* If you find a hand-keyed Preliminary Data record and prefer to use a record from a vendor as a Preliminary Data record, you must overlay the existing hand-keyed record.  Be sure to change the Title control number in the Title control tab to the OCLC number of the overlaying record (preceded by a lower case “o”)

* To automatically create copies as part of the record load, have the vendor insert a 949 tag with the relevant item data and holding code, for example:
 
{{example|indent=1|text=949  ON ORDER 20020121 &Dagger;h LFKA &Dagger;p $[actual price] ''(Here LFKA is Lake Forest's holding code for Preliminary Data records.)''}}

* If you use an 099 field instead of a 999 field, then the record must also contain a 945 field with the text <code>OCLC DO NOT SET</code>.
* In Workflows, set up a separate Bib Load Report template (or, if you use the acquisitions module, a Bib Order Load Report template) for importing vendor preliminary data records.
:: In your template:
::* In the Update date cataloged box of the Selection Criteria tab on the Schedule New Reports use <code>NEVER</code>. Do not use <code>TODAY</code> for Preliminary Data records.
::* In the Default Holding Code box, use the Holding Code you set up for Preliminary Data records.

MARC records acquired from vendors may be used as Preliminary Data records for titles that are being ordered. They may not be used as final records, even if they contain an OCLC number. They must be overlaid by a record acquired from OCLC.

  • Make every effort not to create a duplicate Preliminary Data record. However, duplicate records are allowed if acquired from a vendor and it is not feasible to check for duplicates. Duplicates must be merged when discovered.
  • Include an 099 field with PRELIMINARY DATA or VENDOR PRELIMINARY DATA RECORD.
  • If possible, capitalize all letters in the 245 field. NOTE: Videogame records should have the videogame platform from the 753 field in parentheses after the title. See Software, computer games, and videogames for an example. This may need to be added to the record manually.
  • If possible, include 007/008/347/etc. for digital AV.
  • For combo packs or separated parts of combo packs, make sure that's indicated in the record.
  • If using 949/970/etc. to create items/POs/etc., make sure those fields are in the records.

Pre-order titles

Midwest Tape lists titles for purchase that are still running in the theaters and/or are a long way away from being ready for library use. For these, include the following: 

037 product ID #‡bMidwest Tape
500  This is a Coming Soon Title from Midwest Tape.  As such, this preliminary record does not have any identifying numbers such as OCLC number, UPC, or ISBN.

If you know whether it will be a "rental" edition, indicate that in a 250 field.

Note this means you may have to individually edit these "Coming Soon" records after you have loaded them.
