Science/NSF report

[Pikas, Christina K.]

Even more so - let's leave both AACR2 and the MARC records to the
catalogers when possible :)
(actually, I think AACR2 is just fee-based? Either in print or through
catalogers desktop)

My question was something different.  I know there is an OCLC api web
service to match up multiple ISBNs (xISBN,
http://www.worldcat.org/affiliate/webservices/xisbn/app.jsp).  Is there
a similar service to automate this hunting of OCLC records for ISSNs and
journal names and changes?

Maybe something like Ulrich's would be more user friendly?

Dear Stephen, 

Thank you so much. Can you provide an URL for an online version of
AACR2, please? (The library of our university has the book, but it is
out.) I could not find an URL. 

The MARC Codes and the tracing are better left to the real librarians
among us, aren't they?

With best wishes, 


Loet
