Marty, et al.,

Since your question to the list arrived on the last day of my tour of duty
as the BIBCO Operations Committee responder to questions, I am replying to
your query about foreign language subject headings in PCC records. I
consulted with Ana Cristan about the LC practice in the document you cited
below, and she confirmed that it does in fact apply to BIBCO libraries.
Since the document describes what types of records LC considers copy
cataloging as opposed to original cataloging, that distinction seems to be
the crux of the matter. If you consider the vendor record you are
upgrading to be original cataloging, then you should remove the extraneous
subjects in accordance with LC practice. If the record is considered copy
cataloging, you may retain the subjects. This is a local decision for the
individual BIBCO library. However, I also checked the "Guidelines for
National Level Enhance Participants," which Jay Weitz distributed in
December 1998. Section C, 3, c states: "DO NOT remove information (for
instance, added entries or database enrichments) from a record unless the
information is in error." It seems to me that these two sets of
guidelines may conflict and further clarification is needed for those PCC
catalogers who do their work in OCLC. At Chicago, we have followed the
OCLC enhance guidelines pretty strictly for PCC upgrades and have retained
any information which we found in existing records, but this may be in
conflict with the LC guidelines. It would be helpful to hear what other
libraries have been doing in this regard.
