Re: Correcting/Upgrading OCLC records Gabel,Linda 11 Jan 2007 13:43 UTC

Hi, Pat (and others),

On Wednesday you asked:
What is the best way for me to approach upgrading these [OCLC] records?

The other respondent who mentioned sending in a request to
https://www3.oclc.org/app/bibchg/  or <bibchange@oclc.org> was correct.

However, if the record has 10 or fewer holdings, you can also do the
work yourself.  Details about what can be done in record correction can
be found in section 5.2 of "Bibliographic Formats & Standards".  Check
<http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/quality/#CIAIGHAI> for more details.

Sincerely,

--Linda
