GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS

■ CHARACTER POSITIONS

00 - Category of material

One-character alphabetic code that indicates the category of material to which the item belongs is projected graphic which is defined as a two-dimensional representation intended to be projected without motion by means of an optical device, for example, a filmstrip, slide, or transparency. A fill character (|) is not allowed in this position.

g - Projected graphic

01 - Specific material designation

Special class of projected graphic to which the item belongs, e.g., a slide.

c - Filmstrip cartridge

Item is a filmstrip which is encased in a cartridge and which has the ends joined to form a loop. A cartridge denotes a permanently encased single reel of film or tape that has the ends joined together to form a loop that provides playback without rewinding.

d - Filmslip

Item is a short filmstrip not in a roll.

f - Filmstrip, type unspecified

Item is a filmstrip other than a filmstrip cartridge, filmslip or filmstrip roll or is an unspecified type of filmstrip.

o - Filmstrip roll

Item is a filmstrip roll, a roll of film on which still images are recorded, presenting an integrated communication. It is intended for projection frame by frame.

s - Slide

Slides are transparent material on which there is a two-dimensional image, usually held in a mount, and designed for use in a projector or viewer.

Includes modern stereographs, e.g., Viewmaster reels.

t - Transparency

Transparencies are made of transparent material on which an image is recorded. They are designed for use with a projector or a light box. X-rays are included here.

u - Unspecified

Special material designation for the projected graphic is unspecified.

z - Other

None of the other codes is appropriate.

| - No attempt to code

02 - Undefined

Contains blank (#) or a fill character (|).

03 - Color

Color characteristics of a projected graphic.

a - One color

Image is printed or executed in a single color (i.e., monochromatic). In projected graphic materials, it is used only for transparency sets.

Does not include black.

b - Black-and-white

Image is printed or executed in black-and-white. Refers to monochrome photographic materials (including film) and videorecordings, or to overhead transparencies executed in black-and-white.

Does not include tinted, toned, or stained items.

c - Multicolored

Image is printed or executed in more than one color. The color is a result of a number of processes, either photographic or electronic, capable of reproducing a reasonable range of hues, or of original application of color materials, for example, paint. Code c is used for color photographic processes (motion pictures, filmstrips, transparencies, and slides), color videorecordings, or multicolored overhead transparencies.

h - Hand colored

Image, produced by a printing or photographic process, is hand colored. Code h is rarely used with commercial audiovisual materials since these are not typically issued with hand coloring.

m - Mixed

Work or collection is a combination of one color, black and white, colored, hand colored, and/or other images. Information for this data element is based on one of the following phrases: some col., some b&w, 25 gold toned, col. with b&w sequences, etc. which usually appears in other parts of the MARC record.

n - Not applicable

Item has no images. Used, for example, when the item in hand is sound track film intended to accompany visual images not actually present.

u - Unknown

Color characteristics of the projected graphic are not known.

z - Other

None of the other codes is appropriate.

Includes tinted, toned (e.g., sepia toned photographic items), or stained items.

| - No attempt to code

04 - Base of emulsion

Type of material for the base of the emulsion of a photonegative, filmstrip, slide, or transparency.

d - Glass

Primary support/base of the emulsion material is glass.

e - Synthetic

Primary support/base of the emulsion material is synthetic (e.g., plastics, vinyl, etc.). Most commercially issued overhead transparency sets have a synthetic primary support material, unless known to be otherwise.

j - Safety film

Primary support/base of the emulsion material is safety (i.e., not nitrate) film. For all commercially issued filmstrips and slide sets, assume that the base of the emulsion is safety film unless known to be otherwise.

k - Film base, other than safety film

Primary support/base of the emulsion material is not safety film.

m - Mixed collection

Primary support/base of the emulsion material varies for different items in a collection.

Typically this would be used for groups of projected graphics on various bases.

o - Paper

Primary base of the emulsion is any kind of cellulose-based paper.

u - Unknown

Primary support/base of the emulsion material for the projected graphic is not known.

z - Other

None of the other codes is appropriate.

| - No attempt to code

05 - Sound on medium or separate

Whether the sound is on or is separate from the projected graphic (i.e., on the accompanying material).

# - No sound (silent)

For filmstrips, slides, and transparencies, code # is used when there is no information about sound in subfield ‡b or ‡e of field 300. For kits containing any of the above items, the abbreviation si. or the fact that there is no statement pertaining to sound in field 500 (General Note) justifies use of code #.

a - Sound on medium

Sound is present and is on the item.

b - Sound separate from medium

Sound is on an accompanying item.

u - Unknown

Presence of sound on the item is not known.

| - No attempt to code

06 - Medium for sound

Specific medium used to carry the sound of an item (whether the sound is on the projected graphic or separate) and the type of sound playback required for the item.

