OCLC began loading original MARC records for BBC Audiobooks America titles in September 2006. Look for the symbol BBCAA in the 040 field subfield c to identify titles contributed by BBC Audiobooks America to WorldCat (for example, see #71435359 for an audiobook record and #71435369 for a video record). When a record from BBC Audiobooks America matches a record already in WorldCat, the BBCAA symbol is added in subfield d of the 040 field (for example, see #68098825).

In both cases of original records and matches, a 938 field is added to the MARC record that contains the vendor code BBCA. This code is indexed; vendor records are searchable using the vendor information keyword index. For a list of all partners contributing records through the Vendor Record Contribution Program, see www.oclc.org/partnerships/material/contribution/technical/default.htm.
