The date in the MARC21 record behind the scenes is a six-digit date. You cannot edit Entered. The following provides information on how these services display, output, or change the data in the field:

  • Collection Manager. The format for the date displayed in Collection Manager is yyyymmdd where yyyy represents the 4 digit year; mm, the month; dd, the day.

  • Connexion. When the fixed field mnemonic is displayed as control fields, Entered date will appear in 008/00-05. The format for the date displayed in 008/00-05 is yymmdd where yy represents the last 2 digits of the year; mm, the month and dd, the day. When the fixed field is displayed in a mnemonic format, the replaced date will appear as Entered. The format for the date displayed in Entered is yyyymmdd where yyyy represents the 4 digit year; mm, the month; dd, the day.

  • Metadata API. The format for the date displayed in Metadata API is yymmdd where yy represents the last 2 digits of the year; mm, the month; dd, the day.

  • Record Manager. The format for the date displayed in Record Manager is yymmdd where yy represents the last 2 digits of the year; mm, the month; dd, the day.

Entered is the date the record was input into WorldCat if it was added directly online. For batchloaded records, OCLC uses the date created or converted at the institution of origin, not the date OCLC added the record.

OCLC does not change Entered for corrected or replaced records with Rec stat code c. OCLC retains the original date of online input or the date a batchloaded record was created in the system of origin.

When OCLC replaces a member-input record with a batchloaded record, the system changes Entered to the record creation date from the batchloading institution. OCLC does not retain the original Entered date of the member-input record.
