<p class="MsoNormal">Just wanted to report that Laura Ramsey, manager of OCLC's Quality Control Section, is investigating how to fix a problem with rare book records having been transformed into microfilm records.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following ESTC practice (?) these records have a 533 Reproduction Note for the UMI microfilm surrogate rather than a 530 Additional Physical Form Available Note.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">See OCLC #228723187 for an example. See <a href="http://estc.bl.uk/R15245">
http://estc.bl.uk/R15245</a> for the same record in the ESTC. In OCLC, the blank 008/23 has been changed to "a" and 33X's for microfilm were added.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For another example, see OCLC #14589218 (though in this case, only the 008/23 has been changed -- from "blank" to "a" -- no 33X's were added).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Special thanks to Deborah J. "Eagle-Eyes" Leslie for noticing the problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>
