Beiträge zur Tabakforschung international. (OCLC #8415862)

This CD-ROM was included with the April 1999 issue of this journal, with no more explanation than appears on its label (“CD-ROM, Version 1.0, March 1999.”) Is it the previous issue? A supplement? An ad?

We warily put the CD into a modern-ish computer (Windows 7) to investigate, and found (among other things) NFO files: likely Folio Infobase files, given the Folio logo on the disc.

Not having a reader for such files handy (the one provided on the disc would run, but not read any of the files), we looked at other issues for more clues. Near the beginning of the November 1998 was a note that they would be issuing a CD-ROM of abstracts and title references from 1961 to the present, and that it would be released by February 1999 (so close!).

So how to represent it in the bib/mfhd? As its own thing? As a supplement? (to which issue?) As an index? Is it worth keeping in the library collection if it won’t run on our typical computers? Was version 1.1 ever released? Can it be reformatted?

Serial inventory = good times.

The long road / Rod Smith ; series editors, Andy Hopkins and Jocelyn Potter. (OCLC #251337940)

This reader contains a CD-ROM with audio of the book and interactive activities, but it is primarily a book, so is cataloged as such; that is, the leader marks it as Type: a, BLvl: m and the 008 fixed fields are coded accordingly (“Books” workform in OCLC).

It also has aspects of a Computer File and a Sound Recording that we would have recorded in an 008 had those been the primary aspects, but instead we record them in 006 fields. This 006 for the Computer file aspect (m) marks File (008/26; 006/09) as interactive multimedia (i):

    006  m        i

This 006 for the Sound Recording aspect (i) marks audience (Audn) as juvenile, literary text (LTxt) as language instruction (j), and most others, like format of music (FMus), as not applicable (n):

    006  innnnj       j  n

That was in the copy, anyway, I changed it locally to remove the juvenile audience designator (that code is for interest level, not reading level) and added LTxt biography (b):

    006  innnn        bj n

Additional properties for the Electronic Resource aspect can be recorded in the 007:

    007  c ǂb o ǂd c ǂe g ǂf a ǂh m
  • ǂb o – optical disc
  • ǂd c – multicolored
  • ǂe g – 4 ¾ in. or 12 cm
  • ǂf a – sound
  • ǂh m – multiple file formats

A showcase of the Italian research in magmatic, metamorphic and applied petrology / under the patronage of the Gruppo Nazionale di Petrografia (GNP) and with the support of the 32nd International Geological Congress organizing committee. (OCLC #868312242)

It’s a book with a CD-ROM in the back.  Wait no; it’s a CD-ROM with an accompanying booklet! Also, a special issue of a journal. Actually, three special issues bound (burned) into a mega-special-issue! The 33Xs and 740s are many.
