WorldCat Local Release Updates for February 2014 (scheduled for February 13)
Enhanced Feature: Data from MARC fields/subfields added to display
OCLC has added MARC fields and subfields in support of RDA cataloging, as well as to provide users with more descriptive information about the items they are looking at:
- MARC 382 – Medium of Performance. Display from $a. If multiple $a they will display on separate lines.
- MARC 383 – Numeric designation of Musical Works. Display $a,b,c in order. If multiple $a they will display on separate lines.
- MARC 384 – Key. Display $a. Non-repeatable field so shouldn’t have multiples.
Enhanced Feature: Improvements for retrieving OCLC knowledgebase links
We have made changes to our query logic to continue improving the experience with knowledgebase links. This improvement is in response to reports of irrelevant links being returned.
