ABSTRACTThree reports describe the standards and format to be
used when contributing bibliographic records to MELVYL, theUniversity of California (UC) online library catalog. The firstreport, which was revised and approved in May 1990, defines recordformat standards, record maintenance information standards,bibliographic fields, local data fields, relationship ofbibliographic and holdings records, transaction tapes, tapefrequency, backup or input by submitting library, changing to a newsystem for MELVYL input, tape characteristic standards, and characterset standards. The second report, which was approved in revised formin July 1988, defines the minimum data elements required forinclusion of a cataloging rec in the UC union catalog. The thirdreport, prepared by Karen Coyle and revised in June 1991, focuses onthe MELVYL catalog local data format, including a description ofrecord structure, diagrams of catalog records, a detailad list ofdata fields, and local data fields. Examples that illustrate thenormalization of variable data formats are included. (KRN)

STANDARD FOR UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAUNION CATALOG INPUT RECORDS
The Standard for Univer.sity of California Union Catalog Input Records defines the stan-dards for libraries to follow when contributing records to the llIELVYLO catalog. Thedocument addresses such areas as record format, required maintenance data, local dataformat, and tape requirements for records submitted to the catalog. The original versionof this standard was approved by Library Council, September 12, 1984. The standard wassubsequently revised and approved by Library Council on May 21, 1990.
1. FORMAT STANDARDS
Users submitting records to DLA can select one of the four MARC-based formatstandards listed below.
1.1 OCLC Standard
All data is represented according to the specifications established by OCI,C for inputof data and output on archive tapes. Users selecting this option must also follow theseparately established LW standards for OCLC input. (Sec Standard for OCLC Input tothe University of California Union Catalog, [Oakland: Division of Library Automation,University of California, 19841.)
1.2 RUIN Standard
All data is represented according to the specifications established by RLIN for inputof data and output on archive tapes. Users selecting this option must also fellow theseparately established IJC standards for RLIN input (to be established).
1.3 USMARC Standard
All bibliographic data is represented according to the specifications in (ISM/1 R(' Formatfor Bibliographic Data (Washington, D.C.: Network Development and MARC StandardsOffice, Library of Congress). Local data is coded according to USHARC Format forHoldings Data (Washington, D.C.: Network Development and MARC Standards Office,Library of Congress).
Page 2 Technical Report No. 1
1.4 D LA Input Format Standard
All bibliographic data is represented according to the specifications in USA1,4 RC Formatfor Bibliographic Data. Local data is coded according to a DLA-defined extension ofthe MARC format for local data contained in the technical report Record Format for theillELVTI,® Catalog (Oakland: Division of Library Automation, University of California,1991).
2. RECORD MAINTENANCE INFORMATION STANDARD
Maintenance is performed on records in the MELVYL catalog based on their mainte-nance key (unique record identification number) and their date stamp (version identifi-cation). An incoming record can only update a record in the database with a matchingrecord identification number and a later version identification date. If the incoming recordhas the same version identification or an earlier version identification than the databaserecord, no update takes place,
2.1 Record Identification
Each record must have a record identification number from the system where it was input.This number is used in the ME1YY1, catalog to control update transactions. No recordon the MFLVYL catalog can be updated except by a record with a matching recordidentification number.
To be cd for this purpose, the record identification number must have the followingchara .!ristics:
The number must be unique within the originating system.
If the number itself is not unique, then the record must contain other informationthat can be used to create a unique key. For example, the OCI.0 number is uniqueonly with the addition of the library identifier or location code.
The number should not change over the life of the record.
IF it does change, there must be a way to record the original number in the record.
The record must contain unambiguous information identifying the system of origin.
This information is best conveyed as part of the identification number.
Standard for Input Records Page 3
The record identification number must be in a standard field.
For most input sources, the record identification number should he communicatedin the MARC 001 field. Alternatively, it can be communicated in the DIA-defined901 field, followin the specifications for the format of that field (see Record Formatfor the MELVY I- Catalog).
2.2 Record Identification Across Systems
Inputting libraries that move from one technical processing system to another mustmaintain the record identification number from the original system and any otherinformation required to link records from the current system to the record previouslyinput to the ME1NYL catalog. Fields have been defined in OC1,C, RUN and otherrecord structures for this purpose. 'MA will provide specifications for any system needingto use these fields.
2.3 Version Identification
Each version of a record must he identified by a date carried in either the MARC 005 fieldor the DI,A-defined 902 field. The date must he in the ANSI standard format described inthe MARC: documentation for the 005 field. The specificity of the date depends entirelyon how the system creates output files:
In a system that writes only "snapshots" of changed records, where each record canappear only once on a given the date portion of the field is all that needs tobe filled in. Remaining positions (time of day) are zero. The date can either be thelatest update to the record, or the date of the creation of the tape.
Where transactions are written at the time updates take place on the system, and arecord can appear multiple times on an input tape, the date field must include dateand time of day of the actual record update.
