<div><font face="Lucida Grande" size="-4" color="#000000">There exists
on the OCLC website a handy guide for when and when not to crate a new
record:</font></div>

<div><font face="Lucida Grande" size="-4" color="#000000">The
guidelines are not explicit about DCRM(B) records, but they do state
that differences in cataloging rules do NOT justify creation of a new
record. Therefore, you would edit the existing record to DCRM(B) rules
for your local catalog, but would still be linked to the AACR2 record
in WorldCat.</font></div>
