Subject: FW: PCC guidelines for coding MARC 21 264 field




In Technical Bulletin 261 “OCLC-MARC Format Update 2012” ( http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/worldcat/tb/261/default.htm ), OCLC strongly recommended not using the new Bibliographic field 264 until guidelines for its use were made available. The message below from the Program for Cooperative Cataloging announces that the document “PCC Guidelines for the 264 Field” is now available. As a result, OCLC users may now begin to use field 264 according to these guidelines and with the cautions noted in the PCC message. Thanks for your patience. Please excuse any duplication of this announcement.

PCC guidelines for coding MARC 21 264 field are available from: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/264-Guidelines.doc The guidelines were developed with the help of staff from the Library of Congress Policy and Standards Division and other stakeholders.



It should be noted that these guidelines do not address the application of the 264 field for materials cataloged under the standards for Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (DCRM) or other standards for specialized materials. The communities working on the application of RDA for specialized materials will need to develop appropriate guidelines for using the 264 field with those materials.



If there are questions or comments about this document, please send them to [log in to unmask] .

Les Hawkins
