[DCRM-L] DCRM-L Digest, Vol 108, Issue 22

[Sotelo, Aislinn]

Jackie,

What about the OCLC Merging Records Pilot Program where some intuitions could merge records in OCLC ourselves? I believe the training says to be very careful about dcrmx (etc.) records, but is there an actual block for this happening? I know OCLC is still analyzing the pilot. The issue of merging pre 1800, dcrb, bdrb, dcrmx, etc. should be in those conversations if it's not already.

Yes, it's correct that OCLC doesn't deduplicate dcrm[x] records, nor dcrb, nor bdrb, nor gihc .... Same for pre-1800 imprints. -Jackie

Others can correct me if I've been working under false pretenses, but I'm under the impression that OCLC won't touch a record if it's coded dcrmX (X being whichever module is used: books, serials, graphics) in the 040 $e.

For those working in Connexion, I believe there is a way to search through GLIMIR clusters to see IR's (see Client Help>GLIMIR>What is in the index). As to the possibility of displaying IR's, RBMS would likely have to start a conversation with OCLC. There are likely costs involved.
