OhioLINK Institutional Priority Order to Determine the Bibliographic Record Displayed
August, 2002
Once the OhioLINK system matches bibliographic records and determines encoding group levels, the following institutional priority is used to determine what institution's bibliographic record displays at the central site.
Priority 1: The libraries in this priority group maintain authority control on both LC and MeSH headings. In the interest of keeping as many access points as possible, their records are preferred over those of other libraries, if the encoding level group is the same.
Priority 1 libraries are:
Case Western Reserve University
Ohio State University
Ohio University
University of Cincinnati
Wright State University.
Priority 2. The libraries in the second priority group use OCLC for ongoing cataloging. OCLC number will still be the preferred matching point, even when another matching algorithm is in use at the central site.
Priority 2 libraries are:
| Ashland University | Belmont Technical College | Bowling Green State University | Capital University |
| Cedarville University | Central State University | Cincinnnati Bible College and Seminary | Cincinnati State Technical & Community College |
| Clark State Community College | Cleveland State University | College of Mt. St. Joseph | Columbus State Community College |
| CONSORT Libraries | Cuyahoga Community College | Franklin University | Hiram College |
| John Carroll University | Kent State University | Lakeland Community College | Marietta College |
| Medical College of Ohio | Miami University | Mount Vernon Nazarene College | NEOUCOM |
| Northwest State Community College | Notre Dame College of Ohio | Oberlin College | Ohio Dominican University |
| Ohio Northern University | OPAL Libraries | Owens Community College | Rio Grande Community College |
| Shawnee State University | Sinclair Community College | Southern State Community College | State Library of Ohio |
| University of Akron | University of Dayton | University of Toledo | Ursuline College |
| Wittenberg University | Xavier University | Youngstown State University |
Priority 3: Center for Research Libraries records. (Not CRL records loaded at local sites and contributed from local sites.)
Priority 4: Because their ongoing cataloging will lack OCLC numbers, and because CRL records do have OCLC numbers, records from libraries that do not use OCLC will be at the lowest priority, below CRL records.
Priority 4 libraries are:
Edison State Community College
Hocking College
Jefferson Technical College
Lorain County Community College
Terra Community College
Washington State Community College.
