QUICK GUIDE TO OCLC EXPORT/OVERLAY INTO CLIO

Record Creation Procedures

  1. OCLC bibliographic records have a unique 8 digit ID number that displays at the top of the record:
    EXAMPLE: OCLC: 12345678
  2. Adding an 035 field with an OCLC ID number into a preliminary record in CLIO will target it to be overlaid by the OCLC record when it is exported.
  3. The presence of 035 fields in OCLC records have historically created improper record overlays into CLIO and must therefore be deleted before exporting.
  4. The format of the 035 to be added in CLIO should be: 035::(OCoLC)ocm followed by the 8 digit OCLC ID number:
    EXAMPLE: 035::(OCoLC)ocm12345678
  5. Now exporting the record from OCLC will overlay the preliminary record in CLIO
