Users who want to display holdings will need to be able to configure the Element Set Name in their Z39.50 client. Element Set Name FD will display default holdings. Element Set Name FA will display all holdings. There will be a separate 948 field for each holding library. The 948 fields will display alphabetically by the library name.

Subfields in the 948 field will be as follows:

• Subfield a will contain the ISO country code.
• Subfield b will contain the U.S. state and Canadian province information. For all other countries the code in this field is not meaningful, so subfield b will not be included.
• Subfield c will contain the OCLC symbol.
• Subfield d will contain the library name.

OCLC has advised various local system vendors of this upcoming change.

Watch BCReview for an announcement of successful implementation after December 9.

Please contact Bethany Levrault (blevraul@bcr.org) or Linda Gonzalez (lgonzale@bcr.org) with any questions.

Vince will offer her personal insights and explain:

• Why The Claremont Colleges chose to create an institutional repository that combines digital collections, archives, teaching materials and scholarly communications.
• How they evaluated digital asset management software.
• Faculty collaboration and how it is working for individuals unfamiliar with library operations.
The impact the new digital library has made on the user community.

You'll also see new enhancements in the recent release of CONTENTdm. Find out what's been added and what those additions mean for your digital collection initiative.

OCLC experts will join Vince and share all the ways to use CONTENTdm to develop and disseminate your digital collections.

As of October 22, the following characters will be allowed in records contributed to the LC/NACO Authority File (see the code tables at www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/specchartables.html for encoding information):

• Spacing underscore
• Spacing grave
• Opening curly bracket
• Closing curly bracket
• Spacing tilde
• Degree sign
• Lower case script L
• Phono copyright mark
• Copyright mark
• Sharp
• Inverted question mark
• Inverted exclamation mark

Implementation of a few other newer characters is deferred at this time. A separate announcement will be made when the Eszett (continue to use ss per LCRI 1.0E) Euro Spacing circumflex may be used. The Library of Congress will work with OCLC to identify and convert existing NACO authority records using the number sign for the musical sharp and superscript zero for the degree sign.

These new characters may also now be found in LC-issued bibliographic records. As part of this implementation, LC has revised LCRI 1.4F5 — describing LC's practice for continued use of the letters c and p for the copyright and phono copyright symbols in 260 $c. For efficiency, LC's catalogers will generally follow this same practice in $a of authority 670 citations.

The Britannica Learning Zone is a new interactive PreK-2 learning environment that is part of Britannica Online School Edition. This online resource is designed specifically for young learners. Students can choose to from four options: Play, Explore, Read or Draw. Your students will find engaging and developmentally appropriate activities including an interactive atlas, learning games, engaging audio and video and effective vocabulary builders.

The Britannica Learning Zone teaches concepts such as letters, time, shapes, numbers, geography and reinforces relevant vocabulary, all in a fun and safe online environment. There is also an area where students can demonstrate their creativity and practice what they've learned.

You can access the Learning Zone from the main home page of Britannica Online School Edition or from the Britannica Elementary home page. See www.school.eb.com/learningzone/welcome/.

Although Swets has acquired the Web-based portal, the company maintains it will be 'business as usual' for existing customers of MPST. MPST will continue to gather and process the usage statistics. Customers will still access and utilize ScholarlyStats through the same portal, www.scholarlystats.com/, and the statistics will continue to be reported in the same format.

The ScholarlyStats Web-based portal eases a library's burden of collecting, consolidating and analyzing e-journal usage statistics from multiple sources.

Guest speakers at the session will be Dr. William Peniston, manager of the Library and Archives at The Newark Museum in New Jersey, and Mark Braden, catalog librarian at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Peniston and Braden will discuss how they address their cataloging issues: backlogs, limited resources, non-English titles, future collection acquisitions and more.

They'll explain:

• The challenges at their libraries
• Why they chose to outsource cataloging with OCLC
• What to look for and what to avoid when selecting a service
• How to create a process that works for your library
• Why it makes sense to outsource certain formats and materials

Don't miss this opportunity, sponsored by OCLC Custom Cataloging Services, to gain insights into contract cataloging that you can start applying to your library. Seating is limited, so please point your browser to www3.oclc.org/app/request/bin/request.asp?specialCode=CustomCatalogingPGFall2007 to register.

• As a service to teens and caregivers, the Teen Health & Wellness national teen Hotline directory has been made available to the general public. Anyone with Internet access can get answers and contact information when teens need help.

  According to Miriam Gilbert, Rosen director of Electronic Sales and Marketing, "Our editors have compiled and continue to maintain a list that covers over a dozen areas where teens may need help immediately — depression, teen pregnancy or school violence, as examples — with national toll-free numbers that any teen in need can use to connect to the appropriate agency." The Hotline directory can be found at: www.teenhealthandwellness.com/static/hotlines.

• Subscribers to Teen Health & Wellness will now have the opportunity to allow their users to submit a question to online expert, Dr. Jan, for consideration and response.

• As a service to subscribers, Rosen Publishing has also introduced a Teen Health & Wellness Customer Newsletter.

A policy outlining provider neutral records is envisioned to lead to fewer records representing the same remote electronic resource distributed by different providers.

Please send any comments to Les Hawkins (lhaw@loc.gov) or Peter Fletcher (pfletcher@library.ucla.edu) by October 31.

Originally intended to be an appendix to the 2002 AACR2 rule revisions, Differences Between, Changes Within evolved into a stand-alone document that supplements current descriptive cataloging rules by providing information about creating new records or updating existing records.

