In addition to the change for FICT in the fixed field and 006, there are two other points I would like to bring to your attention. 1. Tags 780 and 785. Second indicator value '8' was not defined for the 780 and 785 tags. '8' is not valid for tag 780. For tag 785, value '8' has the meaning "Changed back to". You may want to modify your copy of TB227. 2. An error caused some problems with CONSER replaces and adds. Tag 850 was deleted from records that were replaced and was not included in records added on Sunday, October 25 and Monday, October 26. The software was modified on Monday and all records input or replaced beginning Tuesday are correct. Robert Bremer is working with CONSER participants on recovering the deleted 850 fields. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Ellen Caplan Ellen R. Caplan OCLC, Inc. Collections & Technical Services Division 6565 Frantz Rd.
