N.S. 94-1
Selecting OCLC Records and
Standards for Creating Short Bib Records on OSCAR
by the Working Group to Study
Shared Bibliographic Record Standards
When we are able to download records directly from OCLC, that will be the preferred methods of obtaining bibliographic records, *Cataloging looks for the best available record, i.e., whether record contains complete LC number and/or LC subject heading(s) . If the quality of records is equal, record will be chosen for downloading in the following priority order:
DLC/DLC
DLD/DLC (CIP or level-8)
U.S. member copy (prefer I-level)
UKM/Canadian/other foreign copy
**Standards for creating short bib records on OSCAR that cannot be downloaded from OCLC (for Acquisition or Cataloging purposes) :
LANG
SKIP
LOCATION
BCODE3
Author
Title
Edition
Imprint
Series
LCCN (if available)
ISBN (if available)
ISSN (if available)
