[DCRM-L] Question: Local notes in OCLC master records

[Dooley,Jackie]

Libraries that aren't ex-RLIN can purchase IRs. I would be surprised if
few have done so, but I've never inquired. -Jackie

Whenever we create a Master Record/Institutional Record combination, I
have instructed our catalogers to remove all local notes and tracings
from the Master.

 

I seem to remember that 590 and 500 notes tagged |5 will automatically
be stripped from the Master record.  Added entries (7xx) and 655 (form
genre) headings coded |5 will NOT be automatically stripped and I have
my catalogers strip those from the Master.  Without the corresponding
justification in the local note, they are just bad "noise" in an MR.

 

I don't know that the option to create IRs was ever extended to OCLC
libraries or it remains a legacy of we few, proud and unapologetic
former RLIN libraries <smile>
