PRESSURE POINTS: • Rising costs • Lower budgets • Cost/benefit • Savings/harm.
SUCCESSOR TO NCCP • Lower cost to participate • Easier interconnectivity • Fewer system-based limitations.
PCC GOALS • To increase the supply of quality records in the world cataloging record pool • To increase the number of catalogers and cataloging institutions contributing such records.
A QUALITY RECORD • Dependably usable.
USABILITY Requires little or no • Verification • Modification, or • Postponement of use.
DEPENDABILITY: Count on: • Accurate description • Controlled access points.
CORE STANDARD CHARACTERISTICS • Minimum standard • Identification/retrieval • Dependably usable • Known quantity.
A MINIMUM STANDARD • Minimum not minimal • Provides floor or base • “Upwardly compatible” • May include additional fields up to full.
CORE STANDARD • First defined for books materials • Then defined for other types of materials • Apply in spirit as well as letter to nonbook materials.
BOTH CORE AND FULL Standards have the same: • Authority control for headings • Adherence to rules/practices • Main entry choice and form • Title page & series transcription • Physical description.
PARADIGM SHIFT: LIMIT: You must/must not VS. FLOOR: You must at least/you may add (up to full)

CORE RECORD JUDGEMENT BOUNDED BY: • AACR2R and LCRIs • Core record standard • Institutional policies • Identification / retrieval.
CORE GUIDELINES: 1. Would the proposed addition be correct in a full record? 2a. Will the proposed addition materially aid retrievability? or 2b. Will the proposed addition materially aid identification?
