AGIIDVIEDTI' FOR OCLC TO CONVERT THE INSTITUTION'S CARD CATALOG
TO MACHINE - READABLE FC94
This Agreement is entered into effective as of the date last signed by
both parties ( "Effective Date "), by and between OCLC Online Computer Library
Center, Incorporated, 6565 Frantz Road, Dublin, Ohio 43017 -0702 ("OCLC") and
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California
92663 ( "Institution ").
The Institution and OCLC desire to process and convert catalog records
representative of the Institution's collection, as defined in this Agreement.
Therefore, OCLC and the Institution hereby agree to the following:
Section 1. Definitions.
1.1 "Catalog records" means the bibliographic description of certain
items contained in the Institution's collection, including the
Institution's holdings and location information. Such items are more
fully described in the Specifications defined in Section 1.5 of this
Agreement.
1.2 "Catalog record media" or "media" mean the form(s) in which the
catalog records are represented, including cards and book catalogs.
1.3 "To Process" or "processing" mean the operation (i) of searching the
COW Online Union Catalog for a match, as defined in the
Specifications, for each catalog record provided by the Institution,
and (ii) if no match is found, of determining if there are sufficient
bibliographic data on the catalog record to create and enter a new
record in the OCLC Online Union Catalog based on the catalog record,
according to then current OCLC cataloging standards. If, after a
catalog record has been processed by OCLC, Institution later returns
that catalog record to OCLC (with or without additional bibliographic
data) for reprocessing, a separate unit charge under Section 4.1 of
this Agreement shall be billed to the Institution.
1.4 "To convert" or "conversion" mean the operations (i) of entering or
editing on the OCLC Online Union Catalog certain bibliographic data
(including the Institution's holdings and location information and
any OCLC- assigned holdings symbols) with respect to each catalog
record for which a match is found during processing, and (ii) unless
provided otherwise in the Specifications, of entering and creating a
new record in the OCLC Online Union Catalog, based on each catalog
record for which no match is found during processing (if determined
during processing to be possible), which new record shall include
bibliographic data, the Institution's holdings and locations
information, and any OCLC- assigned holdings symbols, in accordance
with then current COW cataloging standards.

processing and conversion on or about 1986 February
and shall exert its reasonable best efforts to complete the
processing and conversion of catalog records not later than by
1986 June 30
3.2.1. Unless provided otherwise in the Specifications, OCLC shall

OCLC /MARC tape subscription service, the Institution may, at its
option, either (i) separately contract with OCLC under the terms
of that service (including separate, additional charges, and the
limited warranty provided under the service), to acquire
machine - readable copies of converted catalog records (or portions
of such catalog records), with machine- readable copies of the
Institution's current cataloging, directly from OCLC, or (ii)

written notice of any election under subparagraph (ii), of this
Section 3.3, which notice shall serve to authorize OCLC to
provide machine - readable copies of converted catalog records to
such Network as part of the OCLC multi- institution tape to that

terminate, unless terminated earlier under Section 6.8 of this
Agreement.
6.2. This is the complete, final and exclusive statement of the

6.11. If any legal action is necessary to enforce any provision hereof
or for damages by reason of an alleged breach of any provisions

I. Preamble
OCLC members share a common goal in enhancing re-
source sharing locally, regionally, nationally, and inter -
nationally. These members, both general and Users
Council members, believe a strong, mutually supportive
community, with clear commitments to the continuing
viability of the database, will accomplish this goal. The
aim of this statement of principles and guidelines on the
transfer of OCLC- Derived Machine - Readable Records to
third parties is to help assure the protection of each
member's rights and to encourage the continued growth
of the OCLC international database, the construction of
which has been facilitated by and for the library com-
munity.
In order to assure the continued growth and mainte-
nance of the OCLC database, members should recognize
the need to maintain OCLC's financial strength. This
document recognizes that uses of the OCLC database
have broad social and economic benefits which can
only continue through equally strong commitments of
its members. Such commitments should include respon-
sible use of the database not only by members them-
selves, but also by nonmembers who wish to enjoy
benefits from the database. Set forth below are princi-
ples and guidelines to be applied in connection with the
transfer of records to third parties as these terms are de-
fined in Part 11 of this document.
II. Definitions
A. Member means (i) a general member of OCLC as de-
fined in its Code of Regulations and (ii) an OCLC-
affiliated regional, State or multi -State library net-
work organization which has contracted with OCLC
to provide OCLC services and products, or to assist
OCLC to provide such services and products, to gen-
eral members of OCLC. Membership in OCLC refers
to the status of being a Member.
