Hi Charles,

Frameworks are cataloguing "forms". You can use many different ones or just the default one.

The advantage of using different ones is that you can show different MARC fields and add default values.

For example, you can have one 'Book' framework, where you would show 020 (ISBN), and put the default rda material/support/media codes for printed material in 336, 337 and 338. And you can have a 'DVD' framework, where you would show 024 (CUP), but not 020 and put the default rda material/support/media codes for projected visual in 336, 337 and 338.

Hi, all!

     I have been looking for an answer to the following question, but I've
been unable to find one: What are the purpose and use of the frameworks?

     I just don't understand. When I cataloged in a previous library job, I
didn't have frameworks. I just cataloged what I needed and if I didn't need
something, I didn't use it.

     So can someone answer the question, please?

     Many thanks.
