At ALA Midwinter at New Orleans last January, MARBI approved a request to
modify the 034 tag to allow decimal degrees. I'm not in a position to know
OCLC's schedule, but my understanding is that OCLC should be implementing
the changes shortly.

Subject: Decimal degrees in OCLC?
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:
http://lcweb.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/
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.
