In order to provide maximum access to CCS library materials, the Cataloging Committee requires the use of contents notes (field 505) in the following prescribed manner. The main purpose for adding contents notes is for search ability rather than for display. Therefore, title information is considered a priority. Original cataloging refers to inputting a new record into OCLC. Copy cataloging refers to editing an existing OCLC record for transfer into the SirsiDynix Unicorn system.


== Rules ==
Add and enhance '''contents notes''' whenever possible to improve patron access.

# Books (2.7B18)
*Short story collections by multiple authors
# Sound recording (6.7B18)

== Special considerations ==
;Contents notes are not required for the following:
Serial titles new to the CCS database that:
*Poetry
* Fall into category A or the exceptions to category B
*Speeches ''(EXCEPTION: Representative American Speeches)'' 
* Have fewer than 100 items per volume to list in a contents note
*Essays ''(EXCEPTION: Best American Essays)'' 
* Are published less often than quarterly
*Excerpts
should be cataloged as monographs with contents notes. Changed serial titles requiring new records in the CCS database are considered "new" titles. Imported records must comply with these guidelines.
*Complete works
*Myths
*Fake-books 
*Encyclopedic reference works
*Miscellaneous writings— quotations, letters, anecdotes
*Chapter headings


== Enhanced contents notes==
In order to give patrons title and author access to contents notes, catalogers are recommended but not required to use enhanced contents notes (505 field, second indicator 0).  In an enhanced contents note, titles go in &Dagger;t, statements of responsibility go in &Dagger;r, and everything else (volume numbers, sound recording track times, etc.) goes in &Dagger;g.


Some cataloger's judgement may be required to determine whether the contents are worth tagging in this way.  In general, short stories, plays, literary collections, fairy tales, songs, and the like should have enhanced contents notes; chapter headings should not.

== Procedures ==
Complete contents notes are required for works containing up to 100 titles, but are optional for works with more than 100 titles.
 
Contents note arrangement:
* Title is required. Other information is optional.
* Basic level contents note (2nd indicator blank) is required. Enhanced level contents note (2nd indicator 0) is recommended when it would provide useful access, but is not required.
 
Chief source of information:
* For ease of inputting in WorkFlows, take contents from the contents page if the titles listed there are the same as the titles from the actual parts.
