The Great Courses are audio and video recordings of college lectures, and should be cataloged according to the specific format, with the following considerations.

  • Search for the set by more than the ISBN, as the publisher sometimes reuses them.
  • Use the bibliographic record for the entire set instead of records for individual parts.
  • The same title may have been issued various ways: with individual course guidebooks for each part in the set, with one course guidebook for the entire set, and with the course guidebook(s) and a course transcript. If the accompanying content is the same, but the number of volumes in which it is issued differs, then the accompanying material is not sufficient reason to create or import a new record. See When to create a new record. Qualify the 020 and add a 500 note for your particular variation to the record in the CCS database. (Sample record: #368249376.)
  • Add the appropriate authorized Great courses series tracings for that format.
