Introduction
This is the UNBIS reference manual for bibliographic description for Ãå±±½ûµØand non-Ãå±±½ûµØmaterials.
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 Ãå±±½ûµØbodies or published by the Ãå±±½ûµØ
(items bearing Ãå±±½ûµØdocument symbol, Ãå±±½ûµØdocument masthead, or Ãå±±½ûµØpublisher statement),
the following cases are also treated as Ãå±±½ûµØmaterials for the purposes of bibliographic processing in UNBIS:
-
Documents and publications bearing a Ãå±±½ûµØjob number (even if no document
symbol is printed on the item and it lacks Ãå±±½ûµØmasthead).
- Materials co-published with the UN, on behalf of the UN, under Ãå±±½ûµØauspices or bearing Ãå±±½ûµØcopyright.
Documents and publications of Ãå±±½ûµØspecialized agencies are processed as non-Ãå±±½ûµØmaterials.
If the
presence of a Ãå±±½ûµØlogo on a publication is the only reference to the UN,
it may be a case of unauthorized use of the Ãå±±½ûµØlogo and judgement
should be used in processing the item as UN.
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.
