Local Practices Macro

To make it easier for you to consistently follow CCS local practices we recommend using the Local Practices Macro in OCLC Connexion. The following actions are accomplished by using the macro:

Deletions

• 020 subfield z for e-resources in print records
• Punctuation in the 257 field
• Unapproved subject and genre headings
• "Junk" tags
• Tags containing DLC in a subfield 5
• 710s for common audiobook publishers

Additions

• Subfield q before ISBN qualifiers
• 340 field for large type, microfilm, and braille
• 347 field for sound and video recordings
• 655 field for Bilingual books
• 753 field for video game platforms
• 380 & 655 fields for Electronic books

Replaces

• Relator codes with relator terms
• Bracketed pages with unnumbered
• "ACLEP" with "Playaway audio" or "Playaway video"

Messages A message box will pop-up when a record contains an untraced series or when a record is a parallel record.
