<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">I am thrashing about in the underbrush of OCLC records for incunabula, trying to create the occasional orderly clearing, but in the end I am wondering what special unwritten rules there are concerning
master records that allow for such an <i>omnium gatherum</i> of copy-specific elements as OCLC #56414568 (LCCN 2004574211 with revisions by Detroit PL and Columbia).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">The information is interesting, no doubt of that; but there are facilities for accessing it in more coherent form by way of the institutional catalogs to which OCLC provides relatively easy access.
I certainly don't want most of it in my own institution's record (though it will be worth noting that the Brown and the LC copies both have a Buxheim stamp).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Would I be justified in updating this record in part to delete all copy-specific that has no bearing on identification of, or actual variation in copies of, the manifestation? This question often
arises in connection with LC-based records, of course, but lots of libraries do this sort of thing, even adding copy-specific information to the OCLC record rather than making local edits. Is this just shared cataloging with a vengeance?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
