Searching Tips for OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging
This document provides information about searching for library staff who help plan the configuration of the library's Z39.50 client. It also helps those who train or supervise staff who will use the OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging service.
For OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging, searching methods are determined by the capabilities of the OCLC server and by the implementation of the capabilities in your library's local system client. For example, the server makes several indexes available for searching. The library decides which indexes its client will support and how staff will use them.
The Z39.50 Configuration Guide for OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging also contains information about the server's searching capabilities.
For information describing MARC record structure, character sets, and exchange media formatting, see OCLC-MARC Records.
SCIPIO: Art and Rare Book Sales Catalog. This database is the only online union catalog of auction catalog records in existence. These records have been loaded into WorldCat. To search for only SCIPIO records, just search as you normally would and add the Authentication Code index with “scipio” to your search.

In addition to OLUCWorldCat, you can use the OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging service to search these OCLC databases:
Depending upon your client, separate sessions may be required for each database.
The indexes provided by the server are listed in the section below about MARC fields and subfields indexed.
Most indexes in OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging are word or phrase indexes. The following
examples highlight the differences between them:
-
To search for the title Baffled, but not beaten, or, Nick Carter's fight for life in a phrase index, you must enter the entire title: baffled but not beaten or nick carters fight for life. Your search finds only records
containing that specific title.
In a word index you enter one-or-more words from the title, for example, you might enter baffled and beaten. Your search finds the records containing the title Baffled, but not beaten, or, Nick Carter's fight for life and it also finds other records containing baffled and beaten.
To search for the title Emma in a phrase index, you enter emma. Your search
finds only records containing that one-word title.
In a word index, if you enter emma, your search finds all records containing emma anywhere in the title.
The OCLC server supports the Z39.50 Scan Service capability. If your client supports that capability, you can browse indexes to view a list of the words or phrases included. When you want to use a phrase index, OCLC recommends browsing it first to verify the phrase
before searching.
In word indexes. Stopwords (listed below) are words that are not included in word indexes because they occur frequently and do not add to the content of the indexes. Exclude stopwords from searches in word indexes. If you include a stopword in a word index search, the server returns an error message.
In phrase indexes. Include stopwords in searches of phrase indexes. However, exclude a,
an, or the when it is the first word of a title.

Include the following letters, digits, punctuation marks, and symbols in searches:
- Letters, a-z
- Digits, 0-9
- - (hyphen) within words
- & (ampersand) within words
You do not need to capitalize names or other proper nouns in searches. All letters are treated as lowercase
whether you enter them as lowercase or uppercase.
Exclude hyphens when they are preceded and followed by blank spaces. Include them within words, such as high-energy. Search for hyphenated words in various ways. For example: post operative, post-operative,
postoperative.
When an ampersand (&) is preceded and followed by blank spaces, exclude it in word indexes but include it in phrase indexes. Include ampersands within words in word or phrase indexes. For example, enter at&t.
Substitute a space for a / (slash). For example, enter men women instead of men/women.
Exclude other punctuation marks and symbols. Do not substitute a space for them. For example, to search for O'Hara, enter ohara.
Back to top
When searching for International Standard Serial Numbers (ISSNs), International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs), and Library of Congress Control Numbers (LCCNs), use thefollowing rules:
- Enter an ISSN with a hyphen. For example, to search for ISSN 0043-5651, enter: 0043-5651
- Enter an ISBN without hyphens. For example, to search for ISBN 0-316-08275-9, enter:
0316082759
- Enter an LCCN as an eight- or ten-digit number without a hyphen. The first two or four (beginning 2001) digits represent the year; the remainder of the number has six digits including leading zeros. For example:
- to search for the LCCN 86-3211, enter: 86003211
- to search for the LCCN 2001-33918, enter: 2001033918
Music number searching has been normalized. Data is concatenated up to parentheses, periods and dashes (“ab(123)”, “ab.123” and “ab-123” are all searchable as “ab123”). Each music number up to a comma is indexed alone. All letters of your search term are significant and should be included. The maximum number of valid numbers per record is 20.
Dewey Decimal Classification
Dewey Decimal classification indexes use only the subject portion of the call numbers assigned. Decimal points are retained. Concatenate all spaces and ignore all punctuations except periods.
For example, to search for the subject Manned space flight, enter: 629.45.
Library of Congress classification indexes use only the subject portion of the call numbers assigned. Zero ranging has been eliminated. Only subfield a of the classification number is searchable. For example “QA74.M7” can now only be accessed under “QA74”.
Delete all punctuation and spaces to search government document numbers.
For example, to search for Y 4.P 96/10:N 81 d, enter: y4p9610n81d
Each part of a subject heading is indexed as a separate phrase. For example, Ireland--History--Civil War, 1922-1923 is
indexed as the following phrases:
- ireland
- history
- civil war 1922-1923
Right truncation is supported for subject heading phrases.
Omit initial articles (a, an, the, and the non-English equivalents) from your title search.
The title and subtitle (subfields a and b of the 245 field) are combined and indexed as a single phrase. For example, Around the majors in 60 days : my baseball dream is indexed as around the majors in 60 days my baseball dream. Because right truncation is supported for title phrases, you can enter around the majors to search for this title and others that begin around the majors, if right truncation is
set.
If your client supports the Z39.50 Scan Service, you can browse indexes to view a list of the words or phrases included. OCLC recommends browsing the title phrase index before searching to verify the phrase to use.
When searching a subject phrase index for records describing materials about an author (or any person), enter the last name first and then the first name. Do not enter a comma after the last name.
When searching an author phrase index for records describing materials by an author, enter the last name first, a comma, and then the first name.
If your client supports the Z39.50 Scan Service, you can browse indexes to view a list of the words or phrases included. OCLC recommends browsing the author phrase index before searching to verify the phrase to
use.
When you browse an author phrase index, last names that begin with the same word are listed in the
following order:
- Two-word unhyphenated last names.
- Two-word hyphenated last names.
- Single-word last names.
For example, the following names would appear in the order shown below:
- lloyd weber, andrew
- lloyd-jones, charles
- lloyd, alan
Date of Sale (SCIPIO only)
You can enter a date of sale as a single day (month-day-year or month-year) or as a date range.
- Single day: Enter April 15, 2005 as 04152005 or
Single month: Enter April, 2005 as 042005
- Date range. Enter any date within the range. Given a record representing a sale held from June 25, 1955 to July 9, 1955, users should be able to enter:
Date range: 06291955 (June 29, 1955) or 06301955-07311955 (June 30-July 3, 1955)

