Indexing is unique to each system, so if you want to know what is indexed in your own integrated library system or local system, you'll want to check with your system documentation. How are these codes used in our ILS or LSP systems? Does this usually correlate with the Mandatory codes? Yes, we are discussing indexing in the WorldCat database, and our information is coming from the document Searching WorldCat Indexes, which is available on the OCLC website.

When you say a code is not indexed, I assume you mean not indexed in the OCLC database. Unless there's another code in this position that's more appropriate, I would generally use "w" as website, because that's the remote resource equivalent of an updating loose-leaf. Generally, you wouldn't use the code "l" for an electronic resource. It's a base volume updated by separate pages, which are inserted or removed and substituted and that's very print-oriented. The definition for "loose-leaf" in this position, the code "l," is defined as a tangible resource. There may be documentation that addresses this. There must be other records out there that people have coded that tend toward a certain practice. But that's just my take on it at this point. The situation where you have that same publication presented as an online resource, where basically they replace it with the updated version, seems like it's much more the situation where you would want to code it as "w," to say it's more like an updating website in that case. It seems to me that "l" is really intended for the print situation where you're receiving updates and you're filing those in. Should we retain the "l" in the SrTp? Or, because the vendors only provide the "current" and fully updated resource, should these electronic resources be coded "w" instead? This is a common situation with updating law materials. Electronic version of a loose-leaf (updating) monograph: the SrTp for the print is coded "l", but the electronic version normally presents the resource with the pages interfiled and updated, so it is an updated resource as a single resource. Everybody who uses WorldCat will benefit from that coding.
So if your library is in the process of making sure you thoroughly code those elements, that is a great idea. If illustrative content (008/18-21 006/01-04) has a lot of importance to a library that will be starting to use WMS soon, would you recommend them to continue to enhance illustrative content in this shared environment? Yes, the illustrative content is important to everybody using the records. You're welcome to leave both of them as they are or code either or both. When using a code like "k" (vocal score) or "c" (accompaniment reduced for piano) for Format of Music, should "b" (arrangement) also be used for Transposition and arrangement? Both of those elements are optional.
For CONSER, since there is a guideline that says that it should be blank, if you are authenticating an existing record where that is coded and you end up with an authenticated CONSER record where there is no Key title, follow the CONSER instruction and change the element to be blank so it's in step with CONSER practice. I personally have always considered that an ISSN element that I would typically not bother with in ordinary cataloging. When authenticating a record for CONSER, are we supposed to remove a code from 008/33 if there is no Key title? That instruction that we have in documentation has been there since the 1980s.
OCLC guidelines say that the code may be based on language of title proper (245) if there is no Key title. CONSER guidelines say that 008/33 "should be" blank if there is no authenticated Key title. It doesn't fall into any of the other types, so you end up with type "a" sort of by default, when you have that situation of multiple maps on one sheet. If there is more than one map on a sheet, that is typically recorded in the 300, like you would see "five maps on one sheet." However, if you didn't have that situation, of a single map on a sheet, you would still have to pick a code. FebruIs code "a" in CrTp used for a single sheet that contains more than one map on it (one on each side of the sheet, for instance)? It's for a single map on a single sheet.
