MARC Displays

These two figures are displays of the same MARC record -- the one shown in the "MARC dump" in the previous figure. Several differences can be observed if one compares these two displays:

• The 008 field is displayed as one string of characters directly out of the MARC dump in the LC record, but in the OCLC record it is displayed on four lines with meaningful parts of the string preceded by labels.
• The LCCN in the 001 field in the LC record has been retagged as 010 in the OCLC record and is displayed with a hyphen instead of zeros.
• The position of the 020 and the 040 fields are switched in the two records.
• The OCLC record has a blank local 090 field and a local 049 field for editing purposes.
• The LC record displays subfield a, but the OCLC record does not.
• The LC record does not show blank characters inserted after the subfield codes as the OCLC record does.
• Etc.
