Format Guidance: Print Reproductions and Photocopies

For print-on-demand reproductions and photocopies that meet the PCC criteria outlined in LC-PCC PS for the Manifestation entity and in the Metadata Guidance Document MG: Reproductions-Photocopies, apply the instructions in the LC-PCC MGD.

However, note that this policy excludes regular print publications, republications, reprints, and facsimile reproductions, and that by a strict reading it is limited to reproductions of previously published print manifestations. Resources that have only ever been made available as print-on-demand publications are treated separately below.

Original Print-on-Demand Publications

Some publishers make scores available for purchase exclusively as print-on-demand material, either as one division or imprint of the publisher or as a sole business model. These publications do not fit the criteria of print-on-demand reproductions as set out in LC-PCC documentation, but present many of the same challenges and questions for cataloging. Guidance for these types of publications will be included at a later date.
