  8. Characteristics of Sample Records • Scripts: 69% CJK 31% Romanized • Duplication: 90% are duplicates • Source: 82% Batch Loaded • Miscellaneous: Some are mixed Wade-Giles and Pinyin

  9. Why Were They Not Converted? • Hard to Say • Batch Load Date Cannot Be Determined • Clues • 987 Field (Romanization/Conversion History) • Inputting/Modifying Libraries • Mostly RLIN Libraries?

  10. 987 Field Analysis(Romanization/ Conversion History)

  11. Source Libraries

  12. Who Can Fix This Problem? • OCLC Quality Control Staff do not have Chinese language capabilities • Your Help Is Needed! • Convert Records to Pinyin • Check and Correct Authorities • Add Chinese characters, if possible • Report Duplicates

  13. How Can We Do It? • OCLC Enhance Library? • Convert and Replace Records • Report Duplicates • Non-Enhance Library? • Report using the 952 field • Work with OCLC to allow reporting of Wade-Giles duplicates without converting them first?