2.4 Delete Records
Delete records must he indicated by the STATI IS code in the MARC leader, status "d."Because deleting of database records is based on the record maintenance information andnot the bibliographic data, the incoming delete record does not need to have the samebibliographic data content as the record it deletes in the database. Currently, however,the delete record must contain a minimum set of bibliographic fields: 008, 245, 260, 300.It must also contain location and call number information.
Page 4 Technical Report No. 1
3. BIBLIOGRAPIIIC FIELDS
All bibliographic fields, in the range 007. 899, must follow the LISMARC, format.Variations in these fields as implemented by °CIA: and RIAN can he accommodatedin the RUIN and OCLC input streams. Other variations must he negotiated with D1,Abefore data carrying those fields can be sent.
Records should. contain at least the bibliographic fields required by the Standard forBrief Machine-Readable Bibliographic Records for the University of California Libraries(Oakland: Division or Library Automation, tlniversity of California, 1988). Recordsthat do not meet the standard may. he rejected during preprocessing.
4. LOCAL DATA FIELDS
4.1 Format
Local data must follow one or four formats: OCLC, RUIN, USMARC or DLA recordFormat. Each of these Formats defines specific fields and subfields for the recording oflocation and call number information, as well as local notes, copy-level information,and other processing information. For Full details on the formation of the OCLC andRIAN local data fields, consult that utility's documentation. Further information on theI:SM A RC format can he found in USMI4RC Rwmat.for Holdings Data. DLA format ispresented in Record Format for the AMLVYLO Catalog.
4.2 Location and Call Number
Each incoming record must contain at least one valid location code and a correspondingcall number. Where call numbers may not he present, arrangements can be made ForDLA to insert the constant "No call number" in the appropriate field.
Location codes must be no more than 10 characters in length, and have to be enteredOnto a master table of location codes at DLA before records containing that code canhe processed. With each location code, the following information must be provided:
campus
cataloging unit
primary location (maximum 9 characters)
secondary location(s) (variable length)
1Standard for Input Records Page 5
For OCLC input, with each location code it is also necessary to provide:
subject heading selection (LC, NI,M, etc.)
call number selection profile
4.3 Level of Reporting
Holdings should be reported at location level, ignoring multiple copies except wherethese have different locations or functions. For example "Copy I in stacks, Copy 2 inreference" would he reported as two locations. Libraries must not send separate locationstatements For multiple copies in the same location.
4.4 Other Local Data
Systems often carry nonhibliographic information related to functions like circulationand acquisitions. This data should not be transmitted in the MF,LVVI, input record.
5. RELATIONSHIP OFBIBLIOGRAPHIC AND HOLDINGS RECORDS
Each cataloging unit should submit a single bibliographic record for each bibliographicentity (usually a title) held, with all holdings carried in that bibliographic record or inlinked holdings format records.
6. TRANSACTION TAPES
Transaction tapes should include only those update records that will result in changesto the union catalog record. For example, circulation, check-in, or payment transactionsshould not result in output to the M FLVYL catalog, but update of a heading or changeof location should.
7. TAPE FREQUENCY
Input tapes must be produced on a regular schedule (i.e., weekly, hi- weekly, monthly).Any anticipated schedule changes must be reported in advance.
Page 6 Technical Report No. I
8. BACKUP OF INPI1T BY SUBMITTING LIBRARY
A tape sent to DLA may be unreadable or lost in transit. Therefore the submitting librarymust he able to provide a copy of the tape, to recreate the original tape, or to includethe missing records as part of a later tape. Replacement for tapes must he available upto three weeks after the original tape creation date.
9. CHANGING TO A NEW SYSTEMFOR MELVYL CATALOG INPUT
To establish a new input source, a library must submit tape specifications to DIA.DI.A will review the specifications and work with the campus to eliminate any obviousproblems. Once specifications arc agreed on, the campus systems office or vendor willproceed with the necessary development, if any, to produce output records meeting thespecifications. During tire development of output capability, test output records shouldbe produced and reviewed by the campus to verily that specifications arc being met.Debugging of output programs is the responsibility of the campus. After the campus issatisfied that the output is being produced correctly, a test tape is sent to DI,A where itwill be run through DI,A input programs designed in line with the specifications. Whenthe test tape runs successfully, dates for start-up of the new input stream will he workedout jointly.
10. TAPE CIIARACTERISTIC STANDARD
All tapes must be') -track and 1600 or 6250 BP1, or IBM 3480 cartridge.
10.1 ASCII Standard
OCLC tape specifications for 9-track tape with extended 8 -hit ASCII.
JUIN tape specifications For 9-track tape with extended 8 -hit ASCII.
tape specifications for 9-track tape with extended 8 -hit ASCII.
IBM record format 11 with RLOCKS1' /F not greater than 32,767. The tape mayuse either ANSI standard or IBM standard labels.
Standard for Input Records Page 7
10.2 EBCDIC Standard
If records life provided in 1:13CD1C, they should use IBM standard labels with aIILKSIZH not greater than 32,767. EBCDIC tapes should have standard IBM formatsV, VII, or U.
