CJK Cataloging Technical Issues

• Parallel Records Clarification
• Do not create Hybrid records by using the
  linked 880 field with English data
• Case of WINE records Enhance them into MARC 21
  record eng as language of cataloging with
  enrichment data
• Parallel Records (TB 250) is applicable to input
  records if they are meaningful enough for local
  users still require 880 romanized data fields
• Parallel records search may take more time/cost
  as 040 b is not indexed
