<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Marcia,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Just to get everyone thinking on the same page, I sent an
email below to OCLC’s QC section. (This section consists of Glenn Patton,
Cynthia Whitacre, Jay Weitz, Brenda Block, and Robert Bremer). They take
one day a week to promptly answer questions that come in to AskQC from their
constituents. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Their response (already!) was: “<span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Bottom
line, the answer is yes, core level can still be used by any library who is not
contributing records with 042 of pcc. You are quite correct that we need
to revise wording in BFAS. Thank you for identifying places where wording
changes are needed. That has certainly made our job easier. We’ll
work on revisions and get them in the works and hopefully have this completed
sometime in December. I’ll be sure to let you know when we’ve gotten
changes made in BFAS.” </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Marcia, The word “core” (and believe me, no one liked
the word, because it has had so many different meanings in the past!) has
essentially been replaced by the concept of “floor” that appears in the current
crop of BSRs. I hadn’t thought about it before, but in a way the phrase
“core record standards for completeness” that you see in the MARC definition of
Encoding Level 4 used in the past by libraries contributing PCC records, has
been supplanted for libraries using an 042 of “pcc” by ONE Encoding Level of
“blank”. Non-BIBCO libraries can still use ELvl 4 if they want--and if
they did, the “floor” concept would apply. If libraries were cataloging
in OCLC however, they would be more apt to use K—again using the “floor”
concept, as I and K are OCLC constructs. Outside of OCLC they actually
would have to use “4” if it fit. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I was just looking at the OCLC comparison of cataloging
level guidelines with Aislinn Sotelo<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a
href="http://www.oclc.org/us/en/bibformats/en/onlinecataloging/default.shtm#BCGGBAFC">http://www.oclc.org/us/en/bibformats/en/onlinecataloging/default.shtm#BCGGBAFC</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>and we realized that if a non-PCC library cataloged a
resource as Elvl “I” or “K” and an 040 with DCRMB that the choice of encoding
level would depend on the “fullness” with which you supplied the various
elements. PCC libraries don’t have this differentiation. Records
with an 042 of “pcc” and an Elvl of “blank” and an 040 with DCRMB may, in a
sense, end up with major differences in terms of levels. This
actually doesn’t bother me because I think of bib records as going through an
iterative process of incubation—they will improve over time. That “floor”
concept again! You can build in improvement. This is in contrast to the
records that in the past were only issued when they were “perfect” <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear QCrs,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Below are OCLC documentation questions, not necessarily
nudges. This is what it says in the OCLC ELvl input standards.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Core-level</span></strong>.
A record that is less-than-full, but greater-than-minimal-level cataloging and
that meets core record standards for completeness. Any OCLC participant may
enter a Core-level record as long as Core-level input standards are followed.<span
style='color:red'> A Core-level record that is entered by a library
participating in PCC through BIBCO or CONSER will contain an authentication
code in field 042.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Does this section need to be rewritten to remove the last
sentence? (or possibly rephrasing it to read): “Libraries participating
in PCC through BIBCO or CONSER and contributing records with an authentication
code in field 042 should only use Encoding level of blank.” Or some such
wording<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also, I went to the definition of “Full, Core, Minimal and
Abbreviated-Level Cataloging and found this: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>“In addition, OCLC adopted
the core-level standard that was defined in 1994 by the Cooperative Cataloging
Council (now known as the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC)). For more
information on approved Core-level standards, see the Monographic Bibliographic
Record Program of the PCC ( <a
href="http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/bibco.html)">http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/bibco.html)</a>.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Should the above paragraph
be revised (or deleted) since it isn’t really applicable for PCC members
anymore?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3>Core-level cataloging<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Records that meet at least
the requirements of first-level description (AACR2, rule 1.0D1) and meet some
requirements of second-level description (AACR2, rule 1.0D2). The core standard
is a less-than-full standard, but is more inclusive than Minimal-level. The
standard is optional. Use it as appropriate<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Bottom line—can the
Core-level cataloging standard—still be defined as above? Can it still be
used by any library who is not contributing records with an 042 of PCC?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
