.Field 001 (which contains the Drupal NID) is used as LSN for OCLC. This field is used by OCLC as the Local System Number (LSN) to produce Unresolved Cross Reference and Bibliographic Cross Reference reports that list each OCLC control number across from the LSN. This information can be used to index the OCLC numbers in our local system. Indexing the OCLC control number links our library's records to other WorldCat services (e.g. WorldCat Discovery).
Please follow this link for instructions to upload MARC records to OCLC.