B. Third Party means an entity or person other than
OCLC and other than a Member.
C. Records means machine- readable bibliographic rec-
ords and holdings data stored on OCLC MARC Sub-
scription tapes, Local Database Creation tapes and /or
MICROCON Program output tapes (and records
which, although available through such tape serv-
ices, are acquired by electronic transfer from OCLC),
together with derivative works made from them.
However, Records do not include, as to any Mem-
ber, (i) bibliographic records designated in the OCLC
database as original cataloging by such Member and
(ii) bibliographic records derived by such Member
from sources other than the OCLC database and to
which Its holdings symbol has been attached by
tapeloading. Such excluded records, together with
OCLC-derived records in eye- readable form (includ-
ing microform records) are freely transferable to
Third Patties and arc not dealt with in these Princi-
ples and Guidelines.
D. The Transfer of Records to Third Parties means all
sales, exchanges, gifts, sharing and other transfers,
and all online access to Records by Third Parties ex-
cept end -user patrons of a library in authorized pos-
session of the Records.
E. Cataloging means the process of preparing biblio-
graphic records in eye - readable or machine - readable
form for a library catalog, including the use of pre-
existing, machine - readable records in a centralized
or local system to identify and describe library mate-
rials, and the attachment to such pre - existing records
of holdings symbols by which the cataloging institu-
tion is identified. However, holdings symbols may
be attached by an institution to a pre - existing
machine- readable record without constituting
Cataloging when such attachment is made solely to
inform other participants in an interlibrary loan sys-
tem that the item is held by the institution.
III. Principles
Guidelines to be used in determining the appropriate-
ness of Transfers of Records to Third Parties have been
established in accordance with the following principles:
A. Protection and enrichment of the OCLC database for
the benefit of the OCLC membership and the library
world in general is both necessary and desirable.
Third Parties who receive copies of Records should
normally reciprocate by making their records and
holdings available to the membership through the
OCLC database, subject to the terms and conditions
in these Principles and Guidelines.
B. Protection of the OCLC database is best achieved by
means of specific language in contracts with users
and with Members.
C. Contracts between OCLC or Members and Third Par-
ties will normally provide for appropriate compensa-
tion to OCLC, financial or otherwise, for the use of
Records.
D. OCLC will not invoke copyright against any Mem-
bers with which contracts have been executed which
include protective language dealing with the Trans-
fer of Records to Third Parties, but OCLC reserves
Its right to invoke copyright against uses by Third
Parties not authorized by OCLC under the Guidelines
below or under separate agreement.
E. Net revenue from licenses or other contractual
agreements for use of the database outside the regu-
10
lar OCLC services income will be used for enhancing
the OCLC database on behalf of the membership and
the library community.
F. The OCLC membership agrees that it shares the re-
sponsibility for negative economic consequences to
OCLC resulting from the Transfer of Records within
established guidelines.
IV. Guidelines for Transfer of
Records to Third Parties
The following guidelines will be used for the Transfer of
Records to Third Panics:
A. Members may Transfer Records to Third Panics in
the following instances, without the consent or
agreement of OCLC, provided OCLC has been in-
formed in writing (ATTENTION: OCLC Database
Committee) about the programs under which the
Transfers will be made:
1. Members may contribute their Records to non-
commercial, machine- readable union catalogs ac-
cessible both by the contributing Members and
Third Parties, provided that:
(i) such catalogs are not used to offer services
or products which are the same as or similar
to ones then being offered by OCLC, except
that any such catalog may be used to support
a State -wide program and one or more local
programs which are the same as or similar to
the OCLC Interlibrary Loan Subsystem,
provided that the Third Party participants
that join such programs after August 1, 1985,
or Member participants that become Third
Party participants after that date, agree to
provide OCLC copies of the bibliographic
holdings and unique titles which they use to
create and maintain the alterative database,
in cases where it is determined under Part V -B
below that the records of such Third Parties
would enhance the OCLC database or re-
source sharing. The provision of records to
the OCLC database under the terms of this
paragraph IV- A -I-(i) shall be voluntary for B
those Third Parties that are members of such
programs as of August 1, 1985.
