[Heb-NACO] An advisory on recent CUY$cCUY records

[Robert M. TALBOTT]

Folks:

UC Berkeley recently contracted an unnamed vendor to supply Hebrew language
records to our catalog.  These records were accepted without review, and
perhaps even more unfortunately, the records were created using our call
letters,  CUY, in the 040 coded as full level records.

14 of the 16 records included in this batch contain a number of errors at a
high rate of occurrence. Many of these errors are obvious, though some are
not.  The remaining two are mostly okay for student copy cataloging, but a
closer inspection with the piece in hand may reveal that these two contain
unacceptable errors.

I have every intention of correcting these records once I have the pieces
in hand, but there is a chance you may encounter them before that I get my
hands on them. If this happens, please feel free to correct any and all
errors you find.  For those of you authorized to execute merges might find
it easier to simply catalog the books from scratch, then to merge the
faulty CUY records.

I apologize for any inconvenience this episode has created.

The OCLC record numbers for the batch:

1) 1342054439

2) 1342054449

3) 1342054205

4) 1342054445
