The OCLC-MARC Bibliographic and Holdings Format Update 2016 will be installed during August 2016.  All details are now available in OCLC Technical Bulletin 266:  OCLC-MARC Format Update 2016 available at https://www.oclc.org/support/services/worldcat/documentation/tb/266.en.html.  This update will implement MARC 21 Bibliographic and Holdings format changes announced in MARC 21 Updates No. 21 (September 2015; http://www.loc.gov/marc/marc21_update21_online.html) and No. 22 (April 2016; http://www.loc.gov/marc/marc21_update22_online.html) including:


  *   Defining three new codes in existing positions in the Sound Recording 007 (“Remote” in Specific Material Designation, “Not Applicable” in Speed and in Kind of Material) and one new code in an existing position in the Electronic Resources 007 (“Standalone Device” in Specific Material Designation).
  *   Defining subfields $0 (Authority Record Control Number or Standard Number)  in existing 336 (Content Type; Bibliographic and Authority), 337 (Media Type; Bibliographic and Holdings), and 338 (Carrier Type; Bibliographic and Holdings) fields.
  *   Defining new Bibliographic and Authority fields 348 for Format of Notated Music.
  *   Defining new subfields $r (Total Number of Individuals Performing alongside Ensembles) and $t (Total Number of Ensembles) in existing Bibliographic and Authority fields 382 (Medium of Performance).
  *   Defining subfield $w (Bibliographic Record Control Number) in existing Authority field 670 (Source Data Found).
  *   Defining new subfields $0 (Authority Record Control Number or Standard Number) and $2 (Source of Term) to existing Bibliographic field 753 (System Details Access to Computer Files).
  *   Defining subfield $8 (Field Link and Sequence Number) in over 150 Bibliographic fields where it has been defined by MARC 21.


Additionally, OCLC will validate MARC codes announced in nine LC Technical Notices (http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcginf.html#naa<http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcginf.html>) issued since the OCLC-MARC Update 2015 was installed in August 2015.  OCLC also plans to convert all existing Bibliographic fields 305 (Physical Description for Sound Recordings) to field 300 and make field 305 obsolete.

Although MARC 21 Authority Format changes are documented in Technical Bulletin 266, the Authority record changes will be implemented not at this time but instead at a future date in coordination with the Library of Congress and the Name Authority Cooperative (NACO) of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC).  LC, NACO, and OCLC will make announcements at that future date.

OCLC plans to install the OCLC-MARC Bibliographic and Holdings Format Update 2016 during August 2016 and will make announcements widely through the usual discussion lists and Connexion logon greetings at that time.

Please forgive any duplication of this message.
