to the 090 or 050.
  - > hit space twice to blank out the two indicator spaces after 099.
3. In the text box, type or scan the “RV” barcode.
4. Add the format designations (Blu-ray Video & VideoDVD) at the end of the call number.
  1. Examples:
    - c 099 RV001010102 Blu-ray Video
    - c 099 RV001010214 VideoDVD
    - c 099 RV001020310 VideoDVD & Music CD
    - c 099 RV001020102 Blu-ray Video & VideoDVD
    - Farther into the procedure you will insert or scan the same “RV” barcode into the item record 099 call number and barcode field.
5. Multiple discs per case need a volume/format label placed under the “RV” barcode (disc#s and format), Bib record call number e.g. RV001010219 disc 1 Blue-Ray Video disc 2 VideoDVD
6. Dual DVD/CD, Blu-ray, 4D, 3D or 2D, and digital copy on 1 disc. See ROVI Processing for special handling.
7. Digital copies on 1 disc see ROVI material requiring special handling.
8. All Rovi bib records have a series field.
  1. Rovi Media Collection.|pMovies.|5MiEM
  2. Rovi Media Collection.|pMusic.|pVinyl.|5MiEM
9. Holdings: Insert "h" (866) holdings formatting. (Records will be received without 866 fields, so CatMan is responsible for creating the 866 fields for all multi vols.)
  1. [Note: The two indicators for the 866 fields should be blank (hit space), zero (Blank is signified by # in the example below).
  2. When there are gaps in holdings place a comma between the gap:
    1. 866 #0 disc1-disc 2, disc 5-disc 6
  3. Multiples locations:
    1. 866 #0 G.M. Kline Digital/Media: disc 1-disc 2.

  4. Multiple pieces
    1. 866 #0 disc 1-2 VideoDVD
    2. 866 #0 disc 1-2 Blu-ray VideoDVD-disc 3-4 VideoDVD
    3. 866 #0 disc 1 VideoDVD-disc 2 Audio CD (audio is a spoken or voice recording)
  5. Booklets/Leaflets: When processing floating booklets held in quad cases, the only referenced to the booklet is in the "m" supervisor note. Do not add Booklet to the 866/868, or refer to the booklet in an item volume field.
