Catalog according to current rules and standards. Generally this means: assess the nature of the resource and select appropriate cataloging rules and 008 for that, then add fields appropriate to the electronic format.
For complete cataloging and tagging of electronic resources see Cataloging Web Sites: Chester Fritz Library Guidelines
In 2002 a change in PCC (CONSER) cataloging policy took place.
AACR2 2002 amendments, see: AACR2 2002 amendments Hirons-ALA02.doc
For discussion of "Option B plus" (one record for an online journal) proposal: http://www.loc.gov/acq/conser/optionbplusdec2002.html
In 2007 CONSER made changes to its standard record (formerly Access-level). The citations here cover 2007-2010. It is considered a base. Additional information and fields can be added as locally determined to be necessary.

Presentation, select ALA MW 2007: http://www.loc.gov/acq/conser
2007/2/15 - Change to policy: Chester Fritz will follow CONSER standards as a base level for serials. Local or �special� materials may receive an increased level of cataloging according to cataloging standards. Local practice for 022, 590, and 856 change; 776, 773 will continue.
In 2013 CONSER issued the CONSER Core RDA elements http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/conser/documents/CONSER-RDA-core-elements.doc
CONSER Standard indicated in commonly used fields in the table below with CONSER. It also applies to remaining two tables. NOTE: This has not been updated for RDA
| TAG | DESCRIPTION |
| 008 Form: | s - electronic "form" of a serial. CONSER: Conf Regl Freq are Optional; 008/22 required only for original microforms. NOTE: You will get an OCLC validation error by leaving these blank. |
| 006 | Additional material characteristics. Use on records with Type other than "m". Allows for search limiting by format. In OCLC, select Edit, then Field 006. CONSER: Only $a required |
| 007 | Physical description. Allows for search limiting by format. CONSER: Only $a and $b required |
| 022 | ISSN |
| 041 | Language of text CONSER: Only $a required. NOTE: Make notes in 546 about summaries, translations, etc. |
| 043 | Optional except, n-us-nd or n-us-mn |
| 050-090 | Call number. Classification serves as a topic identifier. Classification assigned to an electronic resource will display within a browse list of call numbers. Multiple classifications assigned to an item work to identify the topic of the resources. Where print and electronic titles are the same, the same call number will be used for both. Federal documents will be assigned SUDOC numbers when they can be readily identified. All other titles will be assigned LC classification. However, extraordinary effort should not be made to differentiate cutters since the call numbers are not used for shelving.
|
| 049 | UND7 |
| 1XX | Main Entry; 100-111 not common for journals. CONSER: If a title is distinctive, enter under title. If issued by a corporate body and the title consists solely of words indicating type or periodicity, enter under corporate body. |
| 130 | Uniform title. Conflict resolution 25.5B stipulates addition of qualifiers [See at bottom]. Practice has been to record the print version title of electronic journal qualified with "(Online)" CONSER: Not required to differentiate from another serial. NOTE: Create only for monographic series and generic titles entered under title (words indicating type or periodicity) i.e. NO Title (Online) CFL: Create 730 rather than 130 on records for online titles that are the same as the print title. |
| 240 | Uniform title. If a 1XX is present, may add (Online) CONSER: Do not create for translations or language editions. NOTE: Make added entry instead (730/740) GPO: Exception, create 775. |
| 245 | Title #h [electronic resource]. Based on earliest issue/iteration of the title. CONSER: 245 $b Other title information - Not required. NOTE: Option: transcribe if needed to clarify or support title proper. CONSER: 245 $b Parallel title, initialism/acronym - Not required. NOTE: Record instead in 246, with indicators 31 and 30 respectively. |
| 246 | Variant titles; source code title [no period] Online presentation may have additional titles. CONSER: Code all indicators 13. NOTE: Exceptions: Parallel title - 246 11. Minor titles changes - code 1 [blank] $i [note] $a [variant title] |
| 250 | Edition statement |