11. CHARACTER SET STANDARD
11.1 OCLC Standard
Records must conform to the character set used by the OCLC MARC tape service.
11.2 RUN Standard
Records may adhere to the expanded 8-bit ASCII character set specifications for RLIN-produced archive tapes.
11.3 LC Standard
Tapes may be submitted in expanded 8-bit ASCII lor MARC records specified inHS.ILIRC Specifications for Record Structure, Character Sets, Tapes (Washington, 1).C.:Network Development and MARC Standards Office, Library of Congress, 1990).
11.4 DLA EBCDIC Standard

STANDARD FOR
BRIEF MACHINE-READABLE BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORDSFOR UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES
The Standard for Brief Machine-Readable Bibliographic Records for University of Califor-nia Libraries was originally approved by Library Council on November 7, 1984. It ha.s beenrevised twice since then and was mo.71 recently approved July 22, 1988.
1. OVERVIEW
The standard for brief bibliographic records defines the minimium data elements requiredfor inclusion of a cataloging record in the tiC union catalog. Although the standardspecifies the briefest record allowed in the system, it should be clearly understood thatspecifying a minimum in no way restricts the input of additional data. Records can beas complete as the inputting library wishes or can afford; however, all data provided inminimum records must be fully and correctly coded to MARC standards.
1.1 Use of Tag'. and Delimiters
All information present must be tagged and delimited according to MA RC definitions.
1.2 Indicators
The inclusion of indicators is optional unless specifically required in this standard. Theindicators required in the briefest acceptable record are given in Section 2. If additionalfields are provided beyond the minimum, indicators arc required as follows:
1. Nonfiling characters (1st or 2nd indicator): tag 240, 241, 242, 243, 440, 630, 730,740, 830, 840, and 873
2. Existence of pronoun (2nd indicator): tag 400, 410, and 411
3. Source of subject heading (2nd indicator): tag 600-651
For fields locally defined in OCI.C. or RUN, provide indicators when they have beendefined for the above items of information. For example, RIJN defines 690 indicator 2as source of subject heading.
Page 2 Technical Report No. 2
1.3 Form of Entry
The form of entry should follow the cataloging code in effect at the time the machine-readable record was created. However, it is recognized that this will not be possible forsome records.
1.4 Punctuation, Case, and Diacritics
Punctuation and use of upper- or lowercase letters should follow the provisions of thecataloging code in effect at the time the catalog record or machine-readable record wascreated. Inclusion of diacritics is required on records created after July 1, 1984, anddesirable if available for earlier records.
1.5 Mandatory and Desirable Data
When an item is defined as mandatory, it must be provided if it is available on the pieceor can he ascertained from an existing full- level catalog record. Extensive research isnot expected. For example, if I,CCN is not recorded on an item, ;t, is not necessary tocheck reference sources to see if an LCCN can be found. For desirable elements it isstrongly recommended that libraries attempt to include the data whenever available andapplicable.
1.6 Input Standards
Records must follow the Standard for University of California Union Catalog InputRecords (Oakland: Division of Library Automation, University of California, 1990). Thisstandard covers content designation, tape characteristics, and character sets. The contentdesignation standard selected (OCLC, RIJN, or DI,A) will determine where local datais recorded.

RECORD FORMAT FOR THE N1ELVYL® CATALOG
I. INTRODUCTION
Records received for the NI EINN-1. catalog database and the periodicals database canvary in their record formats, especially in the area of local data. To assure uniformityof indexing and user display, some normalization of incoming records takes place. Thisdocument describes the NI ELVYL catalog local data format and its structure and providesexamples that illustrate this normalization.
2. RECORD STRUCTURE
The NI ELVYL catalog record consists of five parts, called "segments." The segments arelinked hierarchically in the order given below:
I. Bibliographic Segment. This segment contains the information about thebibliographic work and consists of all nonlocal \IARC fields. There is onebibliographic segment per union catalog record, and it contains the base recordfields and all preserved variations.
2. .Maintenance Segment. There is one maintenance segment created for eachOCLC, REIN, or campus system record that enters the \IELVYL catalog.It contains the control numbers and dates necessary to correctly update eachrecord received from campus input.
3. Holding Segment. This segment contains the holding library code, the callnumber, the summary holdings statement (if there is one), and any locationlevel notes. (The latter generally would be stored as 590 notes in the MARCformat.) Each holding location received in an input record will he placed in aseparate holding segment in the MEIN)" catalog record. Thus, a maintenancesegment may have more than one holding segment following it.
4. Copy Segment. Each copy segment represents a single copy number. Includedin the copy segment are copy level notes and copy level call numbers.
5. Olume Segment. The volume segment represents a single physical volume,where possible, or a volume range that is treated as a unit. This segmentcarries information used in control of the physical volume, such as acquisitionsnumbers, circulation system numbers, status information, etc.
