OK, that's fine....just throwing ideas out there. --Steve Steve Shadle/Serials Access Librarian shadle@u.washington.edu NASIG Past-President University of Washington Libraries Phone: (206) 685-3983 Seattle, WA 98195-2900 Fax: (206) 543-0854 On Fri, 26 Oct 2012, Hall, Jack wrote: > Thanks, Steve. I truly do not believe anybody here used the latest entry record and changed it into successive entry. I have been here longer than we have had the record (dating back to before OCLC even had a format for serials). Only professional catalogers have ever cataloged serials here and we have never used latest entry. . I think the fact that hundreds of libraries have their holdings on the record strongly implies this as well. So many libraries would not have used a latest entry record. I'm convinced the successive entry record in OCLC got changed to latest entry after we used it. > > Jack > > Jack Hall > Manager of Cataloging Services > Linguistics Librarian > University of Houston Libraries > Houston, TX 77204-2000 > phone: 713 743 9687 > fax: 713 743 9748 > email: jhall@uh.edu > > -----Original Message----- > From: SERIALST: Serials in Libraries Discussion Forum [mailto:SERIALST@LIST.UVM.EDU] On Behalf Of Steven C Shadle > Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 6:42 PM > To: SERIALST@LIST.UVM.EDU > Subject: Re: [SERIALST] Serial record: our catalog versus the OCLC record > > Hi Jack -- In our local catalog, we have a series of successive entry records (and can't speak to what #1782411 looked like previously as we never used it and don't have our holdings attached): > > #3262368 1962 to current: Accounting trends & techniques > #7267100 1950 to 1961: Accounting trends and techniques in published corporate annual reports > #8354480 1949: Accounting techniques used in published corporate annual reports > #8354419 1948: Accounting trends in corporate reports > #7267103 1947: Accounting survey of 525 corporate reports > > Are you sure you're predecessor didn't export/update the latest entry record decades ago and made it successive entry locally? Since the successive records weren't authenticated until 1991, I can very easily see hundreds of libraries having their holdings on the LC latest entry records through the decades and never bothering to catch the change. --Steve > > Steve Shadle/Serials Access Librarian shadle@u.washington.edu > NASIG Past-President > University of Washington Libraries Phone: (206) 685-3983 > Seattle, WA 98195-2900 Fax: (206) 543-0854 > > On Thu, 25 Oct 2012, Hall, Jack wrote: > >> >> For the serial: Accounting trends & techniques we have OCLC 1782411 in our catalog.
