FYI in case people haven't already seen the announcement. From: OCLC Non-Latin Scripts Discussion List On Behalf Of Patton,Glenn Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 10:45 AM Subject: Records from the Jewish National and University Library
OCLC has begun adding records from the Jewish National and University Library (JNUL) to WorldCat. An initial load of more than 550,000 Hebrew-script records have been processed. The OCLC symbol for the JNUL is J9U. Additional files of Latin-script records as well as Arabic-script and Cyrillic-script records will be added over the next few weeks. Some sample Hebrew-script records include #232696837, #232697211 and #232693320. The Hebrew-script records do not have romanized fields paired with the fields containing script data. The "language of cataloging" (field 040, $b) is coded as Hebrew. If other OCLC users wish to have a record that contains paired fields, they should create a parallel record following the guidelines in Bibliographic Formats and Standards, section 3.10 (http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/specialcataloging/default.shtm#BCGBAEHC).
