There are two kinds of DVDs and they are treated differently differently : Wellness Collection DVDs were purchased from the NASON fund and generally are about wellness, exercise, nutrition, etc. These should be identified by flags that say NASON. If the DVD is about wellness and there is no flag, check the fund code to determine if it was purchased on the NASON fund.

*If you have a non-existent heading in a 650 or 651 and the second indicator is not 0, delete heading. If the second indicator is 0, check OCLC for a correct heading.
*If you can find separate records for multi piece titles, use them. Medianet prefers to have one record per piece. There is an exception to this rule -- if it is a long playing movie, or an opera -- something that would not make sense to circulate in parts and pieces, use one bib record for the title.

General DVDs and VHSs and BLU-RAYs are given an accession number. The first indicator in the 852 is an 8 when using accession numbers. Do not duplicate accession numbers unless even you have an exact match. For example a title on VHS does not get the same accession number as the same movie on DVD. A good rule of thumb is this: if you need to use a different Bib record for the piece, you need a different accession number.
Note: prior to 2023, duplicate accession numbers were assigned to exact match copies.
There is a list of accession numbers posted in PatMonograph Catalog Librarian's cube. Take a number range and use those numbers. An example of the format of the 852 field is:
