Glenn and Cynthia,
I was surprised to read:
Libraries may change the language of vendor records to the language of
the upgrading library when upgrading vendor records to full level.
Libraries receive a credit for upgrading minimal level records. ...
It seems to me the language could be stronger to indicate that the
language SHOULD reflect the language of cataloging, not whatever
language the vendor record was in. I recognize this won't necessarily
be any particular language so there is some "may-ness" to this. The
cataloging language of the full record might be the vendor language but
not English or any other particular language.
Sorry if this doesn't make sense but the "Libraries may change" seemed
pretty permissive.
