[DCRM-L] DCRM-MSS code authorized for WorldCat records?

Fri Aug 26 12:39:22 MDT 2016

I’ll ask my OCLC colleagues about the timing of the update that’ll include the new code. As you know, they did a MARC update last week, so we’ll find out whether this was included.

    Hi Nina and all:

    Question here!!
    I have just encoded the "$e dcrm(mss)" in the 040 in a new MARC record 
    in OCLC today.
    The code is unrecognized in OCLC and, thus, the record will not verify.

    Can anyone advise on this from OCLC?
    Thank you for your help,

    Best,
    Allison

    Hi Allison, The descriptive conventions source code (040 $e) was requested
    from the MARC Standards Office just after the BSC vote to approve DCRM(MSS)
    at ALA Annual in Orlando, about two months ago.

    We requested "dcrmmss" but the Standards Office has not yet approved the
    request, and it's possible they may choose a code different from what we
    requested. When approved, the new code will be announced in a MARC technical
    notice <http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcginf.html#naa> and added to the MARC list
    of descriptive convention source codes.
    <http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/descriptive-conventions.html>

    I do expect that the approved code will not contain parentheses, as in your
    example. Codes are composed of lowercase alphabetic characters, numeric
    characters 0 through 9, and the hyphen (-), up to a maximum of 12
    characters.

    Once MARC announces a new code in a technical notice, they request a 60-day
    waiting period on implementation in exchange records, so that the code can
    be added to validation tables. The MARC source code site says "Implementers
    may use newly assigned codes in their internal systems immediately as long
    as records containing new codes are not distributed until after the waiting
    period."

    As for OCLC, I think we may have to wait until the next OCLC-MARC technical
    bulletin that we will see the code validate in OCLC, and those appear to
    come out annually.

    I'll send an update to DCRM-L list as soon as I hear more.

    Matt
