The encoding level of records is in the LDR (Leader) position 17. This code indicates the fullness of the bibliographic record. CCS member libraries are not required to use a specific encoding level for final records. However, a record with the encoding level of less than full can be overlayed by a full level record that is imported using a profile with duplicate detection rules that saves the record with the highest encoding level and rejects the record if the levels match. For example, if a final record has the encoding level of 8, m, or k, and another record has the level I or blank, the 8, m, or k will be overlaid by the I or blank level records.
