If no standard copy is available (for definition of standard copy see CPM-010 or CPM-011) a non-standard record found in OCLC may be used as a basis for a preliminary record.

If the record found matches the order or item in hand export the record into CLIO, and use it as a basis for the preliminary record. Proofread the record against the item in hand for typographical and tagging errors and correct as needed.

Accept the fixed and variable field information present on the record with the following modifications:

1. Change Encoding Level value to 5, if it does not already read 5.

2. Add any missing fixed and variable fields that would have been added if you were creating a preliminary record.

3. Delete 035 field if record is copied in CLIO; but retain 035 field if record is exported from OCLC.
   Go to 035 field summary

4. Verify series according to CPM-327 and CPM-305.

   Note: If series on non-standard record is tagged as 490 0 change it to 440 0. If a series on non-standard record is tagged as 490 1 with an 8XX, leave it as it is. See CPM-308

5. If there is a 5XX field with a "Priority" note in a |aDLC |bDLC record with an Encoding Level 5, delete it.
