TERMINAL OPERATORS:
I. Type the OCLC control number or save number in the home position <F11>. Check
the bibliographic record to see if anything has been changed since the printout was taken.
If there have been changes, take a new printout and indicate "Record change." It
will go to a cataloger for review. For a serial record Bibliographic Level (BLvl) in the
fixed field must be "s".
II. If a serial title publication is current, the fixed field will read: Dates: 1969,
9999 [1969 is the year when the first issue of the serial title has started or 19uu, 9999
if beginning date is unknown]. In this case DtSt: will record "C".
III. If a serial title has ceased publication, the fixed field will record: Dates:
1968, 1975 [beginning date is 1968, ending date is 1975]. In this case DtSt: will record
"D".
IV. Input item information in 949 field of an OCLC and Save record.
