'''Preliminary Data records''' (PDR), are MARC bibliographic records that have not been fully cataloged by a CCS cataloger.  They often contain incomplete bibliographic data, that may later be found to be incorrect.  Even if the data is completely accurate, a record is considered preliminary in the local database until a CCS cataloger has reviewed and verified the record with the item in hand, overlaying with an OCLC record if necessary.


'''Preliminary data records''' (PDRs), are either hand-keyed brief MARC records or imported OCLC records that have not been locally edited by a CCS cataloger. These records often contain incomplete bibliographic data (ISBN, Publisher’s number, title, author, edition, publisher, date, etc.) that may be later found to be incorrect.  Even if the data is completely accurate, a record is considered preliminary in the local database until a CCS cataloger has reviewed and verified the record and compared its access points with the item in hand.
PDRs may be entered into the CCS database in one of the following ways:
# Records are [[Input hand-keyed preliminary data records|hand-keyed]].

The 099 may be replaced with <code>099  VENDOR PRELIMINARY DATA RECORD</code> when the preliminary record was obtained from a vendor such as Baker & Taylor rather than being hand-keyed or imported from OCLC.  (Vendor preliminary data records must always be overlaid with a new record from OCLC when the item is cataloged.)

Items attached to PDRs can circulate only under the following circumstances:
# The record contains <code>099</code> with an indication of intent to upgrade to full MARC (e.g., <code>xxxmarc 20080430</code>)
* The record's 099 field indicates an intent to fully catalog at a later date (e.g. <code>nikmarc 20180417</code>)
# The item is to be checked out to an in-house user (e.g., Technical Services, Cataloging)
* The item is checked out to an in-house user (e.g. Technical Services Supervisor)
Preliminary data records also help CCS libraries maximize the benefits of cooperative cataloging within the consortium.  A library's symbol in the 099 field of a preliminary data record identifies the library that will take responsibility for providing a final bibliographic record that meets CCS standards.

Preliminary Data records (PDR), are MARC bibliographic records that have not been fully cataloged by a CCS cataloger. They often contain incomplete bibliographic data, that may later be found to be incorrect. Even if the data is completely accurate, a record is considered preliminary in the local database until a CCS cataloger has reviewed and verified the record with the item in hand, overlaying with an OCLC record if necessary.

PDRs may be entered into the CCS database in one of the following ways:

  1. Records are hand-keyed.
  2. Records are imported one at a time from OCLC using the Bibliographic Records Find Tool in Polaris.
  3. Records are imported from OCLC using Connexion.
  4. Records are imported from a vendor.

Libraries are encouraged to include OCLC numbers in PDRs whenever possible.[1]

The 099 field indicates a record is preliminary and still needs cataloging:

099  PRELIMINARY DATA

The 099 field may have VENDOR PRELIMINARY DATA RECORD instead if the record was obtained from a vendor such as Baker & Taylor rather than being hand-keyed or imported from OCLC, but the term "PRELIMINARY DATA" must be included.

Items attached to PDRs can circulate only under the following circumstances:

  • The record's 099 field indicates an intent to fully catalog at a later date (e.g. nikmarc 20180417)
  • The item is checked out to an in-house user (e.g. Technical Services Supervisor)
