The records will come from various libraries (around 13) each one with distinctive control numbers (field 001) so I think maybe comparing
I'd like to jump in this conversation, too, because I haven't been able to get the match rule to work and got only one response last time I queried the list. I'm trying to match on the OCLC control number, which seems to be in both 001 and 035. I tried matching on 001, as Galen advised below, and using "control-number" as the index, and I've also tried using "ocm" as the index. Here's what I have now: Description: OCLC control number Threshold: 1000 Search index: control-number Score: 1000 Tag: 001 Subfields: a Length: 0 Offset: 0 Normalization rule ?? I added a match check with the same information (field 001, subfield a). Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Karen Kohn Collection Development Manager Landman Library Arcadia University 450 S.

field and title (field 245$a) would give me a good enough matching rule.
Yes, if you know that the source control numbers are unique, the 001 would be a good match point.
Frist thing I don't understand completely ... when creating a new matching rule I must specify a "search index" value (on ISBN rule it has 'isbn'). Now, for something like what I need, what should be the value, if it has to be one...
Use the Control-number index, which in the MARC21 indexing definitions indexes the 001 field.
