Spiral bound

NLA no longer adds "Spiral bound" or "Spiral binding" in 500.

In the Australian collection ideally we collect 3 copies:-

N hbk (LD copy)
N pbk (BO17)
NL hbk (BO17)

Publisher sends pbk copy for legal deposit:-

N hbk (BO17)
N pbk (LD copy)
NL pbk (BO17)

If the BO17 copies arrive before the LD copy they are both made NL
*NEWPublisher sends hbk & pbk for legal deposit:-

N hbk (LD copy)
N pbk (LD copy)
NL hbk (BO17)

However for books published by Australians or about Australia from overseas we buy both N & NL copies and we do not necessarily get an NL copy as a matter of course.

520

NLA does not add a 520 as a matter of course, neither does NLA remove 520s created by others.

Australian Purchased Monographs team has been asked to remove 520 if it is not objective.

NZ & A in Dewey 820's

We only use prefixes for New Zealand (NZ) and Australian (A) literature

‡b GENY ‡k YY NZ ‡h 823.2 ‡i L431au

New edition ?

Library of Congress Rule Interpretation. page 8 1.0 August 2002

Addition, deletion or change of an ISBN does not constitute a new edition by itself.

NLA

Change in ISBN constitutes a new edition.

Exceptions

Self published material which is continually updated on a computer and only published when need. When the NL copy arrives it is different in a minor way to the N copy but is still treated as the NL copy.

Serial x 3 = serial record

Treat 1st & 2nd issues of a serial as a mono.
When 3rd issue arrives give it to the serials section, who will then consider it for a serial record.
