Cataloging Facsimiles, Photocopies, and Reprints
Facsimile - A reproduction that has as its chief purpose to simulate the physical appearance of the original work as well as to provide an exact replica of the text – RDA 1.11
Fixed field: DtSt coded r with Date 1 facsimile date, Date 2 original date
Code the 007 with f in the |f subfield (for facsimile)
Call number – Keep the original call number -- Add a second date, which reflects the date of publication or distribution of the facsimile, as the final element of the call number.
Keep the original MAIN entry. Do not assign this to the person/body responsible for the reproduction.
If there was a title change, this will be the 245, the original title will be a 246

255 – enter reproduction information; use 77x for original data
264 – enter reproduction information; use 77x for original information

Add a subfield v to all 650s. Ex. 650 xx ……….. |v Facsimiles
^^^^^^^^^
Photocopy - a macroform photoreproduction produces directly on opaque material by radiant energy through contact or projection.
Describe the photocopy version, use 77x to describe relationship with original
500 -- note any date changes
A 533 field is still needed for print reproduction. Maps need a 533 for brown print or bluelines.
^^^^^^^^^
Reprint* - retained for the collections if a copy of the original is not in the collections or if the reprint contains significant difference from an original issue. In determining if a reprint has changes from an original issue, consider alternated in text or graphic design as well as the cartographic content.
Reprints also receive a second date on the call number like facsimiles. Details relating to the reprint go in the transcribed area. Details of the original go in the note area.
