Subject: [MARC] MARC 21 Update No. 12: Full and Concise available online
Update No. 12 (October 2010) is now available on the MARC website
(www.loc.gov/marc/). It is integrated into the documentation for each of
the Online Full and Concise formats that are maintained on that site --
the Bibliographic format, Authority format, Holdings format,
Classification format, and Community Information format. The
documentation
includes changes made to the MARC 21 formats resulting from proposals
which were considered by the ALA ALCTS/LITA/RUSA Machine-Readable
Bibliographic Information Committee (MARBI), the Canadian Committee on
MARC (CCM) and the BIC Bibliographic Standards Group in June 2010.
The changes are indicated in red. Each format also has an appendix,
"Format Changes for Update No. 12 (October 2010)" that lists the changes
that comprise the update. The Web version of the formats is the official
version and is considered the start for implementation planning for MARC
21. Users are not expected to begin using the new features in the format
until 60 days from the date of this announcement: November 21, 2010. For
more information about format documentation see:
http://www.loc.gov/marc/status.html
The printed version of the update will be available through the
Cataloging
Distribution Service in the future. The printed format update will
include
pages for fields that have been changed, with changes marked with
sidelining. At the same time the 2010 Concise formats will be made
available in print. The printed publications will be announced when they
are ready for distribution.
