IX. Citing Bibliographic Records in RLIN21 and OCLCA. Full-level LC Bibliographic RecordsIf a search of the RLIN21 and/or OCLC bibliographic files retrieved any instances of pre-AACR2 usage of the heading on Library of Congress records input by LC (i.e., nottranscribed by another library—see Appendices I & II on Identifying LC Bibliographic Recordsin RLIN21 and OCLC), record this in a 670 field. (For LC minimal level cataloging (MLC)records retrieved, see section IX, B.)The information found in these records may be used, as appropriate, in formulating theheading.The format for the 670 field citing LC in RLIN21 or OCLC is:670 $a RLIN21, [date of search] $b (hdg.: [data]; usage: [data])670 $a OCLC, [date of search] $b (hdg.: [data]; usage: [data])670 $a LC database, [date of search] $b (hdg.: [data]; usage: [data])(The last format is used if the library has accessed LC's catalog through the Internet.)1. If the heading on the LC bibliographic record(s) match(es) the usage on the work beingcataloged, generally consider the heading on the LC record to be AACR and do notexamine or record the usage from the LC record. Use the heading from the LC record asthe NACO heading.NOTE: Usage on bibliographic records refers to literal transcriptions of the forms of nameusually found in the statement of responsibility on a bibliographic record. Literaltranscriptions may also appear in other parts of the bibliographic record, such as in the titleproper or in a quoted note. Be sure to transcribe the name as it appeared on thepublication and not as it was formulated because of cataloging rules. Variant refers toforms of the name other than usage.Examples:100 1 $a Grant, James, $d 1771 or 2-1833670 $a The narrative of a voyage of discovery, 1803: $b t.p.
