Collection-specific Titles (973)

UCSD cataloging policy is to enter collection-specific uniform titles in local field 973 of the bibliographic record, except in the case of UCSD MSS, UCSD RSS, UCSD SAC, and UCSD SMC access points, when the 730 is acceptable for use in the master record.

The uniform title should complement the item location code assigned to the piece being cataloged (e.g., any bibliographic record that has an attached item record coded "cpq" will include "973 0_ American Institute of Wine & Food Culinary Collection"). When SC&A owns copies in more than one collection, the bibliographic record must include a 973 for each collection (e.g., when an item appears both in our Hill and our Goodman collections, the bibliographic record contains two 973 fields: 973 0_ Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages; 973 0_ Jessie H. and John B. Goodman Collection).

Likewise, when an item contains multiple facets reflecting material format and collection affinity (e.g, a manuscript item in the Archive for New Poetry), the bibliographic record will also contain more than one 973 field: 973 0_ UCSD Manuscripts; 973 0_ Archive for New Poetry.

Collection-specific uniform titles are established locally. Aside from UCSD MSS and UCSD RSS headings, be careful not to include them in OCLC records during the process of enhancing OCLC records or when creating original inputs. When adding 973s to records in Alma be sure to designate the fields as a local extension.

The following collection-specific uniform titles have been established. Consult "Collection-Specific Cataloging Procedures" for related instructions in cataloging items in particular collections.
