CONSER catalogers transfer all fields that would be appropriate to the retained record, with the exception of proprietary fields.

Several CONSER members input data elements that are considered optional by the NLBNR-S but that are unique to the records of these participants. These elements should be added, by the CONSER cataloger performing the consolidation editing, to the selected record if they appear in the superseded records but not in the selected record. These data elements include the following:

GPO

GPO Item No.

 

086
