I looked at both records in OCLC's copy of the authority file. Both appear to have been corrected. I include copies of both records. Sorry for the diacritics--they just don't transfer well! OCLC is correctly modifying 100, 400, and 500 fields. We are more than halfway through the process of cleaning up the obsolete 1st indicator; however, it will shortly be on hiatus during the pinyin conversion and redistribution of authority records in August and September. 010 n 81068915 040 DLC $b eng $c DLC $d DLC $d OCoLC 005 20000429064557.0 100 1 Garc�ia Bacca, Juan David, $d 1901- 400 1 Bacca, Juan David Garc�ia, $d 1901- 400 1 Garc�ia, David, $d 1901- 400 1 Garc�ia Bacca, David, $d 1901- 400 1 Bacca, David Garc�ia, $d 1901- 400 1 Garc�ia Bacca, Juan D. $q (Juan David), $d 1901- 400 1 Bacca, Juan D.

Students of history will recall that the BL followed LC's original schedule for this, and abolished x00.2 from our own formats and systems in 1998. LC delayed their abolition until the implementation of Voyager this year; its continuing presence in NACO authority records has acted as a brake on our re-use of NACO headings in the Anglo-American Authority File (AAAF), which is the shared portion of our respective authority files, through which we also make our NACO contribution. We were greatly relieved when LC were persuaded to employ OCLC to clean up the NACO file to remove this indicator value from existing authority records. I now discover to my horror that OCLC may correcting only the headings (100) and not the references (400). I hope I am wrong, but I have by chance encountered two records where this appears to be the case: n81068915 Garcia Bacca, Juan David, 1901- n84030601 Garcia Barcena, Joaquin According to data in the 005 and 040 fields, both records have been modified by OCLC (in April and May). The headings are coded 100.10, but the records still contain references coded 400.20. Please will someone tell me that I have come to a false conclusion? If the 100 fields only are being modified, but not the other x00 fields, the exercise loses much of its value for us and we are back in the same frustrating position where we were before.
