CIP Problem Example

Step 1: CIP Bib record and SAR are created by LC, based on what publisher tells them they plan to publish.

t.p. Teaching literacy effectively in the primary school

series: Language and literacy in action

040: DLC |cDLC

Step 2: Book is actually published:

t.p.: Teaching literacy effectively in the primary school
ser. t.p. : Language and literacy in action series

***Notice that the publisher changed the series title, so that the book as published no longer matches the records!

Step 3: OCLC's CIP unit catalogs the book, filling in pagination, etc. but see what happens to the series!

Series descriptive field (4xx) may have been changed to match the book, and an 830 added to "force" a match with the authority record. What should happen is that the SAR and bib record should be changed. The catalogers can make these change and the record should be marked SA&. Note also that Language and literacy in action series is not a 4xx on the SAR, which is another clue that this book should be flagged as a problem.

Step 4: Record and SAR fixed by cataloger. Everything matches!
