In order to ensure that our automated processes can ingest and assign MARC records correctly, all records should have the following:

• 024: First Indicator must be '7'.

  • If the title has a DOI:

    • $a should contain the DOI (not the full DOI URL). This should match what’s in 856$u minus 'https://doi.org/'.

    • $2 should be ‘doi’.

  • If the title does not have a DOI:

    • $a should contain the Handle (not the full Handle URL). This should match what’s in 856$u minus 'https://hdl.handle.net/'.

    • $2 should be ‘hdl’.

The following are required by MARC/RDA and for indexing and discovery services (OCLC, EBSCO, ProQuest):

• 001: must not include the OCLC Control Number. The organization code 'MiU' or 'MIU' may be included.

• 006 (for titles with accompanying materials)

• 007

• 020: eISBNs should be in subfield $a; print ISBNs must be in subfield $z. For the formats in subfield $q, we recommend the following controlled vocabulary:

  • ebook

  • paper

  • hardcover

• 043: Include when geographic locations are part of the subject headings.

• 856 $u must contain the full URL as it appears under 'Citable Link' on the book's landing page on Fulcrum. Optionally, $z may include 'Electronic access restricted; authentication may be required:'. For multi-volume works, use separate 856 fields for each volume.

The following are requested both for considerations of quality and for consistency with cataloging practice among Fulcrum-hosted collections:

• 050: Library of Congress Call Number

• 082: Dewey Decimal Classification Number

• 655 \4$a: Include ‘Electronic books’.

• 776: Optional. $t with title should also be included. If print version is noted in the 588, there is no need for the $i.

Unless otherwise indicated, MARC records should be uploaded as individual files (in .xml or .mrc format), with a filename based on the ebook ISBN, e.g. 9781407355344.xml.
