Data, Updates 2 & 3. Not everything in Updates 2 & 3 are being implemented at this time. In addition, there are also some code list changes in this document as well as some enhancements related to requests from OCLC users. Implementation will be announced via a log-on Message of the Day. These enhancements are described in Technical Bulletin 227. The paper copies have been shipped to libraries. TB227 is also available on the web at http://www.oclc.org/oclc/tb/tb227/frames_man.htm. In addition, if you have copies of the Tape and Expeort Record Formats you will also want to check out the Tape and Export Record Formats Change Notice 8: OCLC-MARC Bibliographic Update 1998 at http://www.oclc.org/oclc/man/tfcn/tape8.htm.
