Cataloging Blu-rays

My husband and I are having discussions about upgrades to our home entertainment center.  One upgrade we considered, and then went with, was adding a Blu-ray player. Since we are on a budget, we try to rent Blu-ray discs from our local library instead of purchasing them, which leads me to the discussion--cataloging Blu-rays to be accessible in the library online catalog. 

Like any other video recording, a bibliographic record for a Blu-ray disc will require an 007, 008, ISBN, call number, title, publication information, physical description, system requirement note, actors note, subject and genre headings, and added entries.  

• The 007 field will reflect unique nature of the Blu-ray disc.

• The GMD used in the 245 field is videorecording.  If you are part of a library consortium, additional information may be included.
• The 538 is used to indicate that only Blu-ray players can be used to play the disc.

           538 _ _ This Blue-Ray disc will not play in standard DVD players.


              OR

           538 _ _ Requires a Blu-ray player.

• It may be useful to include a 500 note with "Blu-ray" in it.  This will allow staff and customers to conduct a keyword search to retrieve all titles in the Blu-ray format.
