OCLC Installs New Catalog Card Printing Systems
Users who receive catalog cards from OCLC may notice some recent changes. Cards produced from January 3 make use of system refinements that improve processing time, card quality and character representation.
Cards are now printed on better quality card stock and represent characters such as the double tilde, euro sign and high comma (centered and off-center) more accurately. Additionally, the new system now adds the characters authorized in the 2006 MARC Update (see Technical Bulletin 252), including spacing underscore, musical sharp and copyright mark.
