Providing High Quality Cataloging of Library Materials and Excellent Customer Service at a Low Price
For the copy cataloging base price, we find a matching record, ensure that all existing access points are relevant, edit all non-filing indicators and any fill characters as necessary, correct any typographical errors, and ensure that the fixed field values correctly reflect the information in the body of the record. Authority work, adding or correcting ISBD punctuation, adding transliteration or vernacular, adding missing call numbers, adding missing subject headings, adding local fields/notes, adding missing added entries, and any steps not listed above are additional fees not included in the copy cataloging base price.
When upgrading a copy record to full level, there is no additional charge for authority work, adding or correcting ISBD punctuation, adding transliteration or vernacular, adding call numbers, adding subject headings, or adding any missing added entries; those actions are included in the price of upgrading to full level. In other words, when a copy record needs to be upgraded to full level, no matter the extent of work necessary, the charge would always simply be the upgrading charge listed below.
Original cataloging will be based upon OCLC's Bibliographic Formats and Standards and RDA. Original records will be full level (I-level minimum standards).
