Preservation Actions, MARC 21 Field 583, and Communal Local Holdings Records in OCLC WorldCat

A white paper entitled, "Preservation Actions, MARC 21 Field 583, and Communal Local Holdings Records in OCLC WorldCat," is now available via the CONSER Web site. It discusses a proposal to record data on preservation actions and commitments for print serials. The collection of this data is necessitated by the trend in some libraries to discard print copies when online versions are available.