Used in conjunction with the information coded in 007/05 (Sound on medium or separate) and 007/07 (Dimensions). Typically, the carriers of sound are: 1) optical and/or magnetic track on a film reel or encased in a cassette or cartridge; 2) audio or video tape which may be on a reel or encased in a cassette or cartridge; and 3) sound or video disc.

# - No sound (silent)

Sound is not present.

a - Optical sound track on motion picture film

Sound to accompany a projected graphic is carried on an optical track that is part of a film. In coding 16 and 35 mm. films, it is usually assumed that sound is carried on an optical track.

b - Magnetic sound track on motion picture film

Sound to accompany a projected graphic is carried on a magnetic track that is part of the film. 70 mm. motion picture films often include magnetic sound tracks.

c - Magnetic audio tape in cartridge

Sound to accompany an item is carried on a magnetic audio tape cartridge.

d - Sound disc

Sound to accompany an item is carried on a sound disc. This method of providing for sound is typically used with filmstrips. Sound discs include 7, 10, and 12 in. vinyl phonograph records (identified as analog sound discs in subfield $b of field 300) and 4 3/4 in. compact discs (identified as digital sound discs in subfield $b of field 300)

e - Magnetic audio tape on reel

Sound to accompany an item is carried on a reel of magnetic audio tape.

f - Magnetic audio tape in cassette

Sound to accompany an item is carried on a cassette of magnetic audio tape.

g - Optical and magnetic sound track on motion picture film

Sound to accompany a projected graphic is carried on both an optical and magnetic track.

h - Videotape

Sound to accompany an item is included as part of a videotape. Videotape is not ordinarily used to record only sound.

i - Videodisc

Sound to accompany an item is included as part of a videodisc. Videodiscs are not ordinarily used to record only sound. A distinction must be made between videodiscs (e.g., 12 in. laser-scan videodiscs that include video information) and compact discs that are used to record sound only (e.g., 4 3/4 in. audio compact discs). The technology to physically record video or audio information on digital disc systems is the same.

u - Unknown

Medium for sound is not known.

z - Other

None of the other codes is appropriate.

| - No attempt to code

07 - Dimensions

Width or dimensions of the projected graphic item.

Width is given for filmstrips. Height and width are given for slides and transparencies. Only the most common dimensions are indicated. For film and slides, only codes that exactly match the measurements of the item as given in the physical description should be used. If no code exactly matches, code z is used. For transparencies, the code that most closely approximates the dimensions as stated in the physical description is used. The dimensions for slides and transparencies include the size of the mount for the item.

a - Standard 8 mm. film width

Width of the film is standard 8 mm. Film termed Mauer 8 mm. is recorded as code a.

b - Super 8 mm./single 8 mm. film width

Width of the film is super 8 mm. Single 8 mm. film is a Japanese equivalent of super 8 mm. film.

c - 9.5 mm. film width

e - 28 mm. film width

f - 35 mm. film width

g - 70 mm. film width

j - 2x2 in. or 5x5 cm. slide

Dimensions of the slide in its mounting are either 2x2 in. or 5x5 cm.

k - 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. or 6x6 cm. slide

Dimensions of the slide in its mounting are either 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. or 6x6 cm.

s - 4x5 in. or 10x13 cm. transparency

t - 5x7 in. or 13x18 cm. transparency

v - 8x10 in. or 21x26 cm. transparency

w - 9x9 in. or 23x23 cm. transparency

y - 7x7 in. or 18x18 cm. transparency

u - Unknown

Dimensions are not known.

z - Other

None of the other codes is appropriate.

| - No attempt to code

08 - Secondary support material

Type of material of the mount of a slide or transparency for a projected graphic.

# - No secondary support

Filmstrips are always coded #.

c - Cardboard

Cardboard mount. Slides and transparencies cataloged from data sheets are assumed to have cardboard mounts unless otherwise known.

d - Glass

Glass mount that usually covers the film base but should not be the primary support for the film emulsion.

e - Synthetic

Secondary support material is synthetic (e.g. plastics, vinyl, etc.).

h - Metal

Metal is usually used to frame larger projected graphics which need better support.

j - Metal and glass

Metal portion is usually a frame that holds one or two pieces of glass to support the film base. Glass should not be the primary support for the film emulsion.

k - Synthetic and glass

Synthetic material, e.g., plastics, vinyl, etc., is usually used as a frame to hold one or two pieces of glass to support the film base. Glass should not be the primary support for the film emulsion.

m - Mixed collection
