General procedure:
When the library replaces a print book with a photocopy, whatever the source of the photocopy, the cataloger will follow standard procedures for cataloging a “photocopy on demand.” A new record will be created on OCLC and brought into Acorn. If we are not keeping the original, the record for the original will need attention. The original may need to be withdrawn or shadowed.
Practice:
In practice, we have handled photocopies several ways.
When the library creates a preservation photocopy for the purpose of having a second
copy that will circulate, we have added the preservation photocopy to the
original as a copy. A note is added to the bibliographic record to reflect this.
500 : : Copy 2 of this title is a local preservation photocopy.
When the library made a photocopy of a work we could not purchase, an original record was
created locally only.
The cataloging otherwise reflected that the work was a photocopy. In
the fixed field, the Form was r. The 533 note looked like this
