Dear libraryfolk, we hope that you have been enjoying a restful
and pleasant summer. The fall semester
is not that far around the corner, however, and with it comes changes to the
way OCLC will be creating and delivering records.
Beginning September 1, 2013, OCLC’s Contract Cataloging
Services will begin creating WorldCat records for Naxos Music Library titles
using the RDA standard. This change is
in alignment with OCLC’s decision to adopt and support the RDA standard in
WorldCat overall. There is no need for your library to make changes to your
record delivery profile, and records will continue to be delivered as they are
presently.
If you would like more detailed information about RDA,
please click here. The FAQs page for OCLC and Naxos Music
Library here
will be updated soon to include further information about the new format and
the transition. If you have a question
about the change that is not answered there, you can also contact OCLC directly
at oclcmetadatacatsvcs@oclc.org.
As always, we here at Naxos Music Library are happy to serve
you any way we can. Happy listening!
