Hello,
There should be a small icon to the right of the leader or control
fields (00X) that, if clicked, will help you fill out those fields. If
you click in the 005 field, normally it should be filled automatically
with the current date and time.
Also, if you click on the question mark, it should bring you to that
field's documentation on https://loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ If you're
not familiar with cataloging, I recommend reading up on the different
fields.
Lastly, although I really REALLY don't recommend this for the leader or
control fields 005 and 008, you can remove the mandatory flag by going
in the MARC frameworks (Administration > MARC bibliographic frameworks >
(find framework) > Actions > MARC structure > (find field) > Actions >
Edit tag / Edit subfields > uncheck Mandatory > Save)
I hope this helps,
Caroline

I am trying to make a trial run at cataloging, and it's turned up information
that I don't know how to populate.
The book I picked up is "The Bible and Holy Fathers for Orthodox", ISBNdb entry
athttps://isbndb.com/book/9780962253607. Most of the entries in the catalogue will be
books, with some periodicals and maybe coverage of relevant websites.
I clicked on the "Books..." entry under "New entry"; that gives me a form with
the following fields as required:
000 ? - LEADER
005 ? - DATE AND TIME OF LATEST TRANSACTION
008 ? - FIXED-LENGTH DATA ELEMENTS--GENERAL INFORMATION
040 ? - CATALOGING SOURCE > Transcribing agency
What should I be doing to fill at least these out? Does "Z39.50/SRU search" or "Link
authorities automatically" provide a way to populate from existing question?
Thank you for any orientation and advice.
Thanks,
Br. C.S. Hayward, author and apologist, and more importantly novice at St.
Demetrios Orthodox Monastery
