Home → Cataloging in NC Cardinal → Appendices → Appendix C: 007 Tag
Last Updated 10/06/2023
The 007 fields should always be included in records for electronic media (i.e. DVDs, e-books). Most electronic resources will only have one 007. However, Playaways have two, one for the Electronic resource and one for the Sound recording. Bib records with both a DVD and a Blu-Ray that circulate together (see Different Format/Material Types) should also have two 007 tags — one for each.
Below, you will find a copy-and-paste-able 007 for each material type. Explanations of each position in the field are provided. Letters in bold type face should be checked, as they can change from resource to resource.
*NOTE: BOLD positions have variable answers depending on your item

The MARC 007 Field Physical Characteristics Wizard enables catalogers to interact with a database wizard that leads the user step-by-step through the MARC 007 field positions. The wizard displays the significance of the current position and provides dropdown lists of possible values for the various components of the MARC 007 field in a more user-friendly way.
|
NOTE: If the user edits an existing 007 field that does not already account for the skipped positions, then Evergreen will not automatically generate where the skipped positions should be in the 007 field. It is recommended that users delete the existing 007 field and start with a new 007 field, to ensure that Evergreen appropriately accounts for the obsolete positions for the Category of Material selected. |
