Create Bibliographic Record {LACO-1}

This option allows for the creation of the bibliographic record, which is used for ordering of the item.  The bibliographic record can be created in this option and the order  then placed in {FPMO2-1}.  Alternatively the order can be placed in {FPMO-1} and the bibliographic record can be created as part of this process.

• This option allows for the input of the abbreviated bibliographic records that would normally be used for ordering purposes.  The option functions exactly like the “Prompted Cataloguing” option {LCAO-1}, but only the subfields, which were indicated as “Use at Order” under option {LCAC-4}, will be prompted for. 


• Normally only the basic subfields which are required on a printed order would be entered here.


• Since these records are often created when only very limited information is available, and because this is sometimes done by persons who are not familiar with authority control aspects, the prompts used under this option can be selected so that it would not be necessary to use any sub-field under authority control.  In this case, subject headings would normally only be added when the item is at hand; use of responsibility, and authority can be avoided by using the statement of responsiblity field for that purpose.  All records will be created with type “LIMBO”.


• In the case of periodicals it is useful to enter the “mnemonic” at this stage.   The mnemonic is a short name to be used when retrieving the record for the periodical.  The mnemonic can be entered in the second field in this option, named “Mnemonic”.
