<div><span style="font-size: 15px;">We at OCLC all sat up and took note of last week's DCRM-L energetic discussion of your various practices regarding copy-specific data. Our metadata quality team currently working on revising Bibliographic Formats and Standards,
section 3.5, “Copy- or Institution-Specific Notes and Access Points” (<a href="http://oc.lc/79i8Si">http://oc.lc/79i8Si</a>), to be more specific about preferred practices. The revision will focus on when it is appropriate to add such information to the master
record, and when it is preferable to use WorldShare Metadata local bibliographic record capabilities or local holdings data to record copy- or institution-specific data. A draft version will be released for comment in early January, and you'll be among the
first to see it.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 15px;">We look forward to your input after we distribute the revised section.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 15px;">In the meantime, wishing you all a wonderful round of holidays!</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: 15px;">All my best wishes, Jackie</span></div>
