Dear Friends and Allies,

I am happy to pass along a link to the new OCLC Tech Bulletin that
describes including the 034 field in authority records, additional
subfields for 034 in bibliographic records, and indexing of 034 subfield
z for bibliographic and 034 subfields d, e, f, g and z in authority
records.

"A new technical bulletin is available at
http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/worldcat/tb/255/255.pdf
Technical Bulletin 255, "OCLC-MARC Format Update 2008," describes the
changes to OCLC-MARC records".

Now maybe Colleen Cahill can start loading the coordinates in authority
records for places?

Thanks again to everyone who helped me develop and get passed the
proposal this came from a couple of years ago!
Jimmie
