Thanks for Annie’s comment. I have mixed feelings about the no de-duping of pre-1801 publications. Would OCLC really give preference to dcrm records if they were to de-dupe? Even over pcc records?

Interestingly, when we asked about permissible duplicates (one DCRM, one AACR2) OCLC said they did NOT want duplicate records. Instead they wanted to merge records with the DCRM record surviving as the master record. So, why exempt pre-1800 books from the de-duping? Why not work the algorithm to favor DCRM?
Thanks, Annie