The document helps guide the cataloger in determining whether the item in hand can be cataloged with existing copy or requires a new bibliographic record. General guidelines are followed by specific guidelines for manifestation-level records for single-part monographs, multipart monographs, integrating resources and serials. The text describes what constitutes a major difference between manifestations, requiring the creation of an original record, as well as detailing major changes within a serial manifestation that would lead to the creation of a new record. In addition, guidance is also provided to identify minor changes that would not require a new bibliographic record, but might necessitate updating an existing record.

This new 2007 edition reflects changes through the final set of amendments to AACR2, which were issued in 2005. Some guidelines have been changed and some removed. All rule references have been verified and updated wherever necessary.

To download your PDF copy of Differences Between, Changes Within, direct your browser to www.ala.org/ala/alctscontent/alctspubsbucket/webpublications/cataloging/newrecord/differences.htm.

Contact BCR's Stephanie Jauregui at sjauregu@bcr.org to sign up to attend the BCR showing, 10-11:30 Mountain Time.

"Finding the Trends that Matter: Getting Your Environmental Scan On" focuses on high-level trends in business and economy and how these trends can impact your local library — even if it seems they are quite remote from your routine practices.

The agenda for the Web session will be:

• High-level Overview of Reports
• Your Questions
• Running an Offline Report
• Upcoming Advancements and Updates

Seats for the session are limited. Individuals from the same institution who can share a LiveMeeting seat using a single PC and speakerphone are asked to register just one person for the session to allow as many institutions as possible to participate.

Profile Sharing — Authorized users can now share a user-friendly, read-only profile page with partners and co-workers. This page can be bookmarked or included in other pages and allows for a secure way to share a profile.

Library Information Edits — OCLC will now automatically update information about your library in the Open WorldCat interface based on the changes in the WorldCat Registry. The changes are available 24 hours after submission for the following links. These links can be viewed in the "Libraries" display tab when your institution has holdings attached to a bibliographic record:

• Library Information link
• Book Catalog Links, including deep links
• Virtual Reference/Ask a Librarian link
• OpenURL Resolver link

OpenURL Page Enhancements — The "Add OpenURL Resolvers" entry page now includes asterisks (*) to denote which fields are required in order to set up "link resolver" servers in your library's WorldCat Registry profile. Select "OpenURL Resolvers" from the sidebar after logging in to access this feature. The IP addresses on this page are now prepopulated from the "Services-IP Addresses" page and can be edited. Upon submitting an edit, a "warning" message is now shown before the edit is made. Data from this page is also now available when downloading your institution's data via XML.

Interested in learning more about the WorldCat Registry? Visit worldcat.org/webservices/registry/xsl/about.

Every day, the Bibliographic Record Notification service compares all upgraded OCLC MARC records to the records your library has holdings attached to, and then sends you upgraded records based on a detailed profile that tells OCLC what updates are important to you. You receive new records by Data Exchange (EDX) or download them from the OCLC Product Services Web, then load the upgraded records into your system. Reports summarizing the type of upgrades and quantity of records being delivered are also available.

The Bibliographic Record Notification records are delivered in a separate file from your CatExpress records. The Bibliographic Record Notification records do not count toward overage on your CatExpress subscription and are not included in the statistics on your CatExpress activity reports.

For more detailed information go to www.oclc.org/bibnote/default.htm.

"Finding the Trends that Matter: Getting Your Environmental Scan On," focuses on high-level trends in business and economy and how these trends can impact your local library — even if it seems they are quite remote from your routine practices.

Sign-up today for the newsletter at forms01.britannica.com/help/schoolnewsletterform.html.

The enhancements include the following:

• New reason for "No" — Users will find a new reason for "No" as a response to borrowers available from the drop-down menu. "Not licensed to fill" should be used to better define unfilled requests that the library may own, but cannot fill due to contractual obligations (such as for electronic resources).
• Changes in how "Not found as cited" is handled — Requests that are marked "Not found as cited" will be automatically rerouted back to the requesting library as "Unfilled." By not routing the request to additional lenders in the lender string, turnaround time for incorrectly cited requests should be reduced.
• Shipping labels available for individual requests — It is now possible to print shipping labels while individual requests are processed as well as through batch functionality by selecting the "Print Shipping Labels" checkbox while updating the request. After updating the request, click "Printing" in the menu bar to see the Mailing Labels print button.

Three fixes have also been installed:

• The ability to view 20, 50, 75 or 99 requests in a given category is now persistent when users move from category to category.
• Users are now able to search the archive with the closed date as their search guide.
• When a value was present in both the "Ship To" field and in the "Electronic Delivery" field in the ILL request form, some users were not able to update these requests. This was due to an error in coding and has been corrected.

Additional information can be accessed on OCLC's WorldCat Resource Sharing Web page.

Register by visiting www3.oclc.org/app/request/bin/request.asp?specialCode=WCA07Oct25 or the OCLC WCA home page. The session also will be recorded and distributed to all registrants.

When first published in 2005, Capitalism as if the World Matters, by one of the leading eco-warriors of our time, shocked both a generation of environmentalists and a generation of business people by brushing aside their petty squabbles and artificial battle lines with a powerful argument — that the only way to save the world from fuel shortages, climate change and environmental catastrophe is to embrace a new type of capitalism, and to do it quickly.

New material includes in-depth coverage of the United States and the politics of climate change, the state of environmental debate and the massive upsurge in religious engagement with climate and the environment. Fresh case studies include the role of huge U.S. corporations such as Walmart and General Electric in our sustainable capitalist future. Porritt also looks in-depth at China and the global impact this economic giant may have as it grows into the most environmentally damaging — or perhaps the first sustainable — superpower of the 21st century.

Destined to be one of the most important business, economics and politics books of the year, this is a must read for everyone from business executives to environmental activists to students to the very politicians with their hands on the levers of power.