(ii) the Third Parties to whom access is provided
first sign an agreement with the contributing
Member(s), including an express commit-
went to OCLC as a third -party beneficiary,
that the Records will not be used for Catalog-
ing or to offer products or services which
are the same as or similar to those offered by
OCLC, and will not be Transferred to other
11
Third Palk (and a copy of the agreement is
furnished to OCLC); and
(iii) Members do not receive payments or other
consideration the value of which is in excess
of the cost to them of obtaining the con-
tributed Records from the OCLC database
and, in the case of derivative works, of
recasting, transforming or adapting the Rec-
ords as obtained.
The holdings and titles of each Third Party that
are required to be provided to OCLC in accor-
dance with the provisions of clause (i) above, will
be provided semi - annually on magnetic tape
(with content and format documentation), for ad-
dition to the OCLC database at a charge to the
Third Party equal to OCLC's then - current price
for loading such records, but in no event more
than OCLC's then - current price for loading the
cataloging records of its tapCloadIng members.
Magnetic tapes submitted shall be technically ac-
ceptable input products for loading into the
OCLC database.
If there is a reasonable likelihood that the pay-
ments or other consideration received by a Mem-
ber for use of its Records by Third Parties will ex-
ceed the cost referred to in clause (iii) above of
the Records, then the prior approval of OCLC is
required. If there is no such likelihood, but in
fact such payments or consideration received or
accrued in a fiscal year do exceed such costs,
then the Member will so inform OCLC, and a
mutually satisfactory arrangement with OCLC
will be negotiated.
2. A Member may submit its Records to a Third
Party for processing for any purpose sought by
Member provided that such Third Party has first
signed an agreement with the Member (in a form
approved by OCLC and with a copy furnished to
OCLC) that the Third Party will not (without the
consent of OCLC and the Member) copy or use
the Records except to carry out the work con-
tracted for, it will not Transfer the Records to
other Third Parties and it will return the Records
upon completion of the work.
For instances not within Part IV -A above, prior
agreement with OCLC is needed for the Transfer of
Records to Third Parties. In coming to an agreement,
OCLC will take account of any or all of the follow-
ing factors that may, in its opinion, be appropriate.
The sequence of such factors does not indicate an
order of priority.
• The number of Records to be Transferred to Third
Parties.
• The purposr for which Records are to be used by
the transferee.
• The nature, size and number of 0d Parties that
will use the Records.
• The relationship of the Third Party to the Mem-
bers making the Transfer of Records.
• The amount, if any, of compensation to the Mem-
ber for access to and use of the Records.
• The economic implications of the Transfer of the
Records; for example, to what extent is OCLC ad-
versely affected or the recipient benefitted?
• The extent and the nature of the benefit to OCLC
and its Members from the Transfer of Records to
and their use by the Third Party; for example, to
what extent will holdings information and unique
tides be added to the OCLC database?
• Since it is OCLC's intention to foster and encour-
age resource sharing projects, the return benefits
to OCLC in such cases will reflect more liberal
terms.
• The eligibility of the Third Party to be Member of
OCLC.
C. Upon termination of its Membership in OCLC, a
Member may retain, use and Transfer its Records to
Third Parties, subject to the provisions of its con-
tract with OCLC or an OCLC - affiliated network and
to these guidelines, as such guidelines may have
been amended to the date of such termination.
V. Handling Requests and Appeals
A. OCLC management will establish a Database Com-
mittee of OCLC staff members to consider and re-
spond promptly to routine requests of Members con-
cerning Transfers of Records to Third Parties
according to these Principles and Guidelines.
B. The initial decision under Part IV- A -1 -(i) above as to
whether the records of a Third Party participant in a
program which is the same as or similar to the OCLC
Interlibrary Loan Subsystem would enhance the
OCLC database or resource sharing will be made by
the OCLC Database Committee. In case of disagree-
ment by the Third Party with a decision by OCLC
that the records of the Third Party should be submit-
ted for loading, OCLC will consult with a representa-
tive of the state library agency of the state in which
the Third Piny is resident, and a librarian from an
institution located in the same network or service
center territory as the Third Party and appointed by
the network or service center as to whether the rec-
ords involved would enhance the OCLC database or
resource sharing. A majority decision of the three
members of the consulting group will be foul and
binding upon OCLC and the Members who are con-
tributing Records to the alternative interlibrary loan
database, and will OX subject to further review
under Pan V -C below.
