OCLC policy change OCLC policy change < TB 250:
-- These were duplicated records in WorldCat
-- under routine OCLC QC maintenanceThe purpose of QC: -- quality, clean database, unique bib. items -- effective bibliographic control

OCLC policy change OCLC policy change Background: -- “As part of OCLC becoming the leading global library
cooperative, it has long been envisioned that World Cat would need a parallel record structure to display records by language of cataloging.”
-- Technological advancements
OCLC Users Group Annual Meeting3/6/2004
Inclusiveness:-- increased capacity for global resources
Increased complexity:-- member increase in number and in level of participations
-- Oracle database accepts a wide range of both MARC & non-MARC
OCLC Users Group Annual Meeting3/6/ 2004
New WorldCat
Increased complexity in cataloging practices
-- the N. American practices (based on AACR2 and LC practices) + foreign/local practices

-- In practice (con’t):
CONSER editing guide. Appendix O, specific guidelines: 4.
“When creating CJK records …give non-roman script data in consecutive parallel fields, with the same tag and indicator as its romanized counterpart. Always give the romanized field first.”

Parallel fields in CJK recordsParallel fields in CJK records
Key elements in CONSER editing guide
-romanized field first--follow by non-roman script data in the second field
-- one-to-one relationship between non-roman script and its romanized counterpart

Parallel fields in CJK recordsParallel fields in CJK records
-- In practice (con’t):
LCRI: 24.1B. Romanization “… always using systematic romanization as the
heading for a body with a name written in a nonroman script.”
OCLC Users Group Annual Meeting 2004
RomanizationRomanization
The ALA-LC romanization tables:
Chinese – the Pinyin system
Japanese – the modified Hepburn system (as employed in
Kenkyusha’s New Japanese-English Dictionary (3rd + later ed.))
Korean – the McCune-Reischauer system
OCLC Users Group Annual Meeting 2004
Parallel fields for descriptive cataloging: Parallel fields for descriptive cataloging:
1.The first parallel field: -- romanization of the CJK (non-roman) bibliographic
elements2. The second parallel field: -- the CJK (non-roman) script data of the romanized
counterpartIf not both: -- create only roman record <http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/archive/jackphy.html >

Parallel fields for subject headingsParallel fields for subject headings
H182 [When to add non-roman scripts]: -- only for name headings assigned as subjects;
-- [but only] when there is one-to-one equivalency between the romanized portion of the name heading, official pronunciation, and LC
romanization rules for the CJK language … -- Not for topical headings, even if established
according to ALA-LC romanization tables. I.e. Feng sui ; Ukiyoe

Parallel fields in CJK recordsParallel fields in CJK records
English terms:-- use in selected fields for notes, etc.-- when in doubt, consult AACR2 rules or OCLC bibliographic input
standards-- never parallel English terms with non-roman scripts!

Summary Summary 1. Use parallel field structure to create CJK records
2. Follow the standard guidelines, (AACR2, LCRI, LC subject guides, OCLC bibliographic input standards), and other national documents to formulate bibliographic data in OCLC MARC
3. Do not include local information intended for local users in the OCLC’s master records -- (if you must, do it locally!)
4. Exercise your OCLC enhance authorization with great caution! Do so only if you are absolutely sure and have reviewed the item in hand against the prescribed rules and guidelines
