What is the OCLC policy for creating parallel anguage bibliographic records based on non-English language catalog records?
The OCLC policy is for creating parallel language records can be found in OCLC’s Technical Bulletin 250: Parallel Records. In brief, prior to October 2003 records for the same title, but cataloged in different languages, such as English, Spanish and French, were considered duplicate records. OCLC no longer considers these records as duplicates, but instead allows catalogers to create separate records for the same item in a different language of cataloging.
