[DCRM-L] Identifying rare book records with non-standard use of 533

Questions from Laura Ramsay related to finding the rare book records that need to be switched back:


Do all of the records have the 510 with ESTC?
Do all have the series “Early English books” in the 533 $f?


Are these assumptions correct?

  *
Form: a [because it was machine-changed from "blank"]
  *
533: Microfilm [because that's what triggered the machine change in the first place]
  *
No 007 [because the records didn't start out as microfilm records, and if the 007 had been present, it would have been coded for a book, so the machine wouldn't have changed it]
  *
No 245 gmd [because OCLC's machine change put in new-style 3XXs for microfilm, not a gmd]
Anything else these records might have in common that would help pull them out of the database?

Thanks,

Erin.
