What are members saying? Looking for ways for CARL libraries to cooperate Collection development Cataloging Decided to focus on: Canadian maps Canadian government docs Canadian electronic resources Joseph Hafner Senior Director Collection Services McGill University Library Result: We now have collectively cataloged almost 7,000 records Shared collections so that others can maintain WorldCat holdings and receive MARC records I see the possibilities if we start sharing these records with one another...the time that we could save!

A new approach to local data OCLC is providing the option to migrate Institution Record (IR) data to Local Bibliographic Data (LBD). With LBDs, libraries benefit from the combination of the cooperatively managed master record data and library-specific local data, as well as future linked data and entities-based cataloging workflows. Some libraries created IRs because they couldn t add data to the master record in WorldCat, but with the Expert Community, member libraries now have the ability to improve, upgrade and make changes to the majority of WorldCat master records.
Local Bib Data vs. Institution Records An IR is a static copy of your full bibliographic record that is attached to an OCLC master record in WorldCat. Local Bibliographic Data (LBD) store only pertinent information (e.g. local notes, subject headings, added entries) from your bibliographic record, to be displayed to your users. Libraries should add as much information as possible to the master bibliographic record, and use LBD to capture information that doesn t have a place in the master record. Libraries might find them most useful for rare and special materials.
Options 1. Convert Institution Records (IR) to Local Bibliographic Data (LBD) 2. Delete your Institution Records without loading Local Bibliographic Data 3. Create Local Bibliographic Data from local system records
Fields that can be used to add Local Bibliographic Data Name Type MARC Field(s) Leader (byte 5) System Leader Control Number System 001 $a OCLC Number System 004 $a Uniform Title Notes 240 General Note Notes 500 With Note Notes 501 Non-Specialized Notes (User-Defined) Notes 590-599 Personal Name Subject Added Entry 600, 696 Corporate Name Subject Added Entry 610, 697 Meeting Name Subject Added Entry 611, 698 Uniform Title Subject Added Entry 630, 699 Topical Term Subject Added Entry 650, 690 Geographic Name Subject Added Entry 651, 691 Local Index Term: Genre/Form Subject Added Entry 655 Added Class Number Subject Added Entry 695 Added Entry Personal Name Name 700, 790, 796 Added Entry Corporate Name Name 710, 791, 797 Added Entry Meeting Name Name 711, 792, 798 Added Entry Uniform Title Name 730, 793, 799 Local System Number System 935 $a Institution Number System 940 $a

Batchload of LBDs We will work with you to help identify: Fields to be added to Local Bibliographic Data Steps to batchload LBDs Contact IRInfo@oclc.org to order a new project or to provide information relative to an existing project
Timelines Creation of Institution Records Date Support Ends Batchload December 2015 Connexion June 2016 Notifications Deadlines Date Convert IRs to LBD December 15, 2015 Deletion of IRs June 2016
How to Get Started 1 Choose which option you would like: Delete your existing Institution Records Convert Local Bibliographic Data from your existing Institution Records or from your local system records 2 E-mail OCLC your selection IRInfo@oclc.org Frequently Asked Questions are available at: http://www.oclc.org/connexion/resources.en.html#questions To request WorldShare Record Manager: http://oc.lc/getrecordmanager
Institution Record FAQs 1. If libraries want LBD for part of the collection but not all of the collection, how is that handled in batchload? 2. How do libraries specify what should go in the master record vs. LBD? 3. What data gets merged into the master record? 4. If data doesn t get merged to the master record based on OCLC s algorithms, can it automatically be added to LBD?
Institution Record FAQs 5. Is the only way to do LBD through Record Manager, not Connexion? 6. If a library doesn t ask OCLC to delete existing IRs, will the IRs remain as read-only in Connexion after June 2016? 7. How will I view other libraries edits when IRs are discontinued?

Questions and answers? 1. From Rachel Simon (Princeton) "We at Princeton are very interested to know more regarding OCLC plans to stop having Institutional Records saved with them, how the Master records will be updated, and if institutions will have updated Master records be loaded back to them. 2. From Marlene Schiffman (Yeshiva University) "In RDA you can put a former owner in 561 field, but when you trace it in 700 field, it is no longer local information. Could there be a local 700 field (or local indicator) so that the name of the former owner only comes up in the local system and not in OCLC generally? The opposite side of the coin is that many LC records have a 700 for the copy in LC that I have to delete in my record when I export it."
