<p class="MsoNormal">The current OCLC parallel record policy
began as the result of discussions with PCC participants.
Over time millions of records with descriptions in languages
other than English have been added to WorldCat. This
broadened international perspective has also brought about the
need to identify the language of cataloging used to describe
materials via coding in field 040 $b. The long term goal for
OCLC is to explicitly code all records as to the language of
cataloging. Both the BIBCO and CONSER Standard Record
guidelines include instructions to include field 040 $b coded
eng.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In OCLC field 040 $b is indexed, and OCLC’s
bibliographic workforms include a prompt for field 040 $b,
although there is not yet the capability of setting a default
language in workforms as many of us would like. OCLC has also
scanned the database and added field 040 $b coded eng to BIBCO
and CONSER records when it was missing, although it remains to
be added to other categories of records. However, today it is
still possible to create new BIBCO and CONSER records online
without field 040 $b and that requires additional
post-cataloging clean up.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To remedy the problem of field 040 $b being
omitted in new records, we will change online validation in
May to require field 040 $b coded eng in BIBCO and CONSER
records based on the coding in field 042. CONSER
authentication codes nlc and isds/c would not be included
since a portion of that cataloging is in French. This would
mean that catalogers creating new PCC records or
authenticating existing records as PCC would need to be
certain that 040 $b eng is present in accord with the BIBCO
and CONSER Standard Record guidelines.</p>
