'''GMD Standardization'''
MARS 2.0 Update also updates obsolete General Material Designations (GMDs) to the current authorized form, and corrects most incorrectly spelled GMD variants.

==Step 2.9 Question==
[[Image:2-9.png]]<br><br>
The full MARS 2.0 Update process ([http://ac.bslw.com/community/wiki/index.php5/Profile_Guide_Step_2.1 Step 2.1]) uses the AACR2 Standard Terms Table (Level 1) and adds square brackets. Please indicate which GMD table you would like to use and your preferred bracket practice by filling out Step 2.9 section ‘a’ and ‘b’.

===GMD Location===
MARS 2.0 Update will examine GMDs in the first subfield $h (Medium) in each 245 Title Statement. The processing assumes it has reached the end of the 245 $h subfield when it encounters one of the following characters: subfield delimiter, end-of-field delimiter, forward slash, back slash, colon, semicolon, equal sign, and period.

MARS 2.0 Update will also move the subfield $h if it is not in the correct location within the 245 field. The 245 $h subfield will be moved:
*Before a subfield $b
*After a subfield $n or $p in headings with a subfield $b
*Before a subfield $c in headings without a $b, $n or $p

'''Examples'''
245 14 $aThe royal gazette /$cNew Brunswick$hmicroform.
245 04 $aThe Green bag :$ba useless but entertaining magazine for
lawyers$h[microform].
245 00 $aDaily report.$h[microform]$pPeople’s Republic of China /$cFBIS.

'''changes to''':
245 14 $aThe royal gazette$h[microform] /$cNew Brunswick.
245 04 $aThe Green bag$h[microform] :$ba useless but entertaining magazine for
lawyers.
245 00 $aDaily report.$pPeople’s Republic of China$h[microform] /$cFBIS.

==AACR2 Standard Terms (Level 1)==
In the AACR2 Standard Terms option (GMD Level 1), MARS 2.0 processing will convert as many GMDs as possible to the terms authorized in the current edition of AACR2. For example, both '''$h[computer file]''' and '''$h[computer fillle]''' would be modified to '''$h[electronic resource]'''. Most libraries will want to select this level of GMD processing.

==Common Practice Terms (Level 2)==
In their local catalog, some libraries use GMDs which are not included in the AACR2 list of authorized GMDs (AACR2 paragraph 1.1C). The MARS 2.0 Level 2 GMD list contains ‘common’ terms used in many libraries.

For example, using the Level 2 Common Practice Terms table, the GMD '''$h[audicassette]''' would be corrected to '''$h[audiocassette]''', while in the AACR2 Standard Terms option (Level 1) '''$h[audicassette]''' would be corrected to the standard AACR2 GMD '''$h[sound recording]'''.

Obsolete terms (i.e., terms that were once authorized by AACR2 and have been replaced by a different term) are normally updated to the replacement term even in Level 2. For example, '''$h[computer file]''' is replaced by the newer term '''$h[electronic resource]'''.

==Custom Terms==
You can easily modify either of the GMD term options available in MARS 2.0. For example, if you would like to standardize all your GMDs to the AACR2 Standard Terms, but retain the non-standard terms “microfiche” and “microfilm”, simply notate it in Step 2.10 under Additional Information.

==Unrecognized Terms==
If the MARS 2.0 GMD tables do not contain a particular GMD variant, that GMD will be included in the Unrecognized MGD Report (See Step 5.2, Report 51). A copy of the Report of Unrecognized GMDs can be requested on MARS [http://ac.bslw.com/community/wiki/index.php5/Profile_Guide_Chapter_5#MARS_2.0_Bib_Reports_List Step 5.2].

==Brackets==
MARS 2.0 programs can also add square brackets around the GMD if not present. Similarly, if the GMD is enclosed in parentheses, angle brackets, etc. MARS programs change them to square brackets. MARS 2.0 can also remove brackets from GMDs to support systems in which the brackets cause display problems.

'''Examples'''
245 14 $aThe royal gazette$hmicroform /$cNew Brunswick.
245 10 $aPride and prejudice$h(vidrecording) /$cMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
'''changes to''':
245 14 $aThe royal gazette$h[microform] /$cNew Brunswick.
245 10 $aPride and prejudice$h[videorecording] /$cMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

The MARS 2.0 staff recommends adding square brackets to the 245 $h subfield. Even if your present local system generates the necessary square brackets, it is likely a future system will require them in the record.

'''Note''': Brackets around GMDs can only be added or removed if GMDs are being standardized. If GMDs are not being standardized, no changes will occur in the 245 $h subfields.

==Summary==
