PCC Full-Level Bibliographic Standards
From the PCC perspective a Full-level bibliographic record potentially
contains more detail than a core-level record. The specification for
a Full-level record subsumes the data elements specified for PCC Core
records. A Full-level record, in general, reflects the following characteristics:
1) the description is based on the current versions of
the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed., at either the second or
third levels of description (rules 1.0D2 and 1.0D3 respectively), the Library
of Congress Rule Interpretations, the CONSER Editing Guide, the CONSER
Cataloging Manual, and the ALA-LC Romanization Tables;
2) access includes the following (all relevant descriptive
and subject access is in an authorized form supported by appropriate
authority work):
a) for monographs, classification parallels
the counterpart core standards (for books, printed/manuscript music,
and cartographic materials, classification based on one of the classification
schemes recognized by the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data; for
other materials, classification is not required); for serials, classification
is encouraged but is not required;
b) subject and/or form access based on one (or
a combination) of the subject heading systems, thesauri, or genre/form
lists recognized by the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data,
as appropriate; in general, such access is provided for all the
subject aspects constituting twenty per cent or more of the content;
c) added entries reflecting the full complement
of access called for by the cataloging rules; all added entries
are justified, either from the description itself or from notes;
3) the record is in machine-readable form and reflects
the structure and content designation of the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic
Data; it also reflects the content designation of the MARC 21 Format for
Authority Data where applicable as well as the conventions of the following
associated MARC 21 documentation:
MARC Code List for Countries
MARC Code List for Geographic Areas
MARC Code List for Languages
MARC Code Lists for Relators, Sources, Description Conventions
MARC 21 Specifications for Record Structure, Character Sets, and Exchange
Media
Unlike PCC Core, there is no conscious attempt to place limitations
either on description or access. Note that the application of the Full
record specification to a particular resource will not necessarily result
in a totally consistent and uniform set of data elements. The following
factors preclude the expectation of such uniform treatment from agency
to agency:
- the nature and character of a particular cataloging universe;
- cataloger's judgment;
- conditions that permit discretionary variations at the individual
agency level, e.g., various aspects of series treatment;
- the requirements of a particular bibliographic utility;
- the requirements of a particular agency.
