Summary: Procedure gives specific instruction on the physical processing of Rovi materials and basic bibliographic and item record edits that need to be made.

Pre-processing

Sort Rovi materials between single and multiple pieces.
Interlibrary Services (ILS) will organize MELCAT and patron items in bins by date. Keeping them in order by date and keep MELCAT and patron requests separate.
Duplicating barcodes on pieces.
1. Barcode duplicator has to be in the MSU2 mode to print ROVI barcodes.
2. Duplicate barcodes for individual pieces. Multi discs need duplicate barcodes for the multiple pieces with the same call number add dash -001, -002, -003 ... one for each DVD sleeve or CD case. Place on pieces.
3. Scan the first barcode into Sierra to verify that the barcode scans correctly.
Supplies needed to physically process Rovi materials.
1. Pen, hub labels, date due slips, tape and scissors. There is one hub label guide if needed.
2. Ownership stickers and stamp. “LIBRARIES, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, EAST LANSING, MI 48824-1048”.

Bib record verification and updates

Log into Sierra catalog mode
Scan the barcode number to get to the record. For most pieces CD’s start with a “C” and DVD’s begin with a “D.” Example: D0124502,
1. If there is any conflict or appearance of an error in the bib record, it should be given to a supervisor or the appropriate cataloger.
Verify that the title and call number match.
1. Titles or call numbers that do not match are to be given to staff with a note which workflow the material is from (Patron, MelCat, UBorrow, or Special Proj.) and date.
Bib location should be "rv". Bib level should not be "n" suppressed.
Verify that the bib record 300 field matches the holdings 866 field.
1. Students, give pieces to staff when the 300 field has words such as "viewing copy" or "1(DVD)." Example: 300 (Viewing copy) 1 videodisc of 1 (DVD) :|bsd., col. ;|c4 3/4 in.
2. Watch for conflict between the number of pieces in the 300 vs the 099 call number.
  - Example: 300 1 audio disc ... and 099 4H6 C0191251 Music CD & CD-ROM ;
  - Should be: 300 1 audio disc... and 099 4H6 C0191251 Music CD-ROM
3. Watch for MSU copies that lack items listed in the bib 300 fields, give to staff or add a 590 note.
  1. 300 field has "1 videodisc (100 min.):|bsound, color;|c 4/34 in. +|e1 leaflet."
  2. Insert a 590 note "MSU copy 1 lacks the leaflet."
4. Adding supplements (+|e) to the end of the 300 field (Students give to trainer.):
  1. example: 300 2 videodiscs (300 min.) :|bsound, color ;|c4 3/4 in. +|e1 audio disc + 1 booklet + 1 poster.
  2. Dual DVD/CD or digital copies on 1 disc see ROVI material requiring special handling.
5. 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 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.
Notes.
1. Add bib notes for supplements (MP3 audio discs) insert this 500 note "Audio disc is in MP3 format." The 300 field also has +|e1 audio disc.
Holdings for multiple locations and discs.
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 gaps.
  1. 866 #0 disc1-disc 2, disc 5-disc 6
3. Multiples locations: [Note: the indicators for the 866 field should be blank (signified by # in the example below) and 0]
  - 866 #0 G.M. Kline Digital/Media: disc 1-disc 2.
  - 866 #0 ROVI: disc 1-disc 2 (Add this 866 if it is not already on in the record.).
4. Single ROVI locations with multiple discs: verify that the number of discs is in the 866.
5. Multiple pieces:
  - 866 #0 disc 1 VideoDVD-disc 2 Music CD
  - 866 #0 discs 1-2 Blu-ray Video-discs 3-4 VideoDVD
  - 866 #0 disc 1 VideoDVD-disc 2 Audio CD (audio is a spoken or voice recording)
  - 866 #0 discs 1-2 VideoDVD-disc 3 MP3 Audiodisc
  - 866 #0 disc 1- disc 2, discs 4-disc 5 (use a comma to show a gap in holdings)
  - 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.
DVD's pulled for projects that need catalogers attention, see the Rovi Special Handling section for DVD's needing catalogers attention for the appropriate staff note.

Item record processing and verification

The location will already be set at, rvcdr, rvdvd, or rvgam.
Copy 1 is the default, so most will be a copy 1. As long as the call number is different from the copy already on the record, add copies will always be a copy 1. It will be a c.2 only when there is more than one Rovi copy of the same call number.
ICODE2, change to “-“ dash from an “s” suppression or "b" Temp Suprs (as long as the item is not a reproduction (see ROVI Special Handling).
Verify that the IType is 7 (14 days)
Insert “f” Staff note (Use the F12 macro found on the student computers). Update the note each morning with the new date.
- CatMan Processing note: “Rovi Coll. – processed [date xx/xx/xx]"
- ROVI Unit Processing note: "Rovi Coll. – processed ROVI UNIT xx/xx/xx"
Verify vol. field for correct volume numbering.
- Volume field for multiple discs with one format, e.g., discs 1-2
- Volume field for multiple discs and formats, .e.g., disc 1 Blu-ray Video-disc 2 VideoDVD or disc 1 Music CD-disc 2 VideoDVD
Format designation at end of call number. For multiple format, use the format order from the 300 or 5XX fields.
Multi pieces with the duplicated barcodes with the added -001, -002, -003 ... one for each DVD sleeve or CD case.
- Modify the first item record barcode and call number with the dash -001.

- Create new item records for each additional piece adding the dash -002, -003, etc.
  - The barcode number, and the call number in both the bib and item record, should all match the corresponding -001, etc.
  - Each DVD sleeve or CD case will get a label -001, -002, -003, etc. to match the updated barcode.
- Add disc # to the MARC 505 contents note field on bib records that have more than one ROVI item on a record. This might be needed to match titles to disc numbers if replacing a missing item. e.g. .b72441562, b49274399
  - 505 |g[DVD disc 1] 25, episodes 143
  - 505 [CD 1]. Act one -- [CD 2]. Act two -- [CD 3]. Discussion / Martin Pearlman, director
Multiple pieces inside one box with or without a booklet. (see example, .b113978303)
- Duplicate the barcode on each piece (including the box, where the barcode is placed on the inside top center of box, not on outside cover), but do not add 001, 002, etc. on individual cases held in the box. Treat pieces as one item with the same barcode.
