Phil,
I know that the new Chapter 3 of AACR2 (2002 "edition") was implemented as
of December 1st at LC so I believe that you are now allowed to enter
coordinates as decimal degrees instead of degrees/minutes/seconds in your
bib. records if you want. However, I am not at all sure if OCLC is ready to
accept this kind of input in their workforms? Something I should check on
too, but hoping Ellen Caplan may see your question and respond...
Paige
Am I correct in believing that we are not yet permitted to enter decimal
degrees in the MARC 034 field in OCLC? No examples of this practice are
given in OCLC's MARC field help, but there are examples in LC's MARC 21
Concise Format for Bibliographic Data at:

>OCLC CatME will validate decimal degrees using + and - and 3 decimal
>points. But carrying out the decimal degrees to 4 decimal points gives a
>"too long" error message. The LC examples show 5 decimal points.

OCLC CatME will validate decimal degrees using + and - and 3 decimal
points. But carrying out the decimal degrees to 4 decimal points
