MARC Subscription Service Supports Larger Length Records

The MARC Subscription Service (MSS) now supports larger length records, and also offers MSS users the option to select which transactions to receive. Available transaction activities include commands issued using Connexion or CatExpress for:

• Updating holdings
• Deleting holdings
• Produce actions
• Replacing and updating holdings

MSS users can complete the newly revised order form to update their subscription. The form is available in PDF at http://www.oclc.org/support/forms/pdf/subser.pdf > and in HTML at https://www3.oclc.org/app/subser/.

In addition, Appendix E of the OCLC-MARC Records Guide has been revised. See: http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/worldcat/records/subscription/appendixe.pdf.