C. Disagreements may arise regarding the interpretation
of these guidelines. In the event a disagreement has
not been resolved within a period of six months by
bona fide negotiation and discussion between OCLC
and a Member, the Member may appeal to the OCLC
Users Council for resolution unless the dispute is the
subject of current or past litigation. The Users Coun-
cil president will appoint three Users Council
delegates to meet with two persons appointed by the
President of OCLC and two persons appointed by
the Member to hear the issue. A majority decision of
the seven- member panel will be final and binding on
both parties. Each party to the agreement will be re-
sponsible for its own expenses in the appeal and the
expenses of the Users Council team will be borne
equally by both parties. In such an appeal, the duty
of the panel members is to apply these Principles
and Guidelines as they existed at the time the dis-
pute or disagreement arose.
VI. Maintaining the Currency
of the Guidelines
The OCLC Board of Trustees will establish a committee
to study issues and problems arising from the interpreta-
tion of these guidelines. The committee may recotn-
mend to the Board, from time to time, modifications to
the guidelines. The committee may also recommend
policies to the Board on additional mays to protect the
database and on the establishment of fees and licenses.
It is contemplated that the committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees will include representation from the
OCLC Board, OCLC Users Council, OCLC management
and the directors of OCLC- affiliated networks. How-
ever, the Board will seek the advice of the OCLC Users
Council and the network directors prior to determining
the exact composition of the committee. The committee
may invite others from the library and information com-
munity to assist in addressing specific policy issues.
VIL Modifications
With respect to any entity which is a party, either
directly or indirectly through an OCLC - affiliated net-
work, to a contract with OCLC which references or in-
corporates this document, this document may be modi-
fied by the OCLC Board of Trustees, after consultation
with the committee established under Part VI above,
upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice by OCLC to
the other party or parties to the contract.

1. OCLC and the Institution agree, for the purpose of this project, that
records in the OCLC Online Union Catalog and records represented by the
Institution's shelf -list cards are to be considered a match if all of the
following elements match. However, if any of the following elements is
missing from the Institution's shelf -list card, records will still be
considered a match if all the other elements match.
a. Type of record ("Type" in the fixed field) must match.
b. Bibliographic level ( "Bib lvl" in the fixed field) must match.
c. Form of reproduction ("repr" in the fixed field and /or in the note
area) must match when applicable.
d. Title proper (245 field, subfield a) must match.
However, in the case of a conference publication, two records are to
be considered matching if the variation in title is, for example,
"Proceedings" vs. "Proceedings of the conference on ...", provided that
all the other applicable elements identified in this item #1 match and
that the conference name appears in the title, main entry, or added
entry of both records.
In the case of literary works, two records are to be considered match-
ing if the author's name is an integral part of the title in one
record, such as "Collected works of William Shakespeare ", and is not in
the other record, such as "Collected works" but appear in the form of
main entry, provided that all the other applicable elements identified
in this item #1 match.
e. Edition statement, if any (250 field, subfield a), must match.
However, if one record has "1st ed. ", and the other record does not,
the records are to be considered a match if all the other applicable
elements identified in this item #1 match.
"Rev. ed." and "2nd ed." are to be considered the same edition if all
the other applicable elements identified in this item #1 match.
If one record has an edition statement in brackets, and the other
record does not have an edition statement, the records are to be
considered a match if all the other applicable elements identified in
this item #1 match.
Do not use edition statement as one of the matching criteria for titles
with an European (other than United Kingdom) and South American
imprint.
Page 13
0 0
f. Publisher (260 field, subfield b) must match.
However, when one record gives one publisher and the other record gives
more than one publisher, the records are to be considered a match if
the only publisher in one record matches one of the publishers in the
other record, and if all the other applicable elements identified in
this item 11 match.
When one record omits the publisher statement because it is the same as
the main entry, whereas the other record gives a publisher statement
which matches the main entry of the other record, the records are to
be considered a match if all the other applicable elements identified
in this item #1 match.
When one record has [s.n.] and the other record gives a printer state-
ment, the records are to be considered a match if all the other appli-
cable elements identified in this item 11 match.
g. Imprint date (260 field, subfield c) must match.
However, when one record has both copyright date and publication date,
whereas the other record has only one date, the records are to be
considered a match if the only date in one record matches either date
in the other record, e.g. "1968" vs. "1970, 0968" and if all the other
applicable elements identified in this item #1 match.
When one record indicates no date, e.g. [n.d.], and the other record
gives a date in brackets, e.g. [1905] or [1900 ?], the records are to be
considered a match if all the other applicable elements identified in
this item #1 match.
