OCLC's instruction about "vp_" deviates from MARC 21 and from the two
Library of Congress Cataloging Service Bulletins that formed the basis of
the appendix in DCRM(B) and DCRM(S).

CSB 53 (1991) and 78 (1991) both say "If all the items were published in a
single country (or state, province, etc.) the code for that country is
given. If the items were published in more than a single country, the code
vp# is given."

MARC 21 says "vp# - Various places: Various places are associated with
different parts of items, generally a collection."

I vote that you follow DCRM, LC, and MARC. If OCLC's system has a problem
with it, they can bulk change it at their end. (This opinion is my own and
does not represent Folger policy)

Happy Tuesday!

An interesting question came up as my intern, Daniella Aquino, was
cataloging religious pamphlets as original, collection-level records. These
pamphlets were published in London, Bath, and Edinburgh, so we'd like to us
"vp_" in the 008 (country of publication) as instructed in DCRM(B) Appendix
B4. However, OCLC clearly states not to use vp_ . Quoting from the web page:
"Use the code for various places of publication ( vp ) only if the imprint
has v.p. Do not use the abbreviation v.p. in AACR2 cataloging. Do not use
code vp for original cataloging." (see:
http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/ctry.html)

I assume DCRM(B) is the standard to follow, but I'm wondering if there's
something I'm missing.

Thanks!

Nina
