1. Record examples “Traditional” (yellow) CONSER standard record (blue)
Note: Selected fields only!
The next several slides that follow are taken from existing OCLC records, but have been greatly edited to show some differences between records as they may exist in the shared database now and how new records will possibly look in the future.
What I will do is show you the “traditional” cataloging record (yellow), followed immediately by my best guess as to how the same record might have been constructed under the guidelines for the CONSER standard record (blue).
Keep in mind that the cataloging examples that follow will contain as many MARC fields needed to give a reasonable representation; for example, due to space considerations, the fixed fields are not included. The exclusion of any given field does not necessarily indicate that it would be excluded from either a traditional or a CONSER standard record!
