Does OCLC enter all records using AACR2 descriptive cataloging?

We enter records using the cataloging level found on the source item. If a card is provided in AACR2, an original record will be entered as such. Generally, conversion projects do not deal with AACR2 cataloging. Our staff is very experienced with conversions; however, they do not re-catalog items provided.
