The code will be used in records for both serials and integrating resources. Codes lcd and lc will remain valid in pre-existing records and will not be systematically changed to pcc at this time. Other authentication codes will remain valid and some may be used in combination with code pcc, when appropriate. 008/39 code c Beginning May 1, 2009 CONSER practice for coding the 008/39 cataloging source will also change. CONSER institutions, other than CONSER national libraries, will use code c (defined as cooperative cataloging program) in all records - original or copy - authenticated and distributed as part of the CONSER Program, unless the record began as a record from a national library, in which case the source code will remain blank. Previously, authenticated records based on existing OCLC member copy were coded d (defined as other) by default. Code d on existing authenticated records remains valid and will not be systematically changed to code c in the near future. The coding practices of national bibliographic agencies participating in CONSER, (e.g. the Library of Congress, Library and Archives Canada, National Library of Medicine, and National Agricultural Library) will not change. These agencies will continue to use code blank in the 008/39 for original and previously unauthenticated OCLC records.

They charged a task group to draft a set of required elements for such a record in time for the BIBCO Operations Committee and the cataloging community to discuss the model in the spring. The Task Group is using BIBCO Standard Record as the working name for the proposed model. The Interim Report of the Task Group on BIBCO Standard Record Requirements may be viewed at: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/TG_InterimRpt_BSR-MAP5_20Mar09.pdf To forward comments to the Task Group and to facilitation compilation, please follow these guidelines: 1. Use BIBCO Standard Record as the subject line in your email: 2. Refer to specific sections of the text and to specific tags when commenting (i.e. Characteristics, point 2, or MAP, 546, or Guidelines, 246) 3. Send your emails to the address designated as the official site for comments: c...@loc.gov by Friday, April 24, 2009. Task group members and PCC leadership will be observing lists where discussion is anticipated. The TG looks forward to reading the comments emailed to c...@loc.gov The Task Group will submit their final report by mid-June, and the PCC decision on this model will follow after ALA Annual.
