Holdings Statements for Bibliographic Items
Establishes rules, defines data elements, and sets forth display conventions to be used in preparaing standardized records of holdings for serial and non-serial bibliographic items in order to promote consistency in the recording, communication and exchange of such information by institutions. Holdings for bibliographic items can be prepared at four levels of specificity depending on the needs of the institutions. All formats of material are covered by the standard, and provisions are set out for both compressed and itemized holdings statements. The standard defines a basic structure for non-serial holdings statements consisting of six data areas (item identification, location, date-of-report status, extent-of-holdings, and local notes data areas) of which only the first two are mandatory.
