Register now for a free, live
webinar on Oct. 28 or Nov. 1 where
you'll learn more about the importance of creating a new WorldCat record
that distinguishes itself from others in the age of Duplicate Detection and
Resolution (DDR).
"When
to Input a New Record", a chapter contained in Bibliographic
Formats and Standards, provides a common basis for decision-making in the
creation of WorldCat records by member libraries. Now that automated
Duplicate Detection and Resolution (DDR) has been fully implemented in
WorldCat, it's more important than ever to know when to create a
bibliographic record that clearly distinguishes itself from similar ones
that describe different manifestations.
During
the webinar, you will also learn about safeguarding unique bibliographic
records to prevent them from merging via DDR.
Your presenter: Jay Weitz, MLS
