Subfield Sample Notes
a (OCoLC)85364021 The main System Control Number for this record at the time of export. A qualifier should be included. When exported from OLIB, the first 035 $a will be the Title Number.
z (OCoLC)9876543210 The Canceled/invalid control number for this record.
When the incoming data is a qualified OCLC Number in this subfield and the import is matching by OCLC Record Number, these numbers will also be used to identify the Title for matching. If matched, the Title will be updated to record the new OCLC Record Number from $a.
