Guidelines for Editing PCC Bibs in WorldCat
These guidelines clarify what can be edited by NACO/SACO institutions and non-NACO/SACO institutions.
Best Practice: Adding missing ISBNs to existing WorldCat records
When Alliance catalogers find Network Zone records that lack ISBNs, the ISBNs should be added to the WorldCat master record.
Policy: Cataloging at the WorldCat Level
Due to the technical architecture of the Alma NZ, changes must be entered into the WorldCat bibliographic record or they will be lost when the Alma record is overlaid. By cataloging at the WorldCat level, Alliance members improve discoverability for all Alliance Primo users, not just their own users.