Since different printings of the Z= edition share the same biblio-
graphic record, records with a variance of imprint date within three
years are to be considered a match if all the other applicable
elements identified in this item #1 match.
However, when two records have different copyright dates, they are IIQt
to be considered a match if the copyright date is 1977 or earlier.
When one record has an open date, e.g. "1970- ", and the other
record has closed multiple dates, e.g. "1970 -78 ", they are to be
considered a match if the beginning date and all the other applicable
elements identified in this item #1 match. If the Institution has
pencilled in an ending date, disregard that ending date.
When two records represent a co2y of thesis or dissertation in the
same medium (photocopy or microform) from the same commercial producer
(e.g. University Microfilms), they are to be considered a match if all
the other applicable elements identified in this item #1 match except
Page 14
that the date of reproduction differs. Since these are conies, dates
may vary from an earlier copy.
For scores and sound recordings, records are to be considered a match
when publisher's number matches even if imprint date does not match.
The publisher's number includes issue number, matrix number, plate
number, etc. and it appears in the 028 or 500 field for AACR2 records,
or in the 260 (scores) or 262 (sound recordings) field for pre -AACR2
records.
h. Extent of item - Arabic numeral only (300 field, subfield a) must
match.
However, if the number of pages in two records varies within 20 pages,
these two records are to be considered a match if all the other appli-
cable elements identified in this item #1 match.
When the number of volumes is open in one record, i.e. " v. ", and
closed in the other, e.g. 95 v.", these two records are to be consider-
ed a match if all the other applicable elements identified in this
item #1 match. If the Institution has pencilled in a volume number,
disregard that volume number.
When one record has x volumes, e.g. 9 v. ", and the other record has x
volumes in y, e.g. "3 V. in 1 0, they are considered to be nQ1i a match.
When one record gives a number of pages and the other record indicates
multiple volumes, OCLC will flag the shelf -list card for this title as
a problem card so that the Institution may look into the discrepancy.
When both records give a number of volumes, but the numbers of volumes
do not match, for example, 05 v." in one record, and 86 v." in the
other record, OCLC will flag the shelf -list card for this title as a
problem card so that the Institution may look into the discrepancy.
The following pairs of options for describing the number of pages/
volumes are to be considered describing the same bibliographic item.
Therefore, two records carrying different options in the pair are to
be considered a match if all the other applicable elements identified
in this item #1 match.
(1) "1 v. (various pagings)" matches a sequence of numbers of pages,
e.g. 058, 23, 76 p."
(2) "1 v. (unpaged)" matches a number of pages in brackets, e.g.
"[28] p."
Page 15
0 •
(3) "x v. in 1 ", e.g. 9 V. in 1" matches a sequence of x numbers of
pages, e.g. "215, 127, 208 p."
(4) "1 v. (unpaged)" matches an approximate number of pages, e.g.
"ca. 126 p."
However, 82 v. (paged continuously)" and "964 p." will be considered
to be Wt a match.
A CIP (Cataloging in Publication) record which lacks physical descrip-
tion area will be considered a match if all the other applicable
elements identified in this item 11 match. OCLC will edit the 300
field to match the card.
i. Do not use any OCLC record which contains a "DO NOT USE" note.
2. Selection of matching records for non - serial titles
When more than one matching record exists in the OCLC Online Union Catalog,
OCLC will select one record for conversion according to the following
priority, as determined by reviewing the 040 field:
a. LC -MARC record.
b. Member -input record, based on LC copy.
When there is more than one matching member -input record, based on LC
copy, choose the best record in terms of accuracy and completeness.
c. Member -input record, not based on LC copy.
When there is more than one matching member -input record, not based on
LC copy, choose the best record in terms of accuracy and completeness.
3. Definition of match for serial titles
OCLC and the Institution agree, for the purpose of this project, that
records in the OCLC Online Union Catalog and records represented by the
Institution's shelf -list cards are considered to be a match if the
following elements match.
a. Type of record ( "Type" in the fixed field) must match.
b. Bibliographic level must match, i.e. ■Bib lvl" in the fixed field must
be an "s ".
c. The OCLC record must be cataloged under successive entry, i.e. "S /L
ent" in the fixed field must be a "0 ".
d. The Institution's title - matches OCLC key title (222 field) .=,
The Institution's title matches OCLC title proper (245 field)
Including subtitle or additional title information when necessary 9L,
Page 16
0
The Institution's title matches OCLC varying forms of title
(212 or 246 field) =,
The Institution's title matches OCLC uniform title (130 or 240
field) .
