Introduction
This is the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµBIS reference manual for bibliographic description for Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and non-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ materials. The bibliographic treatment of these two types of material is different, therefore, it is important to distinguish between them.

In addition to documents and publications that are obviously issued by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ bodies or published by the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ (items bearing Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ document symbol, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ document masthead, or Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ publisher statement), the following cases are also treated as Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ materials for the purposes of bibliographic processing in Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµBIS:

  • Documents and publications bearing a Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ job number (even if no document symbol is printed on the item and it lacks Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ masthead).
  • Materials co-published with the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, on behalf of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, under Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ auspices or bearing Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ copyright. Documents and publications of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ specialized agencies are processed as non-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ materials.
If the presence of a Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ logo on a publication is the only reference to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, it may be a case of unauthorized use of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ logo and judgement should be used in processing the item as Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ.

The manual consists of:

  • the text of MARC21,
  • guidelines for indexing* and cataloguing and
  • lists of codes.

 

* Including elements of ITP (Index to Proceedings) of the General Assembly, Security Council and Economic and Social Council.
