OCLC's recommendations about how to deal with non-English Language of Cataloging records can be found in Bibliographic Formats and Standards 3.10, "Parallel Records for Language of Cataloging" (http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/specialcataloging/default.shtm#BCGBAE HC). Additionally, OCLC recently offered several Webinars on the topic of Parallel Records. One of those Webinars was recorded and is available on the Expert Community Experiment site at http://www.oclc.org/us/en/worldcat/catalog/quality/expert/default.htm.

When you run into those records out in OCLC that were created by a German, Dutch, Scandinavian, etc. - non-English, non-AACR2 library - how do you handle it? Do you edit and copy catalog or do you start from scratch and create an original? Thanks. Angie AGS Library
