1. May BIBCO participants authenticate bibliographic records for electronic resources as "pcc" (042=pcc)?
Yes, bibliographic records for electronic resources may be authenticated as BIBCO Standard Records by BIBCO participants.
2. Where can I find documentation on the cataloging (including MARC 21 coding) of electronic resources?
BIBCO participants should consult RDA, the LC-PCC Policy Statements, the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data, and the BIBCO Standard Record (BSR) RDA Metadata Application Profile (Jan. 21, 2020) [PDF: 421 KB].
