</SPAN><FONT COLOR="#1F497D"><FONT SIZE="4"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Jackie Dooley asked me off-list what an “IR” was and I realized I should clarify:<BR>
<BR>
IR = “Institutional Record”. A hold-overs from the RLIN merger where we get to hang individual records off the Master. They aren’t in the default search for Connexion/First Search so you have to set your settings to see them. They do index/search in WORLDCAT but don’t display as individual records. Which can get confusing if you “hit” a tracing that’s not on the Master Record.<BR>
<BR>
They can be useful in parsing out copy-specific variations or occasionally in finding a more fleshed out cataloged record. <BR>
<BR>
They are excluded from OCLC controlled headings which is a mixed blessing. My catalogers can’t take advantage of the functionality of checking for authorized headings, but we’re also protected from any bad automated heading flips.<BR>