A match shall be established if the above criteria are met and if the
only difference is in punctuations, articles, prepositions, and /or
conjunctions.
e. If the titles match, then the additional bibliographic data available
shall be compared (e.g. volume or issue numbering, dates of publica-
tion, etc.). OCLC shall establish a match where the bibliographic
data reasonably support that the two records being compared represent
the same bibliographic entity.
f. No match should be made to any OCLC record which is flagged "DO NOT USE
THIS RECORD ".
4. Selection of matching records for serial titles
When more than one matching record exists in the OCLC Online Union
Catalog, OCLC will select one record for conversion according to the
following priority, as determined by reviewing 042 field.
a. LC- or NLC- authenticated record (lc or nlc in 042 field).
b. Record with other authentication (042 field present; any code accept-
able, e.g., nsdp, isds /c, etc.).
c. Unauthenticated record. If there is more than one, choose the best in
terms of accuracy and completeness.
d. Choose only M record for each title being converted when there is a
match in the OCLC Online Union Catalog, regardless whether it is a
successive -entry or latest -entry record.
5. In the case of a dashed -on entry, OCLC will convert the main item on the
card in the same manner as any other title. In addition, OCLC will search
the OCLC Online Union Catalog for the dashed -on item. If a matching record
is located, OCLC will convert it with the call number assigned to the dash -
ed-on item. However, if a call number is not assigned to the dashed -on
item, OCLC will use the call number of the main item. If no matching
record is found in the OCLC Online Union Catalog for the dashed -on item,
OCLC will flag the card for further processing by the Institution
as OCLC can not create a new record for the dashed -on item based on the
limited cataloging information on the card.
Page 17
6. When a matching record is not located in the OCLC Online Union Catalog,
OCLC will create a new record, based on the Institution's catalog -
ing information, following OCLC Bibliographic Input Standards. OCLC will
change form of name headings to AACR2 when they are verifiable in the
online Name Authority File.
When creating a new record, OCLC will input all pertinent cataloging infor-
mation on the card. However, OCLC will code records input from LC- printed
cards as "Level I ", and records input from non -LC cards as "Level K ".
All subject headings on the Institution's shelf -list cards are LC subject
headings.
The preceding statements in this section 6 apply to the book collection
only. OCLC is not required, under this agreement, to create new records
for titles of the phonorecords, cassettes, cassettes kits, or periodicals
where there are no matches in the OCLC Online Union Catalog. These titles
either have not been cataloged, or have not been cataloged according to a
widely accepted cataloging rule.
7. Having located a matching record in, or when inputting a new record into
OCLC Online Union Catalog, OCLC will perform the following additional
tasks:
a. Enter the Institution's call number in an 092 field, based on the
following guidelines:
(1) The basic rule for entering the call number is to enter the call

SYNOPSIS JAN 13 19 80
RETROSPECTIVE CONVERSION PROJECT APPROVED
BACKGROUND: Newport Beach Public Library is currently proposing its operations to
be automated. A need assessment study has been completed already, and
the Library Board is planning to make a recommendation to the City.
PURPOSE: To convert the Library's (material) holdings information (presently on
catalog cards) to a computer readable format.
REASON: One of the pre- requisites for any automated system is to have the library
data changed into a format that the computer can read, so that the system
will be operable immediately upon its installation without the delay for
data conversion.
WHO WILL DO THE WORK: OCLC in Dublin, Ohio
METHOD: By shipping the Library Union Shelf -lists (library's inventory record)
to OCLC on a weekly basis. (5,000 cards each time)
PROJECT DURATION: February 1, 1986 - June 30, 1986
ESTIMATED NUMBER OF RECORDS TO BE CONVERTED: 30,000
UNIT COST PER RECORD: $1.40
ESTIMATED TOTAL COST: $42,000 (Reserved money already in the OCLC accounts,
Accumulated over a six -year period since 1979.)
RECOMMENDATIONS: Made by Joseph Matthews, Library Consultant.
LEGAL TERMS: Reviewed and approved by Carol A. Korade, Assistant City Attorney.
TECHNICAL SPECS
Reviewed and approved by Steven S. Chweh, Library Technical
Services Supervisor.
DEADLINE FOR CONTRACT SIGNING: January 15, 1986 (OCLC demands the signed
documents to be received by their office by this date to assure
their staff commitment for our project. Otherwise, our project
may be delayed.)
