Abstract

The definition of “kit” can be elusive. Catalogers need to decide whether or not to use “kit “in the MARC Leader when cataloging a group of items that circulate as one unit. Determining the material category affects the data used in other fields, such as the physical description fields. This presentation will consider the use of the term “kit”, share examples of kits and their MARC records, and demonstrate the creation of a MARC 21 record using visual materials as the format and kit as the type of record.
