The one question that has gone unanswered so far (unless I've missed it)
is: Is there a need to make a special citation for a PCC record's
heading?
I'd say, no, not really. (Leaving aside questions of requesting that the
PCC library supply the record.) A citation of OCLC is just fine, as I
understand it, as the "LC in OCLC" designation is no longer the done.
(Didn't we discuss this just a few weeks ago?)
On the secondary debate, that of creating the NAR or referring it back to
the originating PCC library for the bib record, I'd:
1) Create the NAR myself if
it was straightforward
I had language expertise, etc.
2) Refer back to the originating library if condition 1
didn't apply.
It's generally faster to just supply the NAR. I might notify the PCC
library of my having created it. I suppose we could take a vote on what
sort of procedure BIBCO libraries in particular would like to see
followed. If, in all cases, they'd prefer to be have the omission
referred back to them, that would work, too.
