ORIGINAL, ORIGINAL
CODE: CO
DEFINITION:
No matching catalog record located. Input a new, full master record (ELvl I, 4 or blank) cataloged according to current full cataloging practices. Includes: deriving a new master record (ELvl I, 4 or blank) using an existing record which lacks classification and subject headings; copy cataloging where the existing catalog record demands a complete re-creation, including assignment of classification, subject analysis, and access points; and newly input fully described K level records where headings, although created according to current cataloging practices, are not completely controlled.
COPY CATALOGING, WITH EITHER CLASSIFICATION OR SUBJECT ANALYSIS
CODE: CCC
DEFINITION:
1) A machine-readable record exists (lacking classification OR subject headings). Modify the record for local use, classify OR add subjects.
2) Deriving a new master record (ELvl I, K, 4 or blank) using an existing record which lacks classification OR subject headings.
COPY CATALOGING, NO EDITS
CODE: CC
DEFINITION:
A machine-readable record exists, the record exactly matches the item you are describing including subject heading(s) and classification. Cataloger only sets holdings and exports.
COPY CATALOGING, WITH EDITS (e.g. edits DO NOT include addition of classification or subject headings)
CODE: CCE
DEFINITION:
1) A machine-readable record exists with subject heading(s) AND classification, but requires the addition or correction of other bibliographic elements.
2) Deriving a new master record (ELvl I, K, 4 or blank) using an existing record which has both classification and subject headings, but requires the addition or correction of other bibliographic elements.
CATALOGING, MINIMAL
CODE: CM
DEFINITION:
No matching OCLC catalog record located. To be used when creating an EncLvl 3 record AND assigning LC classification.
IN PROCESS
CODE: IP
DEFINITION:

OCLC Member Merge Cataloging
OCLC Member Merge Project
CODE: OMP
DEFINITION: To be used when merging OCLC records prior to downloading new or overlaying existing Millennium records. Regardless of the number of records merged in OCLC, only add one 956 with this code for the record that was ultimately kept/used. Only those who have successfully completed the OCLC Member Merge training are permitted to use this code.
PCC Cataloging
To track PCC work, include one 956 for each PCC task completed, and an additional 956 for the type of cataloging work accomplished.
For example, if you upgraded a serial PCC record and created a NACO heading, your 956s would look like this:
956 _ _ |a 20170709|btsemf|cCCE
956 _ _ |a 20170709|btsemf|cCONSER
956 _ _ |a 20170709|btsemf|cNACO
For example, if you created a BIBCO Standard Record (which implies original cataloging) which included the creation of 3 name headings, your 956s would look like this:
956 _ _ |a 20170709|btsvw|cBSR
956 _ _ |a 20170709|btsvw|cNACO
956 _ _ |a 20170709|btsvw|cNACO
956 _ _ |a 20170709|btsvw|cNACO
You do not need another 956 with a CO code (since the BSR is original cataloging).
BIBCO STANDARD RECORD:
CODE: BSR
DEFINITION: No matching catalog record located. Input a new, full master BIBCO standard record (ELvl blank) cataloged according to the Program on Cooperative Cataloging’s BSR guidelines. These are "authenticated" records
BIBCO STANDARD RECORD MAINTENANCE:
CODE: BSRM
DEFINITION: Use for all BIBCO authenticated record maintenance tasks
CONSER RECORD MAINTENANCE:
CODE: CONSER
DEFINITION: Use for all CONSER authenticated record maintenance tasks.
NACO:
CODE: NACO
DEFINITON: Contribute new and/or update existing name authority records to the LC/NAF.
NOTE: add one 956 for each NACO heading established.