| 260 | Place : Publisher, date. 1.4 D4. Publisher name can no longer be abbreviated, e.g. "The Dept."; it must be transcribed as on the item. CONSER: 260 $a - Record only first place if readily available. If not readily available for online serials, supply [S.l.]. CONSER: 260 $c - Not required. Supply insted in 362 1 unformated note. |
| 300 | Physical description. GPO: Use only $a and $e. NOTE: GPO will add following GPO Abridged Cataloging Guidelines. Use 1 v. : $b digital, PDF file if an electronic document is a PDF document or 300 $a 1 electronic text : $b HTML file a document is an HTML document. |
| 310 | Frequency |
| 321 | Former frequency. CONSER: Not required. NOTE: If updating copy, follow established CONSER practice. |
| 362 0 | Enumeration/Chronology as published. Originally, if online differed from print, this represented the online. With expanding coverage on web sites, it was decided to match print enum/chron and use 362 1 "Pring began with ..." 12.3B1/C1 "...give it in the same terms, but not necessarily the same punctuation..." CONSER will use slash to represent two or more years of coverage; example: 1999/2000. 12.3 C4. Numeric/alphabetic and chronological designations : "... if the designation consists of a year and a number that is a division of the year, give the year before the number. Example: 97/1- or 1998-1- ; if the publication lacks chronology, record the enumeration year as chronology; example: 1997, 1 (Jan./Mar. 1997)- 12.3 D1.If the first issue is unnumbered but known, supply the designation in brackets; example: [no. 1 (2000)]- 12.3G. Changes in numbering. If a new sequence of numbering appears unaccompanied by words such as "new series", supply [new ser.] or equivalent. CONSER: Do not use NOTE: This is contrary to RDA. |
| 362 1 | For online version of print when online is not comprehensive.
|
| 4XX | Series. If the series changes during the life of the serial, use multiple 4XX/8XX's preceded by coverage dates, e.g. 1985-1999: CONSER: Supply only the authorized form of the series name in the bibliographic record, using the 8XX field. NOTE: If series authority records exist or are being established and/or updated in the national authority file, it is not required to transcribe a series statement or note. Record variant forms of the series title in authority record. Rather than repeated 4XX, use 500 note. If no series authority, transcribe series (490 0) so usage can be documented. GPO: Series treatment (440, 490, 830 MARC fields) - LSCM will continue to add series information to the CONSER Standard Records it creates for U.S. Government serials and will continue to establish and contribute series authorities to NACO. |
| 500 | General notes. CONSER: Always record: Sources of title; latest issue consulted, if applicable. NOTE: Transcribe designation as found (standard abbreviations not required) |
| 538 | System requirements: e.g. PC, sound card, etc. Mandatory for local access electronic resources. Use for remote when unusual equipment is needed. CONSER: 538 For direct access resources: NOTE: Only required: type of operating system, type of PC if necessary CONSER: 538 For remote access resources: NOTE: Only required if resources is accessed other than by World Wide Web. When using copy that includes outdated 538 information replace when new information is known, or delete. |
| 515 | Numbering peculiarities. CONSER: Optional. NOTE: Option: use to record changes in numbering, new series, etc. |
| 516 | Type of computer file or data note. Additional info to 256; ex: PDF, TIFF, etc. |
| 506 | Restrictions on access. Correlate with 856 #z

CFL: Exception, create 730 rather than 130 on records for online titles that are the same as the print title. OCLC definition: 730 is used to collocate records; use field 730 in AACR2 cataloging for serials uniform titles to differentiate items published under an identical title proper. CONSER allows for this local practice. |
| 76X-78X | Linking fields. CONSER: Record as usual. NOTE: Exception 773, 774, or 787 fields not required. CFL: Exception, use 773 for aggregated online journals and 773/774 for serials in archival collections. |
| 776 0 | Additional Physical Form entry. #t Title, #x ISSN, #w (OCoLC)nnnn Use indicator 0 for PALS display when we hold/have access to the title. CONSER default is 1. |