OCLC Institution Records are records acquired from other cataloging systems (initially RLG Union Catalog bibliographic records from the Research Libraries Information Network). An institution record preserves a specific institution's MARC bibliographic description for a specific library item. Unlike WorldCat master records, a given item may have multiple independent institution records associated or attached to it.
Institution Records are stored in the OCLCInstitutionRecord database, and can be accessed via their Institution Record Numbers. These numbers are found within one or more 952 fields in a WorldCat master record. However, when searching WorldCat, information stored in attached Institution Records is searched as well.
Example record set
These four records are used in the search example below. Fields may have a different overall appearance in your particular Z39.50 client. Some fields are not shown to save space.
OCLC Master record. The WorldCat record is OCLC 00000079, Cubism and abstract art by the Museum of Modern Art..

Search example
If a subject search is performed with the search text cubism, OCLC 00000079, Cubism and abstract art , is retrieved because the OCLC master record (as well as all of the Institution Records) contains the 650 heading Cubism.
If a subject search is performed with the search text art, modern , OCLC 00000079, Cubism and abstract art, is still retrieved because the attached (and searched) Institution Record for the Amon Carter Musuem Library contains the 690 heading Art,Modern -- 20th century .

For each index, the table below lists the combinations of Use and Structure attributes used to access the index through the OCLC Z39.50 server. The table also lists the MARC fields and subfields covered by the index. Where "word" is valid as a structure attribute, "word list" is valid as well.
Please note that WorldCat indexing does not directly follow the Bib-1 attribute set and there may be local differences between what OCLC has mapped and the Bib-1 attribute set available on the Library of Congress Z39.50 Maintenance Agency Page.
OCLC provides a Test Server to assist users and system vendors with Z39.50 client configuration.

Z39.50 users can see other institutions' specific holdings in full records only via multiple 948 fields. To view holdings, users must configure their service for either Element Set Name FD (view default holdings) or Element Set Name FA (view all holdings). The resulting records will have the same display as Element Set Name F but with holdings.
Note: Holdings display is not available for Element Set Names F1, F2, F3 (non-Latin data).
See Z39.50 Configuration Guide for OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging for additional information.
Default holdings.
When you choose default holdings, the default is determined as follows:
| If... |
Then... |
| More than 20 libraries hold the item and 10 or more of them are in your location (U.S. state, Canadian province, other country, or other continent). |
The system displays holdings information for libraries in your location. |
| More than 20 libraries hold the item and fewer than 10 of them are in your location, but 10 or more of them are in your region. |
The system displays holdings information for libraries in your region. |
| 20 or fewer libraries hold the item or more than 20 libraries hold the item, but fewer than 10 of them are in your location or region. |
The system displays all holdings information. |
948 Fields.
The 948 fields are configured as follows:
| Subfield... |
Contains |
| a |
ISO country code |
| b |
U.S. state or Canadian province information; for all other countries this field is not included |
| c |
OCLC institution symbol |
| d |
Library name |
The 948 fields are listed alphabetically by library name.
Examples:
948 ‡a US ‡b OH ‡c APL ‡d Akron-Summit Cnty Pub Libr
948 ‡a US ‡b OH ‡c SID ‡d Amos Mem Pub Libr
948 ‡a US ‡b OH ‡c OH9WF ‡d Avon Lake Pub Libr
Note: Widely-held items with large numbers of 948 fields may produce records too large for some Z39.50 clients to display.

Z39.50 Cataloging supports non-Latin scripts using either the MARC-8 or the Unicode UTF-8 character sets (see MARC-8 Note).
Four options are available. Note that fields may have a different overall appearance and 880 fields may not display in your particular Z39.50 client. See Z39.50 Configuration Guide for OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging for details on selecting an option.
Note: All records shown are MARC-8.
Include all data, with non-Latin scripts in the 880 field(s).
Include Latin script only [no 880 field(s)].
![Include Latin script only [no 880 field(s).]](images/Option2_01.gif)

MARC-8 Note
Note: When the MARC-8 default is retained, UTF-8 characters that cannot be converted to MARC-8 are displayed as hexadecimal numeric character references (view example).
