<p class="MsoNormal">The RBMS Bibliographic Standards Member Merge task group seeks input on its draft revision of the OCLC document
<i>Merging duplicate score records: A field-by-field comparison</i>, which incorporates new guidance for rare scores. This document draws largely on the previously approved revisions of OCLC’s
<i>Merging duplicate books records</i>, and <i>Merging duplicate continuing resource records</i>. Please make any comments in the Google doc
<b>by 3/24</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
