• Hard to Say• Batch Load Date Cannot Be
Determined
• Clues• 987 Field (Romanization/Conversion

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?
