January:
Change in Bibliographic Record Coding
Effective December 1, 2004, GPO’s Office of Bibliographic
Services (OBS) will be changing its practice of coding records for microfiche
reproductions of serials. The OBS catalogers code the DtSt Field (leader
position 008/06) with “d” to indicate that these reproductions
have ceased. This practice was followed to accommodate the paper production
cycle of the Monthly Catalog.
OBS will now adhere to MARC21 Format for Bibliographic
Data standard practice of coding 533 fields, subfield 7 and position 0
as “d” to indicate that the microfiche reproductions of a
serial has ceased. This code appears in the 539 subfield “a”
in GPO’s records in OCLC WorldCat. OBS catalogers will use notes
and other MARC21 fields to indicate that GPO no longer distributes the
paper version.

February:
GPO Adds OCLC Holdings Symbol for Regional Depository Libraries
Beginning February 1, 2005, the OCLC holdings symbol
of 30 Regional depository libraries will be added to the bibliographic
records GPO contributes to OCLC WorldCat. Working with GPO, OCLC has developed
an automated batch loading process to set the holdings, which will be
run daily.
This project will bring improved public and library
community awareness of resources available in Federal depository library
collections through an increased number of bibliographic access points
and facilitated interlibrary loan of tangible U.S. Government publications.
Adding OCLC symbols to GPO-produced cataloging originated
as a suggestion from Regional depository librarians. GPO would like to
thank the depository libraries at the following institutions for participating
in this project:
- Auburn University at Montgomery (AAM)
- Arizona State Library (AZP)
- California State Library (CAX)
- University of Colorado (COD)
- Connecticut State Library (CZL)
